Rise of the Alpha #3
Changed
I was happy. I had finally won–the past was behind me, my enemies dead, and my mate at my side as we jointly ruled our pack. Or so I thought.
Being Alpha isn’t easy, and bad blood lingers between our elders. Fights and distrust hover like unwanted pests, our pack a tinderbox set to explode with only a single spark.
To make matters worse, loose ends with the vampires threaten our safety, and that last thing I want is more dead cubs. I’d kill every vampire in the west if that’s what it would take, but it seems there’s something bigger at play, pulling the strings for all supernaturals. I promised my pack peace, and I’d do anything to give it to them–even if it cost me my own life.
Perfect for fans of Jaymin Eve, Kelly St. Clare, Leia Stone, Linsey Hall, and other PNR Indie Author Goddesses. If you enjoy sexy alpha-holes and a headstrong heroine, with humor, steam, and action, this is for you! Recommended for 18+ due to explicit scenes and language.

The series ends with some plot twists I did not see coming. It's awful. Some parts are just too much. Nothing goes their way. You just want them to be happy and be able to build up the pack but they can't and it's killing me. That what's makes this book really good.
The first half was a bit slow. Probably because they didn't struggle as much. Until that necklace surface nothing important truly occurs. I love that chain and the fact that Bailey got one in the first book as well.
I love an adventure but I'm not too fond of the urban and modern world. Those white sterile rooms doesn't quite do it for me.
I still love their inner wolf and how they have to learn to deal with their emotions. Love that. The ending however, I'm not too happy with it. I agree with my sister, an epilogue would have been great.

The last book in this series! This was also a bit slow in the beginning but the last 50% was good! I figured who the Bankroller was when the split of the pack story was told. But to read about how wicked he was - i didnt see that coming!
This one also gets 3,5 stars. There was a part in the book that made me want to DNF this book (I really dont like to read about wrong hole stuff so that made this book really bad for me).
The ending felt like a cliffhanger - what will happen?
An epiloge about that would have been nice!

Please note there are triggers *abuse*,*torture*,*violence*,*kidnapping*
A fitting and exciting conclusion to the series! It was a thrill a minute, literally! So tense, events sweeping from one disastrous event to the next, it felt like being on a rollercoaster with no means of getting off! I was on a high, finally being released at the end of the book, as the adrenaline eased back, a a cheesy grin spread over my face.
Being an Alpha is tough! Not only does an Alpha have the responsibility of looking after the needs of their pack, the need to protect them, a newby Alpha, like Bailey, has Alpha rage to contend with too, irrational and hard to suppress. On top of all that, Vampires are still targeting the Wolves, the question is why... the true culprit is not who they thought and suspicious is the order of the day.
A dreadful act and a horrific secret comes out and the pieces suddenly fell into place! An uneasy understanding ensues but suspicion of motives is hard to overcome. Vampires, Wolves and even Witches enter into the mix for some really explosive scenes. Amber was an interesting surprise, loved her supposed nonchalant attitude, hell, I loved her attitude full stop!
The Yosemite wolves and the Yellowstone wolves are struggling to integrate, the females are still fearful of any males but it's heartening to see how resilient and determined the females are to be stronger.
I really really like Bex! Talk about a 360 turnaround! Amazing, supportive and encouraging, so great. Just goes to show, given the right circumstances, support and info, redemption is possible.
Just when I thought, ok, they've got this, they now know the Vampires aren't entirely to blame, a snowballing eruption of events, occurring one after the other was totally unexpected! With a twist or two or three.... Superb!

Derrek and Bailey
This was a good wrap up to the trilogy, I will admit Bailey drove me a bit nuts in the beggining of this book with her whole I am Alpha here me roar mentality but glad she realized that having another Alpha to rely on didn't make her weak it was all about balance.
They thought uniting the packs would be their biggest trial after defeating Travis but with taking over the Yosmite pack so with it came the deal with the vampires a deal which they learnt the vampires had no control over they were as much victims as the packs and they all answered to a faceless enemy by the name of the bankroller. They knew his name but few knew his face or what his end game was. When Derrek was tricked into wearing a spelled amulet it took control of him forcing him to want to kill his mate. He took off in search of answers to their own witchy allies but what he uncovered was more unanswered questions.
Trusting in the Betas to do right by the packs he's taken against his will into the clutches of the enemy where he comes face to face with multiple people wanting to rid the world of supernaturals some of them being one themselves. In the end it'll come down to who has the stronger will to survive bcoz supernatural or not eveyone will fight for their freedom.

