I really loved this story a lot! It pulls on the old heart strings! I normally shy away from books like this. This one I gave a go and was happy I did. The story started off amazing! Then slowed down in the middle But picked right back up to an exciting end.
The characters are lovely! Ellawyn and Beckett are both wonderful characters but I think my favorite is Benji. There are a few other liked secondary characters that I hope will be moved to get their own story.
Overall its a good story that easily kept my interest and turning pages. This is a new author for me and she did a good job with this story. I did find a few errors but I just did not let them bother me too heavily. Everything has a nice flow. Plus she made a lovely little town.

Devil’s Breath was definitely different. Not a different I was really a big fan of. However, don’t let how I feel deter you. This book may not be my thing, but it could be the book you fall in love with. The author did a fabulous job weaving a criminal web that keeps one interested. A story full of drugs, gangs, theft, and murder keeps you on your toes at every turn. Sera, a hired assassin, has just started the biggest job in her life. Rope in a billionaire, drain his accounts, and kill him. How hard could that be? Cassius is once again trying to bail out his brother Christian, to keep the strain off his parents. Little does he know Christian has other plans for him. Christian was the brother he idolized growing up and he turned into everything Cassius never expected. Meeting Sera has opened his eyes to a life he never thought he’d have. Unfortunately Sera’s lifestyle and father are a major complication in his happily ever after. It’s not a book I took with a grain of salt, it’s just not my thing. The action/romance are well written. Give it a chance and decide for yourself.

I’m a big fan of this series and this author in general. I’m also an extremely big fan of box sets. I love when authors put them together so it’s easy to know which one is next or whatever. Every single character in this series will have you completely hooked. Every story is a great read. They are all well written and you’ll find yourself perfectly content being lost in the pages for a while! Five stars all the way!!!

5 Stars Dark Sparrow Box Set: The Complete 6-Book Series (A Dark Sparrow Novel) by India Kells
This is a wonderfully written collection of six books in one boxset. Each book in this collection is just as good as the last. I’m a huge fan of this author and her style of writing along with amazing characters make for a epic story. This is one of those series that I will definitely be rereading in the future. This is a collection of six men they related as brothers but are bound by blood and then there’s the six women who all have their own secrets. And the father who is dangerous and out to get everyone . This collection is one you don’t want to miss .I highly recommend reading this collection To find out what happens next.

India Kells captured me! I do believe I read one of these individually and not in order before finding this and rereading from the beginning. Each book performs well on its own with different characters that intertwine and all around incredible stories with their own fair shares of steam, romance, conflict, chemistry, and surprises. You do not HAVE to read them all or in order but I would be surprised if you read one and didn’t want to wholly consume the others. The characters are just to die for. You cannot help but fall for them and their journeys. India is an incredible author spinning tales that take you to another place. I can not get enough from the author!

Ah, I loved this book so freaking much. Cassius and Sera were seriously amazing characters and couldn’t have been written better. It was a wild journey and I couldn’t put the book down. I went through pretty much every single emotion while reading it but I loved every second. I very highly recommend reading this book!

Finding Starlight is the first book in the Quimby Grove series, this can be read as a standalone. We meet Ellawyn who moves to Quimby Grove, Pennslyvania to escape her abusive relationship. She spends a lot of time in the local bookstore (a girl after my own heart) where she meets its owner Benji. Benji has been diagnosed with cancer and has asked her grandson Beckett to return to Quimby Grove to help her. We follow a dual point of view alternating between Ellawyn and Beckett.
I loved the relationship that grew between Benji and Ellawyn, Benji was a lovely character. The slow burn romance between Ellawyn and Beckett was everything I needed. The suspense and tension was more than I could handle and I will admit this made my heart melt and a few tears were shed. i would highly recommend this book!
Trigger warnings for cancer, grief, domestic violence and assault.

Ellawyn is running from her past, and stumbles into a quiet town which she believes she can live to rebuild herself. While there she spends most of her time is a little bookstore, Starlight Books and becomes friends with the owner Benji. While befriending the older store owner he decides to tell her his secret and that he will not be able to look after the store for much longer, Ellawyn offers to help run the store with Benji’s grandson Beckett.
Once Beckett arrives Ellawyn feels drawn to this man but with her history and the walls she has built up, will she ever feel like she can have a relationship again?
This is the first story I have read by this author. I enjoyed the small-town vibe, and the characters are well developed and written. Ellawyn’s character has been through a lot in her short life, and you feel the reluctance in her trusting anyone especially a man is heart-breaking. With the twists and turns of the story you feel drawn along to help them find out what is going on.
Although, I did feel in places the story was rushed and tried to get you to the conclusion too quickly and then others I felt could have been expanded a little more to give more back story to the characters, but although in saying this it did not deter me away from the book or the story. I would love to read the next instalment in this series and see what happens next.

