Society of Ancient Magic #6
Magic Reclaimed
The Society of Ancient Magic is mysterious, magical, and one hundred percent evil… and their time is up.
It’s all come down to this.
The Society has given up any pretense that they are here for the betterment of our people. They’ve shown the truth that they’re interested in one thing only: The rise of mages with Ancient Power, and the rest be damned. They’ve been a mainstay in our world for almost two hundred years. But now their time is up, and with the help of my men, I’m going to burn it all down…
or die trying.
We’re nearly out of moves in this chess match. The fact that my men are dire wolves is known to all, and the hunters are closing in. The prophecy that hangs over us continues to unfold in unexpected ways, and the Society keeps moving forward with their plans for domination. The lines have been drawn. Everything that matters to me is at risk…
and now it’s personal.
Just as prophecy foretold: It’s time for the Nightbird and her Shadow Walkers to do what we were born to do.

Series Review: 👎
2.5 Sad, Mediocre Stars
Nothing has changed from my review of book one. I regret reading these books.
The relationships are horribly done. The guys are so wrapped up in their own drama they completely ignore any problems their mate faces. Attempted murder? They only care because it might expose their wolves. She was tortured? Eh—more important what she learned from it. She was beaten half to death? Not even interesting enough to get on their radar.
The only time the guys actually care about Joely is when they can get some action from her. And the sex scenes? Bland and boring.
There is no world-building at all. None. I still have no clue what the difference is between the magic races or mage lines. They all seem the same. The magic system was never really described. We know about dire wolves—that’s it.
The character development is garbage. Nobody has any personality whatsoever. The FMC doesn’t have any sort of defined traits—she just remains a simpering, apologizing little blow-up doll.
Each book is the length of a novella, and it feels like a cheap ploy by the author to stretch this series into six “novels.”
There were so many many inconsistencies. One minute we know the FMC’s race and magic color, the next minute the author is saying she’s a different race with a different magic color—then back to the first. These are major editing errors that should have been caught. And that’s only one example of the numerous contradictions littered throughout the series.
At this point, I don’t know if the series just sucks or if the author isn’t very good. Whatever the problem, I know I don’t want to read any of these books again.

Its kind of a let down that the final book was the least enjoyable of the series. I often found myself skimming pages because I was ready to be done with it.

A great ending to a pretty good series
Joely and her men fight to bring the ancient prophecy to an end. Just when they think they can finally put all this behind them, her biological brother, Sebastian, has other plans. Particularly evil plans. He’s going to steal the magic coils from “lesser mages” and put them into more powerful mages in order to imbue them with ancient magic. What makes this despicable? He will end up sacrificing all the lesser mages AND Joely’s men as he needs their dire wolf blood to complete the process.
This was a pretty fast-paced read. No real plot twists in this book, mainly tying up loose ends and bringing the story to a conclusion. Tobias features pretty heavily in this book, although all the men are definitely present. He finally gets his sexy time with Joely, and it snaps all her magic in place. It was really sweet . . . And hot, literally There were a few instances where Joely is kinda dumb, and yeah it was irritating. Thankfully, it wasn’t a lot.
While for the most part, the storyline was wrapped up, there were a few loose ends that I thought the author should have tackled. For instance, what happened to her mother now that her father is dead, and what about Quinn, . I was kind of curious what happened to the other secret society that were their allies in the last book. They just disappeared from sight. I did feel the book suffered a bit for not having an epilogue, however, the author does have one that you get when you sign up for her newsletter. Do it, it was 3 years later and is such a sweet update on their lives, it just made my heart all squishy.
All in all, it was a very satisfying read, and I’m glad this popped up in my Facebook feed as a suggestion. I highly recommend it if you like light, sexy, romantic paranormal romance books.

