Ecstatic

Arcane Mage Series, Book 5

De: T.S. Snow

Narrado por: Tristan James, Aletha George

Be a Magical Engineer, they say
It’ll be fun, they say.

Yeah…not so much.

From the minute I graduated, my life was turned upside down.
And things only got worse when I helped AMIA in their efforts to take down the resistance.

Now Logan, Theo, and I are at the rebel's mercy.
They want us dead, but we’re determined to see another day.

All we have to do is find a way out of this hole, fight a bazillion rebels,
And save the day, so I can go back to my men.
No big deal, right?

If we live through this, and I get to see my men again, I'll be Ecstatic.
And if I take down my psycho cousin while we’re at it, that’s even better.

Note: Ecstatic is book five of the Arcane Mage series. This book is a slow-build reverse-harem romance intended for adult audiences. No opossums were taken out of their mailbox in the makings of this book.

Great series!

Love these books, great story line and snark that leaves you laughing till your sides hurt!

Easter Eggs

I am loving this series and I am holding back a chuckle at all the references in the book. Char’s (FMC) references make me want to ask to hang out to catch up on the latest in a series we like. She feels like a real person and as disorganized and confused as anyone feels when it comes to adulting. TS Snow pulls you into Char’s book like your bff is trying to tell you about all the tea but still forgets what they had for lunch.

So many Feels

FINALLY!! RH action!
This book begins immediately after the last with Char, Logan and Theo captured by the resistance and everyone else freaking out. We see so much more to Logan and Theo. The little bit of back story we get from Logan makes me want to cry. And Theo? I cant tell is he’s being deliberately obtuse. I have a theory on why he’s acting the way he is but ill add that below with more Theo talk.
I love how Char, Logan and Theo had to work together to get out. Even though they might not have needed to escape. Their rescue was already in progress. I see a budding relationship forming between logan and Theo and I cant wait to see it progress. Also Logans inner monologue to seeing Char reunite with Bast and Andres (hot damn that was hot).
Lets talk Harem (My favorite topic)
Bast: I will forever love bast. He is everything anyone could ask for in a guy. Sweet compassionate, sexy as hell, and encouraging in anything Char wants to do as long as she’s not at risk. I’m convinced he will forever be my favorite.
Andres: Sweet, sweet Andres. I love that he seems to be taking on the role as peace maker in the group. He’s honestly hilarious and when he and Char team up to mess with Bast its just gold. Now I don’t know why possessive Andres is the most adorable thing ever when Blaze acted like that I wanted to punch him. Maybe because it wasn’t targeted toward one of the Harem. I may never know but I was grinning the entire time reading it.
Logan: I love that he seems to be all for the RH and actually thinks its hot. I can’t wait to see logans and Chars relationship blossom.
Blaze: I’m so glad he finally got his head out his a$$. If you’ve read my other reviews I’m not a fan of Blaze but I am glad he finally took that nasty possessiveness and threw it away, and in the end finally realizes that having more boy friends means having more protection. He cant always be there to protect Char but that doesn’t mean someone else wont step up and fill the gap.
Theo: I’m so conflicted with Theo. I was thinking the whole time that there was something fishy going on with Theo. I’m glad we finally know the answer and I can not wait to see him grovel. Even though in the end it really wasn’t his fault but he could have explained things to Char while they were imprisoned. In stead he basically burned the bridge. Man I love a good grovel and cant wait to see it.

There are aspects to each review of this story that remains true throughout. Such as Bast’s Grandma being completely Nuts and I love that woman, to being completely obsessed with Blair. I see that she does actually have her own story even is I am confused to if its complete or not. I’m curious to see is the mechanical engineer that is new to Andre’s family might be someone in Blairs Harem? We just seemed to get a bit of information about him that just doesn’t fit with the story.
The narration was phenomenal as always. I could almost feel the emotion through the audio. Highly recommended I love the dual narration that we see. it really helps us understand more of the characters since there are 6 main characters and the books are relatively short. We needed their POVs to learn more about them.

love this be series

I can't wait for more to come. I love the internal comments and the interactions of the characters.

Interstate story line

I’m not really into reverse harems, but the storyline is interesting, the characters are well developed, the main character is relatable and amusing and the writing is well done.
The female narrator does a good job, but the male narrator is terrible. His speaking cadence is extremely weird and distracting. The cadence of a narrator is important since it sets the scene and feel of the story, and he does a great job of ruining the storyline. Every character, every line he reads sounds like it is being read by an angsty teenager with anger management issues. Sadly, i am not exaggerating.