There’s so much to unpack in this story. I finished this story a few days ago but it’s still on my mind. Ellawyn is a sweetheart. She’s strong, brave and creative. The trauma she endures was enough to break her completely but she pushed on. Benji has to be one of the best characters ever. You can’t help but fall in love with the guy. His grandson Beckett is way different than I pictured him being when he’s introduced. He is a great match for Ellawyn. There were a lot of realistic events that I could relate too. It’s not just hearts and rainbows in this story. You’ll experience love, grief,fear, sadness and happiness right along with the characters. I cannot wait for book 2 to come out. The story was a tad predictable but I feel like most romance stories are. But it’s still a good read.

I binged this series from start to finish, the box set is made up of Lost Bastard, Cold Bastard, Wild Bastard, True Bastard, Dark Bastard and King Bastard. This series is full of romance and suspense. It is a truly bingeable series, well written, fast paced and pulled me in from the first page to the last. Highly Recommended.

This was an AMAZING box set!! I absolutely loved everything about it! The authors writing was phenomenal and each story was a 5 star read for me! I loved every single story in the box set, each one is about a different brother and together just make for some phenomenal reading! I honestly cannot praise this series enough, I loved all of the books but think possible Cold Bastard is my favourite, the storyline was a little more complex as were the characters. Overall 6 AMAZING reads and a box set that I would highly recommend!

There are 6 books in this box set, and each one follows a different son – Aleksei, Archer, Kai, Liam, Sam, and Lazarus. I read Book 1, Lost Bastard and Book 5, Dark Bastard. Lost Bastard follows Deva and Aleksei. Deva is physical therapist and Aleksei is a cage fighter born out of Russia and has ties to Bratva. Now, after a decade, she is heading back to Chicago and is pulled back into the underground. You see, when Deva was rescued 10 years prior, she agreed to return the favor. That favor has been called in – now she must get close to Aleksei and report back what she has found out. But now she finds herself in danger once more. Dark Bastard follows Sam and Ellie. Sam was a soldier and was just about to give up on life. He meant to call his brother one last time but did a fat finger dial and ended up calling someone named Ellie, who felt in the same boat as Sam. What better way to start to the new year than in God’s presence, right? Both have a traumatic past they are dealing with and feel they would rather not deal with it at all. That one misdialed phone call will end up changing their path in life forever.

Here’s to the beginning and end of the Dark Sparrow. Zoe Somersby has taken her job to the limit. Her specialty is translating many languages, under cover. But she does not let on, so she can hear what is needed. To keep her boss safe. Be his ears during his business dealings. Learning everything could come to a halt. Archer Blackwood is the CEO of his own company, extremely good looking but he is cold and ruthless. Loaded with money Archer is in control of everything. He has hired Zoe, the one and only woman that has gotten under his skin.This story was filled with all kinds of angst and twists. Her characters will make you fall in love with them, well some of them anyway. Others will just keep you wondering when they will get to meet Karma. I am sad to see this series end. I’m excited that the book in the story is the oldest of the King brothers. Lazarus’s one goal in life is to protect his family. From his own father! I could not believe this man, the one to take care of his wife and children. Instead he made them pay for being in his selfish way. This story got me so twisted. There was the father, the brothers and their families. All trying to find their part in this story. Lazarus must put an end to his family’s nightmare. Meanwhile his heart is beginning to open, while not the best time to. Lazarus might have found his soulmate, but can he protect one more person in his life? This was a fantastic series. Each one is better than the one before. There were so many suspenseful roller coaster rides. I was thrown into the depths of so many emotions. I recommend you read this series in order, even though they can be read as a standalone? I feel it’s a must to get familiar with the whole family. As the end pulls the series to a close. No spoilers will be found. This story was filled with all kinds of angst and twists. Her characters will make you fall in love with them, well some of them anyway. Others will just keep you wondering when they will get to meet Karma. of his own company, extremely good looking but he is cold and ruthless. Loaded with money Archer is in control of everything.

