I loved to finally see Rarity’s story! And we get to see more the other planets! Only thing that i felt like could’ve been done better was the enemies to lovers. I feel like he gave in too easily and it could’ve gone on better. Just me?

𝘌𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘙𝘢𝘳𝘦, the fifth book in the 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸 𝘊𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 series, follows vampire Rarity as she travels dimensions to be with her fated mates, Cailian the ice elf prince and Nyx the dragon prince. Nyx, fueled by revenge for his father's death, grapples with the realization that Cailian, his father's killer, is also his mate. Little does he know, his father's demise was a mercy kill, a secret Cailian swore never to reveal.

January always writes strong and charismatic FMCs that you can’t help but love, and Rarity is no exception. Caitlin and Nyx are utterly obsessed with her. But the tumultuous relationship between them pigeonholes Rarity into the role of peacemaker while sometimes making it seem like she’s a third wheel. Their inability to get their shit together without her was frustrating at times, but also made me love her even more. I kind of wish this book was a bit longer just so she got a larger storyline outside of playing mediator.

The trio’s chemistry is undeniable and the smut was top notch. The middle dragged on a bit, but the satisfying final act made up for that. Overall, I really enjoyed it and am excited for the next book.

Thank you to January Rayne for sending me this ARC in exchange for my honest review. As always, my thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

I am a huge fan of the series, but this was a flop. Pacing was off. The chapters had cartoonist images of the characters instead of well crafted icons. The trio was immature in how they approached one another and the ending just came out of no where. 

The whole book reads as she was rushed to write it. Please take your time. The previous books have been so well crafted (sans eternally hers).

I absolutely adore this series and world! Rarity was a character I was most excited to see a story about and it did not disappoint! The relationship with its triumphs and defeats and love winning overall made my heart so happy! 
This story is spicy AF 🌶️ so be ready for that! If you’re looking for paranormal, bending gender norms, and so much smexy spice this is absolutely the world and story for you!

This book is book 5 in the Eternally Rare series and, although it can be read as a stand alone, it is much more enjoyable if you read the series because you have so much more backstory on some of the main characters. 

Our FMC is Rarity and we first met her in Shallow Cove as she was Alexander’s long lost sister. I loved having a glimpse at the characters I originally fell in love with in this series. This time it’s Rarity’s turn to step out and live her life. She actually ends up in the “rare” position of having two fated mates and unfortunately for her, her mates are sworn enemies. The event that caused the feud happened 800 years prior and was traumatic for both sides. This book was definitely a tale of redemption, revenge, intrigue, suspense, and was also surprisingly filled with heart warming moments. I can’t wait to see what comes next with this series!
