Great book!! I absolutely love the introduction of Gray & Jack to this universe. Love how much of a badass this story portrayed women. Not just Natasha buy Gwen as well as Jessica & Harper (as usual). 

I loved the right person, wrong time theme with Wyatt & Natasha. They both knew from the 1st time they met, but something, usually the Knight, got in their way.

Great book. I was on the edge of my seat & couldn't put it down. From the suspense, the sorrow & the heated exchanges, it was a page turner. Mia's bold decision to ask a stranger to pretend to be her boyfriend changed her whole life, but not in the way she thought. 

Running to Colt was instinct & exactly what she didn't know she needed. I love how he was so protective of her from the beginning.

Loved the idea of someone who had been in a traumatic situation, taking her life back and becoming like the people who helped save her. Also loved showing that there are people out there who may not serve in the military or be able to go to college because taking care of family is just as honorable. Grant put his whole on hold to care for his sister, but he was able to make a name for himself and help others while doing it.

Found Family 

📖 Rejected: Book 1

What a great take on the shifter lore. Most talk about the moon goddess, but this is totally different, and I'm here for it. Love the library angle and that it serves as a hub for the other worlds. 

For someone who had been beaten & bullied for most of her life, Mera is surprisingly open & kind to those she has met in the library. I love her quick wit & sarcasm with everyone.

📖 Reclaimed: Book 2

"I am who I am. If you can’t handle me, that's your issue."

Oh my goodness, I am in love with Shadow. His broodiness, his power, his reluctantance to love Mera. It's just so good!! Mera is the snarky bad ass whom I want to be like when I grow up.

This book is all about getting back to the Shadow lands and figuring out what Mera is as well as for Shadow to reclaim his throne. I just love the "pack" Mera has surrounded herself with, starting with Angel. But Angel, Midnight, Simone, & "the guys" are so much a family that Mera has desperately needed & wanted. 

📖 Reborn: Book 3

"I was struck by the truth that real friends, as rare as they were, could be recognized in how they encouraged us - either via words or actions - to be the best versions, the strongest versions of ourselves."

Great conclusion to Mera & Shadow's story. They really were made for each other. You could see the development of both characters throughout the 3 books. Mera from a scared but snarky shifter to a confident & strong woman. Shadow from a dark and untrusting beast to a gentler and more open man. 

The final battle and their pack coming together to fight was epic. I can't wait to see what Reece & Angel's story is, as well as what happens with Simone and Sam.

Magic

Spark: Book 1

I loved the premise for this series. The fact that there is a group of people who have magic but don't fit in with the 7 pillars. And I loved that Elliot was drawn to all 4 men before she even manifested her magic.

There is an underlying mystery to the series that I love. Almost like something is working against the unpredictables. Can't wait to see how Elliot progresses.

Trials: Book 2

When the spice meets Goblet of Fire, you get Unpredictable Magic!!

Love love this storyline. It truly was a spicy version of Goblet of Fire, and I loved every moment. Elliot truly underestimates herself, but I love that the guys push her to see herself for the strong woman she is.

The grand Royale really was fun to watch Elliot get some payback and how it came down to the final two people. The challenges were cool, and I loved that they went to Kendal for help. I think she will finally come into her own soon. I didn't expect the ending, which was delightful.

Thief: Book 3

Being in a coma was a twist I didn't expect, but I love that all the guys and Maddy went to Roman's house during that time to be together. 

The storyline was intriguing this book. Between the students having their powers stolen and Elliot developing a new power, it was definitely an action-packed semester. Though the twist about the root of the problem was a clever idea as well.

Threat: Book 4

Man, this guy who is behind everything really has a vendetta against the unpredictables. I do love that we got to see more of the dynamic with Maddy and guys at the beginning during the break. And I love that Maddy is coming into her own badassery. 

Love that Kendal and the other students who Elliot helped during the last book have all formed a friendship and are rallying together. But Elliot's dad is a jerk, and I'm glad we got to see them interact. 

Hunt: Book 5

Whew. This book was fast-paced and full of twists & turns. The way the unpredictable students were treated just makes my blood boil & reminds me of our very real & human dark history. 

Loved the way that all the guys came together to help Elliot hunt for the bad guy. And the ending was intense. So much was revealed by the fight, but so much was also left unresolved.

Clash: Book 6

What a great conclusion to the series! The way they all fought and trained to go against the bad guy plus gathering others outside of their circle was perfect. I love that the final stand was where it all began.

It was great to learn more about Liam and how Roman grew up. I didn't see the mental attack coming, though. I had a feeling the final showdown was how it ended. I think it really helped Elliot and Roman connect on another level.

Man, Candice is badass!! She is so strong & determined. Her friends are so loyal to her. She may not have magic, but yet again, she shows she is not powerless. Strength comes in many forms & she taps into those well.

Can we just talk about the moment in "her house". The long awaited claiming. The chemistry they have built through all three books, and though it was explicit, it was well done and just what this series needed.

The twists & turns that started in book  one continued all the way til the end of this book. I loved that I wasn't exactly sure how it would wrap up & I loved the good redemption storyline thrown in as well.

I could not put this book down. There were so many facets to this story that I loved the constant edge I felt during reading it. 

Flynn has always struck me as the quiet one of the group. Having to deal with his mother's declining health has taken a toll. 

All Carina wants to do is start over fresh, but life is conspiring against her. Leaving Michigan for Cradle Mountain after being falsely accused of stealing medication was an easy choice. But even though she was found innocent, the stigma followed her to her new town. Now, having to beg for her job, deal with a clingy ex from both her past & Flynn's and the twins next door trying to drive her from town she manages to prove herself and fall for the quiet hero.

Samantha is such a strong character. To have endured all she did and still come out fighting shows her inner strength. No wonder Kye was smitten with her.

After being taken by Carter to finish the microchip project, Samantha finds a ray of hope when Kye is captured and is in the cell next to her. Before they are able to escape, Samantha discovers an unknown player. 

Kye and his team still have to protect Samantha against people still trying to take her to make more microchips. The twist at the end I did not see coming and I loved it. It's a great series, and I can't wait to dive into Logan's team series.

Just when I think Nyssa Kathryn can not top her last book, she throws this amnesia trope with a twist into the mix. 

To say Tori is one bad ass woman is an understatement. After waking up with Amnesia, she finds a note from Oliver in her pocket along with lots of cash. Not knowing where to go or who to trust, she turns to Oliver & his team.

After an unforgettable night, Oliver believes he will never hear from Tori again. Imagine is surprise when she turns up in their free self-defense class. Only to discover she doesn't remember him quite like he had hoped. 

Uncovering who she is and why she showed up in Marble Falls with lots of cash is a mystery they unravel together. Only problem? All signs point to Project Arma's involvement.

I loved Quinn's confidence from the beginning. She is a great investigator with the drive to keep searching for the story. She also has a kind heart, not to mention a bad ass older brother who made sure she could defend herself. The joy I had in seeing her fall in love with a totally different career was refreshing. 

Wyatt is the quiet but steady neighbor Quinn needed. Even though he knows who she is and that she is hiding something, he gives them time to really get to know each other. I love that there was no misunderstanding trope with them. 

Project Arma took a blow last book, and this time, it was about trying to rebuild. Using non military people it definitely let Quinn's strength shine through the pages but also opens up the team to more what-if scenarios.

Becca knows her worth, even though she has had a string of really bad luck. Kade always seems to fall for the damsel in distress but doesn't realize Becca isn't in distress. This book is a really slow burn but once they burn they set flames!!
