These books are fantastic! Hettie Ivers delivers all a reader can ask for.
A wonderfully addictive series…..
I loved this series ..this is the paranormal genre at it’s best…it is dark, with the werelocks being more antiheroes than heroes, exciting to read and so funny there is so much great humour captured within these pages….in many ways this is an age old story of family loyalty, infidelity, love, lust and ultimately a struggle between two powerful warring factions…but the skill of the author to create a believable alternative world with magnificent and despicable magical beings gives it a refreshing and original makeover….
Alex, the male lead, is the biggest and baddest werelock of them all! He commits some heinous crimes and behaves like a complete and utter a**hole at times but there is something so appealing and sexy about him….. as for the heroine, Milena, she is feisty, funny and holds up relatively well considering she is exposed to an alternative world of which she had no prior knowledge or experience…. a world which is full of danger and malevolence….
The characters in this series are so well written and the relationships and interactions between them all complicated and fascinating ….Alex’s family are fabulous their exchanges and their sibling rivalries are hilarious but they are also loyal, loving and protective of those they care about..I particularly love his two brothers Remy and Alcaeus; despite their dubious morals and arrogance there is something very attractive and entertaining about their personalities……
The werelocks and the world they inhabit has a comprehensive back story; throughout the series the lore, legend and history of the werelocks is described in detail which is intriguing but also complex at times…I came to the conclusion that a family tree and relationship summary would have helped at some points as more pivotal characters were introduced and held sway on the ongoing events…
This is a captivating paranormal romantic series both magical and dark infused with plenty of humour…..there is darkness and steamy, dirty sex and the actions of the werelocks are often reprehensible but to me they are all perfectly imperfect…although this is the end of the trilogy there are clearly more stories waiting in the wings for me to devour….a wonderfully addictive series that just got better and better…..
I love this trilogy! It starts as a kind of a slow going-romance. Defiantly something new in the magic field for typical romance-paranormal-fantasy material. Very interesting story with humorous characters that have only scratched the surface. It has a touch of dark romance for those who like it but not as severe so the soft of heart can keep turning pages too!
Can’t wait to read more? Well there is two more books out and just as amazing. I have every book in this series and this Author knows how to write! Definitely recommend!
Books u’ll never want to put down, they have u pulled into their lives the min u start reading. Well written, saucy and very entertaining would highly recommend u give it ago u’ll not be disappointed.
There are book series that grab ahold of your heart, mind, and your very soul when the story is well written from one book to the next. Hettie Ivers is the author of one such series. With her Werelock Evolution Series she brought to life a young woman, Milena Caro, in search of her long lost brother, Raul, following the death of their mother. On her journey she encounters more than one unimaginable obstacle. She also comes face-to-face with some of the most manipulative, humorous, seductive, intelligent, and strong-willed werelocks one could ever imagine. These werelocks become many things to her. At first they are her captures but over time Alex, Alcaeus, Kai, Remy, Alessandra, and even the human, Lupe, become so much more to her. They become friends, help-mates, and Alex, becomes the object of her affections despite how much they butt heads.
Of all the books in the series my favorite had to be Revenge of the Wronged. Even if you haven’t read Slip of Fate or Fear the Heart Hettie Ivers with such detail and depth that you will understand what is transpiring. The following is insight into the amazing book that is Revenge of the Wronged, again let me reiterate, although this focuses on the last book in the Trilogy, it captures the brilliance that is Hettie Iver’s writing style.
In Revenge of the Wronged, Milena’s story continues. She wakes up to find herself in her own bed back in the States with Alex by her side. Alex, the Alpha who has tormented her, threatened her brother’s life, all while falling hopelessly in love with her. Alex, the Alpha werelock who ignited a fire in her soul and body, so many times he has almost proven to be Milena’s undoing because of her incredible desire. It’s in Revenge of the Wronged that Hettie Ivers finally has pity on Milena, and the readers, by allowing her to finally consummate her relationship with Alex. To say that their first physical encounter was a passionate one is an understatement. That encounter, and all subsequent encounters, was hotter than a river of lava from a volcanic eruption!
