My sister found love with a dashing alien warrior, but I’m too practical for something like that to ever happen to me.
Right?
Now that Nadia is happily settled into her new life with Zatir, I’m not quite sure what to do with myself. I was the protective older sibling for so long, I’ve forgotten who I am besides that.
I need to make my own life on this strange new planet. Need to figure out how I fit in here.
So when a natural disaster strikes a remote village on Kalix, I volunteer to go help with the rescue mission. I want to pay back a little of the debt I owe these fierce alien warriors.
But I didn’t know he would be coming too. Vrale. The brawny Kalixian who always seems to get under my skin in a way that no one else can.
He’s older than most of the other warriors, and there’s something about his quiet, stoic demeanor that draws me to him. He’s haunted by something from his past, although I don’t know what it is. And even though he’s not looking for a mate any more than I am…
Sometimes fate has other plans.
Possessed is a full-length standalone sci-fi romance featuring hot alien gladiators with huge… horns, a down-to-earth heroine who learns to let go, and a jaded warrior who gets a second chance at love.
If you like hot aliens, sweeping adventure, and steamy romance, you’ll love this series. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and a happily ever after guaranteed!
Note: each book in the series can be read as a standalone, but for maximum enjoyment, it’s recommended that the series be read in order.

Alien earthquakes!
The following ratings are out of 5:
Romance: 💚🖤💙❤️
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📙📘
World building: 🌏🌍🌎🌏
Character development: 😠😚😁☺️
Narration: 🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙
Narration Type: Dual Narration
The heroine: Brielle - she is sister to Nadia from Pursued. She worked in a law office and she raised Nadia after their parents died. She was always very responsible and got overprotective when Nadia was hurt by an ex. After being abducted by aliens and rescued by the Kalixians, she decided to stay on Kalix, though she mostly stayed in her apartment and didn’t go out much. However, after Nadia was mated to Zatir and moved in with him, Brielle decided to get out more.
The Hero: Vrale - he works as a military trainer, and was mated to his sweetheart when they were pretty young. He loved her and when she died, he grieved her and still does. He never thought he would have another fated mate. He had heard that it happened before, but thought it was mostly myth. So when he met Brielle he wanted to be friends with her.
The Story: When there is an earthquake in a Kalixian village, volunteers are needed for the rescue and recovery. Brielle decides this is something she can help with so she goes along with a bunch of Kalixian males to the town. Immediately her and Vrale start talking and becoming friends, but when they touch, they both know they are fated mates.
Though Vrale doesn’t know what to feel since he is so surprised, having never thought it would happen to him again. So it takes a while before things start to heat up between them. I do love how much they talk and how they truly become friends before much happens. I also liked the earthquake storyline, it was different but good, especially when the two of them end up in a dangerous situation.
This book was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Meg Price and C.J. Grey. I like both of their voices and they both do a terrific job in the narration. Though it was dual narration, they both have good voices for the opposite sex and this was an easy listen. I also liked the fact that Vrale wasn’t so much still grieving his mate that died, but more afraid to love again because of the loss.

I know I don't take prisoners and I've been trying to be more lenient, passing out two stars instead of one but I can't with this one. Minor Spoiler Besides, it was hard to focus because their "adventure" is sooo boring. Presley focuses more on the adventure rather than on the conversation/relationship. Besides, I'm so irritated with "Irisa" and "my soul has recognized yours", so cringe. That's as much dirty talking as you're gonna get from these men. The men are not the aggressive ones and always with the asking permission for everything, gawd. The girls are dirtier than the men.

