The truce between the vampires and the shifters is long over. So when the two factions stumble upon a lost fae warrior who has no idea what she is, all hell breaks loose. Charity hasn’t had it easy. Growing up in a bad part of Chicago, left by her mother at sixteen, she’s a survivor. So when she gets a scholarship to a good college out in California, she thinks all her dreams have come true.… have come true.
Instead she falls head first into a nightmare.
At a posh party she doesn’t belong, she gets the shock of her life: vampires and shifters are real! Magic is real. And she is anything but a mundane poor kid just trying to make it.
Warrior runs in her blood. If only she knew how to use it.
Suddenly she is trapped between two magical super powers – a cunning elder vampire who wishes to use her for her blood ties and maybe tie her to the bed, and a sexy alpha shifter who will protect her at all costs.
Her life of surviving could’ve never prepared her for this. And if she doesn’t learn to harness the fae magic running through her blood, she’ll be imprisoned forever.
Action, humor, and romance- we’re going back to the DDVN World!

Wow, this is one book you don’t want to miss! A very powerful elder vampire is after Charity and somehow, when being chased and running for her life, powerful magic bursts from her to save her life. Where did it come from? Who is she really? Seams like everyone wants her, what’s she going to do? I love Charity, she’s sweet, caring, protective, smart, inventive, magical, determined and trying to do the best that she can to remain alive. This book is action-packed with adventure, danger, mystery, demons, vampires, werewolves, suspense, magic, romance, loyalty, friendship,secrets revealed and more. I can’t wait for the next book in this exciting new series!
Trapped (Warrior Fae,#1) by K.F. Breene is an extraordinary addition to the world created by this author. It is an imaginative paranormal romance filled with shifters, vampires, and more magical beings. There is not a character that I didn’t like or enjoy thoroughly. Charity, for all her spunk. Devon for his surliness. And, well, Vlad is always top notch. I was almost rooting for him. This is one of those books that is worth reading over and over again. It will never get old. This can be read as a stand alone although there are a few characters from Demon Days, Vampire Nights World that appear but it doesn’t make the story confusing. The author has a fantastic way of weaving them into the story. If you liked Born in Fire, you’ll like this one as well. I recommend it. Highly.
If you are unfamiliar with Breene’s DDVN world, you need to know there are vampires, shifters, demons, fae, and other magical types. Don’t let that make you think this will be just like all the other fantasy worlds out there. Breene’s characters are multi-dimensional. Case in point, Vlad, a vampire, who takes center stage as the bad guy here, but has many irons in the fire and even fights on the side of the ‘good’ in some of the other books in the DDVN world. The main protagonist in this book, Charity, seems mild mannered at first, but it is soon evident there is much more below the surface of her character. I don’t like to give too much away in reviews, but this chick is tough and itching for a sword in her palm! I don’t feel you have to read the other books first to thoroughly enjoy this one, but if you haven’t, you will likely be hunting them down after. Be warned, these books are hard to put down once you start them. Entertaining from start to finish! Can’t wait for the next book in the series!
Another utterly enthralling read from K.F. Breene as we get to go back to the DDVN world, I just don’t know how she manages to up the ante everytime and produces these stories that leave you enraptured and immersed in their world, so much so that I did not want to leave and found myself really quite resentful that I had to put my kindle down!! Book 2 can’t come quick enough for me!!!
In this story we are spending time with one of Roger’s wolf shifter packs headed up by a young up and coming sub alpha Devon who has shown some real good promise, he runs a tight knit pack that work together as a family, though he is known to be a bit stubborn and brusque and doesn’t deal well with things emotionally having had a real bad and rough upbringing. He doesn’t do relationships and only spends one night with a girl before becoming emotionally detached from her and moving on.
Charity lives life on the poverty line, having and owning next to nothing, having a full scholarship to school and being street smart and intelligent and keeping her head down and just working for her grades. She lives off campus with her affluent friend Sam and ends up being invited to an elite party due to Sam’s friend dropping out. Sam basically forces her to go and Charity is anything but comfortable going. Little do they know what they are about to walk into…..
Oh my goodness it was so good to be back in the DDVN world!!! Charity is an absolute star, full of street smarts, good at martial arts and has enough sass and banter in her to rival Reagan! I loved watching her magic start to seep out and her innate but untried ability in her magic, using and doing things on her feelings alone. She is completely oblivious to the magical world and everything about it, and her reaction to finding out about shifters and vampires was fabulous. Her run ins with Vlad the elder vampire from other books in the DDVN world was really exciting to watch and she tries out her powers on one of the most powerful vampires in existence!