Her characters will make you fall in love with them, well some of them anyway. Others will just keep you wondering when they will get to meet Karma. Now that she has a boxed set I can read them again all together. A must if you love re reading the series as I do. So feel free to get started with this series.

These brothers are going to be the death of me ! Can I just create my win harem and get it out of the way , that way they can be mine forever and always ?! ❣️😉😱😂🔥
Love the cover art !!!! ❤️📕
LOST BASTARD
So Deva has run from her MC dad and family as she was sold off and can I blame her !? Hell no ! Anyhow she’s started a new life as a physical therapist and damn she’s good at what she does but she gets a call , a favour needs returning , her rescuer now needs her ….
Beatrice runs Purgatory and her “ agents” are Dark Sparrows , they jump in when all other avenues and resources fail and now Lazarus King needs their expertise ……
First up is Alexksei , what a delectable piece of man meat he is ! He’s the first piece in the fight against their “donor” aka father Jamieson Finch
Deva is no fading wallflower let me tell you but even a strong woman has a weakness and it seems Alexksei is Achilles heel and girl I don’t blame you that man could convince a nun to give up her vows 😱🤷♀️😉
It was such a thrill being around Deva , Alexksei and the team and there were times I held my breath in anticipation and yes I even had time to have a cry in between all the bullets and fist fights .
With her history I understand Deva’s hesitation but at the same time girl get your Russian grove on ❣️😉
A brilliant start to what I feel in my bones is going to be a brilliant Boxset treat ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
COLD BASTARD
These boys are going to be the death of me yet ! Each one has their own personality I’m sure but I’ve a feeling Archer is going to be my favourite ❣️🔥
Zoe is a real little powerhouse , she’s a survivor , a protector and really gifted and you can’t help but love this girl !
Zoe and Archer cross paths(thanks to Gabrielle and Purgatory) when he decides to sell his oil refineries and her solecism set of expertise comes in rather handy …..
There were some nail biting moments for me where I held my breath to calm my breathing and still my heartbeat but Zoe also had a way that made me chuckle so she took care of me ❤️
Both Archer snd Zoe have painful history and scars and I think the healing they bring to each other is what makes me love them even more !
WILD BASTARD
Isabel is a very resourceful woman . She is hold , she is brave , she is beautiful and she is Kai’s Achilles heel !
Kai is usually the laid back one in the “ brotherhood” but being around Isabel is bring out the derelict side of our delectable Hawaiian shirt wearing hurry 😉🔥
Kai and Isabel have a history, a romantic one at that and it took me a bit to get to the heart of the story but be patient , it’s worth the wait 😉
Again , there were moments so intense I was grinding my teeth because I tensed up so bad 🤷♀️😱🤦♀️and I could feel my heart in my mouth ! But Isabel and her sharp wit, banter and replies had me snickering and laughing out loud , she might come across as an ice queen but she’s got heart ❤️ love you girl !
TRUE BASTARD
I was like super excited to discover more about Liam , he has a good heart that’s for sure !
He took in the stray that became part of the family thanks to Zoe and Chewy is a real sweetheart ❣️🐾 and I’m a firm believer in the way someone treats animals says a lot about their character and who they are !
Catriona, you’re a very special kind of human girl and you’ve left your mark on my heart , your character touched me in a special way ❣️🤗
Liam and Catriona both have scars and baggage from their past and the chemistry between them had me fanning myself ! Liam could melt the knickers off of a nun ( pardon the pun 😉)
As with the other brothers I was taken on a wild ride my emotions were all over the place 🤷♀️🤦♀️😂 I laughed , I cried , I was petrified and I loved ….again ❣️
DARK BASTARD
Sam has always been the quiet one , the one in the shadows , he keeps to himself really so to say I was excited to learn more of him would be a bit of an understatement……
Out of all the brothers I think Finch had the biggest hold on him or should I say he knew how to play mind games with Sam and I knew he was in for the battle of his life and he had an army behind him that cares …..
Ellie , you came into Sam’s life when he needed it most and for that I’m most grateful but it seems to me that you both found each other when you needed each other the must and didn’t even know it ❣️
These 2 people will always have a special place in my heart ❤️ like the previous brothers their story has twists , turns and moments where it felt like I could stop breathing but there was something different as well , something that touched me , I think it may be empathy , their lives and situations weren’t easy but they found healing with each other ! Love you Sam and Ellie
KING BASTARD
I didn’t want to read this book …. I wanted to read this book ….. what a raging war 😉❣️📕
I knew if I read this I’d finally see the fall of Finch but I’d also have to say goodbye to my boys and the friends of Purgatory and I must be honest , emotionally I wasn’t ready for such a big step … being a woman however curiosity got the better of me ……
Lazarus is the one who started it all , so I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Sasha comes to Chicago to rest but instead she gets Lazarus and war against Finch but there’s not a scared hair on this woman’s head and Lazarus has found his match ❣️
There’s so much I want to say about this grand finale but that jeans spoiler alerts and I’m not a fan !
It’s a brilliant end to a fantastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️series and it’s one to shout about off the rooftops and every book club should share these boys ❣️📕😉