**1.8/5 stars**
In the last book of the series, it’s Brielle’s turn to find her new purpose now that her sister Nadia has spread her wings. Struggling to find her place, Brielle realizes she’s been distant from the other women and doesn’t know how to reconnect. As she starts to come out of her shell, she seizes the chance to be useful when a quake destroys one of the Kalix villages and a rescue mission is organized. She befriends Vrale who seems to be haunted by his past.
There's some spoilers below so read at your own risk...
I really disliked this book. The hero, Vrale, was mated to a Kalixian woman who died many years ago, and he constantly talks and thinks about her. I can usually handle this trope if the character has moved on or has processed their grief, but here, he just kept comparing Brielle to his late mate, which was exhausting. Personality-wise, I liked him; he was stoic and mature, but his fixation on his ex-mate made Brielle seem like second best.
As for Brielle, she was completely different person than what she'd been portrayed in the previous book. I'm disappointed because I thought that her book would be so much more interesting than that. Since she was against the mate bond when it happened to her sister, I thought she would fight her own bond every step of the way and have to come to terms with being cared for, to let go of her rigid and cautious ways. Instead, we got a story of her being second best in her own fated mate story, and her accepting the bond immediately. Like, the fated mate bond isn't good for her sister but for herself it's okay? What are you, a hypocrite?
The push and pull of Vrale’s uncertainty about the bond—wondering if he’s worthy of a second mate—, and the constant talking about his previous mate really ruined the book for me. It’s also confusing that the bond could happen a second time. If his previous mate had still been alive, would he have had two mates, or does it mean that Vrale and Brielle weren’t meant to be unless the previous mate was out of the picture? It kind of undermines the romance of the fated mate bond, doesn’t it? It makes Brielle look like a replacement. Anyways, huge disappointment, especially for a last installment.
Overall, they didn’t have much chemistry. Vrale clearly wasn’t healed from losing his previous mate, and it didn’t seem like there was much room for a second mate in his life. Brielle was kind and understanding, but it didn’t feel natural for her to be so accepting. Their relationship didn’t sit well with me. Even in moments when she might have felt like a replacement, she didn’t act bothered at all, which was odd. I would have respected her more if she’d put some distance between herself and Vrale. He needed to process his grief alone; having Brielle involved only seemed to confuse him more. He should have worked through his past love first before trying to win Brielle over.

I tell myself all over again that it’s time for me to figure out how to make a life of my own, too. One that doesn’t require Nadia to be my reason for existence.-Brielle

“I was afraid that you might feel less for me than you did for—than before. You had a mate, before me. I worried that it wouldn't be as strong the second time. That you'd always wish it was her, that I'd just be...a replacement, I guess. Second best.”-Brielle

Nice end to the series. Glad the villain was the planet and their own resolve. The series never explains how they have technology on what is essentially a hunter gatherer planet, but whatever - it’s room for loincloths. Great couple to wrap it all up with, too!

A sweet love story to end the series
What a sweet way to end this series. No push/pull, no exciting battle scenes, just a sweet story about two people who thought life had passed them by, only to find each other. Oh I swear, my heart is all mushy right now.
Brielle was the bitchy, overprotective older sister to Nadia that we met in Pursued. Honestly, I don’t know how the author did it, but she took a totally unlikeable character from bitch to one of my favorites in just one book. Brielle has noticed the strong warrior, Vrele, who is in charge of training all the warriors on Kalix. He has noticed her too. They get closer during a rescue mission to another part of Kalix that has experienced a natural disaster. Vrale is taken aback when he realizes that Brielle is his fated mate. . . Because he already had one. He was bonded a long time ago, but lost his mate when the Orkun released a virus that killed all the females on their planet. He never believed the stories that some males had found a second mate. But he does now.
Before I started this book, I had just finished a series where the FMC was such a frustrating idiot, that reading about Brielle and Vrale was like a breath of fresh air. Two people, hit with fate, don’t fight it. They lean into it. Honestly, it was such a joy, and a relief, to read a story where the two main characters, while a bit surprised and hesitant, don’t do and say stupid shit. They just go with it. I thought Vrele’s initial reaction was understandable. How can this be? How can he have a second mate and still honor his first mate? But when Brielle asked him what was wrong, he didn’t lie. He told her his feelings. For her part, Brielle was pretty pragmatic about his previous relationship and while she may have had a few reservations, she jumped in with both feet. It was just such a delight to read and made me feel all squishy inside.
I’m sad about this series ending. I guess they have to at some point, right? I only wish we got an update on other couples. But if you like sci-fi romance books, you’ll like the series. I’m not sure I could pick out my favorite book because they were all so good.

