Fantastic Story! Everspell is the final book in the Kindred Series. This story was an emotional roller coaster! There was anxiety, love, fear, happiness, sadness, and for me at the end, there was hope. Runa and Brom felt a connection to each other from the very beginning. They go through a lot both separately and together. All the characters from the previous books show up to try to help defeat Sybbyl and the coven. But is evil ever really gone? This book can be read as a stand-alone but it would probably be better if you read the series. It was such a wonderful book and I would recommend it.

This is the last book in this part of the series, there will be a spinoff to it, so if you haven't read from the beginning I suggest you back track!
This focuses on Runa, who's world has been flipped over on her and Brom, who has been dreaming of a woman and needs to find her. Runa has found out about a sister that she never even knew she had but knows that she needs to find her and help her. All Brom knows is that he wants to be there for Runa and see about this attraction they have for each other. It is hard work for them but they will get there!
The story itself was very enjoyable and while the chemistry between the characters was good, I just couldn't relate to Runa. Brom on the otherhand is very swoon worthy!
With that being said this book isn't full closure on this series but has opened it up for more!

This is one of my favorite series by Donna Grant. I love the blend of mythologies and magic in it, and how each character that gets introduced is different and brings something new and a new depth to the story. I had a hard time connecting with Runa, found her to be a hard character to like, which made the beginning of the book drag a little bit for me. I really liked Brom though, he made a strong male lead character. The book picked up about half way through when the action really increased, and more twists were revealed and the story really started to come together. It was a stunning conclusion, heartbreaking, surprising. I'm hoping this won't be the complete end of the witches and the Varoki, it feels like there are more stories to be told.

Soulmates, secrets and magic… it’s epic!
Runa is a loner. A survivor, warrior and a woman who knows how to take care of herself. Runa walks a thin line with her feet dangling on both sides of the line and holds her secrets deep. She’s someone I definitely wouldn’t want to be on the wrong side of her sword but yet hope she would join in on my side of the battle. Just learning of family Runa didn’t believe she had any longer, her world is shaken just a bit. Runa is now on a mission when an unexpected man drops into her world and never leaves her mind.
Brom chooses to be a loner because he doesn’t feel like he fits in anywhere. He dreams of a woman he has yet to meet but feels the overwhelming pull to find her. Brom hides his true nature of what he is at the moment he needs the woman he sees in his dreams. He knows he can feel something so much more and knows deep inside that he can be himself with her. There Is much more to her and them than the lady in his dreams.
Everspell was epic in so many ways. From the moment Runa and Brom meet to the struggle they face, together and apart, to the battles they face in the end are epic. I knew I was walking into a well established series but let me say the world building it top notch. I feel like I was truly carried away to another world. The characters are confident and strong. Willing to fight to the end and very likable. The magical element was exciting and in your face. The romance between Runa and Brom was fast and furious but fate has a way of doing that. They fought for their lives and their passion. That is a winner in my book. I very much enjoyed Everspell.

Everspell is a tale of two people that are destined not only for one another, but to be the key to the ending of the fight between the deadly evil Witch stalking the world and those that have been battling her and those like her for years. While I can honestly say the ending broke my heart in a lot of ways, I hope the series doesn’t end here because these characters and the world they inhabit continues to intrigue me and keep me wanting more. Brom is the man that we all want by our sides; steadfast, sensitive, strong, sweet, and sensual, he is the type of character that carries the story and keeps you reading no matter how hard you might be pulled back into the real world. Runa was a good match for him, despite being a little bit foolhardy and sometimes not fully thinking out her actions. I would have loved her to be more thoughtful of those in her group and take in account those in her circle, but she was too slow to trust. The passion between them was a steady undercurrent and the few times it came out were a blaze to witness, but we didn’t get nearly enough time with them together for me. I loved the story in all, though the romance was a little less than normal for me, mostly due to the epic battles, the overall resurgence of previous characters and the weaving together of previous storylines into one fabulous arc. I am sad to have seen some parts of the ending and hope to see happy endings from that in future stories, but I will just have to (try to) be patient and wait. Another great story Donna!

Runa and Brom are electric and full of passion and heat. But trust is not something that comes easy to either of them and with enemies and battles to be fought that is one of the most important things besides love. Action pact, full of secrets and deception, this installment takes it to the next level! Not to be missed!

Everspell is the fifth book in The Kindred series. I haven’t read any of the previous ones. I didn’t need to have read any of them to still get a wonderful complete sense of the world, it was done that well. The book also starts with Brom listening in on the Varroki and Runa getting a history lesson by a Gira as well as a witch. This filled in a lot of the gaps that had me a bit confused initially. The biggest thing I missed out on was exactly who the other main players were and how they came to be in that particular place in the story. Other than that, the book read perfectly fine without all the prior knowledge. But it would probably be best to start at number one and read them in order.
Brom and Runa had a connection even before they met, through some dreams that Brom had about her. The attraction was clear from the beginning and I enjoyed seeing them together.
It took a bit of time to get to the climax of the story. Brom and Runa had some harrowing experiences together and apart. Runa was throughout it all very determined to save her grandmother and her sister, though she hadn’t even met them.
I think what I also missed was that usual feeling of animosity you might have towards the villain. And that’s probably because I started with this book and missed the previous ones. I assume the reader builds up towards hating Sybbyl more over time as the series progesses.
All-in-all it’s a well-written story, and it ends this chapter very neatly. The ending does imply that there is more to come.
My review is a bit late to be considered an ARC, but thank you to the author for providing me with a copy of the book.

I have been loving this book series so of course I couldn't wait to read this one. I was not disappointed.
This book is so good that I just couldn't stop reading and I didn't want to stop reading it.
Everspeal is book number five in The Reapers and yes you do need to read the previous books.
I give this 5 out of 5.

Series: The Kindred #5
Rating:3 stars - I liked It
Runa has recently learned some truths about her past that have shaken her to her very core. Now she is determined to save the family she doesn’t know. What she doesn’t plan on is to run into a mysterious stranger who seems to keep finding her right when she needs help the most.
The battle between the Coven and the Hunters/Varroki finally happens. Everyone fights to stop Sybbyl, including some never before seen allies. The end battle was nonstop action and danger that kept me on the edge of my seat. There were some unexpected losses, which was upsetting but not everyone will survive during a battle.
The only thing I didn’t love was Rune and Brom’s relationship. It was just ok for me. I don’t mind instalove relationships but theirs had no build up. It felt rushed and I never really saw the connection between these two, outside of lust. I had hoped as the story went on I would like them more but I never connected with them.
Overall, I enjoyed the battle and the new paranormals but the couple and romance was just ok for me.
