I liked this book right up until it became emotionally abusive. It was a sweet story with a hint of mystery until all of a sudden we have a new character who is mentally abusing the female lead and is just being allowed to because 'it's for her own good. Sorry; that's wrong. I've been there, done that see what it does to people's minds long term. I cant support this book. It's great till chapter 80. The english is broken, but not quite bad enough to have issued understanding. It really is cool but the characters, though most of them are great, a few are just no. Mental abuse and tough love are not synonymous. There is a huge difference and sereaphine is ridiculous.

Again tough love and abuse are different things and she crosses the line. It was wrong. Plane and simple. She has no right to do what she does, none at all but she does it anyway and they let her. Fantasy book or real life, doesn't matter. It doesn't change the line between abuse and tough love.

Yep, and last I checked holding someone against their will is still a felony in most countries. Nice chat though.

Thank you for your thoughts on it. Im glad the story does get better. Between work and school and married life I have very little time to read. So I am very picky on what I read. That is a large part of why I said okay, no. I prefer to avoid abusive stories because when you have very little time to enjoy yourself, your less likely to take a chance on something that's bothering you.

This story left me in disbelief and it's too bad because it started good and I got hooked up. Unfortunately, Jedrek/Lilac couple was left for the end, and the sour aftertaste of their story overshadowed everything good that happened before that. Jedrek is a werewolf and he should feel the mate bond, look at Lilac like she is his Goddess, and fight for Lilac's affection, yet it turned the other way around. Jedrek was cruel, selfish, and indecisive, thinking only about his first love (aka Serafina), while keeping Lilac in the background. Jedrek killed Lilac when she was a baby (literally), and then he killed Lilac again when he held Seraphina in his arms and acted lovey-dovey right in front of Lilac! And in between those two, he tortured Lilac physically and mentally. What kind of a mate does that? The story would be more satisfying if Jedrek suffered until eternity for what he had done and that he found Lilac after the war happy with a man who knows how to love her, but noooooo.... Jedrek got his happy ending because Lilac forgave him. AGAIN! I mean, Lilac was supposed to be a sassy and powerful guardian angel, yet she ended up being absolutely submissive to the point of allowing Jedrek to return to her after everything he did. As a non-werewolf, Lilac didn't feel the mate bond. Why did she fall in love with her murderer/abuser? Would Jedrek long for Lilac after the war if Serafina didn't die? Why did he realize that Lilac exists only after he lost Serafina? I can forgive Jedrek many things, but it's unforgivable how he hurt Lilac AFTER they mated and he announced to everyone that Lilac is his queen. As her mate, Jedrek was supposed to feel her pain, heartbreak, betrayal... but he didn't and he ended up going to Serafina repeatedly (he is a perfect example of a cheating husband). I don't care if he jumped into a volcano or in outer space, and I don't care if he understood how much he hurt Lilac. It came too late, and nothing can fix the wrongs he did. That said, the first two stories are good.

I wanted to write a review after reading the book completely. I agree with the people who were not happy how the third book had ended and jow the story plot was constructed. One thing for sure though, first and second book was awesome, no so much Questions were un-answered but the third book was a mess I would say. Well when I started to read the first one, the begining was kind of awesome between Jedrek and Lilac, I liked there argument a lot and interection. I really loved there bickering, infact there was this attraction between them for a short moment. But than somehow Author completely shifted from Jedrek/Lilac’s story to Jedrek/Serefina story. For the begining though, When serefina first appeared in there life, it was okey because we thought Jedrek needs a closure. But I think and I really believe that Author consciously or subconsciously was biased to Serefina/Jedrek, and he put so much interection and detailed intimacy between them, that Lilac/Jedrek story didnt matter anymore. This third book answered all the questions between Jedrek and Serefina’s love life in detail and didnt leave any place to not ask about there love for each other! But when you read the later part after Serefina’s death, It was written in a way that author just decided to kill Serefina so that Jedrek can be with Lilac, because the story is about Jedrek/Lilac from the begining, but author somehow forgot it in the middle. The ending of this book was so premature that you would have this feeling that author didnt know how to untie all the unanswered questions and knots between Lilac & Jedrek, so it was left to be not written!! As a reader, It was really disappointing to have your favorite story to be destroyed just like that. It was really my favorite book until the later half of the third book. Author lost the charm at the end, i dont know why probably because he/she was too biased towards certain cahracter. Instead of being a creator of a beautiful story, Author actually let readers suffer at the end.

