You’re the reason I exist.” ~Logan

What did you love best about Shine?

It was closure and the unexpected happen.

Who was your favorite character and why?

All of the characters. I love them all.

Which character – as performed by Nicole Poole – was your favorite?

They all were. She did The Mageri Series justice. Christian Poe was the one I enjoyed the most.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

“Fate brought us together for a reason; there are no accidents. Everything that happens in our lives leads us to a greater destiny, even if we don’t always understand the purpose.” —Twist

“He’ll always be my Ghuardian. That doesn’t go away if I move out.” Logan cocked his head to the side, staring down at me with bright, animalistic eyes. “If?”“You want me to stay with Justus temporarily, but he’s the one who makes the call on when I’m ready for independence. I’m a Mage, first and foremost. I still need to learn to protect my light because five hundred years from now, I’m still going to be a Mage. I’m not sure if one or two years is sufficient for me to learn what I need to know.”

Sometimes you need a minute to just breathe and get your head together.

That’s where we disagreed—the fragility of life is what makes humanity so beautiful.

Without stars, there is still the moon to light up the night sky, and Silver is my moon. Why wish for the stars when I have all the light I need?”

Fate doesn’t always give us what we want, but it gives us what we need.”

“I will love you until the stars burn out and we are nothing more than cosmic dust.”

“Bars will not cage my love for you. Distance will not keep me out of your dreams. Death will not stop my heart from beating for you, Little Raven. You knew this might happen.”
“I’ll never leave you,” he whispered against my hair.
Logan lunged toward me and held my face, giving me a desperate and soulful kiss as he spoke against my lips. “You’re the reason I exist.”

(This was the most severe heart-wrenching part of the story. Dang it I''m balling again.)

Any additional comments?

Highly recommend this series. It's worth it. 5 *****stars across the board..

Don't forget the box of Kleenex. You will need it.

Awesome storyline!

I'm a forever fan! I hope there's a sequel. Great listen. I'd recommend to anyone who needs a good, ass kikin' love story!

simply great 🤩

I did enjoy this book the most.. somehow sad I am about to come to the last one.
A couple of events did sound a bit stretched, but all in all it was pleasant, at last away (or nearly) from the irritating what-ifs.
Great insight into life.. if you keep a piece of someone in your heart, (s)he will never die.
Nice, it is so true

Amazing series

The narrator amazing the storyline amazing Love these books! I highly recommend! Especially if you love fantasy novels!

Bravo!!!!

I laughed, I cried and I enjoyed this book completely. This author is truly talented and takes you into the lives of mage, shifter and cheetah alike. The storyline is like an adult Harry Potter with a heroine as the lead.

Chevelle

I finished this audiobook today and needed a few hrs to let it sync in this was really the last book. I know there is a novella yet but wow what an ending.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series in audio. Dannkia Dark can sure write a paranormal book that sucks you in to the very last word. I can’t say who my favorite character is because I truly loved them all in their own ways. Yes even Christian who I wasn’t really a fan of, and that’s saying something because I freaking love vampires.

I will admit I teared up in the last book but it had nothing on this one. I bawled like a dang baby. I even had my son come ask me if I was alright, me – I am fine just the book. Sob, sob, sob..

Silver wow this girl she has grown from the girl she once was and I want to listen to more, more, more, I feel like I could listen to another 5 books , maybe Simon? Yeah I say we need a Simon book to be sure! Oh and Adam yes please Mr. Yummy pants he totally is I don’t care he is scared it only adds to his charm.

This was a lot of chatter because this book speaks for itself. I don’t need to give you a plot run down you can read the blurb for that. I feel like this is a good bye to a great series letter more than a review. If you read or listened to the other books its already automatic you’re going to get this book I mean hello more Logan, Justus, Simon, Adam and Christian not to mention Fin and the other Cross brothers. Hello man meat ;)

I can’t say enough great things about this narrator she brought each character to life in their own way. I loved it to the moon and back. She did an outstanding job.

*All my Reviews are 100% honest and my own.*

Pleasantly surprised

This book was the best in this series so far. It took me through so emotions. It was truly an emotional rollercoaster. I learned so much about the characters and their back stories…. I’m so excited to learn more. The way the story developed had me completely enthralled. 10 out of 10, I almost wish I could forget everything and listen again, but I don’t know if my heart can truly handle all of this a second time. I need a glass of wine, a breather, and another credit so I buy the next in series. Wishing you all a happy binge listen!

Love this series

I really enjoy this series and characters. Makes me look forward to my long commute!!

GRAND FINALE!!!!

WOW,WOW,WOW!!!! What an amazing finish to a great series. Everything came together. That being said, Closer did not tie up to this end. But this did not deter this book from being the exceptional ending that this series needed.

Dannika Dark, THIS SERIES SHOULD BE IN MOVIE THEATERS!!!! Nicole Poole, what an exceptional job you did with this series! I take my hat off to you both!

I have given this series a PERFECT SCORE, because it deserved it!!!!!
