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.

honesty it does get better im near chapter 90 and I can understand your reservation about serphina but is doing to make raine stronger and under the orders of the goddess. its a pity you can't jump trek novel and start the newer one . maybe its more to your liking.

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.

serphina still yells at her but raine is getting to answer back and Tarek is moving closer . I just wish to know is she in another state or country. as I'm sure tarek said he controlled 70% of the US

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.

Discord: https://discord.gg/vrdTSkj8Va Author Notes: This is my third book, going to take what I learned from before to improve. This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book! If you give this book a try, I hope you enjoy! A very different experience and tone to Nanomancer Reborn.

As if that wasn’t enough, every pack is suddenly reporting attacks from rogue wolves. Now Ashleigh is faced not only with a war in her heart, but one in real life. Will they be able to work together, putting aside all their heart ache and pain to keep their packs safe from the enemy that threatens them all?

These themes are present all throughout the book in different ways. 3. This book is not just about the FL and ML, the cast of characters and side characters are full of rich backstories and their own chapters that play into the central plot of the story. 4. FL is young, she is flawed and she WILL piss you off. We all need time and experience to grow up. Join my discord server:
