Loved the final book. Just wished that there was a time jump/extended epilogue. Charlie is one of my favourite FMC

*FLAIL* Thiiiiiisssss…. Perfection! Epic conclusion to an amazing series. Charlie and her men are HOT, HOT, HOT! With just a touch of the previous twisty turnies, lots of delicious sexy times, a touch of angst, just enough of a mind fuck to make me question my faith in the one man I’ve steadfastly believed in. And the action!!! (In and out of the sack! 😏) Everything was just exactly right. It’s a bittersweet moment, I’m so glad Charlie got her HEA, but I’m so sad to see them go. 🥺 Maybe the Ice Queen needs to tell her story next! 💜

Grand Finale
The Paths was a rollercoaster ride that I didn't want to end, but sadly all good books must end eventually. The Paths picks up where the last book ended. The main characters have discovered that the enemy has been hiding under their noses their whole time, but taking him down will be harder than expected when they're framed for a horrible betrayal. The Paths features all the action, intrigue, and steamy-ness that I loved in the previous books, and I won't spoil the ending, but I was satisfied by the way the author wrapped up the series. For all those readers waiting for the series to be complete before diving in, what are you waiting for? It's time to binge read!

Great ending
I absolutely loved the unique concepts that this author seamlessly melded together. The entire series was so much fun to read since it was unlike anything I had read before. Secret societies, elite government organizations, Atlantis, with a hefty dose of supernatural twists.
The excitement throughout the entire series kept me on the edge of my seat to see what would happen next. The drama and action seemed to have progressively built up with each book. Plus the sexy steam was great to break up the dramatic plot when things seem to get too heavy. And I finally got to read about Char riding the Ridley train 😉 oh I loved that character since book 1!!
I did feel as if certain events were somewhat rushed or lacked detailed depictions. Like the death of Hound, I know he wasn’t a character we had followed for long but I still expected more from the team’s reaction standpoint. Like how they coped with the aftermath and their feelings I guess. I also expected to have more precise details about what happened when Ridley was with Alexander at the end, all we got was something along the lines of he recounted his time when he was with him for 3 days and sometimes the memories were too much. I need details and what he was thinking plus I think the reader and Charlie needed that reassurance that he truly didn’t betray the team even though words and actions might have hinted otherwise at the time. It just left a bad taste in my mouth for Ridley as a character.

Wow, this series has been such a breath of fresh air, the premise so unlike other RH series out there. This book took us through so much, romance and heartache as well as an epic showdown between Charlie and Occam. This book definitely gave us a conclusion with these characters, although I would love to see what the future holds for them. I also would love to see more story with Katya, that girl needs some love in her life!! I would definitely recommend this completed series to others, you won't be disappointed!

This is the perfect ending to a thoroughly incredible story. The entire story is unique and original, it grabbed me from the beginning of the first book and never let go. I'm sorry to see Charlie and her men go, but I so enjoyed getting to know them. Utterly heartbreaking, utterly beautiful and hopeful, simply perfection. So much love in this chosen family, and so much heat, on top of a thrilling, action packed story. I can't say enough good things about this book and series, do yourself a favor and read the whole thing.

It’s bittersweet when you end a really good series, but man was this one worth it!! I love this world Chloe has built, and I LOVE Charlie and her men! We got to see so much final growth of her relationships. Plenty of delicious 🔥🔥🔥as usual and OMG Wyatt 🤤

Great ending and sad to say goodbye
I've loved Charlie from book 1 and I hoped she would get the HEA she deserved with her guys. I'm pleased to say the Chloe came through with all of the guys and Charlie. This was a fight to the end but it was a nice wrap up. By the end I went from having faves among the guys to adoring all of them - Charlie is one lucky lady. If you haven't started the series I highly recommend you do.

Fantastic ending to a great series
This has been one of my favorite series I've read in awhile. It had everything I look for in a great romance. Mystery, action, in-depth plot and of course lots of sexy times. I wasn't sure if I could be Team Ridley, but Chloe changed my mind. Still have one lingering question about Ridley at the end, but I don't think I want to know the answer. Overall, beautifully done!

Can I be Charlie too please
This is an absolutely amazing series! Following Charlie as she learns about the Ethos society and all that comes with it was such a journey. She is the perfect blend of badass and 'normal' to give a character that feels real and believable.
The plot engaged me right from the start and I did not see the Occam reveal coming.
The Russo twins will always be my favourite - we all want a twin sandwich.
5 stars!

Good read
It was engaging, good pacing, good character development, though sometimes the growth was a little too fast to me, and very few editing issues. There were a few struggles that were glossed over, to keep the books from getting too long is my guess, that I think could have and maybe should have been shown, but I understand why the author chose not to. So was it perfect, no, but was it worth the read and worth a recommendation to others to read, absolutely.

Epic Ending of a Epic Series
This is a must read in the final book of the Ethos Society series. I devoured this book in an afternoon. I couldn't put it down. Pizza was ordered for dinner kind of unable to put down. The twists and turns keep you guessing right up to the end. And the spice level is astronomical. 🔥🔥 You gotta read this book.

July 7, 2022Not bad….read the whole series pretty fast so that’s good. One inconsistency that nagged at me a bit like how Catania became Catalina. We had magic/high-tech, one POV, a slow building harem of five guys, suspense, losses, soldier setup, found family and some fights. Oooh I had forgotten there are twins in the harem, which if I had known I may not have read the series. Would recommend….

I’m sad it’s over lol
I seriously enjoyed every bit of this series! The writing kept me hooked the entire time! I loved the storyline of Atlantis. Everything was wrapped up very nicely with this book but I’m still sad it’s over! I loved these characters! Thank you Chloe for making such a cool world to escape to. 😊

The last book in the series. A group is more isolated then ever, a mole making sure they are always one step behind. New powers are explored that could give them the edge they need in a race against the clock. Satisfying conclusion to the series!

Great read
This series is well written and has a unique story. I thought this book would be an epic conclusion, but it was a little flat for me. The emotion in certain parts just didn't come off the page right. Overall it was a good read.

Char and her men find out how the information got out. Unfortunately we lost some people. The group has to deal with this and come up with a plan. Ethos thinks Char and her guys are behind every thing. Char and the guys are able to clear their names as well as take out the one responsible.

great ending
Great ending to a fabulous series. It took everything they’d got to get there and there were a lot of losses along the way.

I love this series. Finding stories that are different and good is difficult. Strong and MATURE FMC are hard to find. Too much of the time I'm smh at stupid. Not in this series. I love Charlie, I love her men. I am satisfied with how the series concluded. I wish we could have seen them 10 years later but it really didn't curtail my enjoyment of the story.
