Silly Sealed Fates

Pixie Pink #3

by D.N. Hoxa

Why am I pink?

I've always wondered. I've always asked. I've checked every file in the ODP archives, too, but nobody could ever give me an answer.

Until I meet three high fae who seem to know everything about me simply by looking at the color of my hair. They mock me, humiliate me, and I can do nothing but take it.

And that's not even my only concern. Derek Dane is gone, and Dominic needs my help to find him. Having to play bait again isn't something I look forward to. Sleeping under the same roof with him, on the same floor, is going to test both of us again, and we were never good with keeping our hands off each other when we're that close. But it's my fault the brothers are in this situation. I have to make it right.

Nothing goes as it's supposed to, and before I know it, I find myself back home with my family, more alone than ever before. More secrets come to light and I'm told my fate is sealed. I'm supposed to live my life a certain way, become who I was meant to be.

But whoever designed that fate for me didn't know me at all. I might be tiny and pink, but I'll be damned if I let anyone tell me how to live my life. I will fight back with everything I have, even access powers so vile they make me sick. And I will do absolutely anything to protect the people that I love.

I'm struggling because I'm partly glad it's over and partly really mad at the conclusion.

This whole thing wrapped up so fast it doesn't even seem right. There were different side plots in the previous books, and you expect me to believe and enjoy how this one wraps them up in a nice neat bow and sets it aside for most of the book before handing it over, nice and easy?

At least the romance wasn't as messy, but I genuinely 100% could have lived my whole life without the awkward love triangle between Teddy, Dominic, and DOMINIC'S BROTHER. No, I still don't understand and I never will.

Better than the second, worse than the first.

So, I really liked the first two books, but this one ends the series with nothing resolved?!? Terrible ending!

[Veronica LaRoche · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another great read that had me hooked. I absolutely can’t get enough of Dom & Teddy. My heart hurts for Derek. You can’t help but feel bad for Derek. I really enjoyed this book and characters. Truly a great read with characters that everyone won’t forget.

I was almost tempted to drop this book about 1 chapter in because the mmc absolutely infuriated me.
It took this bloke having his brother fall for his girl the big flippin clue to not be so fickle! I almost threw my kindle out the window. And the hot/cold push/pull didn't end there! The poor girl had to get almost kidnapped by his brother and had to leave out of town suddenly for him to recognize his feelings.
I'm glad a lot of the questions I had that were unanswered were finally answered in this installment.
Here are my reasons for not giving this a higher rating:
- is it just me, or are the books through Kindle more often than not very poorly edited? Especially the booktok ones! I recognize that there may be some errors that are reasonable to be missed, but if I have to flag more than 3 content errors I just feel....meh.
I feel like the fated mates illusion hinted in the last book really took a tailspin in this one. In the second book Pixies Might Like Claws it was hinted that Domonic and Teddy may be fated mates of sorts. In this book Hoxa threw in a love triangle where apparently the fated mate was with the brother??? I felt like the first book had so much potential but there was a lot of melodrama that I didn't feel served much purpose.
- no surprise here, the fmc turned out to be an absolute marysu. The 'hidden power' and 'chosen one' trope feels...underwhelming.

This was the weakest of all the books.

This had criminal typos like fgrow instead of grow and ‘s’ randomly on the end of words. I doubt one single person even the author read the final draft before publishing. If you don’t want to spring for an editor at least reread it yourself damn.

As others have mentioned I didn’t like the direction of Derek’s character or the motivations foisted on him.
Also events/motivations of FMC concerning her powers made no sense whatsoever. Even tho in previous books she had used powers to save her man’s life now she was all “I’ll just never use my powers in my life”. I’m sorry but if you’re in hella danger and the powers would directly enable you to protect yourself how does any logic train end at “I’ll be safe if I don’t use my powers”. Furthermore for a character that tried to steel herself to be strong adamantly refusing a natural gift makes no sense from a characterization standpoint.

And MMC? Who went to the ends of the whole earth and balls deep in a drug addiction to avoid prioritizing a relationship with FMC decided with little to no preamble or reason to do a 180 and he was all for a relationship. Overnight. No introspection. No events different than previous events to instigate change (like her life being in danger). For no reason.

This series was good and I loved the mystical aspects in this book. I love Teddy and Dominic they were cute, definitely had their moments, but worth it. I really liked the first book but the second one fell a little flat when it came to their relationship. This one made me slightly uncomfortable with “the whole Derek problem” I feel like that was such an unnecessary plot point. And every time it came up I kinda wanted to skip over it.

