NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan returns to her bestselling Dante’s Circle series with a collection of four never before published and highly anticipated romances.FALLEN FOR ALPHASLiam and Alec watched their Pack fall from grace and fought with tooth and claw to make it rise from the ashes again for the Alpha. Once from rival families and now true packmates, they’ve fought their attraction … their attraction for longer than they should have. Now, as they leave the den in search of a rogue wolf, they’ll finally have a chance to entice their wolves—if they can overcome their struggles and survive what lurks in the darkness.
AT LAST SIGHT
Jonah assumed he’d seen everything there was to see throughout his long life. He battled dragons, lions, and anything else that came across his path. Now, it’s his job to protect the cubs under his care—something far more dangerous than anyone ever counted on. But when he comes to face to face with Dante’s sexy new bartender, everything changes. From his first look into those silver eyes, he was lost. But they’re eyes that can kill if the world isn’t careful, and some want them for their own.
BLOOD’S FIRST KISS
Calypso’s position as a representative on the Conclave for all mermaids is in jeopardy if she can’t uncover the true lineage of a mysterious stranger. Especially since his mere presence seems to rock the already shaky foundation of their people.
Micha knows exactly what he is: the one supernatural being that everyone claims cannot exist. And he’s been searching eons for his mate. Now that he’s found her, all bets are off. But he must keep his past a secret, no matter the consequences.
REAPER’S SONG
He remembers his death. Even remembers parts of his life. But as a newly made reaper, he must do the one thing he knows he cannot: reap his soul mate. No matter that she can see death coming.

Such a great pleasure to get more books in one of my favourite series.
Nice to get conclusions and HEA’S for certain characters, even if these are too brief for my reading pleasure.
FALLEN FOR ALPHAS
Not a fan of m/m books but enjoyed this even though it was a bit too easy the way everything played out.
Skipped the sex scenes.
But I enjoyed going back to revisit old friends, the little we get of them.
Was switching between audible and reading but kept laughing whenever Dante spoke. Just didn’t sound or speak like I believe he would or how he was in my head, so finished that story by reading.
AT FIRST SIGHT
Enjoyable having a Medusa being a character and a leading one at that.
Unfortunately, this just wrapped up too quickly and felt rushed. The epilogue sort of gave us answers to what had happened.
Not sure I liked Jonah’s back story in what he tells us. Always feel the mate is second best in such circumstances.
BLOOD’S FIRST KISS
Interesting but just too short to do such a convoluted storyline justice.
Found Misha mysterious and intriguing but just don’t learn enough about his people. Is Misha the ruler, king, leader, what?
Loved having Caly and the others be in this one, even if only right at the end and very slightly.
REAPERS SONG
Such a wonderful feeling when I realised who this was about but also tragically sad. I remember crying reading the original story and though this is a good ending for now, we still have questions that need answering.
Well done Ms Ryan for writing these. I do hope we will one day get more.
Read through Kindle Unlimited.
I loved the original Dante’s Circle books and was SO excited to get more. These are shorter books but written just as well. Nothing feels rushed. I loved going back into this world and will return often.
I absolutely loved getting the chance to go back to this series. All the side characters that I wanted to see how they would get their HEA have gotten them and It was everything!
Fallen for Alpha: While I didn’t think Liam and Alec would fight against fate so hard, it made their union so much better. Add Mili to the mix and I has liters heart eyes.
At Last Site: I think my favorite part of this story was finally getting Medusa (my favorite) and I love the twist with the sisters. I wanted Jonah to find his HEA Soooooo bad while reading Dante’s series, I felt like he deserved to find so much happiness and I’m glad he finally did.
Bloods First Kiss: A supernatural that’s even mythical to the other supernaturals! I loved getting Calypso story, I really liked her in Seths story and wanted to see more of her.
Reaper’s Song: This was BEYOND unexpected. I didn’t think C.A.R. Could throw me with such a twist. But TBH in my heart of hearts I crossed my fingers and hoped for it to be possible! I know that SO much isn’t the same for Ashen from who he was before but just the fact that he and his family get the chance had me sobbing. Really Ashen and Eva were the perfect last couple for this. I almost feel that ending with the Banshee and Reaper completes the whole circle.
A return to our favorites with new matches in Dante’s Circle Reborn. I was a little confused at first whether I was going to be reading stories about characters I had already fallen for or new ones. And would I need to re-read the previous stories to catch up. These are new stories, and I didn’t feel that I had to catch-up with the previous stories first. The four were all easily read.
In Fallen for the Alphas, Alec & Liam were hot. It took being pushed together for them to even look at each other. The pack was surprised at the end by the roles each of them took. What was expected isn’t always the best and Liam and Alec managed to figure this out.
At Last Sight had Jonah as a strong protector but also looking to help Poppy. Poppy has a lot more she is running from and a lot more to hid in order to keep others safe. I really enjoyed the sweet story of Jonah taking Poppy along with her self-discovery.
Blood’s First Kiss, Calypso and Micha are a whirlwind of fun and mystery. Micha keeping everyone on their toes about him.
Reaper’s Song was a pleasant ending, literally. After all doesn’t a Reaper deserve some love too? And how!
These couples were definitely worth the read!
Four stories in one fantastic book.
Fallen for Alphas-Nice quick into to the group. Liam and Alec are the best. Just reading these few chapters had me wanting to dive right into more stories of the others and finding out how they got where they are in this story.
At last Sight-Medusa and a Jaguar nice. This one was good because it put a whole new spin on the stories of Medusa.