A fantastic end to the series! Spoiler-free review.
Wow. This book. Following on from the ramifications of the last book, we get to see how wolf packs are run with some fantastic worldbuilding. The action picks up quickly, culminating in a twist I didn't see coming but could see the breadcrumbs all along through books 1 and 2 - amazing!
At the same time, there are issues I could really relate to as a professional woman in my day job balancing home life and work. Can we really have it all? These are the post-college issues that make this series stand out from the crowd.
These authors have a fantastic fun writing style. Recommended for fans of modern love stories with relateable issues, who like their spice ;)

I picked up Book1 because the cover was so beautiful... read books 1-2 one after the other, and was waiting impatiently for the ARC of Book3...

The book is written as well as the other books in the trilogy. I loved how Bailey's character arc is defined in this book.
*𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘳*
I was rooting for Derrick and Bailey, and I got the HEA I wanted (curse me for being a die hard romantic, also see what I did there!)... and the end of the book... my heart!!!
An amazing series to read if you like wolfie fantasy...

What an amazing, action-packed, and thrilling conclusion to this phenomenal series! I was on edge right from the start because I knew that some sort of explosive and epic fight was on the horizon! The buildup was intense and it had me biting my nails like crazy with anticipation of what was going to happen next.
Derrick and Bailey take us on an exciting journey that is filled with emotional ups and downs and so much passion and love. I loved seeing how much they have grown as alphas and as a couple.
Really well written conclusion that had many unexpected twists and turns throughout that kept me utterly captivated and highly entertained.
Loved it!

In the last book we get more information about the new villain in the story. I thought the concept was really cool, but I think the conflict was solved a bit to fast and there would be so much more potential in it. I liked that the vampire were more involved in this book and we learned more about the deal with Travis. I think the connection between Derek and Bailey was very beautiful and the ending was very nice, but I think the story could have been a bit longer and more in-depth. I would like to read more about them. What I really would like there to be a spin off about Xavier and Layra. They are so cute and I would like to read more about there connection and there future and past

This trilogy was so good! This book served as a perfect ending. Bailey is such an inspiration, and Derek is a perfect mate! But the bad guy is coming for them, and it's a conflict that not everyone is likely to survive. Can their bond remain intact with everything the evil mastermind has planned for them? Will the packs ever learn to coexist together in harmony? Plunge into the last book now, or binge the whole trilogy now that it's finished! This series is such a fantastic take on Alphas and shifters, and the authors are ones you'll want to add to your list of people to read from forever!

Changed: Rise of the Alpha book 3 by Kacey Lee and Raven Storm is the conclusion of the series. I enjoyed reading and recommend the series for readers 18+. After joining the packs Bailey finds being an Alpha isn't easy. Fights and distrust still linger. To make matters worse vampires threaten their safety but there may be something bigger at play, pulling the strings for all supernaturals. Will her and her mate/co alpha, along with other pack members manage to coexist and at the same time defeat the other dangers facing them? This great series is available on Amazon

Derrick and Bailey thought that their fighting days were over, that they could join together and run the pack as one but of course that would be waaaaaaaay to easy. Exciting, gripping, this drew me back into this world as the fighting and action soon took off. Twists and turns and a few surprises along the way, we do get a few answers to our questions and then there is the ending! Such a good way to end this great YA shifter paranormal romance.

Great Story
Had everything you needed . Love the way the packs came together. Although you could tell it was young adults running the show . I actually like the young adult books , but sometimes they make me wanna pull my hair out . All in all a great read and yes I read all 3 books . Great ending to an exciting story .

Taken
XXX! Violence and adult content, reader discretion advised. One was taken from him so he would take all from them. Then Bailey came along and messed that plan right up. The Bankroller didn’t plan on her or Derrick and the complications they would bring. Too bad for him.

January 10, 2023Way to drawn out.
Book is well written but is way to drawn out. The same bad guy coming back over and over. Like really he should have been killed off in the middle of the last book.

The third book was by far the best. The first two books were kinda slow but I’m glad I kept going because the last one was great!!
