TERRIFIC

By to by to the next book. Enjoy everyone this is going to be a great ride

The awesome series continues!

Book 4 is just as good as the previous 3 books. Love this series. The author provides a very creative, suspenseful, intriguing story. I can't stop continuing this exciting story. The author has given us great characters and a great plot. This has great suspense, thrill and a touch of romance. There are two very strong men who are perfect in their own way. Love them both. Sometimes it is easy to pick out who you think should be together when there are two guys after the same girl. However, I could see Sloan with either of the guys. Warren and/or Nathan. The story is great too. Love the paranormal. Love to see what their gifts are and how they are going to use them. It is fun to see how Sloan with her gifts will protect those around her and grow her relationships. The narrator does a really great job with the characters and the plot.

Bringing it all Together

This third book does very well in bringing parts of the series together. I'd say this one definitely has less action and more drama and romance. The author really knows how to write a good fight scene, like at the end of the previous book. This fight scene was a little week by my definition but I also really like a lot of action and drama. But when it comes to pulling bits and pieces of details together into a much larger scheme of things, this book does very well. The author does a great job at not allowing 100% trust in characters, and at the end you really don't know who to trust or what to believe. That's the kind of mystery that I have been missing. Also the narrator of the series does a wonderful job at pulling suspense, heated arguments, and the sarcasm/jokes off. I am very thankful for this narrator because she has really done a good job at grasping the different personalities in each one of the characters. As well as creating a great picture of what relationships exist. I would say the only reason that I didn't give it five stars is just because there was a little bit too much romance and drama when it came to the story. Talk of picking out wedding dresses, relationship arguments, creating friendships, planning parties, etc. but I know that was just the author trying to cement the close circle that Sloan has around her and how important it is to her so when certain things take place, how much it affects everything. It also makes you care for them more, so when. Trust is broken, it sparks that emotion in the reader.

the series is fun and fast

this series is fun and fast with characters that are easy to like. It's surprising even though it works off of a basic formula. Totally worth the listen

Loved it!

Oh Bloodyhell!!
This book may be my favorite or of the series.
The books have been filled with action but I feel like this one just topped them all!!
Be warned this one ends in a cliffhanger as well but the good thing is the next book is out. I can’t wait to see how they resolve what will hopefully be the last battle. I also recommend listening the audiobook. The narrator is great!!

Fantastic Series!

WOW! I loved the three books before this so much, but I even love this one more! I didn't think that was possible! Elicia Hyder is a master with words. The battle between good and evil gets even more crazy and so many new and awesome characters arrive. Of course the previously loved characters are back - Sloan, Nathan and Warren, along with others. I laughed, cried, cheered, held my breath and loved every word I listened too. Brittany Pressley was a fabulous choice to narrate the story and really brought it all to life. Her characters and story lines are fantastic! I can't wait to relive all the stories on audible!

Overkill on words

These books were great but, Sloan kept saying "OH SHUT UP" to everyone. Way too much use for that phrase. I was on the brink of going bonkers if I had to hear those words again. awwwwk The main Character Sloan was supposed to be this powerful Angel but, all she did was complain and complain and complain and COMPLAIN. Other than that the storyline was great. But I have to give it a 4 star because the main character, Sloan, was badly portrayed.

So exciting

Loved this one. Many twists and turns, many truths revealed. Not all bad guys eliminated. There is still some humor, power is embraced and love is primary. So glad it has an audible version. Narration enhances the story and it is beyond excellent. Moving on to the next book.

I don’t wanna wait for the next book!

This book has me wanting more, more characters and answers. I love the supernatural work that has been built around the normal world. I also love the getting to know the new characters that have been introduced but I am very upset that I have to wait for the next book to come out. Not sure how long I have to wait but a day is too long for me.
