OMG, I feel like I’ve waited forever to read Forest’s story and what a powerful, gripping story Ellie Masters has given us in “Forest’s Fall”. From the time he was introduced, Forest has melted my heart and as I got to know him better through all his trials and achievements, he came to life so beautifully I couldn’t help but fall in love with all his quirky personality traits and his big heart. But this storyline? This one had me smiling and laughing in places and then quite literally brought me to my knees and I had tears streaming down my face while the rest of me sat shivering while I read every single word. If anyone deserves to have their happy every after, it’s Forest. I know you want to know if he gets it or not, but I REALLY won’t do that to you or Ms. Masters. You need to read every word for yourself and let him show you what happens. Congratulations Ellie on, in my opinion, is the best book you’ve ever written. It deserves so much more than the five stars I’m limited to.
Breathtaking Finale to Forest’s Story!!
Forest has starred in multiple series from this author. This is the culmination of all that brilliance. Forest still suffers from the impact of early abuse. He is now large and powerful, but cannot touch his chosen sister, or stay in a relationship.
When a mission is planned to take out the ultimate evil, events come full circle and the best and worst that can happen, does.
The most scintillating, emotional, and gritty read. Perhaps ever. There are not enough words or stars to do this justice. You must read this story and its associated series.
OMG! This book was out of this world. I’d give it 100 stars. It is the type of book where your eyes go blurry because you cannot stop reading it until it is done, no matter the time. Be prepared for an emotional ride in order for Forest to get his HEA.
This book.. O M G I wasn’t sure I was up to this one. The subject matter(Human Trafficking) is hard to handle on any level and I had to put it down at times as it is so powerfully written. Then I’d pick it back up and go on. There is so much heartache, suspense, and such awesome characters.. Some you love, some you hate.. Sara is an amazing lady and Forest has the biggest heart. Together they fight to survive in a horrid world of pain and suffering. I have loved each of Ellie Masters books that I have read. They are all 5 star(10 if it was possible)
This story will touch your soul.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review..
Wow! What a climax to end the Captive Hearts series. Forest has been my favorite character through them all but I almost couldn’t finish this book. Outstanding story of overcoming one’s past, living through an unthinkable present and making your future what you want. Well worth the wait!
Forest Fall had me fall in love with the book itself! Ellie Masters has made my jaw drop once again! The pain, anger, the struggle in the story plot has blown my mind. I highly recommend this book!
I have been following Master’s as she was writing this book and new it was going to be good, but I was truly blown away when I got to read the finished story. First, I have to say I LOVE that Forest, the main character and hero, has Asperger’s. Forest’s character is a wonderful example (and very accurate example) of a full-grown adult male who is capable and successful, but who has some social issues-but not less than anyone in anyway. Forest is a complex character full of such compassion and has so much love to give. He is one of the strongest male characters I’ve ever read.
Forest is determined to bring down the man, Snowden, who nearly destroyed his childhood and who continues to deal in sex trafficking and other horrific dealings. Things look like they are going to go smoothly, until they aren’t. Forest is put into an impossible situation, forced to choose between two losing paths.
Sara, a girl he once saved, is his assistant. She is by his side in business as well as with the social cues he misses. She is silently in love with a man she believes could never love her back. Now she is being used as a pawn in Snowden’s evil games.
Enter Paul, the super attractive and dangerous man sent to guard Forest and Sara. How will he play into their future survival.
This book will grab your heart and tear it apart before putting it all back together. You will read about evil and feel there is no redemption, but in the end good always prevails.
You will also read about love, real true, unconditional love and see that it isn’t always a cut and dry situation. The heart can love more than one way.
This story will take you on the ride of a lifetime. I love Ellie Master’s books and this one is truly a gem, some of her best writing yet!
In 12 days I read 7 of Ellie Master’s books that lead up to Forest’s Fall. I waited more 5 days until I could read the words and now it’s the hardest review for me to write. It deserves 5 stars and more for the writing and creativity. For the story line, it makes me sick to think that situations as described are happening on the good planet Earth. It’s an amazing story about love, acceptance, resilience and determination. But whenever human trafficking is involved, it can’t be “good”. There were wonderful characters, and also characters I hated and wanted the chance to destroy. With Forest’s Fall, the puzzle is finally completed. The people, connections, and relationships throughout the two series have come together and make sense, people I find myself thinking back to, as I came to care about them. I’m glad Forest finally got his story. His calculations and plans were beyond anything I could ever wrap my mind around. WOW Ellie Masters! Just WOW!
