Welcome to the THIRDS Universe! THIRDS Volume Three includes the following four books:
Smoke & Mirrors
Life for Dexter J. Daley has never been easy, but he’s always found a way to pick himself back up with a smile on his face. Taken from his home, and the arms of his boyfriend and THIRDS partner, Sloane Brodie, Dex finds himself in a situation as mysterious and lethal as the Therian interrogating him. Dex learns what he’s secretly believed all along: his parents’ death wasn’t an accident.
Discovering the whole truth about John and Gina Daley’s homicide sets off a series of events that will change Dex and Sloane’s lives forever. As buried secrets rise to the surface and new truths are revealed, Dex and Sloane’s love for each other is put to the test, with more than their relationship on the line. If traversing the waters of murder and secret government agencies wasn’t enough, something inexplicable has been happening to Dex—and nothing will ever be the same.
Thick & Thin
In a matter of days, Dex has been kidnapped, tortured, killed, revived, become half-Therian, offered the chance to become a spy, and accepted a proposal to marry his jaguar Therian boyfriend, Sloane Brodie. It’s been a lot to take in, and although Dex is still trying to wrap his head around everything that’s happened, he knows he has to move forward. After the events of Smoke & Mirrors, Dex and Sloane find themselves in one of the most frightening situations of all: revealing the truth to their Destructive Delta family. When the dust settles, nothing will ever be the same, and it’s up to Dex to prove that in the face of change, the one thing that will always remain the same is family.
Darkest Hour Before Dawn
THIRDS Team Leader Sebastian Hobbs and Chief Medical Examiner Hudson Colbourn are as much in love now as they were nearly seven years ago when a tragic event on the job destroyed their relationship. The two drift together only to be pulled apart time and time again. When Hudson draws the interest of dangerous enemies, both within and outside the organization, Seb wants nothing more than to protect the man who still means everything to him.
As life-and-death events, an uncertain future, and startling truths draw Hudson and Seb to each other yet again, they must make a choice: trust their love and take strength from what they share, or lose what matters most… for good this time.
Tried & True
When THIRDS agent Dexter J. Daley met Team Leader Sloane Brodie, he couldn’t have imagined how slamming into his new partner—literally—would shake both their worlds. Now four years later, they’ve faced dangers, fought battles both personal and professional… and fallen deeply in love. Now their big moment is finally in sight, and they’re ready to stand up together and make it official. Unfortunately, as the countdown to their big day begins, an enemy declares war on the THIRDS….
With their family in danger, Dex and Sloane are put to the test on how far into darkness they’ll walk to save those they love. As secrets are unearthed, a deadly betrayal is revealed, and Dex and Sloane must call on their Destructive Delta family for one last hurrah to put an end to the secret organization responsible for so much devastation.
Dex and Sloane will have plenty of bullets to dodge on the way to the altar, but with happiness within their grasp, they are determined to get there come hell or high water….

I finally finished the entire series - all 10.5 books. 2,828 pages. Whew! What a wild ride. This review is for the entire series. Overall, fantastic. Book 1 and 7 were my favorites. Not every book in the series is 5 star. Some of it was a bit repetitive and definitely OTT, but that did not take away from the overall enjoyment. I came to this series after reading Gone But Not Forgotten, the first TIN book, which made me want read Dex and Sloane's backstory. I was surprised that TIN had a totally different vibe but maybe I'm misremembering so I'll go back and re-read that one. If you like shifters, crime drama, and MCs with off the chart chemistry, this series is fantastic. Four Kings Security Series Boxed Set is definitely going on my TBR list.
A good wrap up to the series overarching. We also revisit some of the main characters more extensively and visit some more extensively for the first time. I do enjoy the details we accumulate about most of the recurring characters throughout the books which gave more rounded characters that way. For this set of books 📚 4,5* Audiobook: The narration is very consistent and never lacking in the whole set, it kept me engaged throughout 🎧 4,5 Overall 4,25
I got pulled in to the series from the start. I loved all the characters as well as the story. It was a different side of shifters than the usual stories and I found that intriguing. The characters are powerful and multi layered and each one finds his way through turmoil to find their happy ending. I would love to see Wolf’s story. I felt like he was left with unfinished threads to him.
This was a fun read. It has entertaining story lines,good characters,exciting plot with twists,and is full of romance and hot guys. If you’re looking for hot,tough,sexy men falling in lust & love with lots of action in & out of the bedroom,this book is for you!!
These books were each great, although Seb and Hudson’s book was my least favorite. There is a lot of action, especially in book 10! It was bittersweet to see this series and, but I know there are a few more stories to come in this universe, and even more by this author. It is so very easy to believe in their HEA, for sure!
This series has been so amazing I’m not ready for it to end! I just want to jump into this world and live in it leave chaos in my wake along with Dex though my chaos will be intentional whereas Dex doesn’t mean to do it. I can’t wait to read more of this authors work such a hidden treasure! You’ll never guess who the mastermind villain is!
I was completely invested in these characters from book 1. Likable characters, action, suspense, love, shenanigans, heroes and villains, this series has it all! I will definitely read it again. Looking forward to the spinoff series.
The Thirds series is amazing, filled with unexpected chaos, misunderstandings, and hybrids with hearts of gold and a love for each other that knows no bounds!
What an amazing end to what is the best series ever!! Absolutely love these guys and I can't wait to dig into the TIN series to find out what kind of trouble Dex gets into!!!
This series is brilliant, funny, sexy, heartfelt, thought provoking. Definitely worth your time reading Dex is hysterical, Slone loves him, he brings him his light, the Delta Destruction team is awesome. Always want more.
