Lost is an emotional book. I thought this was the last book in The Everett Gaming Series but to my surprise we get one more (Ours). If you haven’t read this series you should. Colin, Anthony & Sydney have been through hell but have survived. Their love is being tested and all of them are hurting. This author makes the characters feel real. This is a must read series.
A Time for Healing!!
Just when I thought the last book would be the most emotional, Drew Sera outdoes herself once again. I don’t want to go too much into the content of this book or it will certainly give spoilers to both this and the last book which I purposely avoided spoilers. What I will say is that each character is lost in their own way in this book. Each searching for their way back to the roles they had before Sydney’s abduction. Each suffers from nightmares now for different reasons. Each with new fears and paranoia. Sydney is moving forward faster than expected. Anthony’s story was heartbreaking enough before but in this book, he is suffering is so much that both Colin and Sydney are scared for him. Colin puts so much pressure on himself to take care of everyone that even he can’t help but fall apart from that pressure. He is the one who always knows what to do but he’s struggling and desperate. By the end of this book, you find yourself questioning if they can go back to how they were before Sydney’s abduction or if they can make this relationship work again. The bonus with this book is the got some of their sexual mojo back and some scenes are truly scorching. Drew Sera writes some of the most powerful, raw, emotional and real content that I’ve ever had the privilege of reading. She doesn’t sugarcoat anything. She writes what she feels is authentic to her storyline and true to her characters which is one of the reasons she is one of my favorite writers. The Everett Gaming Series is a must read. I can’t wait for the release of the final book. Although, I will miss these characters immensely.
This series is like being on an emotional roller coaster! It is intense, heartbreaking, sexually arousing and heartwarming at the same time. Colin, Anthony and Sydney continue on their quest to repair the damage done to their relationship when Sydney was taken from them. They have so many issues that seem insurmountable, but somehow they seem to be working through them. Very time they take a few steps forward they are exposed to another hurdle which takes them two steps backwards. This series is very honest and brutal about the abuse that some people have to endure. Whilst showing that a controlling BDSM lifestyle always is consensual although they provide encouragement to expand limits.
WALK WITHIN THEIR FOOTSTEPS – MUST READ EXPERIENCE!!
I believe you need to experience Colin, Anthony, and Sydney for yourself by reading this entire series. Walk within their footsteps. Only then, can you fully appreciate their tumultuous journey and just how amazing people are – in their strengths to overcome tragedies, when their weaknesses are exposed, and their search for forgiveness. We can falter, we can take wrong turns, we can test the limits of our interactions with loved ones but if surrounded in love and care anything is possible to achieve. A journey that has been long, extremely painful and breathless with moments of utter joy and the sexual freedom to explore. Your emotions are frequently tested, you will need to walk away to rebalance your feelings, your thoughts and breathe deep.
Their continual struggle with each other while dealing with their personal tragedies and insecurities, guilts, regrets. LOST is aptly named, like each of the books within this series. They are LOST in their direction, vulnerable to their emotions and confusion. They are so LOST within the burdens of their guilts and regrets. They have LOST pieces of themselves through the awful clutches of a sadistic, vengeful man. The question is how and can they find themselves as individuals and in their beautiful V relationship. To know It’s ok, that we need to sometimes disconnect and recharge life’s batteries, to then reconnect. It’s ok to voice frustrations when filled with guilt and pain. it’s ok to feel LOST when feeling shattered. They will be given opportunities but need to make a concerted effort to re-establish connections, trust and know that together they can endure whatever life throws at them. To remember that when one feels weak… together they are strength, support and love.
Each book has been and continues to be a melting pot of emotional angst, despair, hurt and let’s go there – awesome sexual chemistry and descriptive scenes. I find myself thinking that to have any relationship of worth… your journey will alway experience highs and lows. Maybe not to the extreme depths that Colin, Anthony and Sydney endure, but we all have beautiful and tragic stories that tell of our journey. Nothing worth having is going to be easy to reach but when it happens the journey is ultimately worth the prices we pay along the way, both as individuals and couples to have fulfilling, lifelong relationships.
Stocking up again on the tissues… ready for the emotional roller coaster of tears to come as OURS – the next book in this amazing series brings Colin, Anthony, and Sydney’s story to it’s conclusion. While the story and series is predominately Colin, Anthony and Sydney – do not discount the amazing love and committed support of their friends. That’s FAMILY right there. Drew Sera is that gifted writer you will follow into the depths of darkness, ride the roller coaster, to get to the light on the other side…
Once again, Drew Sera has proven herself a master at taking the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Each time Sydney awakened from a nightmare due to her abduction in the previous book and the two weeks of torture she was subjected to, my heart ached for her. She was just getting to a point where she felt safe, secure, and comfortable in her own skin, and this set things back. Her growth throughout this series has been heartwarming though. She’s gone from a shy, scared, fragile young woman to a woman who faced the worst humanity has to offer and survived. She showed a strength of character that is admirable.
The one that really broke my heart in this book, however, was Anthony. He went through his own hell, and it took so much for him to finally break down and share what he was feeling inside. The emotions were so raw, so intense, that i found myself crying right along with him.
The Everett Gaming Series is a masterpiece of emotional story telling that will have you glued to your kindle (or paperback), unwilling to put it down until you’ve reached the end. I cannot wait to see how Ms. Sera wraps this series up in the final book. I know it is going to be just as much of an emotional read as the first five were. I have never looked so forward to ugly crying as I wait, patiently, for the final book to come out!
The V relationship of Sydney, Colin and Anthony continues to be tested. Sydney and Anthony deal with both emotional and physical while Colin doesn’t know if he can take care of them and keep them together. Can their V survive?
This book is wonderfully written and in great detail. It will send you on a rollercoaster of your emotions. You feel as if you are going through everything with them. This is a book you don’t want to miss out on. If you haven’t started reading the series, start it now. I can’t wait for the next book.

This series is wonderful. Drew out did herself. I fell in love with everyone. I laughed, cried, got mad and felt love and part of the story.
Lost by Drew Sera is the fifth book in the Everett Gaming Series, an emotionally charged dark series.
Lost says it all. After Sydney’s return to her Dom’s they are all feeling lost in how to cope and deal with the events that happened in Alone. Sydney has so much to over come but because of her love and trust in her Dom’s she is willing to overcome what she has endured, it’s not without setbacks that they need to start over with much of her training.
Anthony is struggling even more so between his past, his self destruction and his own emotions which he has kept buried for years that is complied. It was difficult to watch a character you love struggle as much as he does, I wanted to reach into the story and hug him.
Colin is beside himself. Watching him struggle as he carries the weight of knowing what happened to Sydney and Anthony. You him for the first time show weakness when all along he’s been the strong one of them all. Colin questions himself and worries if he’s doing the right thing time and time again.
Another Emotional read by Drew Sera and I can’t wait for the next one to come out!
