Review: Wings of Strife was GUT WRENCHING!! This book began right where we ended book 2 and oh man did Victoria take us on a journey! Hayliel and her men rally around her in this book and I loved seeing them all come tighter and also become more of a unit. Seeing Hayliel begin to grow into her destiny was also amazing since we finally see her gain curiosity about what makes her so different. 

This book kept the mystery alive and while Victoria gives us bits and pieces to piece together in this book, she still keeps us I the dark for a lot. I adored the way Ezekiel finally pulled his head out of the dark and became her number one supporter. I loved his character since book 1 and finally seeing him come around was everything. I also found that he was one of the males who really drove the story home. The way he and Hayliel bonded in this book sent tears to my eyes and I also appreciated how Victoria really put time in having him mend fences (in his terms) with the guys.

Wings of Strife is high action, high intensity and high fantasy. The spice is hotter. The banter is steamier. And the tension is escalated from the first page. Victoria was able to wrap us up in the adventure but also give us a book that kept us on edge with glimpses at a happy ending. Hayliel’s story once again ends in a cliff hanger but the end is so close I can taste it now!

Rating: 5/5, an epic third installment to Hayliel’s romance with a major cliffy you never expect!

Thank you Completely Booked PR & Victoria Pauley for the ARC!
