Ok. I’m impressed.
This author managed to keep the pace basically the same speed throughout the entire 5 book series, and keep everything interesting. That’s just something I haven’t seen very much, before.

The plot was big and overreaching with little sub plots popping up throughout each book to keep us occupied and interested while the main thing really built and gained momentum.

The relationships grew and changed and played off of each other.
Throughout the series we added a total of 6 guys to the harem and they each have their own unique background and comfort levels and desires and Chris is really good at respecting each of them while simultaneously making them feel her love and care for each of them.

The sex was steamy and passionate, though I would’ve preferred more details and a little more group time. It was all still very hot and this author never shied away from it. Starting the sexual escapades earlier in the first book than I expected and then just continuing with the energy throughout. I will just say that I feel like we got most of the sexual activities with Mal and Sabian. I mean the others got time with Chris. As much as they were comfortable with. But those two got more page time than any of them and because of that, it really felt like they were the preferred two of the harem, and I didn’t really like the thought that they might be. I know she loved all of the men, and she would never give them up, I just wish the author had balanced her time with them a little more evenly.
Not only that but the only time we got any sort of group activities it was with Mal and Sabian, with one exception being a brief moment where Aaron was there for a little bondage, teasing session. I was looking forward to a group scene with at least some of the harem, but all we got was the ménage with the vampire and the incubus.
Also. There was zero butt stuff. Which also means there was zero DP. There also wasn’t any spit-roasting either. I don’t know. It was fine without it all, I just kept waiting for at least one of those things to happen, or to even be brought up. But no.

Anyway, even without all of those things, I had a fantastic time and I’m glad I read the series.
I really enjoyed that ending. Though I’m super intrigued about all the things left unanswered and unattended by the end of the series.
The note at the end says there’ll be another series with this cast of characters and I hope they’re the main ones again and that it mostly just answers questions and doesn’t start some other bigger thing and leave all the smaller things unanswered once again.
Either way, I’ll be checking it out once it releases.

I’m glad I took the time to read these 5 books. I think it was definitely worth it.
I had a damn fine time.

I received an advanced reader copy of The Price of Souls in exchange for an honest review

4.5 stars


★ – didn’t like/DNF

★★ – was okay, but I probably won’t look for any sequels

★★★- was good, I’ll likely read the next one

★★★★ – I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was great and I’ll definitely be looking for any sequels

★★★★★ – I loved it so much I’m adding the paperback to my cart right now




What a conclusion to a great series.


Favourite lines:

“Unless you object, I need to take you against the wall, right now” Ezra growled.


“Word of advice, she’ll put you on your ass if you don’t take your hand off her”, the bartender warned.

“I approve.” The smoothly seductive voice coiled through me and settled deep in my centre, warming me.”



As always with this series things get going, they go fast and they go intense. We pick up where we left off in The Price of Souls . It’s action packed, filled with an emotional rollercoaster and just when things settle - bam you’re hit with another wave.


Also, Dakota, that was a little mean. I don’t know if it’s ‘cause it’s an ARC/proof reader copy but putting the Author’s Note before the epilogue? You had me thinking for a second that was it and we were gonna be left without closure for Lucy.

Loved this series and this was the perfect ending. Chris and her men head into the final battle and my emotions were all the place during this book. It was a fitting conclusion, but i hope we get more from the world in the future. There's still so many more stories to tell

Loved it

Absolutely loved this book and the characters. Such a good plot with romance, steam, fluff, action and hurt / comfort. An amazing ending I definitely want another story with these characters.
