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.

This was amazing!!!
I want to start this review by saying that this is not a full novel, there are 4 short stories in here about side characters in the Dante’s Circle series. And as an enormous Dante’s Circle fan I loved it!!! It has been a while since I last read Dante’s Circle so I added which characters are from what ‘main’ book in this review. I reread 2 of the books before continuing with the short story related to it because I just cannot stand not remembering the full backstory, so for the people like me here you go.
Fallen For Alphas:
The first story is about Liam and Alec, and this is the one I’ve been looking forward to the most! It did not disappoint and it is amazing! Liam and Alec are Hunter’s best friends from An Unlucky Moon, and I think there are a lot of people that have been waiting for their story. Well here it is, and it is so worth it!
At Last Sight:
The second story is about Jonah, Malik’s friend/father figure/bodyguard from Prowled Darkness. This is one of the stories that I read again because Jonah was just a little foggy for me after all that time. In this story we also meet an amazing new kind of supernatural, I have a personal love/fascination with this kind so yay more awesomeness. Even though I was not waiting for this story it lured me in and I ended up hooked!
Blood’s First Kiss:
Another new kind of supernatural, but shocker this one is new for the characters as well (even Dante, weird right?!) It follows Seth’s sister Calypso (LOVE the name!), Seth is from An Immortal’s Song for those of you that would like to reread (I did, because I loved it but also because I wanted to check if I missed anything about Calypso). This story is pretty shocking , and might go a little fast because it is a short story but I’ve accepted it and I still really like it
Reaper’s Song:
So this story is a little different and left me hungry for more Dante’s Circle (or related spin-off) because it opens a whole new species (I think species is the best word) but also seems to change the rules as we know it from this ‘universe’. I also can’t/won’t say anything about the characters because in essence these characters are new, even though there are some ties to previous stories. I, personally, caught on to them pretty fast but I will not spoil anything for anyone because it is so much more fun to go in unknowingly. Also no need to reread any stories for this, because all will be explained… Ominous right? I’m going for a tone that makes you curious. This story might be my favourite of the 4, so I would definitely recommend!
A little more general, the stories take place after the main stories and follow each other in chronological order. You might also notice a sort of red line throughout the stories that end in one of the last chapters and might lead to more books (I really, really hope so). I loved these stories and if you decide to read it as well I hope you will love it as much as I do. For those of you that have never read Dante’s Circle, you can read this story as a stand-alone but I wouldn’t recommend since it makes more sense and is a lot more fun if you have read the rest of the series. I would however strongly recommend you to read this series, just start at Dust of My Wings.
Dante’s Circle Reborn is packed with four incredible books, that will captivate and consume you. From the first page to the last your hooked. Shifters, mates, love and friends this is an amazing read.
This book was such a joy to read because not only did the 7 lightning struck and their mates appear throughout but we got stories from some of the background characters that were aching for their HEA. This book was written in the true spirit of the original series and I loved it.
What a great set of songs! I had not read any of the series before and I did not feel like I missed a thing. These stories are so full of heart and emotion! Somehow the author managed to give just enough detail without giving too much and still focusing on the characters. So hard to do! Can’t wait to go back and read the rest of the series!
A perfect ending to an amazing series. I loved going back to witness the growth of Dante’s Circle as characters we loved find their HEA. Each novella adds more to the world we fell in love with with its unique characters that fall for each other. I highly recommend this newest release for fans of this series that keeps on giving.
Loved every bit of the four stories in this book. From Alex and Liam finally giving in and voicing what is in their hearts, to Jonah finding his mate when he wasn’t looking, Poppy runs from him at first but wow, these characters that Carrie Ann brings forth, just amazing, she’s a Medusa.
Caly and Misha are quite a pair, who would have thought a mermaid and a vampire, theirs is a great story, so much action, so much fun to read. And last but not least is the story of a Reaper, this one was very emotional for me. He is sent to take the soul of his mate, how fickle is fate. Some twists and turns with this couple, you won’t want to miss.
Holy crap when we last left Dante’s Circle, I thought it would be the last we were there then Carrie Ann Ryan gives us the stories we wanted plus gave us back one we didn’t want to see leave us!!
We get To see all of our favorites as these stories unfold, calypso gets her Vampire mate, we finally get to see Hunters best friends make their life together and take their proper place in the pack to help Hunter run it, then we get the bear we did not want to lose come back and get his happy ever after he might be a Reaper but Torren is still the loved bear we lost in Dante’s book
Dante’s circle reborn is the newest book in the Dante’s Circle series! This is a fantastic box set of four novellas. In this book the secondary characters from previous Dante’s Circle books finally get their happily ever after. Each novella gave us a glimpse in to the world we fell in love with. This was the perfect way to to finish this amazing series. I really enjoyed going back to Dante’s Circle, this was an amazing book!
I cannot even express how ecstatic I was to find out that we were getting to go back to Dante’s Circle! This was my first series by Carrie Ann Ryan that I flew through, so I was beyond thrilled to go back. And she did not disappoint!! There are new supernaturals right along with our favorites, and it completely hits you in all the feels . I didn’t want it to end!!! It’s a perfect addition to the series!!!
