Her Desired Alphas Fated #5 By Jessica Hall Narrated by Logan Anare, Ramona Master, Shiloh James, Ryan Lee Dunlap, Gunnar Qualen, Jenna St Claire
A chance to see the kids grown! I love this series and happy to see it continue to the next generation. Marabella, Jonah and Kyan now grown are in the limelight. Bella and Jonah have incredible chemistry, but are they fated mates? Carrying the secret of her darkness is not easy, and now knowing her mate is Kyan, and he doesn't want her has left her in a bad place. What she finds though is she isn't the only one that has secrets, and when the all is realized, chaos is about to erupt. Plus, the feelings that are coming through! It's explosive on all counts, and as Bella learns, sometimes the heart can coose more than one to love. Jessica Hall has filled this book with all the characters I love from Sage and Andrei, to Katya, Ezra and Matteo. And I can't forget Kora and Kaif! Those wolves are the heart of the book! I loved this first installment, but hated the cliffhanger. I needed more! Can't wait for the next of their story.
An all star cast narrates this book, in duet! It's easy to know who is speaking, and the casting for each character is spot on! Hearing a voice, I knew exactly who the person was, as it matched their presonality with the nuances and inflections. Logan Anare, Ramona Master, Shiloh James, Ryan Lee Dunlap, Gunnar Qualen and Jenna St Claire have created a world to escape into and enjoy.
I’m sorry but this author is fraud! How can you call yourself an author when you stole the concept of the author who created The Vampire Diaries! The Gemini Twin concept was first introduced in season 6 episode 8 goes into full detail of it and it is also the basis for the spin off series Legacies with Josie and Lizzy! Yeah I’ll bet she didn’t think that anyone would catch that part. I love how on the novel apps she claims that she’s originally the creator of this concept and is always bashing others for their work being similar to hers but, she must have really missed the part she herself is unoriginal! Makes you wonder who else’s ideas she stole! I won’t be reading anything further from this person!
Book was good. My only real complaint, which is why it lost two stars, was that it ended abruptly without resolving anything! Apparently you need to buy the next book in the series to find out the end. I’m sorry but that screams Wattpad… very unprofessional. Also the author told the main character the secret on the day she discovered they were fated. But immediately following she doesn’t know. Really!?! Now that can be explained away WAY later in the book but then it would have been pointless to tell her to begin with as his threat (which is what he was doing when he told her) only works if she knows the secret. Stupid.
This was not a great book. A lot of this book could have been skipped by some simple communication between parents and children.
I purchased a trade paperback of this book, and I completely blown away by the amount of mistakes. The amount of miss used words, grammar, punctuation, and completely missing words and grammar, makes me wonder how all these mistakes got past the proofreader, or if there was one to begin with.
Also do not expect much from the ending. I will read the next book just to find out what happens in the series. Not expecting much from the next book.
This is book #5 in the series. In this book Marabellas goes to live with Kyan and Jonah, she discovers more secrets from Kyan m, his Lucan wolf, the shadow curses and Juan accepts Jonah as mara’s mate. The books end in a cliffhanger when Rose has discover the secret about her mate and runs away. Jonah, his family, Casen and mara’s family joins the search. Marabella and Kayan stayed behind since she against fights with her mother. There is a sex scene with Kayan and mara and he marks him.

I love this series, but I don’t know how I feel about this particular book. I don’t like slow burn so it took me a while to want to finish it. When I finally got past the slow burn and into the more interesting bits, I couldn’t put it down. Just had to pause a couple of times due to other things. Still a good series though!
Loving this series! Kora, that little hussy, has always been one of my favs ever since Kat got her. I'm glad to know her ways still haven't changed. & Jonah POV absolutely loved he had me cracking up describing Kaif.
It was really good but their was a lot of back and forth going on. I also kind of got annoyed with Mara sometimes but I still really enjoyed the first book in their story.
As the story continues it just seems to get better and better. Love this next set of issues and how things seem to be revealed for a much better understanding of the whole picture. My mind is swirling with all the various possibilities. On to the next in the series!!!
This entire series kept me busy for a week. I was in love with the entire story and since its been a while since i read all of them all of the books turned into one big one in my head. So ill give them all the same rating
I cannot get enough of this series! This book was as amazing as the others and I love that this book is telling Marabella's story. I couldn't put it down!! I love the new characters and am happy that there are still plenty of the original characters in it!! 😍😍😍🥰🥰
Very accurate description of how depression feels like...and the isolation that can lead to it. But the background story seems very scattered at moments, told in bits and parts.
I really liked Maras POV. It's conflicted and sad with some serious messed up parts. I I'm just glad she has always had someone with her to help her through all those dark thoughts. Totally an unexpected hero and one I did not see coming. Oh and Jonah he is just too perfect, i love it. Definitely the light to her darkness.
Lots of powerful players in this book which lead to some cool action scenes but I am super confused on where the book ended. Felt kinda random like mid convo. Liking the characters a lot though, complex and well described
This is one of my favorite series! Jessica Hall is an amazing writer, drags me right into the story! This is one of my favorite series and Marabella and her guys’ story is my favorite part of it!
