How can you repair something that should have been unbreakable? Darric, Blaze and Conner had been together for centuries, and their bond, like their love, should have been eternal. Blaze is trying not only to hold his family together, but stop himself falling apart.
The fragile relationship between the werewolves and the humans is at risk once more, and the goddess Sirius seems to have deserted them. Inexplicable changes are taking place to their little Omega, and while Aden’s powers are increasing, Conner seems to be losing his.
The terrorist group, The Winter Circle, is getting bolder and placing everyone in danger. Worse, there is a traitor among them, perhaps someone a lot closer than they want to admit. Just when Blaze thought the worst that could have happened is behind them, the traitor is revealed, and Blaze realizes that their circle is not only broken, but in danger of being irreparably torn apart. **2017 new edition - re-edited, new cover. No story changes**
Victoria writes about guys loving other guys in between dodging bullets, kidnappers, and serial killers. She enjoys putting them through hell to get their happy ever after—it’s a character flaw she embraces.
She also believes that family is who you choose, that dogs are often much wiser than human beings, and that we’re steadily destroying the world we live in.
And if people read more books, they'd be much happier.
Heart ripped to shreds again dammit! I had forgotten who the traitor was and why. He got what he deserved.
Originally read July 2017
Holy crap! This author sure does know how to rip your heart out, shred it to pieces then put it back together. Two books in a row and I'm balling like a baby.
After reading book 2, I immediately jumped into book 3. Darric is gone, there's a traitor in the pack who's in the inner circle, Kellan is causing problems and Aden is pregnant again. How in the hell is the author going to pull all this together and make it work out? I could not read fast enough. And man...here I go crying again and thinking this can't be the end of it all. Luckily, it all works out and my heart is mended.
I had a feeling I knew who the traitor was and had started putting the pieces together. While his story is tragic, he got what he deserved.
These aren't meant to be standalones. While the author does do some recapping, I think it was just meant to refresh your memory of events after waiting for the next book. Lucky me, I was able to move from one to the next. I think I would have thrown my iPad if I had had to wait for the next one.
On to book 4. There's another MMMM mate group with some really damaged guys. I can't wait to see how that's all going to pan out.
Much, much better than the first two books, and was worth the irritation Aden gave me. I love how the author wrapped their story up, really clever and kept me hooked. Once I started Eternal Circle I had to read it in one sitting, so I'm dragging today.
Lots of review for this one already but I need to say .....
Lorraine, I'll let you say "I told you so, ner ner ner ner nerrrrr"! 😂😂
I liked that we finally got Connor’s perspective, but that was really all this installment had going for it. Major disappointment compared to the first two. Taking Darric out of the equation threw their whole dynamic off, the story felt very awkwardly strung together. However everything got tied into a nice perfect bow at the end and we got Darric back, so I bumped my rating up to a three.
*Also these covers just keep getting uglier; I almost don’t even want them on my shelves.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
It practically broke my heart to start the third book in the series knowing that Darric was gone, dead at the hands of a young man who'd been tortured, abused, and manipulated. I was still holding out hope, though, because I believed that Sirius wouldn't allow her alpha triad to be missing its third for too much longer. It's bad enough that Aden is pregnant again, and their world is in a constant state of upheaval.
Conner has been having difficulties recently with his empathic abilities, but when they're attacked, Aden, Blaze, and Conner come to the realization that their unborn child has some very strong gifts, and perhaps he or she is causing the disruption for Conner. Just what they need, right, a really strong newborn? However, even worse than all of this, is when the existence of shifters accidentally becomes known to humans, and Orion's Circle along with the US government have to take a step they weren't planning on doing quite so soon. Best part of the press conference? A Denver reporter asks about Aden's pregnancy, throwing everything into a turmoil.
I'd like to say I was surprised by the traitor’s reveal, but I had suspected him for a very long time. But the author did an excellent job of it, and if I wasn't so smart, I would have been shocked. *grins* Oh this traitor made me angry, even angrier than the old doctor of Aden's pack. This man thinks he knows it all, and he's certainly been planning for a long time, but he's underestimated Aden, the son Aden carries, and the love of Sirius and her husband, Orion.
Thank you, Victoria. I knew if I held on to my hope, my wish might be granted. Too bad it only happens in fiction, but in this instance I was very happy. Don't think that all the troubles are gone now, even though they defeated the traitor, as The Winter Circle continues to cause problems. The gods themselves are struggling. Sirius is being threatened with eternal banishment, and another god has been secretly plotting against Sirius for centuries. The excitement is sure to continue. I love this series!
NOTE: This book was provided by the publisher for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews
I think it takes a pretty gutsy author to kill off a main character but that is what Victoria Sue did in Broken Circle and I was left devastated. I knew this book was due and was more than a little curious as to how the story would go forward. For Blaze and Connor I wondered if they would be able to move on at all after losing a man that had been by their sides for centuries and how would Aden cope losing one of the men he loved. Would Darric gifting him his wolf be enough?
