Holy mother of five star books! I reread book two and just finished book three. I absolutely loved it!!!!
This was a brilliant ending to the Shadowborn series. I was sitting on the edge of my seat until the last page. And the heat level was beyond hot!
I think the author did a fantastic job of rounding up the series. We got many questions answered, but new one also came to light. I’m so fuck*ng relieved that there will be more books in this world.
If you haven’t read the series yet, I can highly recommend that you do. It will take you on an emotional rollercoaster. You won’t be disappointed.
HEA!?! Yes!!!
Finally!! Ari got her HEA!!! Action, redemption, thrill-ride, hot, sexy, and great characters!!! This was a good series to get caught up on! On to the next! #HappyReading
The series makes sense only if read in order. The reading order is: Hunted by Shadows (Shadowborn Series Book One), Lost in Shadow (Shadowborn Series Book Two), Embraced by Shadows (Shadowborn Series Book Three)What an epic ending to this amazing series! I devoured it in one breath. The author brings a conclusion to Ari’s story masterfully and consistently, and the whole series reads as one book. Amazing.
The world still expands and grows and if I read the after note correctly, there will be more of the world to explore in the future, which is great news. The plot is complex and multilayered, and so much happens, and yet the author follows all the subplots and answers all the questions apart from three which she leaves for future books.
The characters are still amazing, as are they relationships. Ari grows as a person and slowly heals from her past, but there are still hardships she has to overcome. Her little family also grows and the group dynamic is quite interesting. And this book is hot hot hot. So be ware of potential blushing or sweating is you read this in public.
This is the fastest paced book in the series as Ari and her group are racing against time and an unknown enemy and a very well hidden known enemy. And there are many instances where there is no clarity as to who is the friend and who is the foe. Very well done. And I can’t say more without giving spoilers. I’ll just say that this was an amazing series and I can’t wait to see what the author comes up with next.
Embraced by Shadows is the third and final book in this trilogy as Ari and her men raced against time to find the culprit for all the murders happening and to make them pay for her bestfriend’s death.
In this book, Ari has grown more as a person. With the constant loving support of her men and her pack, she has slowly overcomes her fear, learned to trust and love fully. This is a fast paced story with a great ending. I will say nothing more. For the fans of this series, I’m ecstatic to learn there will be a spin off. I admit, I still need my Seb fix *wink wink*
This was a fantastic ending for the Shadowborn trilogy! After Tori’s death, everyone is devastated, but Terrance is still out there along with an unknown enemy. War is brewing, Shadowborn’s are appearing, and Ari can’t do it by herself- she gets help from the ASP. Can the evil be defeated?
I enjoyed the multiple POVs and that the characters were more open than the previous books. It was nice to see a softer side of Killian and Seb with more power. I love how much each of these characters have grown since book one and have finally became a true family. The different bonds/ connections with each of her men is unique and unlike the others, but they’re all exactly what she needs to move forward and mend from her dark past. This conclusion was fast paced and full of plenty of action and steam. It was hard to tell who was friend or foe and I was hooked on the twists and intrigue. I’ve been anticipating the final battle and it did not disappoint. I can’t wait for Tori’s story to come out and to learn even more about this world and her mates!

Ok I am so sad this series ended!! I loved every minute so much!! So many twists and turns, man the reveals. It’s so hard not to spill the beans…… But u have to read it and experience this journey for yourself, it’s so worth it!! Can’t wait to see what’s next for a certain lady and some bears
What a fantastic end to this series, Ari and her men have been through so much with many twist and turns some will break your heart others that will warm your heart. The final battle at the end is just brilliant, with the Shadow Pack, this series is just amazing. You must read it
This is the last in the Shadowborn series and I am so sad to see it end. This trilogy is chock full of action, steamy romance and intrigue. Erin did an amazing job creating a story much different from other shifter series. I absolutely fell in love with the characters and have determined that Ari may be my soul sister. She’s an amazing character full of love and loyalty. As the heroine, she drives this trilogy. Erin knocked this trilogy out of the park. I can’t wait to see where Tori’s life leads with her very own shifter mates.
Ding dong the witch is dead, her potential mates are heart broken and the shifters are devestated.
She cant believe all that happened, and all that she’s lost, but she’s needed to help soothe the apparent madness of the bears.
Her mates keep her upright but it’s all such a struggle. Will there ever be an end to the pain?
Oh Wowsers!!! What a fantastic ending to the shadowborn series!!
I’ve loved every second of my time with Ari and her men, and the conclusion was everything I wanted it to be and so much more too.
Ari became what was needed, both for herself and for her mates. Just as they became her strength, love and hope.
The intricate links formed between the different type of paranormal creatures had me smiling like a loon. I loved the total acceptance of the different races.
Their story is one that brought me sadness, and grief, but also hope and lots of warm fuzzy moments.
A perfect reverse harem series with lots of action both in and out the bed, and an underlying tone of no matter what, you can find a home. A place to belong.
Wow. Ari and her men are all fierce in their own way. It takes quite a while for them all to truly trust each other but the wait is well worth it. The perfect conclusion after the heartache of the last books ending.
This action packed third installment has all the feels! This up and coming new author brings back all the characters we’ve grown to love. The world building and steamy scenes will keep you hooked. So sad to see this story come to an end…but there is definitely room for future spin offs. Looking forward to more from this author
Such an emotional rollercoaster but soo worth it!! She had to endure alot but still came on top, it was a good series and another hit for the author!! Truly recommend this book to everyone! Can’t wait to see if she does anything with the character’s!!
I loved this third book in this amazing series. From the start of this book all the way to the end, you will be transported to another world, where you will find yourself interacting with a variety of characters. This is an amazing read. It moves along at a great pace. Slowing down at just the right times and speeding up at the right times. The story takes you away, and from the moment you start it, you cannot put it down. The characters are so real that you feel as though you know them as friends and no matter what you want to be there for them.
This is a must read, you will not be sorry. So you need to read it now.
Holy cow man this series is probably one of my top 3 FAVORITE series ive had the pleasure of reading. I’ve been reading about Ari’s life since book 1 and god love her heart this girl has been put thru the ringer since birth because of the pack she was born into … .. I absolutely hate to see this series come to an end but man did Ari and her Men go out with a bang!! Can’t wait for the next chapter of Moon River pack !!!
