Year Three: Heroes

Grim Reaper Academy: Legacies #3

by Cara Wylde

I am trapped in Hell by a demon that seems to be more powerful than Satan himself. A prisoner in a nightmarish castle where I get lost in eerie mazes for days, while my baby grows inside me… I'm running out of time, but I cannot escape, so I have to strike a bargain with my captor. But what he wants from me is too much. I cannot give it to him and live with myself after.

I wish Adrian, Seth, and Davien would rescue me now. But this devil… this monster that calls himself the King in Yellow keeps them away. No one can penetrate his ancient magic. He’s more than he seems, more than he says. The only way I can return to my lovers and finish the job I started is to pass his trials and accept his proposal. I knew there would be a price to pay. I just never imagined it would be so… crushing.

About the author

Cara Wylde loves to write about strong, feisty women and their hot Alphas who will do anything to make them happy. Her books are filled with romance and just a dash of mystery, suspense, and that eerie atmosphere she fell in love with reading too many gothic novels. With a master's degree in Comparative Literature, she can't help but play with tropes and themes from various genres, trying to come up with fresh perspectives on the paranormal characters her readers love so much. Vampires, shape-shifters, demons, witches... Cara will always make sure they get their own twists.

When she's not writing, Cara is reading, planning her next story, or daydreaming. Her idea of pure heaven is a day filled with nothing but her laptop, a huge coffee pot, relaxing music, and a new, exciting project.

Could anything else happen, Yoli is amazing.

Yoli has been on a roller coaster ride ever since her enrollment at the academy. She has killed Morningstar, learned how to dream jump, lived over 200 years and had an stellar writing career, got her letter of acceptance to the academy and survived for 2 years. Now she is determined to banish the Great Old Ones but finding their universe has proved dangerous, she loses herself and almost her sanity. Locked up and insane asylum for supernaturals and drugged up beyond all recognition, Yoli has to figure out not only who she is but how she got here and how she's going to get out. With the help of Adrian, Seth and Davien she escapes and now it's time to get on with what she started. She has to make a deal with the demon in order to obtain one of the ingredients that she needs for the banishment spell and what it cost her might just be too great for her to handle. After all this will the spell go off without a hitch? Will she be able to save those she loves and what will happen to those affected by the banishment?
Wylde really knows how to engage the reader so you are invested in the outcome of the characters. This was a great ending to the series and definitely leaves you wanting more. I hope the series continues so we can find out what happens to Eliana. This series, just like the one before, is a true page turner. I can't wait for the next one.

Yolanda followed the being who referred to himself as the King in Yellow into hell. It's too late when she realizes it's a trap, and then she loses consciousness. When she finally awakens month later she is told she must pass the kings trials, she's willing to do anything to return to her life and her men, but then she finds out the price she must pay.
Wonderfully well written and fascinating characters. They're all compelling, and I think unique. Some action, and a little suspense with unexpected and surprising twists in the plot that made it impossible to put this book down. I think this is a must read book, and series.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Awesome finale!!

I loved this finale to this series... lots of things are explained, battles are fought, romance is prominent, there's a scary bit sad moment, and of course you have the "evil" guy aka King in Yellow.

This book really sets the stage for another series with El and her future, and I think that would just be amazing. I'm glad that everything worked out the way Yoli intended it to be.

I have really enjoyed this whole series and this book really was a great closer (lol unless another set for El comes out!) And definitely recommend it!

I recieved an ARC for my honest review.

Year three Heroes is the conclusion of this series and it was a bit of a book of two halves for me. Yolanda (Yoli) and the whole head trip she goes through im hell. Being at the mercy of the Yellow King and his set of games/tasks. Only her and El have each other to rely on. I dont want to give out much of the plot but back at Grim Reaper Academy the repercussions of what happened in hell that come to a head with her and her mates - Adrian, Seth and Davian. Some loose ends were tied up but some were left open for future books i think. Still i really enjoyed reading this series as much as the series before. A great ending

Eliana

Year Three: Heroes is book three in the series Grim Reaper Academy Legacies by author Cara Wylde. Ok so WOW!! Deals must be made for better or worse. Sometimes the a deal with a demon is the only thing you can do.
This story things get a bit dark or I should say darker. Yet this in the end just maybe they’ll end up on the right side.
So those of you who actually read my reviews know I have this thing for cliffhangers - well this is the cliffhanger of cliffhangers - we just have to wait for the next series in this epic tales of the Grim Reapers.
Enjoy!!

I’m loving this series and this is book 3 in the Grim Reaper Academy Legacies and I hope that there’s going to be more. Yolanda is a captive of King Yellow he won’t let her go unless she accepts his proposal and finishes the trials, meanwhile her guys can’t reach her because his magic is too strong so what will Yolanda do now?. This is an exciting story with plenty of action, adventure, suspense, danger, drama, twists and turns, passion and so much more to keep you entertained and turning the pages, I loved this story/ series and I highly recommend this book.

Year 3 of the Legacies series couldn’t have brought it to an end better than it did. Yoli made the decision to follow the Yellow King to the deepest parts of hell, and found it was a trap. With the challenges of escaping, being with child, and determination to end what she began life for her and her men is a slippery slope of what’s next.
As always Cara writes in a way to keep you engaged and desiring more. It’s easy to fall into the pages and totally emerge yourself into the story line. I will anticipate what is next from this author, as she has yet to disappoint!

This is book three in the Grim Reaper Academy Legacies series and it is action packed. Yoli is trapped by King Yellow and he's demanding she pass a series of trials. The guys are trying to save her but King Yellow is in their way. There's a lot going on in this book but the ending is great and sets up for the next great series and I can't wait to read it. The writing is well done, the characters are interesting and the storyline is intriguing. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

I loved this book and how it wrapped up the series. I would love to see more set in this world after El grows up. It was interesting and I immediately felt like I was right back there. Yig got what was coming to him and it should be interesting to see what happened to all of his followers.

Yoli is trapped and has to pass a series of trails for the King in Yellow. The guys are desperate to save her, but can they and will they be in time. This is a great ending to this series and I enjoyed every minute. I loved the ending and am hoping that maybe we get a series for El and her future someday.

WONDERFULLY WRITTEN

I absolutely loved this book. It brought the story together so perfectly. There were so many obstacles throughout the story but it blended well and ended amazingly.

Fantastic third book. Plenty of action and lots of thrilling time. The characters are certainly changing throughout. What possibly could happen
