About this book
Welcome back to the Grove. Now, lets take a vacation to Hell.
Jackson: I'm the king of a Ruined Kingdom. My city crumbling at my feet as the man I thought I loved destroys everything my family built while the blood of my sister is still on his hands. Now I'm scrambling to rebuild and save those I love while also trying to convince both my mates we are better together then apart. The problem? The voices in my head keep telling me I'm not enough and I don't know if I'm strong enough to fight all these battles and win.
Dios: I ran from my family long ago, finding a new one in Gothic Grove. I never thought the man from my dreams was real until he dropped into the bar one day. Now, I'm fighting along side him. Unable to walk away despite knowing how this will end if I ever give into the mating bond. It doesn't help that the little reaper who haunts him calls to my wolf, calls to me to hunt her down and sink my teeth into her.
Arcanna: I never intended to see Jackson again. I had no interest opening up the coffin that I buried our story in. Yet here we are. Fighting side by side once more and my body doesn't want to deny our bond any longer. Not to mention the added complication of the Primal Knight's Sergeant-at-arms who can't seem to stop looking at me like he wants to hunt me down and devour me. Good thing I don't mind a chase.

This is my favorite book in the Gothic Grove series. I loved reading all of the different character POVs and getting deeper into the plot of this series. I honestly don’t want to say too much because I worry about spoilers since you need to read the series in order. Harrowlena was my favorite POV to read. I really feel for her journey, and as much as she would frustrate me at times, I love her so much and I’m really hoping she gets to work through all that she’s been through. What I really want...

All of our characters come back together in this most recent installment of the Gothic Grove series, however, the story is particularly focused on Harrowlena. Harrow is put through the absolute ringer! I had so much empathy and frustration for her because she’s really just taken advantage of and manipulated so deeply. She has completely become a puppet for Oisin. Even when faced with facts and examples, she still just cannot let go of this man. By the end of this book, I was sobbing. I have...

I am obsessed with this series! I was unprepared for how emotionally attached I would get to Jax! I sobbed for him and his mates. I swear he is top tier, up there with Shadow! This book in the series was action packed and spicy as all get out! I am blown away by these characters. Honestly right up my alley. Scratches all the itches in my brain. Highly recommend this series if you are into dark paranormal fantasies. This series has it all for you. Of course check trigger warnings because your...

I’ve binged this series over the last 2 weeks. And my honest review was they are a lot. You can tell the author has a bigger plan in place as you’re reading the books. There are character you can tell have their own stories and we don’t know them, but the author does. The world is created with that in mind, just like real life, you don’t know everyone’s story. Overall, I would recommend the series. Interested to see what happens next. )

If there's one thing I know, it's that Jac's side characters will always have me in chokehold and catch me by surprise. I fully anticipated all the great development between Jax, Dios, and Arcanna... But my love for Harrow and Luz was the shining factor. Harrow's story is so deeply rooted in the relentless trauma and her trying to discover who she really is outside of the abuse she experienced that I couldn't help but feel for her. She is troubled, makes horrible mistakes and I can't help but...
