Had to buy + read the whole series – indeed all by this author after reading the 1st one.
Don’t want it to end.
Great finale to series…This book is a great finale to this series. This book has almost nonstop action with James and Deacon going in to rescue Mak’s sister. I received a free copy of this ebook from eBook Discovery. This is my honest and voluntarily given review. Even though this book does contain violence, it is not gratuitous. I liked that Mak learns James secrets and that James finally learns why the organization has been looking for him. With James being more vulnerable in this book, I found that his vulnerability makes him more human and likable. I am glad that I read the whole series.
I don’t know how, but the author has done it again! This book in the “James Thomas” series (there are other related sets to enjoy) wraps up James and Mak’s story stunningly. There are so many twists and turns and surprises, along with the requisite violence due to James’s past associations and Mak’s husband. James and Mak have their relationship severely tested when many of his secrets are exposed. A heart-stopping rollercoaster ride indeed! A must read, but do them in order for maximum enjoyment!

SORIN: A James Thomas Novel (The James Thomas Series Book 5) by Brooke Sivendra is unfortunately the last book in the series and the culmination of everything. BUT OMG it goes out with a bang. It has been one intense rollercoaster ride as we follow James and the team as they race to catch the bad guys that threaten his very existence and everything he holds dear but his enemies don’t realise that that is their biggest mistake. Each book follows on from the other so be sure to read them all in order. I have loved each and every second of this series where my heart was pounding in my chest from start to finish of each and every book and this one is no exception. With the stakes higher than they have been we see plenty of action and danger, violence and love, deadly men and women, explosions and emotions, pain and heartache. The suspense is palpable as it jumps off the page and we travel the carefully woven threads that Brooke does so well.
If you do not put this series on your TBR list then you are missing out on something so so good.
5 Stars
Sorin is the fifth and final instalment in the James Thomas Series by Brooke Sivendra.!!! WOW- what an intense ride this book/series has been! I hopped on the rollercoaster back in book one, and it didn’t let up even for a minute! And I have enjoyed every single second!! The story follows on from one book into the next, so you are in for a real heart-pounding adventure! This is an intense romantic suspense with explosive developments, high-stakes, emotion, delusions, deadly danger, kidnap, action, adventure, obsession, mystery, manipulation, complications, risk, family, all-out war, drama, chemistry, passion, intrigue, tension, twists, violence, cross-continental travel, evil cult, truth, torture, courage, determination, exploitation, pain, heartache, palpable suspense, and this was probably the ‘darkest’ of all the books. The story is told from multiple points of view, so we get a really well-rounded perspective of motivations, and a front seat to all the action as it unfolds.
In this book, everything comes to a head, and this is an all-out life or death battle for survival. Secrets have been revealed- but will the revelations drive a wedge between James and Mak? Will they survive? Will they defeat the evil forces, and if they can, at what cost? Buckle up and get set for a white-knuckle ride!!!
Ms. Sivendra certainly upped the ante with book- seriously it was intense. She dropped bomb after bomb, and my mind was completely reeling from all of the revelations.
This was also the most emotive of all the James Thomas books- my emotions got a serious work out! I really felt for quite a few of the characters as details were revealed. I also hated the ‘baddie’ with a blinding passion- and really wanted him to get his ‘just deserts’!!!
I loved that all the threads from previous instalments were tied up so superbly in this book. I got all the answers I needed, for now .
She is such a consummate story-teller. She, and her books are not anything I will soon forget, that’s for certain. These stories are ones I will be more than happy to revisit time, and again over the years.
Recap of the series:
I am in awe of all the intricately connected details, and the level of tension and suspense infused into the storyline, with all the many and varied clever touches Ms. Sivendra managed to weave into this multi-layered storyline. It is a true testament to her writing prowess!
This is such a fantastic story. I am really having trouble finding the words to do this book/series the justice it deserves. The characters are beyond perfect. They are complex, fully realised individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks and flaws. They had me completely invested in them and the outcome of their story from word go. I was eagerly and quite anxiously following along as the story unfolded. I spent a lot of the time on the edge of my seat, my heart pounding through all the adrenaline inducing action and jaw dropping revelations. Completely riveted by the story, I wouldn’t put it down and read it all in one sitting.
This series is one continuing story, so you really should read the previous book/s before starting on this one- as there is important information, storyline, and character introductions which you should know in order to fully appreciate this book! The best thing is that all the books in this fantastic series are available right now…. YAY!!!!! So there is no waiting between books! #WINNING
This is so well woven, with a massive amount of clever plotting and intricate layering. I am so impressed with Ms. Sivendra’s masterful storytelling talents. She may not realise it, yet but she’s just gained an avid stalker, um I mean fan, yes, an avid fan!
You know when you read a book that is sooo good it completely captures you- sweeping you off your feet, consuming you in a way where reality is suspended and all you can think about is the story? A story that is so great you can’t stop at just one book- you need to hunt down the entire series to devour, because you’ve developed a serious addiction and need your next fix, STAT? Where you become so consumed by the addiction, you then proceed to stalk the author, and chasing down every book she’s ever written, caught in a one-clicking frenzy- only to end up on a book-binge of epic proportions, hoping like hell she’s got more books in the works because you’ll never tire of her stories- ever? Well Ms. Sivendra is one of those authors- her books are completely and irreversibly addictive. I should have a massive book-binging hangover, but I don’t! Because I loved every second of every mind-blowing minute I spent between her pages . I really couldn’t get enough, and let’s face it at this stage I’d read her shopping list, just to get a ‘fix’
Highly recommended reading. Really, it’s a MUST READ, and should be on everybody’s TBR!!!
Kudos! And thank you, Ms. Sivendra!
Honestly this was by far one of my favorite book in this series (Second is Lucian) and I did not want it to end but sadly it had. However this book in the “James Thomas” series wraps up James and Mak’s story stunningly. There are so many twists and turns and surprises, along with the requisite violence due to James’s past associations and Mak’s husband. James secrets are exposed and Mak learns them all. Defintely a must read, but I would recommend reading them in order for maximum enjoyment!

I have had a love/hate relationship with this series from the first book. I came to love James, Mak, and the team, but the suspense overwhelmed me at times and I hated the brutality and violence. The author maintained the suspense throughout the series as the characters strategised in a game of smoke and mirrors. However, truths emerge and justice is served in this last book as the characters battle against evil and vicious monsters. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery.