Devon and his pack of shifter wolves were a real treat to watch too, they worked really well as a team and listened to their Alpha, so when Charity challenged Devon it always caused a bit of a stir. The times when she used her powers to challenge Devon’s alpha authority was stunning, you could literally feel the tension and the force of their challenge as you were reading, gave me goosebumps!
Devon is a great sub Alpha for Roger and is always trying to prove his worth to Roger and ends up in charge of capturing the newbie vampires incorporating Charity in the pack which adds a whole new level of oomph to their dynamics!! Devon is confused by his growing feelings for Charity and his protectiveness about her even though they end up fighting on many levels including physically when she needs to vent her frustration with her powers.
Lots of witty and sarcastic banter throughout the story, some fabulous one liners that had me howling, hot exciting chemistry and some wonderful appearances from other DDVN characters and you have a book that you just can’t put down. A very exciting and dramatic storyline that could have some huge consequences for the characters in DDVN world with the way the plot was going…..
Seriously, if you’re into fantasy / PNR then this DDVN world is not to be missed, brilliantly written, in a totally immersive world, I can’t recommended these highly enough. Book 2 is going to be a painful wait for me!!!
This book had me on the seat of my pants waiting for the next page to turn! I cannot wait for the next book! I highly recommend this book to read
What a great way to get back to the DDVN world. Charity is a fascinating new character with ties to the one we know and ties to the one we want to know more about. Dive in and hang on for a heckuva ride!
Wow! I love how this book intertwines with some of my favorite characters from the DDVN series. I couldn’t put this book down. Shifters are my favorites, so this book has jumped to the top of the list for me.
Charity is a poor kid who has successfully made it to college through hard work and dedication. Unfortunately, things turn upside down when a party’s events unfold. The story is entertaining and interesting. The characters are believable and relatable. The biting and witty sarcasm is quite entertaining! The slow attraction simmer between Charity and Devon is appealing. I was really glad that Vlad, in all of his bastardized glory, made a bigger appearance in this book. His machinations are boundless. Some of the other DDVN characters have a small side part. Looking forward to book 2!!
Immediately your heart will start pumping, making you wonder what is going to happen. Is the danger real or imagined. And just like that this book grabbed me and sucked me in.
The Queen has done it again and I love all of the new characters! Charity is, like all of her main female leads; a strong, independent, highly intelligent woman, who is struggling to make her dreams come true. She has been dealt a bad hand in life but she never lets that stop her and she rolls with the punches with determination. Devon is a sexy, hot bad boy with an even worse reputation. When the two collide in unexpected ways sparks will fly, literally and Charity’s life will never be the same.
Enter an old as dirt Elder Vampire (from the DDVN world, Vlad who is a character I love to hate) and you know this book will be interesting indeed! It’s a good thing this pack is becoming family because they will all need to be on high alert!
What a pleasure to get to immerse myself back in the DDVN world! Charity is a smart, brave, reckless, and wonderful heroine. As she emerges in the supernatural world with a bang, she meets Devon and his pack of Santa Cruz shifters. Coming from hard and traumatic backgrounds, it takes Charity and Devon a bit of stubborn back and forth to realize how important they are to each other, the pack, and the world at large, but with crisis after crisis coming down upon them, especially in the form of Vlad, their loyalty never wavers. With appearances by all of our favorites and the promise of an over all story line that is both exciting and full of passion and adventure, Trapped is a rewarding read that will suck you in and spit you out on the other side with a hope that book 2 isn’t too far behind. Such a great read!
Warrior Fae Trapped is the start of another amazing series in the same world as DDVN. If you have read the Fire and Ice and Magical Mayhem series then I 100% recommend reading this one as well. Charity, aka Chastity, is another awesome heroine that is going to be kicking a lot of butt. Per usual, there is also no shortage of humor in this book.
Ms. Breene has once again brought us a story featuring loads of action, adventure, and a kickin’ Heroine. Before this story, I admit, I hadn’t read any of the DDVN novels, so, of course, once I found one I had to read them all. I definitely suggest reading the ‘Fire & Ice’ and the ‘Magical Mayhem’ books before jumping into this one. You will be lost if you don’t. Warrior Fae Trapped introduces you to Charity, who is a welcome addition to the DDVN roster of Phenomenal, Kick-Behind, Heroines. I loved this story and I can’t wait to read more.
