Minor spoilers that I'm sure most won't be surprised by....This will definitely check the boxes for readers who love a few different tropes: ✔ FMC who has been super sheltered her whole life due to an abusive situation ✔ FMC is something super special that hasn't existed ✔ Because of sheltered life, FMC is very naive (think, IMO, more than Sang from Ghostbird) ✔ Fated matesMaya is innocent and has next to no applicable knowledge of the world; in fact, she barely even understands the purpose of...

Who knew I'd love a book about a heroine who is naïve as all hell! I am normally one for a badass heroine. And Maya, she is definitely not that kind of heroine.Maya has had it tough her whole life. She's 17 and has been locked in the basement of her church where she lived with her mother and father. They beat her, said she had the devil inside her because she had supernatural healing abilities. Well one day her father dies and her mother moves Maya all the way across the US to get away from Maya...

I forgot how much I loved this book. I don’t even care. I love a naive and innocent heroine.

Simultaneously loved and hated itBy love, I mostly mean the idea of it. Premise whise, I was so excited and held high hopes for this. I don't, as a personal rule leave reviews under three stars but I had to force myself to finish this and can't bring myself to give it more than two. The rest of the review contains potential spoilers as I don't think I can fully explain why I didn't like this without them. I don't think it's that spoilery to mention Phoenixes, and I love them, they're one of my f...

Wow. I absolutely LOVE Maya. I mean, this main character is SO much more different that the badass women that Ms. Sinclair typically writes. Though she is nothing like M. Sinclair’s typical MCs, Maya is still very much a badass in her own way. She is a freaking SURVIVOR of 18 years worth of abuse and she’s not letting it get to her. This poor girl has been completely shut off from the world and locked in a basement for as much of her life as she can remember and following her father’s death, she...

Meh. I’ve read this before.Maya is a virginal Mary Sue of all the special who doesn’t know what a “date” is but somehow knows what a clit is. And she has insta-organisms in spite of a lifetime of abuse both physical and emotional and—- dammit authors who write this bull shit—have you ever researched how abused people act and feel and are actually f-cking traumatized? I know this is fiction but give me a break, at least TRY to ground your characters in real emotion. If you give them trauma, they

This book had me hooked This book while reminding me of another book i read and loved has some different aspects to it with the shifters. That ending is crazy and left me wanting to devour the next one

This is another okay fantasy reverse harem. To me, it kind of reads like a more developed fan fiction rather than a published novel. The main character has been incredibly sheltered her entire life and doesn't know slang or have any social skills. It makes her seem childlike, which is understandable, but then she's attracted to her dragon shifter mates and the steamy scenes seem almost creepy. Maybe a better balance of innocence and sexuality would have helped?I do like the fated mates trope and...

3.75 ish stars. Ok so I can't help but think that this is exactly what I wanted from "The Veil Diaries" except it starts in book 1. The guys and their relationship with the FMC remind me so much of that series that it was uncanny. The main difference would be that this series kicks things into start in book 1 rather than dragging it out for 7 books.. either way I love the chemistry between these characters as well as the camaraderie. Yes our FMC is completely naive and a little bit of a hot mess...

Surprise surprise, a reverse harem I didn't enjoy.I think I've already read this book before. Hmm, let me think. Oh yes I have. Hunted.The heroine has been sheltered her entire life because her cultish "parents" think she has a devil in her.The heroine's father dies and her mother takes her somewhere else. Her mother beats her all the time to get the devil out. The heroine runs into someone and is inhaling deep.The hero being run into is also inhaling deep as he growls at her mother's boyfriend

There is a glitch in the matrixI’ve read this beforeIf you take this book Hunted and this series Finding My Pack and this one Born of Embers oh and this one Bound Spirit...and probably 20 others I've forgotten...Roll them all up in 292 pages hello Reborn in FlamesI got so tired of this coming up in my amazon recs and I’ve read Sinclair before and know she’s pretty good- I just gave in and tired it already.To be honest I’m a total sucker for this kind of story-line but I do think we might all nee...

Loved it! An easy 5-star book!

This book was okay...and that’s fairly underwhelming as I was prepared to get blown away for what ever reason. My fault. This is gonna be a long one, so grab your popcorn.I’ll start with the characters as they are always one of the most important part of the book to me.Maya: She’s our heroine and has grown up in a basement of a church, getting abused by her father, the Pastor and her mother. Neither are her actual parents though. Maya is a very naive heroine to say the least and I didn’t dislik...

On My Toes! 👣Wow, M. Sinclair, you kept me on my toes with this book. Seriously, you planted so many sub-stories within this book I can only imagine what the remaining books of this series will unfold. At no point reading this book did I feel it would be predictable that I could even guess what will pop up in the next chapter! Bravo, M, because so far I find myself quite impressed more then usual with your work and writing skills. I'm truly hoping that book two be just as explosive and this one....

I've read this story at least 2 other times. buncha dudes, phoenix lady, some abuse. Over and over and over and over.... To say the least it didn't really bring anything new to this type of plot line. For once I wanna see someone pick something reaaally weird for a mythological creature. Like a Jackalope. or a Squonk. Also was a little weirded out by her being super young and innocent with all the leering the love interests did. It wasn't badly written, just wasn't mind blowing content.

Loved ItSo far, this has been my favorite M. Sinclair book. I love how sweet Maya is and while she is naive and innocent, she isn't stupid. She is also pretty strong and just cute. So far, I like all of her mates, but I'm looking forward to learning more about them as things move really fast in this book and not a whole lot of "getting to know you" instances take place.One thing that I'm happy about is that this book doesn't end on a cliffhanger, but there are still plenty of things that can hap...

I found the backstory of the female lead to interesting. She was physically and mentally abused - yet still had hope. She knew she had to get away to survive. No seconding guessing or wimping out.Life gave her lemons and she made the best of it.

RH. 7 guys and Maya. Just read it. You're welcome

3/5 starsOk so obviously I liked it, because I read it within like a day. It was just a lot... I don't even know where to start.There were a lot of guys... They seemed to honestly seemed to appear from everywhere. Oh and then (view spoiler)[ Croy or whatever his face, ALSO turned out to be with her!! What! Apparently that doesn't always happen. (hide spoiler)]Also Atlas seemed just like a useless character, even though he is my favorite. It was at first the five, then he joined and the list jus...
