5 - "I'm not afraid if I'm with you..." Stars!

The companion novel to The Hunt series see’s chaos demon Malachi Saevitia and Ella Thomas get their HEA. This is a couple who in the previous books rubbed each other up in completely the wrong way, but you know what they say about the boy that pulls your pigtails in the playground the hardest…

He heard her every movement, every breath, and it was driving him fucking mad…

Liz never takes the route you are expecting when it comes to her story lines, an ...more

5/5 - Finally MALACHI x ELLA’s story!!

⭐ Demons x Angels x Vampires x Witches = PNR DREAM

⭐ The Uprising is book 5 in the The Hunt series. Also known as a companion novel. You must read The Hunt before this book, it’s not a standalone. The gang is back: Severus x Moira, Alaric, Cordelia, Malachi, and Ella. Along with a new villain.

⭐ This is going to be vague because I’m not one for spoiling...

I’ve been #TeamMalachi since I first met him in Stalker (book 3 of The Hunt series). He’s a chaos demon 5/5 - Finally MALACHI x ELLA’s story!!

⭐️ Demons x Angels x Vampires x Witches = PNR DREAM

⭐️ The Uprising is book 5 in the The Hunt series. Also known as a companion novel. You must read The Hunt before this book, it’s not a standalone. The gang is back: Severus x Moira, Alaric, Cordelia, Malachi, and Ella. Along with a new villain.

⭐️ This is going to be vague because I’m not one for spoiling...

I’ve been #TeamMalachi since I first met him in Stalker (book 3 of The Hunt series). He’s a chaos demon and older brother to Severus. He’s snarky and loves to stir up, well chaos. Malachi meets Ella in Stalker as well — she’s Moira’s longtime BFF. Their chemistry was off the charts from the beginning — Ella stabbed Malachi in the hand with her fork because he tried to take her food without asking (one of my most favorite scenes). That’s their relationship. He trying to dominate and she putting him his place. It all comes from a deep rooted love neither of them want to acknowledge until they can’t ignore their feelings anymore.

This book was expertly written. Liz makes you feel what the characters are experiencing. I felt how Ella was torn between Moira and her own feelings toward Malachi. I felt the tension. And grieving she has to walk through. Her desperation at times. I felt uncomfortable with Malachi when Moira was butting in to he and Ella’s situation.

And Malachi. What a babe. He steps up when Ella needs him. Freely gives and honestly doesn’t take anything in return. Yes they have off the charts sexy times but it wasn’t a condition, it was natural.

I’m going to be honest, Moira was working my nerves for a minute. She was a catalyst for angst. I’m not a huge angst fan and Ella didn’t need help in that department. At least with Ella her’s was a controlled and justified angst. In the end everything works out. The series ends with a surprise HEA for one couple, not saying who *spoilers* and Malachi x Ella have a perfect HFN.

⭐️ LIZ can we please have a novella with a Mella update, please?

⭐️ I received an ARC from the author in exchange for a honest review.

♥️ Thank you Liz, for these amazing characters. I loved the ride and will love each of them forever. This series is special for me.

(Thank you Liz for the eARC!)

4.5 stars. Visiting Farrow's Hollow once again and seeing all of my favorites was so, so much fun. I love THE HUNT, so I was all in for a companion novel about Ella and Malachi (although Moira and Severus are still my favs). From page one it kept me guessing and I was not expecting that ending!

I received a copy of this ARC in exchange of my honest review.
I don’t want to say that I am disappointed by this book, but I am going to say that having read this separately from “The Hunt” series (with almost a year apart, and my taste in books changing) might have impacted a bit into what I ended up thinking about this book.

