Holy cow, Briar Boleyn did it again. This whole series is living rent free in my brain. I happened to pick up the first book in one of the "Stuff your Kindle days" and was given the ARC to the others. This whole series has a lot of twists and turns which leave you wanting more as you read. For me they were quick reads, and I love that so much about the series. I read them all in a few days which meant I didn't have a long time to wait between the end of one and the start of another.

I must give so many props to Briar Boleyn for her world building and character development. Knight of the Goddess repairs many relationships but also gives us more insights into others. Be prepared to laugh, scream, and cry at many points throughout this book.

This book was the perfect ending to Morgan's main storyline. I am hoping that we get more glimpses of her through other books that Briar Boleyn writes that are based in this world. Also, if someone would kindly send me Draven to be my husband, I would not complain one bit.

Thank you NetGalley and Briar Boleyn for the ARC copies of this series, they are fantastic and I cant wait for others!

Thank you to NetGalley and Starwater Press for the advanced reader's copy of this book! 

 The fourth and final book in the Blood of a Fae series, Knight of the Goddess, was a satisfying end to Morgan and Draven's story. The plot moved at a decent enough pace to keep me reading and the multiple POVs always a plus for me. 

Overall I did enjoy the series, but the last two books were my least favorites. The final third of the book seemed rushed. I did appreciate all the subtle foreshadowing leading up to some of the "twists", but the final battle and new storyline fumbled at the finish line for me. I felt like there were lots of other avenues that could have been taken that would have made the ending more satisfying. 

I'm glad I read the series, and I have recommended it to a few fellow book readers, but wished I would have enjoyed the ending more.

Knowing this was the last book I really tried to savor it. This one had my heart breaking so much. This entire series has been a joy to read, and Im so sad its ending.

This fascinating Fantasy Romance is Book 4, in the Blood Of A Fae Series. 
The romance is this book is pre established from the previous books, and full of utter devotion towards one another.
The book does have several spicy scenes that are written intimately. Although there isnt a ton of spice, there is enough to keep you satisfied. The books plot really takes the focus of the book.
The book moves at a quick pace following the MCs as they travel to battle their enemy, and hopefully defeat them. The journey is full of battles, losses, found family, and self discovery.
The characters are amazing just as they are in the previous books. There are a few characters that have been in the shadows, as well as some very important new characters introduced. 
The world building remains beautifully complex while adding in some new additions as the FMC learns more about who she really is.