I hadn’t read the previous stories in this series but they all stand alone so I was able to follow along perfectly. Each story is so good in its own right with different shifters and magical beings that I was in my own fantasy world. I couldn’t put them down and I am so glad they’re all in one set because I might have not gone to sleep until I finished them all.
For those who loved Dante’s world this is a must read. We get to say hello to old friends that we had met before and met some new characters that become friends. Each story had brought some closure and allowed us to catch up on the lives of the seven. This is a must read if you love the original seven.
This one is for the fans! Four fantastic novellas following up on some fan favorite secondary characters.
FALLEN FOR ALPHAS
Liam and Alec finally get their heads out of their posteriors and admit what everyone’s known all along.
AT LAST SIGHT
Jonah is content with his life until he meets a damsel in distress who happens to be his fated mate. He’s got some things he can teach her but they have to survive first.
BLOOD’S FIRST KISS
This is an adorable tale of a mermaid and her mysterious beau. Dante and the seven help take on the council. H such fun!
REAPER’S SONG
Oh the feels. What happens when a Reaper is sent to collect the soul of his fated mate? Find out in this fun story. This will answer a couple of lasting questions as well.
This is a very enjoyable collection of four amazing romances. Each of the included reads features a well crafted and engaging story line, enticing characters and plenty of deep emotions. This book is a real treat for fans of this series as it ties into it beautifully and gives readers a chance to revisit old friends and get an update on their lives.
A magical, steamy, delightful tale on the lives, and loves, of four more couples in the Dante’s Circle Series. Could there be more coming??? As Carrie Ann Ryan says “NEVER say never”
Fallen for Alphas
Liam and Alec finally get their story!!!!!! Best friends, time and circumstances placed distance and events between them. Now that they have their chance, a little communication goes a long way, with a nudge from their alpha, in them working things out. Strong alpha wolves with an undeniable attraction, plus being fated mates, make for some playful and intense sexiness. The bond between them comes right at you, and the love they feel radiates from the pages. Perfect beginning for these two to start their lives together
At Last Sight
So happy to have a story that sets Medusa to right! Poppy and Jonah haven’t had easy pasts, but that is why them being mates works to well. Loved the originality of the gorgon story, and the twist, and that Jonah and Poppy fit together so well from the start. While I’m not a fan of snakes, Poppy’s really didn’t bother me, because they are part of her, and the her that is, is wonderful
Blood’s First Kiss
Yay, a new species to have stories about!!! Well, not new to legend, but new to be out and part of the conclave. Of course, our resident Mer-kin Caly gets to find her mate, and he her, and things move pretty quick. Loved the line by Misha when talking to his course, it sort of encases the whole story
“You were only gone like thirty minutes.” “And, in that time, I went to the Conclave, told them our demands, and I found my mate. It’s been a productive day.”
Reaper’s Song
I was a couple pages into this story and I had to stop, take a huge gulp of air as tears filled my eyes, could it be? It was, and it wasn’t, and the mist surrounding the story, the unknown, clung to the story even as it evolved, changed, and developed. Eva and Ashen, banshee and reaper, a bond that goes beyond fated mating. It was more beautiful than I could imagine, and I read it with tears in my eyes the entire time
I thought I need this continuation for Liam and Alec’s story, and I did. I was overjoyed that Jonah and Caly also got their HEA’s, and not with predictable mates or species. I didn’t realize how much I needed reaper’s story, and I am more than thankful for it. Dante and his circle, and the seven wonderful women, continue to bring such joy, sorrow, and completeness to the world around them, and this collection only added to the warmth my heart already holds for them. Thank you to the authour for giving us more in this wonderful world <3
A great collection of short stories connecting back to the Dante’s Circle series. These stories intertwine with the original stories and give us new paranormal characters to love and give us updates on beloved characters. All the new stories have a HEA.
Received an advance copy from the author.
These 4 stories were amazing, it was great to revisit the original characters, but I loved seeing some of the other characters from the original stories find their HEA’s. Each story was a quick read and had awesome story lines that just grab you and pull you into the story.
This is four short stories that are bound to Dante’s Circle. Love how they all intertwined with the original books & we got new paranormals. Would love to read more & will wait to see if they come forward as new couples or extension of the ones past!
Fallen For Alphas
Liam and Alec had been friends for ever, but more recent, they knew they were each other’s mate. However, they were both too stubborn to admit it, instead avoiding each other for years. When the Alpha sends the out to hunt a rogue wolf, several things happen that make them realize they were meant for each other. The story was a little sad in parts, but mostly a good HEA.
At last sight
This was a good story about Jonah and Poppy. Poppy was the new barmaid and was on the run from three sisters who wanted her dead. The story had lots of action and a twist near the end
Blood’s First Kiss
This one was quite good. Caly was a mermaid and part of the Conclave when a stranger showed up and demanded to be heard. She was quite surprised to find out what he was and that there were more of them. A very good story that worked out for everyone.
Reaper’s Song
I really liked this one. It started out where someone didn’t know who he was anymore. Once he found out more and what he now was, he wasn’t really happy about it. There were quite a few twists and turns in this one but a wonderful ending.
Aah… so happy to dive back into Dante’s Circle! This book is 4 novellas/short stories revolving around some of the side characters from the other books. It was great to reconnect and see them get their HEA’s. I loved it!