It seems the time for grieving is short lived as the remaining triad are plagued with more adventures – and not the good kind. Aden is pregnant again causing more worry as he isn’t thriving. Connor is struggling with his abilities and fears he may be losing a part of himself. Blaze is trying to hold everything firmly together whilst dealing with the government over military issues. Since losing Darric everything feels fuzzy and off and they are not working well together as they have in the past.
It seems like Madden’s hatred and craziness will never leave the wolves alone – the man is dead yet still his evil past is affecting things. The Winter Circle is still a threat and it is now obvious that the traitor is one of their own but finding that person and stopping them before it is too late is looking less and less likely to happen.
Even though this is book 3 in the series there is still a lot of character development happening. Kudos to Victoria for keeping our interest as I literally couldn’t put this down until I had finished it. There are more than enough twists to keep you on your toes until the traitor is revealed and there are some very tense moments as the author cleverly brings the story to its conclusion.
The ending of this book could mean one of two things. Either that’s the end of it or it’s a respite until we see more of boys and continue to follow their story and I honestly can’t decide which I want more as Sirius’s Wolves deserve some happiness!
Eternal Circle picks up right where the last book left off. The guys are doing well, though still mourning the loss of Darric. Blaze is busy trying to be everything to all, trying to pick up the pieces and move forward with his family. Conner is having some trouble with his power and connections to the other guys, and his emphatic abilities seem to be a little bit unpredictable. Aden is doing well with Darric’s wolf and getting more comfortable with that connection. He’s now pregnant with their second child but is having some issues with appetite, etc. that have the men worried.
Meanwhile, relations with the humans are still strained. The groups are moving forward with implementing the integration of the wolves with the human military, but the Winter Circle is still causing problems. In addition, the traitor has still not been discovered, though there are a few suspects.
It all comes to a head eventually, the traitor is revealed and many questions are answered. The guys have to go through quite an ordeal before they get their happy ending, but it is well worth it. Those who were unhappy with the ending in the last book (and who wouldn’t be?), will be thrilled with how it all plays out here. Ms. Sue did a wonderful job bringing everything full circle and wrapping up things in an interesting and exciting way.
This has been a very interesting and fun series. Each book delivers just as much as the ones before it, and with the overall issues still remaining with the humans and the whole reason for the existence of the Sirius Wolves, there is plenty of room for the continuation of this world. I’m looking forward to seeing the continued happiness of these guys, as well as how the rest of the story goes as their hard work and plans are put into action.
Original review on Molly Lolly Four and a half stars! This story is so good. It brings the circle of Aden, Darric, Blaze and Conner back around so their story is complete. There are still things in the world Ms. Sue created that need addressing. However, it’s not part of their story anymore. Though I do hope we get to see them in future books in support roles so we can catch up with them. The bad guy is who I guessed it was at the end of book two. But it’s also not as easy as that. I loved the twists and turns in this story to get to the reveal at the end. Such a beautiful and sweet happy ending. I’m very eager for the next book in this series to find out how the werewolves handle things going forward. Especially given the revelations at the end of the story.
J’avais hâte de retrouver cette série. Le tome 2 nous avait à la fois livré un moment empli de tristesse, mais un autre porteur d’espoir pour le ménage. Il me tardait donc d’en savoir un peu plus. Étant donné le comportement de Blaze dans le tome précédent, je m’attendais plus ou moins à retrouver le même schéma ici. Or, ce ne fut pas le cas à ma plus grande surprise. Dans cet opus, il se comporte vraiment comme l’Alpha qu’il est. Entre les attaques du Cercle d’Hiver et les projets de coalition avec les humains, il est grandement occupé et mis sous pression. De même, Conner l’épaule dans tous les rebondissements qu’ils doivent affronter. Ils peuvent tous les deux compter sur leur Oméga Aden pour se ressourcer. Tous les trois forment une jolie famille avec leur fille Beth. Au milieu de tous les évènements qui jalonnent ce tome, Aden découvre de nouvelles aptitudes le concernant qu’il doit apprivoiser. Dans cet opus, les rebondissements s’enchaînent jusqu’à la trahison ultime. Je suis passée par une multitude d’émotions tant j’ai eu peur, j’ai ragé, j’ai eu mal au cœur pour cette famille. Encore une fois, l’auteur nous surprend par ses choix et nous offre une fin de roman des plus inattendues. Avec ce nouvel élément et les différentes révélations découvertes dans ce tome, j’ai hâte de lire ce que nous réserve l’auteur pour la suite de cette série. Un tome riche et envoûtant.