There’s something so wonderful about KF Breene’s books! Trying to find an analogy, I thought of comparing it to the high of a potent drug. But drugs come with too much baggage, so that doesn’t fit. Maybe it’s like eating chocolate without the burden of calories. Or like a house elf for christmas. Maybe a mute button for kids during tamper tantrums? Not really fitting, but all these gifts have one thing in common though: they make life better. Just like KF Breene’s stories do for me. Immersing myself back into the DDVN world and following Charity and Devon’s journey is pure pleasure and I always came up smiling and in a happy mood. What else can you wish for in a book?
Holy shifter babies! I’m loving Charity and Devon! Their magical bond is so unique and fun!
Once again Ms. Breene has weaved nothing but the best and this book is mind blowing!
The characters are delicious, but incredibly magnetizing!
As usual, the storyline is beautifully done with magic, sass and danger!
And the world building so fun, you can’t help but want to read this story over and over again!
Warrior Fae Trapped: Book #1 (DDVN World #7) by K.F. Breene is absolutely brilliantly magical. KF has rocked the house once again. Her stories know no bounds and her creative mind is like a playground where you want to go hang out. I love that she is true to herself when writing her stories and nothing is off the table. It shows with every word written. KF is a true master at weaving her weirdness and translating it into a world that is utterly enthralling and the characters are crazy and wild, sassy and strong and their badassery is to be commended. The sarcastic lines and witticism are a true masterpiece to behold. It is not just a story it is an experience.
I was unable to put this book down, I sat and read it in one sitting as I did not want to lose a minute of momentum. I found myself howling out loud at the banter and one liners, hubby thought I had gone insane.
Charity has street smarts and is brave and sassy and wild and reckless as well. She unwittingly comes across a world that she never knew existed and is clueless and oblivious to the danger around her. She is also more than she seems.
Devon is a sub alpha and runs a small pack of shifters and is still trying to prove himself to the top guy. He is also a one and done kind of guy and he has just found the one person on the planet that drives him insane but his find is more precious than any of them realise. His orders are to protect at all cost but can he fight the evil that is trying to steal her away.
Get crackalacking, if you have never read this type of genre before then dip your toes in the pool. I can guarantee you will love, love, love it.
A New Fae & Sexy Alpha vs An Old Enemy!!
Warrior Fae Trapped: Book #1 (DDVN World #7)
So we’re back in the ‘world’ of Reagan & Penny but this time we’re with the Shifters Sub Alpha Devon, runs a small pack in Santa Cruz. He’s young to hold the position he does but he’s earned it & doesn’t ever want their overall Alpha, Roger, to regret his decision or to break the trust he put in him by promoting him so young!!
Charity has led a life of extreme poverty but she’s always had her brains & street smarts. She’s made it on her own, with a full ride scholarship, to College in Santa Cruz & she’s loving it!! She’s got a huge crush on a guy, her dorm mate moved them into a small house (She couldn’t deal with the grossness of their room & a communal bathroom, so she called her Daddy to rectify the horror) and she even found a working laptop in the ‘lost & found’!! Then they’re invited to an exclusive party ….
Omg, it’s so good to be back in the DDVN World & this book absolutely rocked it!! Charity is almost a cross between Reagan & Penny, Well maybe a young Reagan She’s got her street smarts, tantalizing smell, she too is an unknown quantity plus she’s got put downs that equal a full body slam, they get worse, her snark is strong & grows in power!! But like Penny she’s clueless to anything other than humans, not even witches. She has no idea what she is, what she’ll be able to do & where it originated from! She’s also oblivious to the danger she’s stepped into, especially when an old enemy decides that she’ll be extremely useful to them!! I really enjoyed Devon’s Pack dynamic. Seeing them from the inside, up close & personal, was fascinating as well as amusing as hell, mostly. I loved Andy & Rods bitching, Andy was just a hoot in general though. Macy is kind & welcoming
This is the type of book that you get lost into. You won’t want to move, eat, talk, go to the loo – it’ll mean you have to put the book down! The bonds that are forged are hugely satisfying. The new information that’s discovered is shocking and some of it could have massive consequences for everyone in the Brink & The Realm! The new, & semi new, characters are as engaging, as I’ve come to expect with this Author’s writing & creativity!
I’m hoping Book #2 isn’t too far behind because the wait, after the revelations in this one, is going to be excruciating!! An unmissable & addicting series has just gone up yet another notch!!
Enjoy