Young master Damien's pet

"Who touched you?" he asked, his eyes brooding down at her and when she didn't answer, his voice thundered in the room, "WHO?" The butler who stood near the wall spoke shakily, "Sir, it was Mr. Reverale," Damien's face turned sour, his jaw ticking in anger he turned his face to the side where the butler stood behind. "Bring the man here." "N-now?" stuttered the butler. It was the time of night. Damien who hadn't broken his eye contact with the girl in front of him, pushed his hand against the wall which now rested beside his beautiful girl's head. Turning his body, he first looked at his butler who had his head bowed. With great courage, the butler came to meet his Master's eyes, "Do you have any other better time? Or should it be after I wring your neck?" Damien asked calmly tilting his head. Not a second later, the butler ran out of the room to return back with Mr. Reverale after twenty minutes. "Damien, are we having a late tea party?" Mr. Reverale came to greet but the master of the house had other plans. Spotting the knife that was stuck to the apple on the table, he reached for it to pull it out. Just as Mr. Reverale went to exchange a handshake with him, Damien took hold of his hand to place it on the table. In one swift movement as if he were chopping onions, he chopped the four fingers of the man off his hand making him yelp and cry in pain. "No one touches what is mine. I am sure this will remind you the next time you even think about touching her," sighed Damien as if he were tired of telling people to keep their dirty hands off his belongings. Meet Damien Quinn, a pureblooded vampire who is a complete narcissist, brash with his words and stingy even though he is rich who haggled when he bought a slave from the black market. On the other hand, meet Penelope who believes she is a 'guest' for a few days at the Quinn as she is intent on escaping from the odd vampire who needs therapy. ~ Discord: https://discord.gg/K63uVqN

There was nothing left of him right now. “Yes, you have, but you are in so much pain.” Iris blinked her eyes. “Your beast is in pain. You have so many scars.” “The only scars that I have is on my face.” Iris shook her head meekly. “I am not talking about your face. I am talking about your soul.

You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out. Cain’s jaw tightened with each word that left my lips “What gave you the idea that you have the power to choose what you want?” His voice was low, “You don’t get to decide what, how, and when you leave. Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.” "I didn’t ask for this,” I whispered, trembling. “I didn’t ask to be your mate.” Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?” ~~~~ As the only child of her late Alpha father, Avery Jae was meant to inherit her family’s legacy.

[Mature Content. No Rape] 'All it took was breaking one rule that she was not supposed to' He was the bad boy with tattoos. She was the good girl with glasses, and she was his. — When Julianne Winters decides to move to the dormitory of the reputed University, she has everything planned so that she can complete her graduation and leave the place. But her plan is quick to catch fire from the moment the eyes of Roman Moltenore from senior year lands on her. And his appearance screams nothing but TROUBLE. "What rules?" Julianne asked with a frown as she read through the page. She was sure she hadn't seen any rules of the campus mentioned on their website. # 4. No using cell phones. # 12. Students should not roam outside the campus after eleven in the night. The further she read, the more bizarre it turned out to be. Her friend turned the page and then pointed at the last rule # 29. Listen to Roman Moltenore. "This is made up. Look, the last one is even written in pencil." Julianne couldn't believe that her friend from the next dorm thought she would fall for it. "And no phone?" "It is important you abide by all the rules. Especially number twenty nine," said the girl in a serious tone. "Remember not to get involved with Roman. If you happened to see him, run in the other direction. There is a reason why it is written down here." With the rules of the campus, she resorts to sending handwritten letters to her uncle. But who knew it would end up in someone else’s hand!
