My new favorite series...must read!

This series is the best! I fell in love with Kate Canterbary's writing style and characters after a dear friend gifted me with a signed copy of Necessary Restorations. I can visualize myself sitting in the Walsh offices (in the conference room) listening to their banter but most of all in the scenes she creates between the couples and characters. From Patrick and Andy to Riley (can't wait to see who he ends up with), I cannot get enough of the Walshes and cannot wait to see what Kate's next book brings. Each book is a stand alone but reading just one will definitely not be enough. You will want to know more about every member of the family and the other people in their lives. This series is a must read!

So frustrating to rewrite my reviews! After reading another book by this author I was looking forward to this new series. I was NOT disappointed. I was immediately drawn into this book. The author is able to make you feel what the characters are feeling and swoon for these men... especially Mason... oh my. Anyway, you will absolutely fall in love with the story and the people in it..... AND because these books in the series are already available, you won't have to wait...... Like I did!
Enjoy and you will thank me later.

LOVE THIS SERIES! Review to come soon!

OH...The Black Company, how you have won my heart!

Reasons you should read this series

1. Bad-ass Mercenaries
2. Band of Misfits
3. Magic and Creepy Ass Wizards(Goblin)<---Still love him!
4. Croaker as a narrator, hilarious and sometimes a weenie!
5. The Lady *shivers*
6. The Dominator <---Ok, I will admit, every time I read this my mind went into the gutter.
7. RAVEN! (view spoiler)
8. World Building AH-mazing!
9. The Characters, they're original and you really connect with them.

I love high/epic fantasy, and this was my first try into dark fantasy and I have to say that I'm a new fan. I just can't get enough of these guys. They make you feel ok with the wrong they do!

I recommend this to anyone that is ok with characters DYING!!! Ugh, my heart still hurts for those that perished.

4.5 out of 5 stars

This was so freaking good! Excellent introduction to the series that has my mind racing with a million questions. I cannot wait to read the next books. Im hooked!

This was seriously intriguing right from the start. I think everything was laid out extremely well. I really like Mac. She went through a lot in a short amount of time and sometimes she was completely overwhelmed. I love how she handles it all. I liked her internal dialogue, some of it was really humorous. I am completely fascinated by Jericho Barron's and can't wait for more details on him  I loved his bad ass attitude! He was just so in command and powerful. I was guessing who or what he was the entire story. The two of them have an interesting relationship because Mac wants answers and Jericho keeps secrets so there is a lot of tension. Theres an undercurrent of desire between the two of them as well and Im anxious to see how all that develops.

I loved the elaborate world that is being developed, all the paranormal findings about the fae and the cast of characters that have been introduced so far. Theres a nice build with lots of detail. Theres also a lot of new lingo to remember, Im really thankful a glossary was included or Id be lost.

The ending was great with a bit of drama. I liked the who-done-it element about who killed her sister, its dark and mysterious. While a lot was learned there is still a ton to be discovered and I will definitely continue. Im excited about where it could all go! I liked it so much that I ordered all the books that were available because I want to read the entire series.

A great foundation was made in Darkfever, Im really intrigued and so happy that I have a new series to read! Bring on Bloodfever!

This series was recommended to me by a friend who I share similar book tastes with but I was leery because this is not a genre I know much about...  I read this a little over a year ago and it was my first trek into a dystopian world... and I am HOOKED!!  I loved to watch the tough and unreachable Jas fall for the good girl Noelle.  It was fascinating to read about Eden vs the Sectors and to see as you read this first book that there are many stories yet to unravel... SMOKIN' HOT characters and story lines and scenes. Grab this and dive in, you WILL NOT be disappointed!

Oh my goodness am I glad I stumbled upon this series! It has been awhile since I found a series I really really like. The cover and title were intriguing enough, but I have given up on finding anything really different and worth reading besides the Black Swan series lately. I love Phaedra's writing style and  her magical world filled with amazing characters. There is so much potential in this one book that I could not put it down. Each character is unique, with strong gifts and personalities that work together....I can't explain it.

Samantha is an Elemental Witch, who just like her mother has a strong need and desire to protect others. Kyle is a Hedge Witch in a line where there have only ever been females born with power. Ivan.....wow in this day and age, I wish I had his power. Sheesh the things he can do. Then there is Crwwys who Sam has an intense attraction for, but broke off from a few months before because she doesn't know WHAT he is; Levi, Crwwys Revenant partner; and Grey, Sam's wolf familiar. Oh wait, there is also Robin, who happens to be Sam's human boyfriend. All together they make story that you just have to read!

This book was phenomenal, so much so that I promptly bought the next book just to find out what will happen next! I highly recommend this book!!!!

