Publisher's summary

The finale in the epic Of Shadows and Fire duet.

"The mating call is in my blood, too," he whispered, his face twisting with restraint and pure male lust. "My control is slipping."

"Should I run?" I purred. "Maybe you should run."

"There's nowhere to run, for either of us," he promised darkly.

I can't forgive his betrayal, yet my body answers to his mating call.

The dirty truth about my fourth mate, a demigod druid, cut me bone deep.

To prevent an apocalypse on Earth, he had me kidnapped and taken to the Underworld. There, I was raised as a warrior slave and trained to battle the Dark Lord.

I do not care how hard it was for him to send me away, the woman he treasures most. I do not feel sorry that his heart bleeds for me every second of every day. He robbed me of my birthright and the power to carve my own destiny.

I vow never to forgive him, even though he's finally come to bring me home, even as he fights alongside me with my other immortal lovers.

Yet my body craves his every scorching touch and refuses to deny my destined mate.

This full-length reverse harem fantasy romance contains brutal battles, explicit love scenes, curses, magic, dark fae, vampires, shifters, demigod, fallen angels, and a lot of demon assholes.

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!

I love this series BUT the ending!!!!
It just leaves you hanging. Yes it’s all resolved but she doesn’t even claim her last mate Merlin before it ends. Yes he tells us how he is going to win her back and it’s implied she wants him back too but why wasn’t that included!!! Seriously, it needed a few more chapters to be complete. Maybe even a whole other book. Eli got maybe one chapter in the book one and doesn’t come back until the end of the series, max and ash were in everything which was great but Merlin was just completely left out? Its just that I fell in love with them all & at the end I’m just left wanting & wondering what happens next….

battles, battles, and more battles

Are you sure you could squeeze in another battle into the store?
You don't need a battle to push the story forward. There are other trails the characters could have gone through besides a battle.
Please work on your endings.
This is the second series that the ending was lacking for me.
