With the realms crashing down around me, I attempt to find solace within my developing relationships.
After a terrifying altercation with one of the most powerful and ruthless males in our world, I’m healing broken bonds with the last person I expected.
But even if I can find a moment's reprieve, the mystery behind the missing supes finally comes to a head and all the horrible truths are revealed.
What we discover is far worse than we ever imagined as all our dark pasts come back to haunt us.
Combining my unusual powers with my five mates might be the only way to stop the end of magic and save them all.

Will we ever get our happily ever after?
Or will our sacrifices along the way be too great to overcome?

    I loved this series! I loved the story and the characters. I'm sad that it's over, but at least there are a few more series by this author I can read. One of them has a character from this series that I loved and was hoping he would be in more books.

    After being in a huge book slump, this series was perfect! I think I did find myself skimming the last few chapters only because the "final battle" happens around 75% of book and the rest is mostly spice (not that I mind) but it did get a little monotonous. But this series overall was a great read it grabbed my attention right away and held it through all 3 books.

    These were a quick and fun read for me. I devoured the trilogy in roughly two days. It was great to see Shayla remain herself through all her trials and tribulations. Loved all of her mates, even ended up liking the one I thought I’d like the least the most by the end of this book. I’d be interested in hearing more about their future. Hopefully there will be more interconnected series later.
  • Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2024
    Loved the first part of this book up until the last few chapters it went from 100 to negative 30 fast. It’s like the author just needed to end the series and didn’t know how to fit everything in so it was random rushed information and then a lot of pieces were left out. All in all I would still recommend but ending was disappointing

    This conclusion of the series had everything you'd expect. Plenty of spice with each of the mates getting time with Shayla to claim her and the group scenes were also hot. The unexpected twist of Landis and Hollis together was also hot.
    They solve the problem of the fading or draining of magic at the school and realms. The surprise was who all was involved and what each of our favorite characters had to do in order to end the problem.
    Throughout all of this Shayla and her mates all grow closer and especially Rourke finally comes to his senses and admits his mistake in rejecting her mate bond.
    I loved the dynamics of Shayla and each of her mates. Arden is still my favorite of all her men, he's the Teddy bear of the group, then Branden and Rourke, Hollis, and Landis all are completely lost to Shayla. The complete dynamics of this harem are completely outstanding MM MM MF Totaly love the setup.
    Some of the revelations about Shayla and her magic make sense also when we find out who her father is and the mystery of the sparkles comes to light.

    Truly beautiful ending to a wicked fantasy. Like most supernatural worlds there is evil & good, it’s just knowing how to be the light in that darkness. I love Shayla is truly an amazing FMC really enjoyed her strength. She also got dang lucky in the mates department. Because these guys are not only hot for her but some are even hot for each other.

    🔥🔥🔥. Wow, great storyline. Had me on the edge of my seat. I loved Shayla and her men. They were very protective. A bit of bullying and a bit of torture, but on the whole, it was really good reading.

    3.0 out of 5 stars good story, fantastic characters with amazing depth, very good series, but glossed over end
    Reviewed in Canada on April 11, 2023
    I enjoyed this story and series but was disappointed in the ending not in the how it ended but that the ending of the story is glossed over. I expected more of a story windup but it felt almost like author didn’t know how to end the story and decided to throw in numerous sex scenes. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t begrudge those scenes but I skimmed over them as I was trying to get to how she was going to wind up the adventure. I felt disappointed in that she basically wound it up in a couple of paragraphs but sex scenes went on page after page after page. In the end it felt like she sacrificed the story for sex which is too bad because it was a really good story with characters who had amazing depths and struggles and I really wish the focus had been on that. Overall I do recommend the series as a whole just be prepared for a quick wrap ending.
