"What endures? Love. Yes, I've always believed that and still do. Ironically, I'm discovering that madness also has quite the capacity for endurance.
"Those I love have endured a lot, have been awakened to truths they found, at first, to be unbelievable and have faced challenges they never dreamed. Now someone perceived as a foe may be all we can depend upon to face an enemy of unimaginable power and a need for revenge.
"Against me.
Being men of honor and enduring love, Victor and Cord have sworn to protect me with their lives. What they don't realize is our enemy can take me right from under their noses and there's nothing they can do to stop him. But maybe I can. If I can endure this enemy's unending appetite for revenge."
** Note for readers. This is an ongoing tale and the books must be read in order. Don't let that stop you from joining this series for a trip you won't soon forget in The Shattered Chronicles.

ARC for honest review with no compensation 4.5 stars
Endure is tied to the Cotton Creek saga (Shattered Chronicles book 9) by Ciana Stone and keeps you on the edge of your seat with sleep still not an option!!
Just like all the other episodes questions are answered but more questions are on the horizon...old friends return along with new ones we have never met. Up and down...just like a rollercoaster, you don’t know what is around the next corner...
Explosive, intrigue, secrets, romance and so much more!! Can’t wait for the next episode of this amazing series of light vs darkness!!

I am almost speechless. I'm conflicted. There is part of me that hates that I started on this journey, and part of me that would have missed this ride for the world.
In every single book, every time I follow a path, thinking I know what is coming next, I get hit with twists and turns that I could not have imagine. Ciana Stone's mind is a maze that I would not want to be lost in. It is amazing the things she has come up with in this book and the places she takes her readers.
How much more can Morgan endure and keep her sanity? How will Victor and Cord withstand more secrets and surprises, because I know they are coming. With each book, it seems as though the cast of characters grows.
Several books ago, I gave up trying to figure out what would happen and just went along for the ride. Endure is full of action, mystery, intrigue, and suspense. It is romantic and sexy, yet still touches all of your emotions. The characters love each other on so many different levels. In all honesty, I am often exhausted when I finish a book in this series.
Please don't think you can start reading from this book and keep up. The Shattered Chronicles is an investment, but I will keep coming back until the end.

Omg no no no. Stop Ciana, your killing me! Why can't Morgan kick his butt and take names yet.... though it was funny with the frog part. Of all the animals in the world...hahaha.
Wow where to start. Action, adventure and romance are all wrapped up in this little special. Even the drama in between was funny. Seriously this should be a whole movie or a series on tv. That would be awesome!! Ciana Stone's stories never disappoint and leave you wanting more. No matter what has happened in the story so far. It may be dark and twisted in some parts along the way. But you will definitely fall in love with this series. Word of advice: Read In Order!
Morgan is at it again. Though with some new/old people coming into her life. She has more and more to worry about. Especially with Zarthos on their trail trying to collect the parts before they do. And with more people in her life. All the more reason to worry, because they can all be potential targets to Zarthos twisted mad mind and his games. He will stop at nothing to possess her and destroy her homeworld...inside and out. Even those that which she loves with all her heart. Can she protect that which they have hidden from evil.

Oh man...I feel like my head is going to explode! Endure, Episode 9 of the Shattered Chronicles, continues to lead us on what is becoming the never-ending journey to find the truth surrounding Victor, Morgan, and Cord. We’ve been up, down, backwards and forward in Time...and the mystery continues. The storyline is crazy good; the cast of characters has grown so large that yours truly needs to make a list so I know who’s who; and the plot twists and turns keep your head spinning. As with the previous eight episodes, the HEA is still out of reach; you know it’s coming—but you just don’t know when!
Ciana Stone is a master storyteller who never disappoints. The Shattered Chronicles is one helluva series that keeps the reader coming back for more...and more...and even more. You definitely want to grab your copy of each episode so you don’t miss a thing. Don’t wait—grab your copy today! (I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book and can’t wait for the next one! This series is definitely one you don’t want to miss.) ❤️❤️

Get It Together
Here are things that make a good book; when the lead character just makes you want to shake her because she is not perfect but is good at what she does while still keeping secrets.
The second leads Cord and Victor are both maddening but alike yet not. How do they manage to bond?
The next level of players Arthur, Asante, Gage, are warrior and more so much more that you want to take them home and keep them for your very own.
When the writing alternates from you liking some characters and then disliking their actions this will keep a reader intrigued.
Reading this Episode has had me on another roller coaster ride of emotions that I want off. Nope, that is a lie. I will read to the end.
Just like the title I will endure.
My personal review of this series episode.

This is a thrilling, keep your pulse racing, didn’t see that coming episode! If you haven’t been reading this series, you absolutely must. It’s a captivating serial that will at times tear your heart out but always keep you on your toes. “Endure” is no different. You’ll see the welcome return of one and the not so welcome but surprising return of another and meet a couple individuals for the first time; one of whom might just be the end of the other if not them all. Morgan, Cord, Victor and the rest take us on a rollercoaster ride with lots of exciting action and some unexpected twists and turns. You’ll really get a feel for the “synergistic interdependence” of this story with all the rest. (You’ll understand this once you read it! 😁) Be sure to tell Toto we’re not in Kansas anymore – lions and tigers and dragons, oh my!!

Was I excited to get into this one you really don;t realize how much so. This series is taking us onto a different plateau everytime we open the next one up. This one is just as the title says but it is a graphic picture of it with the characters giving life to it especially Morgan. This is now in a direction I did not think of but it is the way it is going which makes for excitement with not being able to let go. It also tests us the readers on how much more can we take and can we endure. This is one that you most assuredly have to start from the beginning to get the full effect and know all the characters intimately. You must until the next one.

What can you say that hasn't already been said? Ciana Stone is brilliant as she keeps her readers turning pages to see where Cord, Victor, and Morgan's next adventure will take them. The episodes do need to be read in order so the reader will not miss how these three got to where they are as lovers, enemies, and friends. Each episode will consume the reader to find that what they thought in the beginning would take an unexpected twist that will leave them wondering, "Wow, what just happened?" One of the best series I have read in a long time. 4.5 Stars!

Endure....
The dictionary says that the definition of endure is to suffer patiently; to continue; to remain firm under suffering. I think we all can agree that this definition describes Morgan perfectly. It could also describe those of us who have been with this series from the start. Having to wait to see what happens next is suffering...right?!? (LOL!) Oh well, if Morgan can endure all she's gone through, I guess I can wait for the installment.

Another great book with even more surprise twists and bigger turns on the road to conclusion. I can't wait to see how the rest of the story will play out across the pages of the next book. I hope I don't have to wait too long. She has a way of drawing you into her story and keeping you enthralled until the very last page. I would recommend this series and author to others. And will continue to read her books.

📒🗞 This is a mind blowing series. It's full of romance, suspense and so many twists and turns you can never guess what will happen next. Throughout the story you learn even more about Cord, Victor and Morgan, and who exactly they are. I can't wait to find out the ending.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

October 4, 2019I didn't think this series could get. Any more exciting, but wow! The actions and intrigue just got hotter.
Twists and turns everywhere. Not a series for the feint at heart but definitely not to be missed by those who enjoy a deeper tome.

Aliens and dragons, oh migh
Talk about a continuous exercise in futility. Why do I get the feeling that Morgan is actually a masochistic puppeteer who gets off on manipulating everyone and everything around her. I'm actually beginning to feel sorry for Victor.