One thing that also annoying me were her friends. I didn’t like them very much. They always picked on her, made her feel uncomfortable, didn’t take some of her feelings into consideration and they didn’t listen when she was trying to tell them things always talking over her. Then there was her family that even though they said the didn’t mind her being a “pink pixie” their action said otherwise. They just felt backhanded in some of the things they said but she never took it like that but it was clearly meant like that.

Teddy has always wondered about her coloring, she’s pink! When three high fae arrive at the OPD to interrogate prisoners, they are very interested in her and her magic, so she tries to learn everything she can about pink pixies with very little luck. While her relationship with Dominic finally moves forward, Derek, his brother, seems to have developed an unhealthy obsession for Teddy.
I loved these characters, even the “bad guys” are well written and unique. I particularly enjoyed the romance between Teddy and Dominic. I loved the way they interacted and the ups and downs in their relationship. Action, steam, murder, betrayal, and some unexpected twists in the plot. I couldn’t put this book down. I think this is a fantastic conclusion to a must-read series, and I highly recommend these books.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

3.5/5⭐️

So I didn’t know this was the final Pixie Pink book until I was more than halfway through, but holy shit! The closer I got to the end the more panicked I was—“they’ve got 70…40….32…20 pages left to fix this!” Teddy and Dominic are my OTP for this series for sure and I’m so happy with how the story ended. The only reason I couldn’t make it a 5/5⭐️ is that I still have so many unanswered questions and there are so many things in the end that look like it should have continued with a couple more books. Even so, I definitely recommend Pixie Pink if you’re looking for a fast paced story with so much sexual tension and a strong FMC.

Enjoyable read!

Very enjoyable read! I personally don’t do love triangles but it wasn’t a deal breaker. Loved Teddys and Dominic’s chemistry. Didn’t care much for the brother he seemed very immature, I hope he finds his path. Teddys friends were ok, too pushy for my taste but entertaining. Same with Teddy’s mom. I felt like yelling at my screen for everyone to back off lol. No wonder she has anxiety, geez. The story flowed nicely. Loved the world build. I wonder if there will be another book since the ending seems like it could. D.N Hoxa did an amazing job! ❤️ now on to the next in the Hoxa universe.

[Christinaraven · Rating 5 out of 5]

My favorite pixie and wolves are back for more danger and adventure as they all have to deal with how the last book ended. Can Derrick be found and be sane, what is going on with the High Fae and then there is the secrets about the pink pixies. Easy to read and get sucked into the story. I found it so hard to put down as secrets are revealed left and right and poor Teddy suck in the middle of it all. Breath held until the end to see how it would all work out and who would be alive at the end. And cannot forget all the fun and scary characters and what else is going on beside the personal.

[Richard Goodrum · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent ending to the series. Teddy (Pink) de Ver helped Derek get his wolf back. More guilt for her to bear. When the high fae who own the ODP interrogate those previously captured, Teddy gets a hint about the nature of pink pixies (you'll have to read the story to learn what that was). The story includes an expensive trip home to Everer which happens to be the best part of the story from my perspective. The ending is good: not quite a HEA, but good nonetheless.

Action-packed. Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Romantic. Scary. Steamy. Tragic. Twisted. Unpredictable. Whimsical. Wonderful characters.

I received a review copy of this book from a third party. This is my honest review.

[Tracey Trask · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed the third installment of the Pixie Pink series. Teddy's character development really made her blossom in this book. We also discover WHY she is pink!!

It is a fast paced story, and didn't seem like there would be enough room at the end to wrap it up, but as always DN Hoxa hit it out of the park. I do wish we learned more about Derek. I was left with too much angst over him... but that is another story for another day.

It was great to see the relationship develop between Teddy and Dom. It got tied up nicely at the end. This was a great series overall.

I received an ARC of this story and this is my honest review.

[Delacey · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed the third and final installment of the Pixie Pink series. We saw further character development for Teddy, and she learns why she is pink! The story as fast paced and had me glued to my reader. While the romance seemed to end as a HEA, there were some loose ends - one that would be great as another series, the other one left wondering if there was more to the story given what we learn about sealed fates. Overall, a very enjoyable story and series end. *I received an ARC of this book and this is my voluntary and honest review.

