Why you so obsessed with this series??? Ummm cause it’s freaking fantastic.
Storyline is top tier and the spice is off the chain for most of the series.

The characters are easy to like minus a select few.

Please read my warning and the authors on the triggers. Chapter 14 is ROUGH. Necessary but rough.

Also Maria is my spirit animal

This was a hard read

Hard read due to all of the strong emotions. My heart just kept on breaking with all the stuff happening to Big. We finally get some happiness towards the end and Viv accepts becoming the queen she was meant to be.

This book had me feeling a rollercoaster of feelings! It was such a heartbreaking but amazing addition to this series. In Defending Hope we pick up right where the last book left off. Viv has been captured by Vadik and her men are scrambling to try to find her, but with their mate bond not working it is making it hard to find her. Luckily they do not let that stop them. Meanwhile Viv woke up in a new place with a huge surprise or should I say surprises. The trauma that Viv goes through in this book can be triggering to some, but this is made clear before you start the book. I will admit I sobbed during this book, but watching Viv bounce back and show her strength was incredible. She is such a strong fmc! And I think I have a new favorite character which is Maria! She is a hoot! I cannot wait to see what happens next!

This book was absolutely amazing and an emotional rollercoaster for sure! This book is definitely darker in tone and touches on some very real aspects of loss, trauma, and pain. This book brings out a very different side to Viv and her Wolf, but the incomparable bond between them is stronger than ever. As Viv, and her Wolf, deal with grief they must fight to to protect those they love and not lose hope. Their strength and resilience is astounding!

I really like the dynamic Elizabeth Knight painted with Viv’s mates. They all had to band together and trust one another completely to find and get Viv back. As a reader we got to see such different sides of each of Viv mates as they dealt with the temporary loss of their mate, because let’s be honest, they were getting her back, there as not doubt about that.

We also got to see a completely new side of the werewolf world. I won’t spoil anything, but I will say there will be some big twists and turns you never see coming! This book added a new complexity and layer to the story and it packed a punch! I loved the dips and turns Elizabeth Knight gave us as we were reading! I genuinely cannot wait to see what Book 4 has in store for us!