This incredible book was so well written. I was taken with it from the very beginning! I ADORED Benji, felt for and related to Ellawyn and came to love Beckett. This book was well balanced with the perfect twists and turns. I was left on the edge of my seat a time or two and rejoiced at how it ended! It was well done all the way through, paced perfectly, engaging, and most of all made you feel. A wonderful book to get lost in and resurface for air feeling as if you have changed in some way! Could not recommend enough! Will definitely be looking for more from the author in the future!!

I am glad that I had the whole set of six books, I am sure that I would have become frustrated if had not had all of them because they are all page-turners. I had the I will finish this chapter and then go to bed and after three books I did. India Kells has a distinct way to drag you in the story and you feel like you are there. I wanted to help solve each one of the brother’s problems and I so wanted to take down their dad. All six of the boys are “bastard” children from a cold-hearted bastard himself, Finch emotionally, physically, and sexually abused his boys, and in each and every book so you the outcome of each and how they all want to take down this corrupt evil man.

Dark Sparrow Box Set: The Complete 6-Book Series is a great way to get a complete series all in one. I have read several in the series but this gives me the complete set so that I can read all the books in this series. Book 2: Cold Bastard The story is about Zoe Somersby and Archer Blackwood. Zoe had been brought in to work for Archer as an undercover agent. The characters are well written and allowed the story to flow. There was lots of suspense and mystery as well as a little romance. I really like this is a well-thought-out story and the characters are interesting people. Everyone is not always what one would assume. Book 4: True Bastard Liam and Catriona are fascinating to read about. The contrast between the two characters is so good and really made me enjoy their story even more. This story is not a straight romance but also contains action, thrills, and twists. Book 5: Dark Bastard This story follows Sam and Ellie. Both of them are going through a really rough time in life but can they help each other see the light? This book is about the depths of the human soul and how some handle it. There are some sensitive sections of sexual abuse and suicide. I believe the author handles them well and uses them to develop the characters. I liked the characters and it was interesting to finally get to more of Sam in this book.

The heat between Archer and Zoe is off the charts and there is one scene I had to give myself a minute. Who knew a conversation could be so hot?
This book and series is a good mix of suspense, romance and comedy. There were some laugh out loud moments from a few different people, one of which I didn’t expect.
Wild Bastard
Kai is a strong alpha who was once brought to his knees by a woman but he’s determined not to let that happen again.
Isabel has become a successful owner of a PR firm which has really taken off in the last couple of years. She’s approached by Jamison Finch to help him but is this a good idea or will she be working with the devil.
True Bastard
This series has been amazing so far and I love Liam and how he makes sure he is nothing like his father which I could relate to. He’s quite the stand up guy and he would do anything for Catriona even when he felt like he should be fighting it.
Catriona is an amazing woman with a heart of gold and God’s ear. She brings so much happiness and joy to everyone she meets. Cary and Ted broke and melted my heart.
Dark Bastard
Dark is the perfect description for Sam. His history with his “father” is something worse that I imagined it to be. I knew Finch was the scum of the earth but he has proven that title is too kind.
Sam manages to try and climb out of the darkness only after a misdialed call and fate has something else in mind for him.
Ellie is something else, she wants to help everyone and seems to have taken it upon herself to save them even if they don’t want to be saved and it’s taken it’s toll on her. Her need to save may be just what Sam needs.
I know going in there will be some danger and suspense when I read the books from this series, but I for some reason seem surprised when it happens, but I can’t seem to put the book down no matter what.
The relationship these brothers have is amazing, though not raised together they have an incredibly tight bond which leaves no doubt on who has their backs.

