***READER NOTE***
***This is the sixth and final book of this 6-part emotional family saga series. You have followed the Creed family and gotten each brother’s love story. You also finally know what happened to Claire—it’s time to hear it in her own words.
***Due to violence, graphic content, and potential triggers, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18. Please read with care.
***Also, please take note that The Dove is not a standalone novella. It is not a romance and it does not have a traditional happy ever after ending.
I cannot stress this enough.
It also contains HUGE spoilers for anyone who has not already read the series. So, if you haven’t read the first five books . . .
STOP!
Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Go do that first. I’ll wait for you here.
I promise it’s worth it.
Here they are in order:
The Executioner (Asher Creed)
The Rainmaker (Levi Creed)
The Gunman (Jamison Creed)
The Prodigal (Joshua Creed)
The Silencer (Silas Creed)
If you have read all of these, well, then you’re ready for Claire’s story.
Buckle your seatbelts, kids. It’s about to get emotional.

The author isn’t kidding when she says do NOT read this book until you’ve read the others in the series. If you haven’t read them yet, start with The Executioner and read your way through. The Family Creed is a stunningly beautiful series, and your heart won’t be the same after having read it. If you want epic romance with unbreakable family ties that will move you like no other, this is the series for you.
This is Claire’s story of the events surrounding her disappearance, and her story is really for the readers, to give us closure. It is heartbreakingly poignant and the perfect conclusion to The Family Creed, so be sure to finish the series with The Dove. And if you fall in love with all the Creeds, as I have, we can hold on to hope together that we haven’t seen the last of this wonderful family. 😉
*I reviewed an advance copy of this book freely and voluntarily, having made no commitment to provide a review and receiving no compensation of any kind from any source for this review.
The Dove is the final wrap up of the Creed family saga. Claire’s story may just require an entire box of tissues. While you’ve fallen for the five brothers in the first five books, Claire’s story is a horse of another color. Be prepared for desolation, but you’ll be better off for the knowing.
The Dove by Shauna Allen is an emotional and fantastic book! I couldn’t put my kindle down! This is the 6th book in the Family Creed series. You have to read the 1st five books in the series.
The Dove by Shauna Allen tells what happen to Claire Creed and how she died that fateful day when she disappeared. It begins when Claire and Eden go swimming and then Eden goes home. Claire starts walking home when a truck just like her boyfriend’s Hunter stops and picks her up. Will Claire make it home safe? You will have to read The Dove to find out!
The Dove by Shauna Allen made me so emotional and I cried at the ending. Make sure to grab a copy of The Dove to read the conclusion to The Family Creed Series. You won’t be disappointed.
Rating: 4.5 Stars
Claire Creed was the youngest sibling and only girl. Hers is a story of what not to do. She also had me thinking of a young girl, in my area of the country that could have been Claire. Her story puts a period to what the author has been building from the beginning of this series.
This book also builds on the anticipation that has been slowly building. The author lets you know at the beginning that there’s no HEA. If that’s the only reason for picking a book than you don’t know what you’re missing – especially if you’ve read the series. I can’t say it’s the perfect ending but it fits the series. It’s a great excuse, even though you don’t really need one, to get to know her brothers.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
This is one of the most emotional stories I have ever read. It is short and to the point giving you the information to the last days of her life but doesn’t go into graphic details, you know what happened but it is done with class and should not trigger anything. A touching and very emotional without seeing all she went through. If tears do not drop from your eyes they will be there on the edge. This is Clair’s story it is sad, touching and very emotional. I really wanted to go in and protect her knowing what she was about to go through. She is a true Creed through and through, strong, kind and a fighter. I want to say it is a great ending to a very emotional series, that that just sounds cold and doesn’t give true meaning this series and Clair deserves. Her character became real to me, she was alive, and breathing, I felt her pain and moron her loss. Little Dove fly high and free know that you touched me is so many ways that you won’t be forgotten.
You must read the series in order so that you can understand the importance of what happens to Claire’s family and how they coped with her disappearance. This book was a hard read. It is a short read but it has a big impact. It’s raw and ugly but you also get to see Claire’s love for her family and friends.
The Dove is the final book in the Family Creed series. It is imperative that you read the other books first. This is Claire’s story. From previous books, we’ve known what happened to Claire. Now, we see it from her perspective. I cried, but was so thankful to be able to read Claire’s story, to see what she went through, to know what she was feeling. This is a heartbreaking, emotional book. Have the tissues handy!!