[Nomad · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book one hooked me...book 2 string me along and this, book three made me into a tornado of emotions! The action in these books! It's like if your favorite cop TV show was in a fantasy book, but centered on Earth! The action is jam packed in this book, way more than the other two. Then there is the longing...the emotional damage! And let's not forget the spicy treehouse scene! 🥵

While I am thankful to finally not be left on a cliffhanger, this book leaves me wanting more stories from this world. Like Dominic, I'm now an addict and I crave more

[April Mollenkopf · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is the last book for Dom and Teddy, but the ending kind of left it open for Derek’s story, fingers crossed!

We learn a lot in this book - why Teddy is pink, who the high Fae is that was involved in the death of Dom and Derek’s parents and so many little things. So sad to see this series end (love Dom and Teddy) but the author provided the perfect HEA for them.

Wow, this ending really surprised me. I feel that it ended the way that it was always supposed to. One tough Pixie and a Werewolf, are a match well made. No spoilers from me , read it for yourself, awesome ending to a wonderful series! I Loved It!!!
I received an ARC from the Author and I am Leaving this Totally Honest Review because I choose to and Love the way it ends!!!

[Debbie Eyre · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this series and I absolutely adore our pink pixie Teddy! This final book is action packed and full of danger and once again Teddy can be found in the thick of it all. Exciting, entertaining, this has betrayal, murder, secrets and some twists and surprises that I did not see coming. It’s a fantastic read with fantastic characters and the author has done a fantastic job with the conclusion!

[Amanda Moore · Rating 5 out of 5]

a must read!!!

Why is this the last book???? There is so much more to tell! This series was great. I felt the characters were wonderful. I really loved how Derek was made out to be when he was a bit crazy with his head injury pre wolf. It was exactly what I would think someone with a TBI would act like in that situation. Loved every book.

[O’rion Risher · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit disappointed here. Loved the first two books, but this third one just left me… blah. The last 25% just went by so quickly and just didn’t feel like the deserved ending to the story. The first 75% was really great! And it felt like there could’ve been another book to stretch out that 25% that was mediocre and make it perfect.

[Desirae Sanko · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed this short trilogy. Theodora and Dominic are a good match. I thiiiink I liked the plot of the MC not choosing the fated mate character. I grew to love quirky Derek though. The end Derek and Teddy scene?! It had me wondering who I actually wanted her with…. Maybe that was the point. An all around decent quick read.

[Ellie J · Rating 2 out of 5]

I couldn’t bring myself to finish this book. it just got so boring and repetitive. I think if I hadn’t had to go through the second book then I would have been able to finish this one. This one actually seems a lot better then the second book but at this point i’ve just had enough of these characters.

[Pertan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really liked the series, but it had too many loose ends to get more stars. And I really don’t understand the trope with the brother, it came out of left field and wasn’t properly explored nor concluded… And why did he make the deal with Aeries, and why bring Dom to the meeting, and why not tell Dom about what to expect?

There needs to be another book or an extra epilogue…

[Brittany · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this series so much! I am extremely sad it's over, and I feel like more could've been done with the ending here. I wanted to give it four stars, but that's just because I'm not ready for it to be over and has nothing to do with the actually story. It was great! I need more Dom and Teddy though.

[Julian Escobar · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was given an ARC of Silly Sealed Fates and I’m freely writing this review.

I’m so happy to see the HEA for Dominick and Teddy! This book was fast paced and kept me on the edge of my seat, especially the last 1/4! Very enjoyable.

[Tanya · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dominic and his Teddybear

I really loved this series. I loved watching Teddy grow into herself and find her place. I'm really hoping there's a spin-off of this series because I'm not ready to let it go 😫

[Dana · Rating 3 out of 5]

letdown

I wanted more from this book. Everything just seemed to tie together too well. While satisfying I didn’t feel like there was a twist or tension or anything to make this conclusion memorable

[Jenni · Rating 2 out of 5]

Am I the only one who thinks Teddy should have been with Derek? Dominic pushed Teddy away the WHOLE time and every time Derek was there for her. Not only that but there was so much that was unresolved. What a MESS!

[Cleocutie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Teddy is back and maybe finally going to get some answers as to why she is pink. The story moves along nicely and I love the way it ends.

[Michelle VanDaley · Rating 5 out of 5]

I fantastic ending to a thrilling series. This epic conclusion did not disappoint - suspense filled, action packed and twists I didnt see coming. I look forward to more by this author

[Angel Howland | 24 | · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was a good read. Its had an ending I was happy with. A few unanswered questions, but nothing to bad. Spicy and enjoyable