It honestly took a different road on what I was expecting it chose for it to start and continue and end, and although I do have to say that I was a bit not happy with the author’s choice (although it is her book, so she is the one who does all the choice) it didn’t convince me till Ella and Malachi finally got together, and that was when my dark could heart started warming up.
I have been rooting for this couple since she puked on his foot (because is it true love if you don’t puke on him and don’t stab him with a fork? I and Malachi think absolutely not) and to see them start rocky was a true heartbreak and the suffering of them trying to stay apart (and Malachi doing every mistakes in the book, but I honestly love him the same, because he is the “asshole of my heart”) it destroyed me honestly but to see them stand and finally get through their own problems fighting with (literally, for Ella) teeth and claws for each other (and against each other) they became so so much stronger and honestly the confirmed they are one of my favorite paranormal couple.
Alongside Moira and Severus (like I honestly didn’t expect to miss them this much, but when they came into the picture my first thought was “MY BABIES! I JUST LOVE YOU SO MUCH! KEEP ON BEING MY FAVORITE KINKY COUPLE!) and also I was very happy to see Alaric and Cordelia (and let’s admit it: we are all grateful they got together, somehow, like ladies if you stalk your crush enough he will eventually cave in) (even faster if you are a badass witch with a taste for the Victorian style).
Honestly Liz Meldon’s smut scenes are my favorite because she clearly manages to make BDSM looks like something much less discriminated and burlesque than many books of these years have relegated to (also… I just love the dialogue between Malachi and Ella, like when he told her what to do and she went like “don’t tell me what to do”, that is what I am looking in a relationship, someone who tries to warn me not to get into trouble, but I know that will save my pretty butt, because I am a reckless girl) (I am joking the most risky thing I actually do is not charge my iPad).
I do think that her stories always reflects an healthy kind of relationship (and although it is Moira and Severus who digs deeper into the BDSM aisle) I always enjoy the dynamics of power and how they are written and described, clearly empowering Ella and her sexuality (I don’t know if I like more her or Malachi actually)-
Also they are extremely well-written, but they are not the kind that you can write in public (mostly because I, for example, giggle a lot to release tension and that is a bit creepy to see…)
I also love her pop-culture references (*insert here Captain America gif of “I understood that reference”*) (you put Harry Potter in one of your books and I will love you for ever and if my soul wasn’t already in Hell I would have gladly give it to her).
I don’t think that there is much more to say (also because I honestly don’t want to spoil the plot-twist because it was something I wasn’t expecting and get ready for it, both physically and psychologically and also get ready for finishing this book and realize that Malachi is not real), except that you need to read this book (because I honestly don’t think that there isn’t a reason why you shouldn’t’ love Malachi and Ella) and if you haven’t read this series (“The Hunt”) WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE? You need Liz Meldon’s books in your life. ...more

A fabulous addition to the paranormal world of Farrow’s Hallow …

I really enjoyed this entertaining paranormal romance! It’s a well written companion story that begins directly where The Hunt serial left off. This story revolves around Ella Thomas, Moira’s sassy, feisty human bestie as she prepares for life after college while living in a house full of paranormals. Good thing she doesn’t have sexy-as-sin chaos demon Malachi Saevitia dogging her every move and messing with her emotions – or is it? ...more

I’m in shock. My brain is completely numb. I have no idea how I’m going to find the right words to explain what this book has just put me through. There’s action and intrigue, plot twists that take you down dark alleys you never thought you’d explore, and an emotional undertow that swept my bawling backside out to sea. I loved coming back to these characters to see what happens next but reaching the end of the book and realizing that I might just have to say “goodbye” to them this time, just abo ...more

Wow, just wow. The plot threw me off so many times. It is one of those books where you think you have it figured out but then it blindsides you. Liz Meldon has the uncanny ability to weave a story that includes action, intrigue, violence, hot sex and plot twists that feel as though you are on an emotional roller coaster. Brilliantly written (as usual). The chemistry between Malachi and Ella which we already experienced in The Hunt explodes in this book. The snappy dialogue is now more from Malac ...more

I LOVED Ella and Malachi’s story. I’ve been waiting for it and I was not disappointed. They have been dancing around each other and flirting in typical demon style. Tragedy strikes and Malachi steps up and goes all out for Ella. I don’t want to say more because I don’t want to give anything away. I love all the characters in the series and was happy to see updates on them as well. You definitely need to read the series before taking this one on. You won’t be disappointed and you’ll wonder why yo ...more

We return to Fallow's Hollow, and revisit our friends: Moira, Severus, Alaric, Cordelia, Ella and Malachi. This story really focused on Ella and Malachi's relationship, or struggle toward one? Ms. Meldon has once again, whisked me away for hours to another "world." Demons, angels, vampires, oh my. Absolutely love each and every character. The love between Moira and Severus, the sacrifices these characters make for one another! The snappy dialogue, especially from Malachi. This is not your ordina ...more

I loved this companion novel to The Hunt Series. The storyline is well-written, has action, suspense, steam, angels, demons and a realization of a relationship. There is plotting, fighting, a trial, and emotional upheaval. These remarkable characters all have substance and depth. Great Read. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

Always entertaining

Malachi the chaos demon was not a character that lingered in my mind as I read previous volumes in the series. However, the story was surprisingly entertaining. Lots of action, a dash of heat and if demons can get sweet, a bit of that also. There is also quite a bit of stories about other characters in the series.