I have always loved Forest and his story made me fall in love with him even more. He was funny, stubborn, passionate and sexy as hell. The drama and back story of his life was full of all the feels, with the right amount of angst, love and passion. The adventure was perfect for what he and his sister Skye endured during their childhood and made up for all the questions I was curious about. I truly loved this story and recommend it. Ellie Masters never disappoints.
Another masterpiece from the amazing Ellie Masters! Her in-depth writing has you falling to your knees and some much more. I felt Forest agony and pain trying to protect Sara while willing giving himself to a cruel and manipulative man!
Will Forest and Sara get out of the predicament their in or will Forest’s fall be the end of them?
Book 3 of this series was over-the-top, home-run, touch-down, and a slam-dunk, or in Forest’s terms, the best computer program EVER! Forest has been through so much and this book brings his story to a whole new level. Ellie Masters brought life to these characters in a whole new way. The emotions experienced while reading this book: shock, laughter, edge-of-seat, love, and a sense of hope. The family camaraderie between Forest, Skye, Sara, Xavier, Ben, Mitzy, to name a few characters is astounding. How all of these characters come together for one MAJOR cause and bringing hope to those who know no other way, amazing, amazing story.
If you have not read his story from the beginning, Angel Fire series book 1 or Ashes to New, then I suggest you grab Heart’s Insanity (book 1) and Ashes to New and get acquainted with Forest and Skye (Elsbeth). His story is intense and not all love and roses but so worth the time to read.
Ellie Masters knocked it out of the park! What an emotional story filled with turmoil, sadness, love. I’m at a loss for words actually! Ellie can’t wait for your next book, you never disappoint!
The Light in the Darkness
I’ve been waiting for Forest’s story for so long. His character pulled at me from the first time he was mentioned in the Angel Fire Series, which I highly recommend reading before reading this book. Forest is finally able to face down his past, the mission is planned, executed and then gets completely FUBAR. Forest needs Sara to survive his nightmare, Sara trust and love for Forest is the only thing that keeps him going, but then there is Paul. Can he be trusted? Who’s side is he really on?
This book is devastating on so many levels, yet completely breathtaking.
I’m usually very good with writing reviews but every once in awhile I read something that leaves me speechless. Do you remember as a child that larger than life sense of excitement for the coming of Christmas? You wait all year and then you run down on Christmas morning and find the perfect gift that you had begged for and wanted above all the other gifts on your list. You rip open the package and just start to cry. You cry from so much pent up emotion and relief. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I READ THIS BOOK.
I started my Forest journey with Ashes to New and if evil had a name it would be John Snowden. Forest became a larger that life character and as we saw him grow and his determination to right the wrongs of evil grow with him, all you want is for him to succeed and finally heal from all the trauma. This journey was painful and at times I wasn’t sure I would make it through to the end. The author, Ellie Masters has managed to weave a complicated tale with impeccable skill. She brings together worlds in 3 different series and culminates in an explosion called Forest’s Fall. My head fell, my body fell, my tears fell and most of all my heart fell.
Was all the pain, sadness, anger and angst worth it? You FREAKIN BETTER BELIEVE IT WAS WORTH IT. I know I have missed some vital parts with my first reading of this story so once I calm down, I will do a reread when I’m less emotional.
Ellie Masters has finished her series with a huge bang! Shocking details are revealed, shocking revelations are made, and shocking events occur. The story is an emotional roller coaster that will grip you and keep you hostage for every last page. She certainly captured me and this book earns all the stars!
Forest’s Fall! This title holds many meanings. Through many books by Ellie Masters, we have waited for Forest to find justice, waited for Forest to finally have the closure he deserves and his enemies to get their due. And now we have it! This book took me on a journey of pain, love, and restitution. My emotions were drained and my beating heart got a workout.
