This is the final book in the series. I wish it didn’t have to end. This series touched me so deeply that it will live in my heart forever. I’ve read a lot of books, a lot of series, but none more emotionally triggering than this one. Poppy Woods and Kendra Moreno created such an amazing world within this series that you can literally see it as you read and the characters are so well developed that you will either love them or hate them; sometimes both all at once. I found myself lost within the pages of this series to the point everything else fell away until I was left feeling as if I was a true part of the story.
This whole series has been amazing. The characters and world’s are well built and easy to become attached to. This book runs the gamut of feelings easily bringing all the emotions out. I love how well the authors do at mixing steam, violence, and romance while still giving a good story. It is the perfect ending to the series wrapping up the main story line while still leaving it open enough that it could be picked up or spun off of in the future.
Must read series
This series was an absolutely beautiful read. I will be honest it took me a little bit to get fully invested but once I did this series was a great read. The journey that Ila took from the first book till this book was a special thing to watch. These two authors created a world that you couldn’t help but to get drawn into. Each relationship that Ila had with her men were as different as the kingdoms and flowers that they represented.
This book featured growth, heartbreak, love, betrayal, friendship and sooo many lessons. While this might be the end of this series I’m hoping we will see more of them possibly in another series. Aengus, Aldro and Lumia.
This was the perfect ending to an epic, high fantasy series. When Kendra Moreno and Poppy Woods come together to write, they are truly magical. This is now one of my favorite series that I will be re-reading anytime I need an escape from reality. Blossom hits all the right feels and culminates in an immensely satisfying end to the battle that has been building through the series. One thing I really appreciated about this book is that it didn’t just end once the main battle was wrapped up. I was pleasantly surprised at how many chapters were still ahead of me to read. Kendra and Poppy continued on with Ila and crew to tie up several more loose ends. They also left room for more to be written with other characters, which I really hope they do. If you’re reading this review to see if this is a series you want to invest in, do. It is well worth your time and money.
Great ending to the series. It is full of action and twists until the very end. The story is full of emotion and keeps you interested until the end.
I loved it , Ila, story had me crying and rooting a bloody murder I wanted to see everyone laugh and cry with me on this book.. Best series I’ve read this year hands down..
This is the last, and best. You have great characters, and so much happening. Twists and turns, omg moments, and wtf. You will laugh and cry, then laugh some. Promise you wont be sorry. Come take the journey with Ila and all her mates.
Love love love this series!! I’m honestly sad that this is the final book in the series. Kendra Moreno and Poppy Woods did an amazing job creating a world and story that will definitely stick with me. Blossom wraps up the plot and Ila’s journey perfectly.
i cannot believe this series is over! fabulous from beginning to end. Poppy and Kendra are an amazing author team
This series, gahd…. its over… we don’t want it to be over, but it’s over.
This last one has the ending it deserves! Doesn’t mean I’m glad its over, they could have keep written in this series and I would have kept on reading. This world is so amazingly built. The characters so uniquely all their own.
This series deserves all the love it should get and more!
And just like that, its over…. (or is it?).
I’m honestly hoping this isn’t the last of the stories that come out of this world. I don’t want to let them go, which I guess would be a weird thing to say seeing as this isn’t real life, just fantasy, but if you’re like me you’ll know what I mean.
These 5 books truly take you on a journey, of pain, love, betrayal and self discovery.
Like I said, i’m really hoping this isn’t the end BUT if it is, its ok. These authors closed out this last book in such a way that more CAN follow BUT if it was to end like this, well, all the important questions have been answered (i’m sure they can think of more though lol). This book doesn’t end on a cliffhanger.
I hope y’all who read it love it as much as I do and REVIEW it… Maybe we’ll get more stories from this world.
This was an absolutely epic ending for Ila and her mates. It was a rollercoaster of emotions the whole way throughout the entire book with twists and turns you don’t see coming but it comes together so perfectly in the end. Kendra and Poppy absolutely outdid themselves with this series and it is definitely one I would read again, even with all the heartbreak. This series quickly became one of my favorites and will forever be in my top 10. I can’t recommend it enough.