After reading Broken Circle, book #2 in the Sirius Wolf series, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to read any more about these wolves. That book wrecked me. Killing a main character? Had the author lost her mind!? But the trouble was, I was already hooked. I needed to know what happened next, there was still so much that needed to be resolved. So with much trepidation I opened the book and began to read. And I read all of one page before I broke and looked at the ending. I couldn’t do it! I’m weak! But it just took the glimpse of one particular name to make everything right and better and restore my faith in this series.
We start this story with Aden once again pregnant with his mates’ child and in seclusion as his knocked up state starts to become obvious. Connor is struggling to use his faulty empathic abilities, something that the four lovers have always been able to rely on and he has no idea why they might be failing him now. Blaze is blessedly not acting like a douchecanoe, in fact, as my least favourite MC in the previous books, I was very happy to finally like the guy. And on top of everything else the three of them are still struggling to come to terms with the death of their fourth mate, Darric.
This book continues some open plot threads from the previous books and shouldn’t be attempted as a standalone. The plans to integrate wolves into the military have progressed to the point where a team is ready to be deployed. However their attempted to ease the human population into awareness of paranormal creatures comes unstuck when an emergency causes Blaze to expose their existence. We finally discover who the traitor is, their identity being a rather startling choice, and several secondary characters are moved into position to have their story told.
This was a great continuation of the series. Even missing one of their beloved mates, for the first time I really felt the love and the connection between these wolves. Also, I’m pretty sure the “badguy” in this book topped all the others. He (or she) was delightfully, absolutely, insanely evil and I loved that the author kept their identity totally secret.
I had thought that this was a three book series but the tale of Orion’s Circle is definitely not complete. Perhaps the following books will have different main characters but I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of these guys too. And I’ve learnt my lesson. No more cussing, trust in Victoria Sue.
I’ll admit it. I read this book the same night I finished the second one because I’m clearly a masochist and like being in pain. I just couldn’t leave the wounds alone and had to find out what happened next to Aden, Blaze, Conner, and Darric. I’m happy to say that after even more crying, I was happy with the ending I got.
This book in the series is by far my favorite. Characters reach new depths, more of the legend of the wolves is told, and an even more evil villain shows up. And it’s someone I never expected. I was completely blown away, and right before it was revealed, I literally proclaimed, “NO WAY!” and could hardly read fast enough.
Well played, Victoria Sue. Well played. I did NOT see that coming. Holy cow.
This third book follows the boys as everything gets more intense. Conner is losing his empathic abilities, and Aden is struggling with this second pregnancy following so soon on the heels of the first. Blaze struggles to keep it together and be strong for this mates, but there’s still a traitor to unearth, wolves making trouble, and revealing their presence to humans.
Kellan, a former pack member of Aden’s, is causing trouble, and Conner finally gets to the bottom of it, but his inability to accurately sense emotions could doom them all. Again, I was not expecting the resolution to this one, either. Wow.
Just as in the first two books there are inconsistencies and some discrepancies with the other books that could be fixed with stronger editing. However, either I’ve gotten used to it or they weren’t as prevalent in the other books, because I didn’t mind nearly as much, and it didn’t detract from my enjoyment.
This book cannot be read as a standalone. You absolutely must read the first two, because the events in this book directly follow what happens in the first two. Could you get away with it? Probably, because the author did a good job of getting the readers caught up to speed, but why would you want to? Go back to the first two books and enjoy the ride.
Now, can I please have the next book? I want to know more about Ricoh and his mate(s) and the young snow white shifter from the beginning of the book. Oh, and I’d like to see more of Kellan as well.
After ripping my heart out in Broken Circle, Victoria Sue has redeemed herself with this book. Not to say it was an easy ride, because it really was not. Nothing is easy for this group of mates.
After the death of Darric, the three left behind are learning to adjust to having their fourth member being gone, well sort of gone. But I will let you discover what I mean by that. Blaze is dealing with not only a missing piece of his heart, but also with the growing issues with Winter Circle and other human dealings.
Conner seems to be losing his gifts and no one knows why. Not only is Darric gone, but Conner feels helpless to help Blaze. On top of it all Adan is pregnant again and having issues that cause Conner to worry about him.
A whole hell of a lot happens in this book. Really too much to list or explain. But yes there is very much a happily ever after, kind of, for these lovers and mates. They have a lot of problems getting there and people are hurt or die. A traitor that is so much closer than anyone ever thought is revealed and damn near manages to takes everyone out with him.
This book was one hell of a roller coaster ride from start to finish. The writing was fast paced and well done. I was engrossed from start to end in the story. The last few chapters had me on the edge of my seat reading and wondering how it would all go.
Through it all some questions are finally answered, but a hell of a lot more are raised. The ending leaves it wide open for this world to continue. Weather it will be with these characters again or others from the pack I do not know. But I really hope to read more about them all.