Series Overview: This is a cracky kind of SFR where the heroes are all horned, loincloth-wearing and ribbed for her pleasure. The insta-love doesn't bypass the issue of consent and the couples usually have lots and lots o'sex on the road to an HEA. The stories hit many of the familiar tropes and there's a comfort in that. My issues are that Ms. Hall tends to over-explain - why describe a scene with one paragraph when you can use three? That type of thing. It worked in some books for me, but overall, I just think it could have benefitted from some judicious editing. The resolution to their romantic conflict almost always comes very early (heh) in the story. And the sex was fine but this isn't a series that necessarily works as a binge because the samey-ness to the stories really stands out. It's the tropes - depending on which ones are your faves, that's what determines if it works for you IMO.
Individual Books (I would choose your own adventure and read as you like, don't think it's crucial to read in order)
Possessed: Slightly older hero MCs (never specific, but said they're not in their twenties) with a love after fated mate death trope. A little repetitive towards the end, it was fine, but I think it was a good time to close out this series. I'd still prefer the author's Voxerans series to this. 3stars.

A fantastic end to finish off this series, with Brielle and Vrale experiencing the mate bond while off in the mountains helping recover and rebuild a village after an earthquake.

Oh my heart is so full with this new addition to what has been an intense series! Brielle has finally found her mate in Vrale and was it ever so explosive!! I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing with the execution of these two more than deserving characters. From hesitancy to acceptance, Presley does a fantastic job of describing each of their emotions and connecting to the readers soul.

Brielle shows her true strength in this story, I mean, you knew she had to be strong with having raised Nadia, but her courage shown through now as well. She’s brave, stubborn, hardheaded and willing to sacrifice so much for her new found family. I really enjoyed reading about her growth alongside of Vrale, opening up her mind to accept the bond.

As with the other Khalaxian warriors we have grown to love and admire, while also secretly wishing we could have one of our own, Vrale is an ideal mate. He’s caring, affectionate, loving, and willing to try new things with Brielle. But, I’m my opinion, he’s the most deserving warrior to have a second chance with a mate because of his personal history.
“Iƚ ɯαʂ ʅιƙҽ Ⴆҽιɳɠ ʂƚɾυƈƙ Ⴆყ ʅιɠԋƚɳιɳɠ αʅʅ σʋҽɾ αɠαιɳ.”
Vrale and Brielle’s connection was so intense and unexpected, making it that much more exciting! Their constant hesitancy and wariness of accepting the mate bond, made for a lot of pressure building up as their desire for one another continued to build. Once they finally gave in to the bond, it was as if a volcano erupted and continued to flow until the very last word!!

Possessed: Fated Mates of the Kalixian Warriors Book #11 by Presley Hall is a thoroughly enjoyable sci-fi alien romance. Brielle and Vrale, two likable characters, are shocked when they realize they are fated mates, and they both fight the overpowering magnetism. Vrale, who lost his first love early in life, never dreamed he would find friendship and passion again; he didn’t desire another love because loss of this proportion was so incapacitating. Brielle, the older sister to Nadia from the previous book, did not trust this instant, overwhelming attraction of the Kalixian race. As the two join a team of rescue workers to help earthquake victims, circumstances change when they are trapped in an underground cave. Forced proximity, fear of death, the mate pull, and respect for one another create a situation that the two cannot resist. They fall for each other, but when Vrale tells Brielle about the death of his first mate Syra, Brielle then rationalizes that he can never love her with the same degree of passion. It’s not until other dangers present themselves that Vrale understands he cannot give up this new opportunity to be happy again. He’s got to overcome the guilt he feels about loving another person. Needless to say, he does, and we have an HEA, but the dangers and plot twists along the way are the interesting elements that make this story entertaining. This book is a sweet ending (for now) to a good series.