It is time to end the battle one way or the other. Will our heroine and her men win the day, or are they just another obstacle for the bad guys to roll over?
This is book six of the series and the conclusion. The book does pretty well as a stand alone, I do not recommend starting here. Go back to the beginning first
This is a reverse harem romance story set at a magical academy. The story is well written and easy to read with a well detailed setting that has grown over the course of the series. We have long since moved past the original set expanding the world in fascinating ways. The characters are also well done and diverse, rounding out the story nicely. There are some steamy scenes as well which provide a nice diversion. Overall, I really enjoyed this series and look forward to seeing what our author comes up with next.
Highly recommended.

Interesting
I always like series by this author and this series is no different. It was good. The plot developed quickly. The characters were well developed. The story line was interesting. The only negative thing I have to say about this series is that Joelly didn't really show growth in her magic. Yes, she became more "magical", but she never really practiced and became stronger. She would just suddenly know how to perform some magic and then you would read that one of the guys had practices with her. When? It was just weird. I also don't know why they didn't kill Kate or Eliza when they should have. Why did Eliza get pity? Why did they wait until the end for " justice " to prevail when they had opportunities to take different people out earlier in the game?
However, I still loved the series and definitely think it's worth reading.

Last part in this great series, sorry to say goodbye to it. But nice to know how it ends with Joely and her men.
It isn't an easy way for them, fighting against not only the society of ancient magic, but also the people who want to kill the wolves.
The moment Joely and Tobias get together for the first time is literally so hot. She keeps on discovering new things about herself and the prophecy.
Next to her men, Joely also have some friends left who are on their side.
Don't want to spoil what the end will be, so won't tell much.
But great read full action, passion and some surprises

We finally have Joely and her men's last book and I am sad to see this series end. These five have been through so much in this six book series but they finally get their much needed and deserved HEA in this book. I thought that this book concluded the series very well and tied up some loose strings. I can't wait to dive into what Ms. Fiona has in store for us next. I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it and Ms. Fiona as an awesome author.

Joely and the guys are back in Magic Reclaimed the conclusion to the Society of Ancient Magic series. This book picks up where book five Broken Spells left off and it's time for the final battle against the Society. This is a well written, page turning story with great characters, magic, danger, mystery, suspense, steam, unexpected twists, and a great ending to the series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Joely and the guys take on Sebastian and the rest of Society of Ancient Magic in this final installment. They finally figure out what must happen to bring the prophecy full circle and Joely gets some awesome new powers. It's a great ending to a good series. I volunteered to read this book via Booksprout.

Joely and her men are back for the final Battle against the Society of Ancient Magic. Had to see who would win and how Joely would figure it out. Lots of fun and worth the read as everything has been leading up to this. Had to see how Joely would use the prophecy to win in the end. Entertaining and fun to read.

Society of Ancient Magic
I bought the entire and binged them in 2 days. I was kept on the edge of my seat with all the twist and turns. Her character development is superb and the plot will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page. Be sure to download her epilog as well!!

HEA
I do love a good happily ever after. Bad guys reign over Joely's college and the Society of Ancient Magic. The bad news, her family is involved, both biological and stolen/adopted. The good news, she is not alone. How does one fight darkness? With light. What magical creature produces more light than a Nightbird? Read to find out!
Fun, fast read with magic and intrigue.

Action packed, emotionally thrilling journey filled with intriguing and dangerous charters, witty dialog and heart racing twists. This highly entertaining adventure will have you holding on to the edge of your seat.

All good things must come to an end, so I am sad to say I've read the last book in the series. Goodbye to Joely and her hunky wolf humans, but onwards and upwards to a new series some time in the near future.
December 23, 2021
A happy ending for some pretty great characters. This felt really quick which is why I’m docking it some stars but overall a decent conclusion to a fun and addicting series.
January 1, 2022
This is a very short story. Love the characters, explicit moments and the plot is intriguing. I enjoyed reading this story. Hot, hot, hot and I definitely recommend it.
January 13, 2023
I'm glad I finished the series. This book was definitely better than the last.

Overall, I enjoyed the series and the final book. I was glad to see these characters get their happy ending.