This is another one of those times were I read this book and should have read the others first.. I was not too confused with this one though I would not recommend reading this one as a stand alone. Now I am not used to reading about male pregnancies so this was interesting to me and I really did like it from a males point of view. Aden is pregnant with their second child while bad things are happening around the three of them. I think in the book before they lost their fourth mate Darric and they were all trying to cope with the loss of him too. Conner was also losing his empath powers and trying to figure out why. Blaze was the supreme alpha who was trying to take care of his mates while running his pack. A lot happens in this book and I really loved the ending but I do not want to give away any spoilers so I will leave it at that.
All together I really loved this book! I would recommend this book but read the other two first!
I received this book free in exchange for an honest review from Inked Rainbow Reads
So – Darric is gone, but the mates have a little one to raise and the Winter Circle to defeat so they have to band together and pull it together.
As with books one and two there is tons of drama: Aden gets a wolf from Darric as he’s dying and the wolf helps him to communicate with Darric from the other side. Kellan is still around and is having trouble still. The Winter Circle kidnaps Blaze this time and it’s up to Aden and Conner to save him. Luckily, Sirius and her husband Orion interfere just when things are looking bleak and save them all- including Darric! (Oh, and Aden is pregnant again with a super powerful pup this time that can do things from inside the womb!)
**
I was ever so pleased to read this. I finally got our boy Darric back and could feel good about the series again. I loved the special powers the new pup looks like it has and I thought the twist in the plot was really well done.
Having all four back and happy together again made reading book two ok for me. So … I’m apologizing again for not having faith.
ALERT: This book contains scenes of torture, violence, blood, and many other sorrowful things. However despite all that it is a excellent addition to the series and ending unless Victoria Sue has more plans for her wolves however,I hope this is the last book in the series because Aden and his mates have been thorough too much sorrow. However this book provides a excellent happy ending. It was a excellent read and had me guessing til the end who the bad guy was. Victoria Sue's Sirius Wolves books are a excellent read and I'd highly recommended them to any M/M paranormal romance fan. However you should read the books in order to fully understand the plot. Her world that she has created is full of fascination and wonder but also pain and sorrow.
I really loved this book.I loved to have Connor's POV added to Blaze's and Aden's. It made for an interesting read. But again, this book had errors, plus in this and the previous book, the author mentioned Blaze's eye colour wrong in one instance each. It irritated me even after I finished reading it. Also, this book had the exactly same worded explanation for the "lupus" disease as in the previous book. It would have been better if they had been different. It made me quite angry, reading the same piece again. So again, one star less. But the plot was pretty solid. I cried when it seemed the entire circle was going to be broken. And loved the superpowers of Saska!;-) I would have loved to know what happened with Nicoh, Hunter and Nate!!:-(
I could not have asked for more in this series! This installment was perfection! Aden, Blaze, Conner and Darric have finally overcome the enemy and are together in life and love. Beautifully written, all the angst and heartbreak were worth it to get to this point. Many questions answered and the enemy brought to light as Aden fights to bring his Alpha's back together and protect his family.
I must admit that at one point close to the end, I was threatening all sorts of angry emails and to never buy another book by the author. Thankfully she resolved the story into a true HEA. I strongly recommend having a strong drink and a box of Kleenex on hand when you read this series.
I was wondering how things would go on after the way the second book ended. This one answered all the questions and gave us a HEA, finally! I do wish there had been a bit more at the end after the action and a prolonged happy resolution, but this was a solid read. This is the second series I have enjoyed from this author, so I look forward to what she comes up with next!
After the last book in this series where the author ripped out my heart and stamped on it I was nervous. Very nervous at one point .... but I forgive her. This story is ..... Well .... awesome and leaves me with happy tears :-)
I will definitely be looking up this author in the future. I wonder what is going happen next. It is a really good series. The way she ended though tells me this is the last book. That makes sense one for each wolf.
Ok, I love paranormal books. I freely admit I'm not fond of male pregnancy stories. This book has won me over. I am enjoying the world building, the character development, and the mini mysteries of each story. I almost put it down when the pain became too much to endure reading the torture these characters go through. There is horrifying pain and unrelenting torturous acts that are inflicted upon the main characters. Choices have to be made that no parent/friend/lover should ever have to decide. It made my stomach hurt, and I cried. However, that is the trademark of an excellent author; they weave a storyline that is filled with twists and turns, making the reader care about what happens in the end. Strap in....there's a hell of an ending!
Okay, I really liked this series but it drove me nuts. The big bad guys are always winning, doing damage, hurting, killing. The good guys get rid of one and another springs up even worse. Each time more damage, hurting, killing. And then suddenly in the last chapter or so... everything is solved.
I really hated Sirius by the end of the series. She meddled just enough to set them all up and then when they needed her... oops, she was busy with her own problems. Cripes.
I liked the characters... but the bad guys were getting just too bad for me to handle. In other words, recommended but be warned.