Forest is a character who has played minor parts and pivotal parts throughout the books of Ellie Masters. He has drifted from one series to another. He has lived through absolute tragedy and suffered immensely for it. He is strong, he is loyal, he is amazing. Finally having a book featuring him and living through his nightmare was beyond perfect.
This story is so much better if you’ve taken the time to get to know Forest and what he stands for. The trials he has endured, the success he has earned, the love in his heart. What drives him to live another day? What is his endgame? You can read all about Forest in Ellie’s previous books and it will bring to light all of those things. It will help you feel everything while you read Forest’s Fall. It will help you feel satisfied with his journey.
Ellie Masters has been weaving interconnected stories through several series’ and many books. They are best enjoyed in order but you can always read Forest’s Fall as a standalone.
Sometimes books come along that stay with you, long after the last page is read. Forest’s Fall is one of those books. I realised while reading it that Ellie Masters’s strength, particularly in this book, is that she makes you imagine what Forest is going through – and your imagination is so much more powerful and impossible to ignore than words on a page will ever be. There are moments in this book of sheer terror, of devastation, of gut-wrenching agony – and these are the reader’s experiences. From the moment we met Forest in Hearts Insanity, through each of his iterations in the Captive Hearts and the Angel Fire books, he has been the literal tower of strength, the damaged beautiful protector, haunted by Snowden. And, in Forest’s Fall, he gets the monster’s location – and things fall apart. Prepare to be ripped apart by this book, up to and including the end.
This is truly a grande finale of a book. In my mind, it is the ultimate culmination of the Angel Fire and Captive Hearts series. So much pain and intensity brought Forest his loves. One thing I missed was how Snowden knew about the mission. I thought a spy would be revealed. This is an incredible story.
In June 2018 I read a book by a new Author to me Ellie Masters, that book was Hearts Insanity ( A Rock Star Romance )
As I read and devoured that story one character stood out. He made such an impression on me that I’ve craved his story for 2 years….that character was Forest.
Forest Summers broke my heart into a million pieces with everything he endured as a young boy. As an adult he completely fascinated and consumed every part of me. I fell even harder for the complex Nordic giant with the soft heart in every book he featured in.
So much so that Forest went on to be one of my all time FAVOURITE characters in the book world.
If anyone deserved a HEA it’s my Forest, I knew his story would never be an easy read or a typical sweet romance and I’m happy it wasn’t. It wouldn’t of worked if it was, Forest simply isn’t wired that way.
His story was as intense and powerful as the man himself and every bit as dark and dangerous. It was emotionally raw and savagely brutal at times too.
Yet with all that it still managed to be a captivating, beautiful and passionate love story that completely overwhelmed my emotions.
The kind of story where you have to pause and take a moment to catch your breath just to absorb what you’ve read.
Forests Fall was an exhilarating page turner, I loved how everything came together and tied in nicely with the flow of the story.
It has a suspenseful and cleverly constructed plot that delves into a world of terrifying and unimaginable horrors.
It’s about slaying the monsters that prey on the weak and vulnerable.
It’s a story of survival of having the strength to fight your own demons.
It’s a journey of finding love and acceptance in the most dire of circumstances.
I loved seeing some familiar characters make an appearance they put a huge smile on my face.
I adored Sara so much, she was amazingly strong and Paul definitely set my pulse racing.
To Ellie Masters, I didn’t think it was possible to Fall any harder for Forest but I did, so thank you for that. xx
I’m very excited for what’s instore next, it sounds AMAZING!
Forest’s story was well worth the wait. I wish I could give this infinite stars because it is one of the best books I have read. The author poured so much emotion in this story that it absolutely wrecked me. Her best writing that will leave you with the biggest book hangover. The drama, angst, suspense and intensity will have gripping your kindle unable to tear your eyes away. Pick this story up and read it. Be warned it is powerful and may have some hard scenes for people to handle…but it is so worth it.
This book was absolutely incredible! I’m truly at a loss for words, this is one of the best books I’ve ever read. It’s such an emotional story, that at times I didn’t think my heart could take it. This story is filled with drama, angst, turmoil, suspense, and love. An absolutely phenomenal read that I wish I could give more than 5 stars, it most certainly deserves it.