Blood’s First Kiss-Mermaids and Vampires it was intriguing for sure. Loved how Caly was a high up on a council. It was nice to see that change instead of damsel in distress.
Reaper’s Song-A Reaper and a Banshee really this book just keeps getting better and better. Loved the twists and turns this story gave the characters.
All in all, I really wish I had more on each of these stories. Incredibly unique take on the shifter paranormal realms and characters. Nothing was a given like some stories. I cannot wait to go find more of what Carrie has written.
can’t get enough of this world and these stories!
How wonderful to see some of these characters finally get their story. Really enjoyable, great characters, and fantastic stories.
I think I’m going to cry this was a favorite series of mine and it was so good to go back for a few more stories. Fallen For Alphas, At Last Sight, Blood’s First Kiss, and Reaper’s Song were all so amazing and I am so glad we got to revisit some of my favorite characters. This was the perfect way to send this series off by tying up a few storylines that the fans really wanted to know about. I hope we can see them again maybe with their children that would be awesome.
I thoroughly enjoyed all the books in the Dante Circle series
Though I am not new to Carrie Ann Ryan who I found last year and now automatically one click, I am new to her Dante’s Circle series. This was a great introduction to this series with four stories within this world. Narrated by Aiden Snow, I was quickly consumed by the stories and their characters.
In Fallen For Alphas, we meet Liam and Alec Their chemistry is intense, but there seems to be a lot of history between them. Can they find a way to work together and find their united future?
At Last Sight introduces us to Poppy and Jonah. Jonah was so protective, even as Poppy tried to keep at arm’s length. But he was immediately taken by Poppy and will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
In Blood’s First Kiss we have Calypso and Micah. This one was a bit different A mermaid and a someone who was supposed to be a myth. Yet now here they are together and have to decide how much to trust. Will he trust his mate before it’s too late?
Reaper’s Song has a reaper doing the one thing he cannot, reap his mate. Ashen is starting to remember the life he had before becoming a reaper. When he sees Eve, he cannot do what is essentially his purpose now. What will happen next?
I absolutely loved meeting these characters and hearing their stories. I am excited to go back and read more from Dante’s circle.
Happy listening!
I enjoyed the collection of 4 stories in this book. I was able to follow along well for not having read any of the preceding stories in this series. My favorite was Jonah and Poppy’s story, “At Last Sight”, as it reminded me a lot of the Talon and Redwood series books. I didn’t particularly care for “Blood’s First Kiss”, only because it is a far reach for mer-people and vampires to be mated. Good story, but not my favorite out of this collection. The other two stories were both well told and looped into the entire collection. Again, for not having read any of this book’s predecessors, I was able to gather a good overall sense of the characters and general understanding of what took place prior. Well done Carrie Ann!
4.5/5 stars
If you are a Dante’s Circle fan you will not be disappointed. We have four new stories in this series. I loved this collection, each story gave me something to gush over. I was so happy to get Liam and Alec’s tale! I had been hoping to get to meet their mate and I loved getting some closure to their story. I highly recommend not only this collection but all the other books in the series. They are awesome and you will love them as much as I did.
This was my first of this series by the author. It was four novellas to give closure to these characters from the series whom hadn’t gotten their HEA. It is able to be read as a standalone without the other books but I’d like to see how it all began and plan on reading them soon. Overall they were well done and gave a complete story for the characters in the short stories. I enjoyed them.
This was a great story. During the Dante’s Circle series we saw some characters that intrigued us but were not main characters so we never saw their happy ever after. This story touches on all the characters we loved and never got any closure for. Liam and Alec, Jonah, Calypso, and my all time favorite who I am not going to spoil for you, however I was so freaking excited when I realized who it was and you will be too!!!
Such a great read, I savored the story!!
Dante’s Circle Reborn was a really nice collection of short stories by Carrie Ann Ryan. It was really nice to get a look back at the original group from theses stories and have some other happy endings as well. The last story was probably my most favorite and I loved the complete wrap up of all the stories. Great conclusion to a great series. Thanks for the peek back into that universe!
Fallen For Alphas – Alec and Liam have been friends for years but that isn’t all they are. When they are sent on a mission they are no longer able to deny the feelings between them and the fact that they are mates but it will require all the skills they have to make it back alive
At Last Sight – Jonah is a jaguar shifter who is a natural protector while Poppy is a woman who is in danger and needs protection. They both thought they were destined to never always be alone, but they are about to realize that all they really need is each other.
Blood’s First Kiss – Calypso is a mermaid who is tasked with finding out who dared to interrupt their Conclave meeting. Misha is a man with special powers who knows that Calypso is his mate, but will he have to choose between his love for and loyalty to his species?
Reaper’s Song – Ashen is a reaper who has been given his latest target however finding out that the person is his soul mate becomes a game changer. Eva knew that her time was coming but she is about to find out that love can overcome anything including her imminent death.
This book sends you on an adventure where you not only get to catch up with characters we know and love, but we get to know some new ones and their stories as well.
Highly entertaining, action packed, sexy, fun and emotionally thrilling adventure filled with dangerous, exciting and engaging charters, witty and memorable dialog and heart racing twists. Could not put down this edge of your seat exciting journey!
Now I cant wait to read the first seven

Great set of stories to bring you back into the Dante’s circle world. I loved the original stories of this series and was so glad to see that there was going to be a return. These are paranormal romances. I loved all of them and after having a small return to the world I hope there will be more I the future. You don’t have to read the original to enjoy these stories but I feel you get more from them if you do.
I loved this so much! Especially the last story!