Hello, to my new favorite series.

I love Thatcher, wild guy high on life. I'm flippin ecstatic that his other half is just as Crazy as him.

This book was so funny, I barely put it down. I mean I was laughing and swooning all over the place. I've literally felt like I've hit the romcom jackpot with this series.

It had just the right balance of sexy and steamy. Cass and Thatch compliment each other so well, it's perfect. They are both pranksters at heart. Joking on each other and trying to push one another to the breaking point. Their banter is what book couples are made of. And the Big Fat Freaking (lol) Epilogue sealed the deal in all its Epicness << it's a word (I just made it up).

I've devoured the first three in as many days, now to wait and stalk Max Monroe until the rest are released. What a tough job that will be for me *sigh* but I'm up for a little challenge.

What a great new outlook to this series!
I couldn't get enough of Andi, she is the fiesty, stubborn, and bullheaded friend we all have telling us to take chances yet she is also caring and would put her life on the line for everyone she cares for (and a few she doesn't). I can see her being a new favorite, along with Kasen. He's the perfect amount of Alpha male with just a bit of humility to know he's not always the one that has to be in charge.
With both Andi and Kasen being pressured into choosing a mate they in list the one and only Gerri Wilder. Gerri is up the her bizzare matchmaking and as people have noticed, they aren't always what was expected. They were on the other hand exactly what the other needed.
Will there be fights? Will there be danger? Will there be a twist so big, no one will see coming? You will have to buy the book to find out.

Have you ever loved a series so much that you pace yourself when a new book becomes available? I have saved Book 8 until I could devote all my time and attention to it. Definitely worth the wait! Please start by reading Book 1, and I promise you will be addicted to this series as I am. I love all the characters, even the ones I love to hate!

I can't say enough how much I love this series! What an amazing book! I cried, I laughed, and I really cared for all the characters in the story.  I loved getting to read the story from the point of view of people other than just Jameson and Sway. There are quite a few grammatical errors and missing/wrong words throughout the book but please push past those and read the story!!!

I am so in LOVE with this series! Graceley Knox has bowled me over with her amazing world building. I want to stay immersed in Wicked Kingdoms and live there awhile - with Evers protection of course. She is K.I.C.K.A.S.S.

There is a lot happening in this book. It starts off right where book one ends. There is no slowing down Ever and her crew. Crown of Betrayal has a well thought out and put together plot with many twists and turns that make the journey so sweet. I have fallen in love with all of these characters (well, the good gals/guys). There are some seriously BAD, bad gals/guys too. Ive enjoyed watching them get their due.

The Wicked Kingdoms series is so much more than an awesome world to be in. The love story between Ever and Dare is intense, sweet, and hot - all at the same time. I love that their story is part of the over arching plot of the books. Theirs is definitely a story that takes more than one book to tell. You won't be disappointed.

Crown of Betrayal is a darker read than Mark of Truth (Book 1). Ever has many trials to go through and overcome. She and her crew are the very essence of what friendships should consist of: honesty, love, and loyalty. Friendship that we all hope to attain and consider ourselves lucky when we do.

Definitely read the books in this series in order. I highly recommend both. Im looking forward to Book 3. I cant wait to see what happens next! This is a series that I will read time and time again.

I started this series a day ago and have not been able to put my kindle down!  I've finished the 1st three books and can't wait to dig in the rest.  Nell Sweeney is the perfect blend of smarts, sass, and sweetness.  She is flawed but likeable, beautiful, and quietly reserved.  Her perfect man is Will...really just perfect, period.  He's uncompromising but sympathetic, powerful, brilliant, intense...and a man in love.  Did I mention tall, dark, and handsome?  He is the consummate gentleman to his lady.  It's wonderful to see their love unfold over the course of the series.  I'm only half-way through (it appears the series ends with book #6), but I'm so hopeful for their HEA.

I can't say enough about the author's writing style.  The 1st few pages grabbed me and I haven't been able to untangle myself from these characters and the mysteries.  Book #1 was a free kindle book, and as soon as I finished it, I willingly and happily purchased the rest of the series.  I highly recommend this series and look forward to add'l books by this author!

I'll try to do a review of the latter 3 books once I'm finished with the entire series, for book #6.

I absolutely LOVED this series!! I read a ton of reviews of on it before I got it and a lot of people were recommending to read the second one first. I did not. I wanted to read it how the author intended them to be read. After reading the first book I was hooked and wound up buying the entire set (there are 5 books). I literally didn't get much done outside of the house because I was so engrossed in this story. It was well worth the purchase and I cannot wait for the next book!