Revenge of the Wronged isn’t only about the passion and love between Milena and Alex. It’s also about her relationship with her best friend, who we finally meet, and her tenuous relationship with her brother, Raul. Revenge of the Wronged is about the blood curse and how it affects the lives of not only Milena, Alex, Alcaeus and everyone working with or for the Reinoso clan. It is also about how it affects the Salvatella clan led by Gabriel.
Revenge of the Wronged is about righting wrongs. It is about the return of someone long considered only a memory. It is about making the ultimate sacrifice to save the ones you love. Revenge of the Wronged is a story that not only makes you hot under the collar, but it also makes you laugh, cry, and want to throw things. Hettie Ivers fills the last book in her Werelock Evolution series with an abundance of twists and turns that will afford you with the highest highs and the lowest lows. Have I provided spoilers? I tried not to because this is a book to be read and appreciated. It is a book to be savored. It is one book in a remarkable book series that should be read and appreciated many times over. I cannot express enough, how this book will leave you yearning for more of the wonderful characters Hettie Ivers so flawlessly brought to life.
Before I give my full review, I have to say that this series is my all time favorite one. Hettie has become my favorite author quickly and I can so appreciate her very creative story telling. Expect the unexpected and enjoy!
Slip of Fate
Slip of Fate follows the journey of Milena as she makes the decision to find her brother. She has lost her mother and is all alone in the world. The one connection she has is to Raul. If she can find him, then maybe she can find some sort of order in her life again. Maybe she can feel stronger over all. Right off the bat, Hettie leads us into the turmoil. Milena is kidnapped at the airport when she lands in South America. Scared and confused, she has no idea what it is that she’s done or why. Her kidnappers take her to somewhere and inform her she’s going to be a trade off for the live of another. She figures that pretty much, this is it? This is the end of her life and how can she possibly survive anything more? She had been assaulted in more than one way just in the drive from one destination to another.
But now, her path is altered and she finds conflicting emotions of calm, fear, peace, lust and anger. Who can she trust? Can she trust the two men and woman who say that she can’t be handed over to Alex because of her brother? She asks all these questions and she can’t get a clear answer. As the arguments about her status ensue, she meets Alex for the first time. It’s a meeting that sets the precedence of the rest of the book.
Fear the Heart:
The story picks right up where Hettie left us hanging at the end of book 1. Thank heavens she did! Milena has had a rough few months. She has lost everyone she loves, dealt with more responsibility than any other 18 year old she knows and thrown into the fire so to speak after making a long journey to find her brother. But instead of some things getting easier, they go in quite opposite directions!
She’s finding out the truth about her brother Raul and where he has been all of these years. The fact that he was involved with the very man she loves/likes/hates makes it all even more confusing. My heart hurt for her as she is smacked in the heart with the truth of where she comes from and who she truly is. There is no reaction time that sets in. She has to take it and sort it later as chaos is going to flood through their paths. In this case they better be wearing hip waders to stay dry!
Since Alcaeus has been around forever and a day, he’s able to tell the stories of his family history and where he had met the Salvatella Pack long before. But of course with Alcaeus, it’s a grand production! I mean, he is so theatrical and all. Of course that feeds another river of chaos and another and another….
Milena struggles to come to terms with all this information. How can any of this be true? She feels betrayed by the people whom she thought loved her. Instead she’s not sure who to trust or where to turn. The one person she does trust is Lupe. Lupe can offer her insight where the others can. I LOVE Lupe! She’s a part of the story as it goes on and one that is sure to be amazing.
Revenge of the Wronged:
If you’ve read the previous books you’re well aware of whirlwind of emotions that has plagued both characters. They’re sometimes volatile interactions lead to them giving into what they both realize is a deep love and even devotion. With that though comes the raw reality of what darkness they face. The blood curse that has brought them to their fated paths threatens to explode and take everything and everyone that stands in the way. Who will make it through the storm and who will fall for good?