This was a very enjoyable series, my favorite couple remains Jade and Brele, but all of them had their sweet or spicy charm, so I am almost sad to reach the end of the series.
One missing star for this book is due to Brielle being her annoying hypocritical self she was from the beginning, less than in previous book, but still.
All those thoughts and nagging for how she had to take care of Nadia, how she never had time for her life carrying for her sister rather than finding herself, are you kidding me? Firstly if it was such a burden, why continue with it way past Nadia's 18 yo? Secondly I'm not buying it, in order to be allowed by social services to take care of your sibling you have to be an adult yourself, right? Hence Nadia was hardly a toddler demanding attention 24/7, and Brielle had plenty of time to "find herself" before having to take the responsibility of raising a younger sister. I doubt at 20 Nadia was still waiting for her sister to come home from work and cook and clean for her for example.
Blaming Nadia for being a stuck up controlling spinster is low. And telling Vrale he needs to trust her and her choices and the risks she's taken, instead of protecting her non-stop is the cherry on top of Brielle's hypocrisy, considering how ott was her behavior towards Nadia.
Well the point is if you can forget you fully dislike the h, it's quite a beautiful story, and the rest of characters make up for it.
One missing star for this book is due to Brielle being her annoying hypocritical self she was from the beginning, less than in previous book, but still.
All those thoughts and nagging for how she had to take care of Nadia, how she never had time for her life carrying for her sister rather than finding herself, are you kidding me? Firstly if it was such a burden, why continue with it way past Nadia's 18 yo? Secondly I'm not buying it, in order to be allowed by social services to take care of your sibling you have to be an adult yourself, right? Hence Nadia was hardly a toddler demanding attention 24/7, and Brielle had plenty of time to "find herself" before having to take the responsibility of raising a younger sister.

A wonderful story to end this series. I'm very sad that this series is over, but I hope perhaps it can get an expansion in the future. I just know there are more abducted Terran women out there that can be rescued and find their happy endings. I really enjoyed this book. I loved that all the action revolved around a rescue mission at a village away from the capital city. No evil enemies or alien threats, but rather people coming together to save and help others. It was exciting and suspenseful, but also felt overall more peaceful here in the final book.
I loved this couple together. Brielle and Vrale had a lot in common and similar mindsets. They complimented each other wonderfully. Brielle got on my nerves in the last book being way overprotective and controlling in her desire to protect her sister. But that was from her sister's POV. Here, we are in Brielle's mind, and she is a kind, caring, and determined woman whose nature as a nurturer and her desire to help other people shine through. I was happy she got her own book. Vrale is strong, skilled and well respected. He found his fated mate when he was young, but lost her when she died along with the majority of Kalix's females. He was completely shocked when his soul recognized a second fated mate- Brielle.
Loved this book. Another wonderful read by the talented Presley Hall. Pick this one up! 5 stars.

Fantastic End to the Series!
Briele is struggling to find her place in Kalix, especially since her sister has found her Irisa (fated mate) and has moved out. There isn’t any need for a paralegal there and she just can’t seem to get interested in anything. As more of the Terran women that were rescued and brought to Kalix find their mates, it doesn’t seem that she will have any success in that direction either.
Vrale is the Kalixian Training Master. He is older and thinks that since he had a mate before the virus hit, he will not get another one. So he isn’t even looking. It is unheard of to be blessed with a second mate. He has met Briella and is attracted to her, but won’t pursue a relationship because he knows she is not his mate.
When an earthquake hits a remote part of Kalix, the king is asking for volunteers to go and help the village. Vrale is immediately there to help. He is totally surprised when Brielle also volunteers to go. He is afraid she is not strong enough to be of any help, but she proves him wrong on the very first day.
This is a great book and both characters are very strong willed. It is heartwarming to see them struggle through their differences and finally become friends, and eventually more. I am sad this is the end of this series, but hopefully there might be a spin off series?? Fingers crossed!

Brielle views herself as far too practical to fall in love with an alien warrior like her younger sister Nadia did with Zatir. Now she has the time and focus to try and work out who she is. So when a natural disaster strikes on Kalix she volunteers to go and help with the rescue mission to try and pay back the debt she owns the warriors who rescued them. Vrale is part of the rescue team and even though he is older than many of the other warriors there is something about his quiet and stoic demeanour although he seems hunted from the past and therefore not looking for a mate any more than she is. Will they rescue the survivors and maybe each other too?
I really enjoyed this story which was both lovely, dramatic and sad. I loved the interaction between Brielle and Vrale which was friendly and then a bit more protective and passionate. I loved the way that everyone helped with the natural disaster and that saving lives plus rebuilding were the focus. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content. Sad because it was the last book in the series.

