Beautiful story with beautiful messages within. Nice for both adults and children, or to read to children as well.

Age of Arrogance is the third book of the Legacy of Boulom. It's genuinely a GLORIOUS end to the trilogy, I'm sad that it's over but I'll definitely be rereading this series. A MUST READ! (Check out book 1: Platinum Tinted Darkness)
The book can be considered a high fantasy, with an amazing storyline and with romance as subplot. Magic, mages, different species, Gods, found family, politics, warfare and so much more. If this appeals to you, you'll love this trilogy!

The Alpha's Redemption is book 6 of the series but could be enjoyed as a standalone. Though I would recommend reading the series in order.
I'm giving it 4/5 stars because the ending was a tad rushed, we don't know what happens to Marcos' sister and that felt crucial for this book as well, it didn't feel realistic that in the epilogue they were all just happy and weeks had passed with no mention of his sister? Nor about how high society of the wolves responded to Reef's mate, which he had feared for so long, as well as being pardoned again to begin with - I feel like that would have been an important conversation and it was now rushed into an epilogue where they moved past all that.
That said, I absolutely LOVED this book and definitely recommend it to any werewolf fantasy and supernatural lovers.

This book had a lot of potential and it's a fun and wholesome read, more romance-focused then anything else. There isn't really a storyline going on other then the romance. Which if you want a fun, lighthearted, found family and romance focused book about werewolves and pack life, will definitely be enjoyable for you.

Healing Mate is a supernatural fantasy/romantasy, with some spice in it and a very interesting and mysterious storyline. I love how much depth this storyline had, as well as the amount of diverse characters in the story.
I can't wait to read book 2 of The Chosen Wolves series, when it gets there! Definitely recommend.

The Alpha Stole Me is a supernatural romantasy, edging on the dark romantasy in omegaverse.
It was an enjoyable read, the only thing that bothers me is that, when she found out his true intentions, there was no anger/hurt/betrayal, just mere acceptance and desire. That felt unrealistic and wasn't as satisfying. This is about her family after all.
There was also an inconsistency/contradiction at the end where her father called to let Damien know he knew who he was, and that he's coming. But then they fuck and mark each other, and not only doesn't her father and brothers show up, which makes no sense since they now knew where to find her, she also didn't leave instantly after Damien agreed to let her talk to her family. They stayed days to fuck and then went?? And in those days they hadn't found her, seriously? That's just frustrating and unrealistic. He knew where she was, her father and brothers and hell even Sam and her friends would have all come immediately since they thought she was in danger.
So those things could have been executed better, but the rest was an enjoyable read.
