I read the first in the series, These Dangerous Fates, and I was sucked in, I knew I had to start this one immediately after. Long story short, Ellis is a human (OR IS SHE???) and is the fated mate to three best friends: a vampire, a mage, and a wolf shifter.
The entire story is full of action as the fated mates try to keep Ellis safe from her abuser and figure out the magical world around them. I loved seeing her bonds develop and deepen with her mates, even with Sterling, her most standoffish mate who has done a pretty good grovel.
The steam in this series is beyond hot, so much that at times I’m thinking “Ellis girl, pay attention to the plot progression and not the naked men around you.” But can you blame her??? Answer: no.
The cliffhanger at the end was a DOOZY and for some reason I wasn’t expecting it. I’m crushed that I’ll have to wait for the next in the series as I NEED IT. All I know is that this author is going on my “auto-buy” list!

I loved finding more about Ellis' past and finding more about what she is. You find out some great information in this book- so much that you just need to read the book in one sitting to find out all the secrets.
I loved having the multiple POVs from Ellis and the guys. It's a great little sneak peak into the guys thoughts and feelings.
Sterling had the slowest burn in the book and it was delightful. Also scenes with Kai and Cade were so hot.
I can't wait to see where the next book leads us.

These Deadly Dreams picks up right where These Dangerous Fates left off, moments after Ellis learns she is a harpy. We get lots of new information about Ellis as well as why she is bonded to all three guys- this little twist was really fun! Malakai continues to woo me with every page he dominates- he is so incredibly sexy, it’s ridiculous

Poor Ellis just can't catch a break. Picking up where Book 1 left off we see Ellis is on the verge of a nervous breakdown upon learning that she is a Harpy. A mythical creature known for restoring balance between good and evil through destruction and bloodshed. Ellis is absolutely terrified of who and what she is. She is terrified of her new and unstable powers and most of all she's afraid her mates won't want her anymore.
Kai and Cade took swoon worthy to another level. Ellis’ beloved Vampire and Soul-bound Mage were the driving force she needed to remain grounded and assure if herself especially with her and Sterling’s relationship in upheaval.
In this book we see the growing pains of this harem and how the power of love, loyalty and sacrifice can mend any brokenness. Ellis and Sterling had a lot of work to do on their relationship. Ellis was trying to forgive Sterling for his betrayal and the part he played in destroying her family and Sterling was dealing with his inner demons over the hurt and pain he caused his Fated Mate. Sterling wanted forgiveness but didn't feel worthy of it. Ellis wanted to forgive but didn't know how.
It's funny how things change when the one you love is in trouble. When Sterling has been captured by Ellis’s ex; all bets are off and she does what any woman in this situation would do……She went and found her man!!!
I loved seeing Ellis’ growth in this book. I loved seeing how her powers manifested when each of her bonds were solidified with her mates and I loved how Kai, Cade and Sterling were there every step of the way. Calming her, Coaching her, Reassuring her, Loving her and most of all Protecting her.
Ending on an exciting Cliffhanger with a new power manifestation; I look forward to Ellis finally getting her revenge against those who were set out to hurt/kill her…….. especially her horrible and evil ex fiancé.

The spice started at 5% and did not stop. It mixed in well with the plot, and I have no complaints. We get to see new sides of Kai and Sterling, and Cade is just as awesome as ever. I loved how this story continued to develop the relationship between Ellis and her guys, and their dynamic is really starting to take off. They work with each other's strengths, and that was crucial for saving Sterling. I liked seeing Allie and Connor, and adding a crow shifter ally into the mix was fun. I'm eager to see how the gang handles that bombshell at the end and how Ellis' newfound powers come into play. I want her to ruin Sam, the jackwagon that he is. Another great story!

3.5/4
I don't know where to start. Do I like this story yes but I'm not going to lie it started to lose me towards the end. The conflict with Sterling was drug out. To be completely honest the FMC is starting to get on my nerves. She is constantly breaking down and crying. I understand she has trauma but come on get a backbone! She is strong and great magical being that cries all the time! I might need to come back to book 3.

ARC Review💚
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Omg this book. I loved every second of it. This book picks right where These Dangerous Fates left us. We are reunited with our favourite guys and Ellis. Leave it to Whitney to put our FMC through it, first Lainey now Ellis. Ellis has finally found a sense of happiness with her guys and now she's just waiting for the other shoe to drop and it did *enters Sam*.
This book is nothing short of an emotional rollercoaster. You'll laugh at the banter between our favourite quartet, you'll stress and worry as they go through various trials but you'll definitely fall more in love with them. For me it's Kai, everytime he says baby girl I just melt in a puddle of happiness. I really loved seeing their relationship grow in this book. I loved seeing Ellis getting a better understanding of who she is and her powers. I love that instead of the boys being afraid of her powers they are in awe by it and it just makes my heart flutter everytime, especially with that ending.
Here's some of my favorite quotes:
"Despite everything that has been done to you and everything you have been through,
you never once let them turn you into what they are. There is no one more pure and beautiful in this world than you.”
you could be the biggest, baddest monster in Lustros and we would still burn the fucking world to the ground to be with you.”
“I love you, too. And if you’re a monster, Ellis, then you’re our monster.”
“Chocolate covered Kai dick. Where can I get me some of that?” 😂😂
“I caught you, little bird,” he breathes in my ear.
And so many more
Can't wait for book 3.

In book two of this series, the supernatural competition for Ellis' hand in marriage is still in play, even though she needs to search for reasons why she she has multiple fated mates. But when Ellis is betrayed by someone she trusts and her ex-fiance tries once again to kidnap her, Ellis finds that all she knows and loves is in jeopardy.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5

Tropes:
Fated Mates
Why Choose
Unrealized Magic
Triggers:
False Paternity
Attempted Kidnapping
Torture
My Thoughts:
First of all, I am a simp for MM romance, and Kai and Cade have such a great relationship. Add that to both of them also being into the girl and I truly melt into a puddle. I enjoyed learning more about what Ellis is and why she has several fated mates and the story line behind her ex is well written. My only hang up on this book is that the FMC cries A LOT. All the time. While I am all about showing emotion, I don't love the damsel in distress that she sometimes becomes. I look forward to her coming fully into her powers and having more confidence in herself.

DYING over this sequel!! The first book of this series blew me away and the second was no different. was sucked in from the very start and flew through this book just wanting more and more of these characters and this world. The way Whitney writes creates such an amazing sense of immersion and I can never get enough, I wanted to stay in this story forever. The romance was as spicy and satisfying as ever and the plot expands so much more, this was nothing short of an incredible read. The next book can’t come soon enough!!