This is a great must read series that will have you on the edge of your seat.
True Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #4) by India Kells was a good 4 star read and can be read as a stand alone.
Liam was injured on the job and is still working on bringing his father down, along with his brothers. Knowing that they need some additional help, we meet Catriona. As soon as Liam meets her there are some instant sparks. There is only one problem, Catriona is a nun.
Will she be able to help Liam? Can Liam stay away from Catriona and keep it professional?
These two have similar childhoods, Catriona was an orphan raised by nuns and Liam was raised by his uncle. There is so much going on, you are on the edge of your seat. The author does a great job with her writing. We get suspense, danger, romance and so much more.
Overall this was a great read. All of the characters added a great element to the story.
Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow, #5) This was a great 5 star read. Once I started I couldn’t put it down.
Sam was ready to make a choice. While making one last phone call to his brother, he ends up calling a wrong number and talks to a woman who sounds like she needs to be saved. Sam’s plans change and he is determined to find this woman. With his brother’s help he is able to find where she works and lives.
These two both have heartbreaking pasts. And unfortunately Sam’s dark past comes back to haunt them. Can Sam keep Ellie safe and have a HEA with her?
Overall this was a great read. I will warn that there are triggers in the story. The author does a great job with her writing, you feel like you’re right there with the characters. My emotions were all over the place.
King Bastard (Dark Sparrow, #6) This was a thrilling 5 star read. Once I started I didn’t want to put it down. Lazarus (Oz) quickly became my favorite in this series.
Sasha comes to Chicago to work, she ends up getting a call from an old friend asking her to help with something. Little did she know who her friend’s son was, Oz. When they came face-to-face old feelings came flooding back. You can feel the attraction between them but Oz tries to keep her at arms length to try and protect her. His crazy father is still on the loose and until he finds him none of his loved ones will be safe.
Will Oz be able to keep her safe? Will he finally give in to his feelings for her?
Overall I really enjoyed this book, it was the last one in the series. It can be read as a stand alone but it’s much better if you read them all. All of the characters added a great element to the story. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I look forward to reading more from her. If you’re looking for a great series to read 1-click and get started today on this one.

If you haven’t already gotten each and every one of these books, now is the time. Get this series. It is amazing.
Each book features a different brother on the same mission. To regain their life after finding each other and escape the clutches of their depraved father. As the brotherhood cements and their father continues to evade their efforts to bring him down, each brother finds a reason to keep fighting. The path towards happiness for all the brothers culminates with the destruction of their father’s world, his influence, and him.
This series is fantastic. The characters continue to grow as their lives intertwine through each new episode. The author should receive praise for years to come for this series. Superb!!!

“Six bastard sons, bound by blood. Six smart and sensual women with secrets of their own. And one evil father bent on destroying them all”. The author of this amazing box set has summed it up perfectly. Just how much more awesome does it get than when one of your favourite authors puts all 6 outstanding books in a series into 1 perfect box set? This is one of those series that I know I’ll read over and over and never tire of. Six very different sons all have their own amazing stories to tell and I absolutely loved every single one of them. In this box set we get the following 6 full length romantic suspense novels: Lost Bastard – Alexei’s story Cold Bastard – Archer’s story Wild Bastard – Kai’s story True Bastard – Liam’s story Dark Bastard – Sam’s story King Bastard – Lazarus (Oz)’s story.
Each story has something very different to offer but all are as thrilling and enticing as the other. These men and hard but when they meet the women who they are meant to be with, you see a totally different side to them. The stories are raw and can be brutal but are so gripping and will drag you through a roller coaster of emotions. You will laugh, and if you are like me, you will cry.
I honestly can’t say one bad thing about this set of books. This author just keeps producing amazing books that I love and I hope she continues doing so for a long time to come.

They are filled with action and dark romance and is just pure excitement to read. If you haven’t already I would urge you to get these books today. This is a fantastic author and I would highly recommend her work.

The Dark Sparrow Box Set by India Kells is amazing. I have read this series from the first book to the last book, each one better than the one before it. The storyline deals with a dark subject. The characters are fully developed and complicated. One thing I love about India Kells is her attention to detail. She paints a vivid picture with her details. I found myself engrossed in all the books. I had to leave enough time so that when I started one of the books I could finish it on the same day. If you like romance with a little suspense in them you will love India Kells Dark Sparrow Box Set.

This series, which focuses on six brothers and the women who gain their attention, is a dark series. Each man has their own reason for why they are so dark but it appeals to the special woman. For those that like dark romances, this one is particularly dark. It will grab hold of you and keep you distracted from your life until you finish the series. The stories are well written and captivating. You will not be disappointed with this series.