'Possessed' is the eleventh and final book in the Kalixian Warriors book series.
We find out whether Brielle, Nadia's sister, can also find her happiness and purpose.
Brielle seems a bit lost to me at the beginning of the book because she no longer has to take care of Nadia. Nor does she know how to spend her free time. Somehow the roles seem to be reversed now.
Vrale, on the other hand, is a somewhat older warrior who has already found his Irisa but lost her to the plague. I was excited to see if he could get over his guilty feelings when he began to be attracted to Brielle.
But not only our romantic streak is satisfied. The two of them have to endure and survive dangers together.
I really enjoyed reading the book. My favorite scene was when Vrale saw Brielle dancing and was completely blown away. That was written really sweetly and movingly.
All in all, I think the book is a very nice end to the book series.

Possessed
The final story of the Kalixian Warriors. The author has mentioned she may be working on another way to use these characters. I hope so! This story is about Vrale and Brielle. He is a little older warrior who trains the other warriors and the king. Brielle is the older sister of a character we meet in another of the stories. Brielle has been slow to integrate into the group of human females on the planet. But, after her younger sister Nadia mates with Zatir she’s sort of at lose ends. She joins a pole dancing group for one lesson and Vrale sees her there and is fascinated with her moves. They had been sort of “connecting” around the training grounds and thereabouts. The story goes on to a satisfying conclusion . I enjoyed this entire series and recommend it. There are sexual scenes that may offend some readers.

I just want Ms. Hall to know that I honestly really enjoyed every single one of this series's hero/heroine combos. That's unusual for me, and while some are much more my speed than others--there ain't a bad one of them in the lot, and that's friggin' impressive.
I do enjoy that she had the first physically damaged in-sequence hero I've read in an alien novel. And weirdly enough, that made me long for more unusual hero's, such as maybe a blind alien protagonist. Daredevil can't have all the blind cred, he's already busy.
Anyways, weird longings included, my only beef is that no merchants, hunters, etc. fell in love with the human women--seemingly only the warriors had all the luck on planet. Seems like only the most ripped get picked lol.
BUT NAW. THESE BOOKS ARE GREAT, GIVE THEM ALL A WHIRL.

What a lovely end to this series. I wasn't sure how Brielle was going to be as a main character since she was a little hard to like in the previous book but, she turned out to be one of my favorites. She redeemed herself and ended up with such a sweet mate. Vrale really deserved a second chance and I was super pleased he got it. Vrale was one of those peripheral characters that you just wanted to know more about, and who doesn't like a silver fox. With a little more at home Kalix adventure and a sweet story, I really enjoyed this one. Since I myself am not a spring chicken any more, I felt that I also related to Vrale and Brielle a lot and enjoyed how important loving what you have was as a central theme in this book. I look forward to more from Presley.

This was way better than the last one. Thank fuck.
& bummed its atm the end of the series even if its an open ended thing that the author hints at coming back to.
The bonus scenes should just be part of the main book idk the whole seperate from the main book annoys me itd be better if it was all in one or if it was an entire seperate book with all the couples side atories or bonus novellas etc.
I realise i hated the last book because it was also in space and not part of their home world and great society. Like it was claustrophobic af which is ironic cause this one had a genuine reason to feel that way but wasnt it felt like a breath of fresh air them onthe planet and in nature and more idk wild primative styff than space cowboy bs like the last bs.

A great ending to the Fated Mates of the Kalixian Warriors series.
Brielle is looking for where she fits in on Kalix, this new planet. She obviously can't go back to being a paralegal. But after tragedy strikes in the wilderness of Kalix, and a small village is suffering from a natural disaster, she feels like this is her chance to help people again.
Along the way, Vrale gets a second chance at love. He's confused, heartbroken, and excited. Brielle is being drawn to this friendly and attractive warrior, but it's happening so fast and after finding out this is his second chance with a mate, she wondering if she will even compare to his first love.
Sweet story! One of my favorites in the series.

