Senses Series Book 5

Review:

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

As depressing as it is to know the Senses series has come to its end, I can think of no better finale'. The intensity of the events throughout the entire book kept me on edge. Maxx and Logan's story is one I have to relive time and again. There is no better high. A lot of twists and "what if's" are headed your way if you are already anticipating this final installment. . Logan managed to capture my heart all over again with his vulnerability in Savor. Be prepared for some surprises. Logan managed to capture my heart all over again with his vulnerability in Savor.

I recommend the entire series for people romance junkies.

Chaos (Havoc #2) by Xavier Neal

Book Description:

Clint "Grim" Walker has always been clear about two things in his life: his love of his Marine career and his love for Haven Davenport.

His self-missions were clear: be the best Marine possible. Protect Haven at all costs.

But when the two objectives collide they leave his once stable existence in chaos.

Review:

I've been aching to read Chaos the second Havoc came to it's close.

Chaos is most certainly a suitable title as those are the feelings it provokes throughout the entirety of the book. At times I tried to reason through my distorted emotions that I had not heard or understood Haven's side during any of the messes their relationship finds itself. It's easy to relate to both protagonists.  It's just so intense and I know it hits so close to home for the typical areas relationship's tend to wander.  I wanted to throw something and I was felt pleasantly subdued at Clint's numbness and decisions.

Another 5 stars (until I read the next book hahaha).

Sia by Kia Carrington-Russell

Sia murdered the dishonorable King Taleb for his transgressions before resting in peace among her Spirit Pack. Saith and Keeley now rule over the Kingdom, endeavoring to restore peace and allegiance throughout the land. Their actions are clouded in secrecy so that their daughter—whom they named Sia—should remain protected and unaware. But what are they preparing for? Sia, now almost eighteen years of age, must face her own journey to discover the mysteries her world has to offer. In order to uncover her true potential, Sia must confront her feelings for Trim. When her name is called, she sees him cringe as he remembers the love he once held for the Great Phantom Wolf before her. Mistrust and lies decay the Kingdom’s solidarity. Sia’s curiosity is piqued by the fear that shadows all wolves: the threat of the humans. So what happens when she comes across one?

Sia is a Phantom Wolf. Neither dead nor alive—and rotting from the inside—she is on the edge of her curse. Once a Phantom Wolf has been created, they hunt their blood pack and slaughter all their loved ones. Except for Sia, who woke years after her death to find herself rampaging through the land on a lonely path. She continues to run from the rival pack that hunts her because she is a Phantom Wolf. Attracted to a scent, Sia finds her old best friend, who is now a grown woman. Having once saved Keeley, Sia takes the role of protector yet again, despite Keeley’s involvement with the mysterious Alpha, Kiba, and his kin brother, Saith. An ambush separates the pack and the four of them blindly fight the new warriors that attack them: desperately needing to find out where the attacks are coming from, as Sia has vowed to protect Keeley. But at what cost? Now being chased, Sia finds herself conflicted by the mortal and spirit world while trying to protect her kin. Sia must confront her fears, as well as the human lover who killed her many years before. It is not only survival Sia contends with, but her own façade that must be broken so that she may find peace within herself once more.

As the depth of the story consumed me those "odd" descriptives became comfortable and expected.  Phantom Wolf has an extensive emotional allure to it. The philosophy behind what I imagine to be the worst curse on can fathom had me wondering why more authors have yet to explore these basic instinctual vulnerabilities. Sia's experiences shattered my heart. The love and the strength she was able to maintain after an onslaught of tragedies is amazing. Kalib stole my heart from the beginning. His compassion and acceptance are his most endearing qualities. By the end I was bawling my bloody eyes out. A book that is so dynamic and can pull my emotions free so easily is a 5 star novel.

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review *

I truly enjoy the element of intrigue Mandy Dawson includes in her works. The lack of predictability combined with heavy emotional atmospheres ensuring to capture and harness a reader's attention.

There is more of Donovan's story to be told and is the primary focus in this tale. As for the female protagonist, Greta, there is much more to her than initially meets the eye. It seems much of the bantering that is created from the snarky female may be her wall of protection. The question is why? Some of those answers are certainly surprising and a little heart breaking.

The execution of the graphic scenes and explicit detail are tenfold the prior 2 books. That alone will keep Mandy Dowson's fans returning.

As more mythological creatures make entrance to this series, a deeper plot unfolds building much anticipation for the next book in the series. I personally cannot satiate my hunger for the Bound series.

While reading Pack and Parcel I realized Author Mandy Dawson had unexpectedly stolen my heart. Her storylines are beguiling and the emotional atmospheres are intoxicating.

Leesha and Wallace experience conflict as individuals securing their beautifully broken souls. The design of the Wolf society inflicts further complications for the two. As they are accepted and protected by our former protagonists, self-acceptance and alluding a life-threatening force impends their existence together.

Not only are there two new characters to instantly love, but the characters from Bound by Fate are present, true to their origins on the first book, and we are surprisingly allowed to be an audience to an anticipated event that includes a nice shocker element. A book that leaves me smiling like a lunatic is put on "repeat mode."