This is a great completed series by India Kells. The series focuses on six brothers who’s job it is to bring their father down. Each brother has a Dark Sparrow (ie their FMC) that has been tasked in helping to bring him down. However daddy dearest isn’t the greatest of guys and will stop at nothing to avoid his fate. The storylines and romance in each book is great and keeps you reading! But be warned, you may stay up too late reading as you’ll start and won’t realize that it’s suddenly 3 am!

He thrives in the dark until she sparks his flame, igniting his new purpose.
Magnetic, brilliant, and achingly stunning, Remington Starke is a dangerous man with a vision, a mission, and a threatening past that haunts him. That alone should keep him away from the only woman who has ever made him feel anything.
Creative, cautious, and canny, Audri Wu is imprisoned by a guilt that torments her soul. Despite the darkness, she sees the rainbow in the rain and the spark that lies beyond the hardened façade of a man who has a reputation for shattering hearts.
Her boss.
Her protector.
Her brother’s best friend.
Water to her fire.
As their romance begins, that past catches fire and burns away the lies, revealing deadly secrets that could destroy them both.

Dark Sparrow Box Set: The Complete 6-Book Series contains the entire collection of books in the Dark Sparrow Series by India Kells. I keep saying it, but I have loved everything India Kells has written, and these books are no exception. She is one of my favourite authors and I one-click anything she releases, no questions asked. This is a fantastic opportunity to get a complete series in one exciting boxset. They definitely provide a riveting read, from beginning to end- as expected Ms. Kells has woven some really gripping, well thought out, and completely engrossing stories. Each book focuses on one of the bastard ‘brothers’ and the woman who steals his heart. But the brothers also have recurring roles in the overall series too. Each book adds to the series, building on what came previously, painting a bigger picture in the process, adding layers and facets to the overall storyline. My review for each individual book can be found on each title, separately, below is a general overview of this thrilling boxset.
The Box Set contains:
–Lost Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book One) This is Aleksei and Diva’s story. If you are a MMA/ Russian Mafia romantic suspense lover, then this is one book you won’t want to miss.
–Cold Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book 2) We follow Archer and Zoe through all the intriguing developments in this fantastic second chance romance. Even though I have adored all the books and characters in this series- this one dug itself a little deeper into my heart and is definitely one of my favourites.
–Wild Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book 3) I loved Isabelle and Kai’s story, and I am sure you will too. There is danger, suspense and second chances that will have you hooked right till the end.
–True Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book 4) This is the story of Liam Harker and Sister Catriona Walsh. The sinner and the nun. Yes, a nun!!! And their story was every bit as intriguing as you might imagine! I loved that this book also helps to build a bigger picture of the brothers and their on-going father issues.
–Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book 5) Sam and Ellie’s story- OMG did I feel for those two. They have been through so much and I was so happy they found each other- but that’s not to say there weren’t a few anxious moments through the story. I could feel their sadness and the weight of their ‘burdens’. Sam was ready to end it all- but a misdialled number connects him with Ellie- and so the adventure began.
–King Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book 6) This was such a bittersweet read for me. Having read all the previous instalments, I truly connected with this band of brothers and looked forward to following each one as they got their own book. So, knowing this was the last book in the series was sad- I was sooo not ready to say goodbye…. But at the same time, I desperately wanted to know how things would finally play out, but more importantly, getting a front row seat to the ‘Oz’ show- and what a fantastic show it was!! Ms. Kells definitely had me completely engrossed in the story- I devoured the book in a couple of hours, just so I could find out what happens.
These books are so well written with lots of complexities, depth, and texture- which resulted in exciting and incredibly compelling stories. There was a lot of funny quips and banter too, which help to lighten and balance all the action, emotion, and highly charged moments that occur throughout the series. I love the way Ms. Kells develops her characters, they are all fantastic, and entirely interesting (even the baddies)- pulling me further and further into the story, and always leaving me with a desperate need to know what’s going to happen next. Ms. Kells creates quite brilliant, intricate, and suspenseful storylines which included lots of action, danger, deadly games of cat and mouse, perilous situations, evil masterminds, lots of secrets, difficult choices, shocking revelations, electrifying chemistry, plenty of sizzle… and so much more! I really recommend this Box Set, as I am sure you will love it just as much as I have. I can’t wait for Ms. Kells next release, whatever that may be! Happy Reading!
