I can’t believe I just read the last book in the Knights series. It’s bittersweet. On one hand I will miss these boys and Octavia, while on the other hand, that was an epic finish!

With each book in this series, the stakes are higher and higher - and we fall harder for these four boys.. This finale was a powerhouse of action and suspense. And the romance was top notch!

We come full circle in Forever Royal, getting answers to burning questions, pulling back the curtain on inner workings of The Knights. And while there was some stuff that I could see coming, some discoveries blew me away.

This series is infinitely worth the read if you’re a fan of reverse harem and romantic suspense! I loved these books and the characters so much.

So. To the final book of the series!

Up until now each book I've enjoyed thoroughly. They were all well paced and great storylines.

I expected this to be along similar lines....
But (to me anyway!)....it was missing something.

It felt as though the first 50% was purely about V and the guys finding different ways to sleep together, V wishing she didn't have to keep this secret and getting away with the extra training and bruises, and every now and then something important, such as finding clues about the info Harrison looking was for, thrown in every now and then.

The main conclusion really felt wrapped up within the last 25% of the book and it was a perfect end to the story.
The epilogue was a nice touch.

But it left me with a couple of additional questions..
Did they all pass the exams, and graduate? Especially V who needed to to get her trust fund?
Did V go to the same college as the boys? What did East do now?
What happened to Indi? Did she go to college too? And what happened to her boys?
Did they agree to be Knights?
Did Finns parents die?
Where did the police officer who shot Harrison come from? Also knowing he was back in the USA , would they really have left their security so lax?
Did Smithy stay at the house? Did Matthew stay with him?
What happened to Nate?

So, yeah...a few unanswered things but the big questions were dealt with. I wish this had been put together in the same way the other three had to give the series a better conclusion, but it gave us the much needed HEA for V and her boys.

I received a copy of the ebook in return for an honest review

I was given and arc copy of this to read from the Smuthood. From start to finish this book had me hooked! So many twist and turns loved it.

What a conclusion to the series.

Throughout this series I grew to really love her guys, Linc and Mav the most. There's just something about a broken man who only shows his soft side for his girl that get me.
I absolutely love Indie and V's relationship. Her rainbows and sunshine bestfriend is the best.

Now this book was full of steam, Mav and Linc especially had some delicious scenes.

There was so much angst and build up and once the plot twists came I was shocked. I had no idea. I knew there was involvement of certain characters but I was completely wrong about how.

I'm so sad this series is over, but sooooo ready for the next one!

After being left on that absolutely brutal cliffhanger, we are back for the 4th and final book in the Knights of Echo Cove series. This book has just as much if not more secrets and pain as the others in the series and picks up right where we left them.
It was so good to be back with Octavia and her beautiful broody boys as well as her bff Indy. There was definitely no shortage of drama and the spice..delicious.
This was such a great finale to the series. I can’t wait to read more from Lily

I had such high hopes for the final book in this series, but Forever Royal was just okay for me.

I felt like there was something missing from this book that the other three had - maybe it was the mystery and intrigue of the Knights organization, maybe it was that Octavia did exactly what she hated about the guys and their involvement with the Knights. I’m not 100% sure, but I found myself skimming to get to the planning and action.

The guys definitely played a smaller part in this book than in the others. Since Octavia was keeping secrets of her own, she separated herself from them and only showed up at convenient times to get together with one or more of them. I missed some of the relationship development that happened before.

While I was happy to see where the action went and how Octavia and the guys fought for their HEA, it felt a little rushed. So many revelations came out in the last 20% while everything before that just felt like build up. I wish it had been spread more evenly through the book and had some more detail about how things played out and the effect it had on the MCs.

I’m glad these five got their HEA and that we got a little glimpse of it at the end. This series was a wild ride for all of them and it kept me on my toes.

*Series review*

The sex scenes were really really hot ngl.
I have read stories about elite schools, secret societies and such a million times before so nothing was new here.
The heroine is really stupid, I couldn't root for her at all. She waited for every events to crash into her. She grew the smallest backbone in the first book after being bullying for weeks, it lasted 3 pages. After her kidnapping she mentioned deciding to become pro-active in search of the truth, did it happen? Absolutely not.

Don't even get me started on Smithy, the doormat. No way that guy was the big boss, no way. he had no power over anything or anybody. He let his friend exchange his wife for his daughter's life. Wife spent years being raped and tortured and he did nothing? Same with the 4 boys, he let them being tortured and traumatised for absolutely nothing because he had the power to stop the Knights.
Give me a break.

Why did her father put clues all over the world when she had no fricking idea of where or why he put them there? Why not just give everything to Smithy? Because the dude was so invisible no one in power cared about him.

A lot of fillers in the story, her car, the millions coffees she drank, even her friend Indi was just there (girl is also in a RH that's convenient for her series that's coming...), Raleigh, even Blair and her parents, hell even Evan had no purpose to the plot. We could have a shorter series if not for all of these? Like focus on the Knights and their story.

An epic conclusion to The Knights of Echoes Cove series!! This book was a rollercoaster, I could feel every single emotion these characters went through. Pro tip: Don't start this book before bed because you won't be able to go to bed without finishing it. There were a few mini cliffhangers to power through but thankfully you could keep reading without having to wait until the next book. The reveals in this book? Oh my god! Lily did an incredible job building up to some of the main mysteries we've wanted to know for a while and my mind was blown when we learned who the Archon was. I loved how Indi supported Octavia without question, she really need someone in her corner this whole series. I can't wait to read more from Lily Wildhart, this series was an awesome start!!

Keeps you guessing!

Bravo…what a series! This book keeps you guessing until the last paragraph! It was such great angst and suspense. However, it did not disappoint on the relationships between the characters. Just wow…it’s got some spice! TW/18+ 4.5/stars