Alex has to be the strong one. He has to be the leader that everybody expects him to be. His Alpha status has always resonated in his attitude being a bit peckish and not the most tolerable. After all he has no qualms about ending the lives of those who set to damage his pack. A man with little to no weakness’ now does what nobody expected him to EVER do. He has given into his love and adoration for Milena. He realizes now that his fate was sealed upon their first tumultuous meeting. Now that he’s given into the fate, his feelings and his wolf, he’ll do whatever takes to keep her safe. Even if that means keeping her away from the only family member she has left. With the fate of his pack at odds, the life of his mate and his duty, will he be able to save everyone from the biggest, bloodiest and horrendous revenge of all?
Milena started a journey to find her brother to end up having her whole world shattered. She leaves the only home she’s known, went on a search for her brother and found out the startling truth of who she is. She’s thrown even more off kilter when she not only has to come to terms to what she’s feelings for Alex, but conceding to their fate. During all of this battle and revelations, she’s reunited with her brother. How can she convince him he’s on the wrong side of the impending war? His choices can cost them both the very things they have been missing for so long. Their bond, love and faith in each other is tested to the breaking point once Milena accepts her fate. How can she accept Alex and keep a war from happening? She’s forced to join in the battle from hell, but what happens if she can’t stop impending doom brought on by the wronged?
During all of this back and forth, chaos, love, sex, violence and hatred, appears the one person nobody was expecting to join in. Who is she,what the hell does she want and how is it possible SHE is really there? The answers that come are so unexpected and breathtaking. The hashtag is true, #thebestbadguyisawoman.
Yes!! All that hotness in one convenient package! Just what I was hoping would happen. Do yourself a favor and pick up all three at once. Milena and Alex, Remy, Alcaeus, Alessandra, Kai, and Lupe, they will not disappoint. Don’t bother dipping your toes in to test the waters. They are hot and steamy with all the heart and passion you could want. Pick up the trilogy, set aside a couple days, a box of chocolates(or whatever you hanker for), a nice warm blanket and a drop dead sexy masseuse(what?! It’ll be worth it, I promise;) and indulge, because once you start, you won’t want to come up for air until you have finished.
I can’t recommend this story highly enough. The characters of Ivers’s world are grippingly real and give an immersive feel that is only found in the best stories. Her humor is well timed and irreverent and I have actually laughed out loud reading these books which really never happens. I reviewed each book individually so I will say no more, just go read ’em if you haven’t already!
Well written. Detailed, great story line, and solid editing. I have problems paying attention when there are lots of typos. I enjoyed this trilogy.
Really good series cannot wait to read the rest. This is the type of book that will be on my re-read list.
I read the 1st book Slip of Fate and love it and Hettie sent me this trilogy so I could read the other 2 and love them too. I recommend this and the author too. I look forward to reading more of Hettie books!
Eighteen year old Milena gets kidnapped by her brothers sworn enemy but she never thought she would fall in love with him. This is a well written story filled with action, suspense, drama, magic, humor and so much more. I loved this trilogy and I will definitely be reading more books by this author.
Ever have a book hangover? You know…when you’re so caught up in the characters, story, excellent writing and editing??? Well these books do it for me. And the best part is that Hettie isn’t done writing their stories!
There was too much fighting between the siblings. I got tried of them always trying to dominate the other. The book as a whole did have good characters just poor behaviors. I give this book a four star rating.
Fun…and looking forward to book 4. Loved reading as the characters grew.
Solidly in my DNF section on my bookshelf, which is incredibly rare for me. I’ve had books that I’ve finished out and then cursed myself for that horrible niggling hope that they might, eventually get better…….though they never did.
This book, though…. I didn’t get to the end of the first book because there was far too much near-rape in the first thirty pages. It was….disturbing. The book was marketed to me as a -romance-. And ostensibly, the woman falls in love with one of the men who sexually assaults her after murdering her kidnapper and locking her up themselves.
Oh, but it’s not sexual assault! Because the man can use mind control to force her to like it, so it isn’t -really- rape.
That’s not romance. That’s Stockholm Syndrome. It’s disturbing and horrible and I had to bathe with bleach after reading the first six chapters of the first book.