Final entry leaves you wanting more of this series!
The Kalixians saved Brielle and her sister from becoming Orkun brides but Brielle remains skeptical of the mate bond despite seeing it all around her to include her sister. Vrale trains his fellow warriors, convinced that he has all he needs. Neither thinks the mate bond will happen for them so both are stunned when it appears. Their sexual attraction and basic enjoyment of each other's company are simply too strong to resist. They complement each other and work through their issues together. Both are serious so it's nice to see them bring out the lighter side of the other, they're a good match.

I am in love with this series! Every book I keep saying is the best of the series…but I truly feel that it is. 😊 Presley Hall takes you on an adventure filled with romance and intense nail biting scenes! Even though Vrale is a widower, he finds his Irisa for a second time …and it’s Brielle. I love how Hall develops these two characters , how the love grows and deepens. I would hate for this to be the last book in the Kalixian series. Perhaps finding more humans will expand into another series. We can only hope fans!❤️❤️❤️

I wasn't sure I wanted to read Brielle's story when I was reading Nadia's but I am so glad I did. Brielle is such a strong, complex female. I actually related to her need to help and care for others. Vrale is such a wonderful character. I love his gentle soul. I loved everything about this book. I loved the romance. I loved the action. I loved the healing for each of them. The only thing I didn't like is that this is the last Kalixian Warrior book. That makes me sad. What an amazing series written by an amazing author.

Do you know when a book is great? When it's midnight and you can't put it down. And as I enjoy each page and my excitement builds, I sneak a peak at the clock and it's now 2 AM. So, just a little bit more...at 3 AM I close the book to continue later, really need a little sleep. Then today, I waited until the house was quiet so I could savor the Epilogue!
I loved this series and hate to see it end. Brielle was never one of my favorite characters, but in this book I grew to love her strength, caring and appreciation. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I was wondering who Brielle's mate would be and this story confirmed my hunch. They were perfect for each other. Theirs is not as smooth as we thought, though there was danger, their struggle was more of an internal struggle. and the way they came out of it an realized that they can't let the other go, I was so relieved. I loved their love story and I can imagine it clearly when they tell it to their grandchildren.
I'm sad that this is the end of this series but I am looking forward to the adventures of the Kalixian warriors who will be going out into space.

Arielle's sister found her mate, now Arielle is wondering what she is going to do with herself. Going to the open market every day is not cutting it.

This is a great addition to the series. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I hope there is more books to this series.

A beautiful dream of Alien mates
I loved the series. It was well written and gave this reader a hope for a different world to survive and even thrive on. Though it showed Earth people a bad, greedy and immoral race....it's not that far off the mark these days. Who wouldn't want to meet this type of Alien? Beautiful Warriors with honor and integrity? You don't find much of that here on earth. This was an absolutely Great read and I could not stop reading until I got thru all of them! Take a break and enjoy a series you'll feel good about and wish it was true.

Feel Good Romance
I was so happy to see that Brielle finally had her chance for a fated mate bond. This was a heartwarming and sweetly romantic read (with lots of spicy moments🥵). There were a few worrying events that occurred but these only cemented the bonds. I only like to read stories with HEAs and Presley Hall has delivered! I have loved and enjoyed this whole series and will read them again. It was nice to read the bonus scene on Book Funnel as well. I’m hoping for more in the series one day soon, pretty please and thank you! 😍😍😍😍😍

In this final installment of this series, we take part in Brielle and Vrale’s story and it’s a sweet beautiful finish to the Kalixian books.
Brielle was quite lost without her newly mated sister and we get to go on her journey of self-discovery. I loved how these characters were honest with each other throughout the story and fell in love in a honest and respectful way.
As usual, there’s steam and action 🎉👍😁
Happy reading ❤️

Amazing series
This last couple may be one of my favorites. The whole series was an exceptionally entertaining and steamy read. I love these alien warriors and the strong bonds. The adventures they had to overcome along with emotional hurdles made the characters relatable and interesting. They all had very distinct qualities and characters. Thank you writing such a wonderful series. Reviewed by Who She Reads
