Publisher's summary

The ghoul population is on the increase. FACT. Creatures' numbers are dwindling. FACT.

Into this sorry state of affairs falls Eve. She's abnormal in all the ways that count to humans, but at Caelum, where she should be among her peers? Even here she's weird. No woman has more than one mate. Eve? She has seven. And the creatures that dominate her mind? There are eight of those battling for power in her soul.

With the war having come to Caelum's front door, Eve and her mates have no option but to escape the perils she faces at an Academy where anyone extraordinary is to be exterminated. On the path to safety, however, Eve and her mates must uncover exactly who she is, and what, if they can ever hope to lead normal lives. But with the revelations come more peril than any of them could have imagined.

Contains mature themes.

Pretty amazing!

The final installment was all off campus. They have to leave to get questions answered and the fact they kind of have to hide all the mate marks. There next stop is to meet Adam and Eve. And I had to reread chapters to understand their back story. Back story is a bit wild for me…I mean Adam and Eve and God is a story preached to me my whole life so I have to just resign and say this is fiction and a bit funny. I liked all their last steps moved pretty easy and in the end Eve and her men basically saved the world from the ghouls. It was a really unique series and I really enjoyed it. I will be relistening in the future. I am pretty good at fast-forwarding through the internal dialog cuz with all the different POVs there is ample internal dialog which is repetitive and I guess boring.

The final book

This was the final book of the trilogy, and worthy of the 3 credits used for each.
Reverse harem, paranormal slow burn romance. It had a new perspective on paranormal creatures and religion with the idea that creatures have 8 souls (vampire, were, gargoyle, etc) in them and that they were the original creations of God. With a spin on religion(s) and mythology about the creation of all, it was an Interesting journey.
I listened to the book on speed of 1.5 (I usually end up doing so as narration always seems way to slow in most audiobooks, perhaps that’s just me)
Narrators were a mix of good and great and I enjoyed this 3-book journey!

wow! an ending to rival all

I've read the series in books, but listening to it was epic. i was able to put voice to the characters and the ending of the series was epic! I'll have to read them all again.

Amazing

Having the last book read to me allowed me to have that first time feeling all over again. I have loved this story since it was released and the audio for this book is no different. Amazing job!

Wow!

This book! I am amazed by this author! What an awesome take on good vs evil! The story line was so good I am going to find another book by her right now!

WOW. Hands down one of the best.

This was one of the best audible books I’ve done this year. I really enjoyed this paranormal RH it was amazing. I enjoyed the growth and even the religious take on it. & I’m not a religious person. This books pulls on all your heart strings make you laugh and wanna cry. It’s not a teen bullying book. It had very little bullying in it. I finished all three books in 2 I couldn’t stop. I was obsessed

Truly Enjoyed This Series

Audiobook: Narrators: Jennifer Jill Araya & Austin Rising Loved these Narrators!!!!
5/Stars & 5/performance
Review:
Wow, I can’t believe I zoomed through these as fast as I did but they were so worth it. This last book brings even bigger bomb shells to the twists I didn’t see coming. It comes down to them fighting to save humanity Good vs Evil...Heaven vs Hell. The epic battle that Eve, and her guys have to wage is what her destiny is about. It may cost them a lot in the end, but her belief in innocence and humanity is the only thing that can save it. The character growth throughout the series is wonderful and I truly enjoyed it. It will be a series I go back to re-read.

loved

I enjoyed the last book of this 3 book series. It was a unique paranormal religious twist. I think Serena did a wonderful job and I feel she ended the series perfectly.

Just wow!

I won’t say I agree with all of the biblical standpoints, but I love how Serena took such a twist and blended the paranormal with a biblical aspect. I know she had to change up the story of the Bible to make the story work, so it still works for me. I honestly wish I had more of this story. Eve was such a breath of fresh air. Her whole story made so much sense. I loved how the whole tail unraveled. The overall narration and story was amazing. Seriously I feel as if Dre left me needing more of him throughout the story though. If I could just get more of him I would be so happy. This whole series is a definite must read for me. I am so glad I found it! Now I have to go bury my sorrows in another book or something because I can’t believe it’s over!

Well thought out.

Love this story ❤️ read this one before listening to the audible so I did have a different idea of the voices of everyone in my head but they still did a good job. Love this story and with everything going on in the world it was the perfect listen ❤️
