Heirs of Oz #3

Cowardly as a Lion

Rate this book
Hunger makes all creatures equal...

It's been a long time since Red felt anything but hungry. All she knows is hunting and running, her instincts ruling her body and leaving her feral. Desperate to escape the horrors of her past, one errant scent finds Red face to face with The Lion of Oz. King is aloof and emotionless most times, but something about him sets Red's blood on fire. If he wasn't so determined to annoy her at every turn, she might almost like him.

Almost.

Only one lock remains between Toto and his freedom. If broken, Oz will be forced to march into battle against the World Breakers plotting to watch the worlds burn. The yellow brick road readies itself for blood.

Warring between who she once was and who she's become, Red must face her nightmares and accept the beast inside. Will she finally sate the hunger or will Red lose herself to the wildness within?

In the end, madness is written...

About the author

Kendra Moreno

74 books791 followers
Kendra Moreno is secretly a spy but when she’s not dealing in secrets and espionage, you can find her writing her latest adventure. She lives in Texas where the summer days will make you melt, and southern charm comes free with every meal. She’s a recovering Road Rager (kind of) and slowly overcoming her Star Wars addiction (nope!), and she definitely didn’t pass on her addiction to her son (she did). She has one hellhound named Mayhem who got tired of guarding the Gates of Hell and now guards her home against monsters. She’s a geek, a mother, a scuba diver, a tyrannosaurus rex, and a wordsmith who sometimes switches out her pen for a sword.

If you see Kendra on the streets, don’t worry: you can distract her with talks about Kylo Ren or Loki.

AMAZING

She has done it again people! An amazing "ending" to an amazing series.

Gahd this woman tore my heart out with this one, not just for the Lion who as you may have noticed in the first 2 books removed himself from everything remotely warm or poor Red who lost everything due to misplaced well you'll figure it out, but my poor man White he got the heartbreak in this one, you would think after his own story he at least keeps his happy ending (he deserves it dammit!)

And the ending is just not what you expect ! Don't get me wrong blood will spill but just not where you would think, can you say plot twist!? Another homerun and we still have the novella coming up so we're not done yet.

Madre mía!! El primer libro del año ... Y menuda novela...me ha encantado, el echo de que la autora haya reunido aquí todos los personajes es maravilloso...los giros inesperados que le ha dado, otro punto a su favor...antes de terminar la novela ya decía yo que tenía todas las papeletas para ser mi favorita...y no sólo por los protagonistas, sino por la trama en sí.

Si las obras anteriores no te dan un respiro, esta es un sin parar...lo único que sí debo mencionar es que (desde mi punto de vista) tanto los protagonistas masculinos como los femeninos parecen estar cortados por el mismo patrón en los primeros capítulos, pero también es cierto que según avanzamos, dichos personajes van evolucionando con diferentes personalidades cada uno...

Para mí se merece las cinco estrellas ❤️❤️❤️

I don't even know where to begin with my review. In the voice of Anna - That was Epic!!!
Goose Bumps, tears (yes, I cried), cheers, boos, that moment when I was like - what in the world - No way!!!!
This book was packed with punches and more. A battle scene for the ages!! And in true Moreno fashion - a love story like no other!
The family continues to grow. Each dynamic brought to the family makes it more and more amazing!
Red and Lion - 2 amazingly unique characters that I was instantly drawn to. I couldn't get enough of either one of them.
I can't wait to read more of this series!

OMG, I am convinced that Kendra wants to give me a heat attack!!! What a rollercoaster. I really love king!! He tried so hard not to break his lock but it happened all the same and with it the conclusion to this epic series!!! Red went thru so much to trust feral and with doing it she became "more" and was one of the pivotal characters in defeating Lobo... I can´t wait to see what other adventures await this group of "friends" which came together by chance and now have become a unit!

little wolf and mighty lion

Another awesome piece of the story, as the battle for oz comes to a head.

The universe requires balance but can the strange band of companions pull things together to overcome the beauty and the lobo?


Red and King battle exploration of self acceptance and attraction but the secrets… will they be too much to overlook?

You know it. Another awesome story from Kendra Moreno

I was so worried this would be the end of the series and it isn't! I loved King and Red's story and I cannot wait for more. I loved getting a peak into Whites story as well. I can't wait to find out more about Hatter and Clara. My favorite part of this series is that as it progresses you continue to see your favorite characters from the previous books.

Incredibly addictive

The lion and Red may now be some of my favorite characters. While they deal with paranormal issues, they also have to work through Red’s trauma. The story is exciting and emotionally gripping.
