4.0

I gave the first three books in this series 5 stars, but this last one rates slightly lower. The reason for this is that the ending felt rushed, and the tempo did not match the previous books at all. 

Most of the world-building for this series was done in three of the authors' previous series: Salinity Cove, Arbor Falls and Wolfs of Crescent Valley. Since it was quite some years since I read any of them, I felt a little lost to some of the main characters' backstory and the events leading up to this series. I don't mind an extensive world, but it should be made clearer how the different series connect to each other in the presenting of the Her Creatures series. Or like maybe a recap in the beginning. 

With all that said: I loved this series. The characters are interesting and complex, the group dynamic is amazing and the smut is frequently recurring and hot.
