Hidden Kingdom Series by L. Rose -> Restarting on August 7th, 2020

[Alaina]

One, two, things are changing for you.
Three, four, monsters at your door.
Five, six, no one could predict.
Seven, eight, you learn they're your mates.
Nine, ten, it's time to fight again.

Paige Alice has changed, but she's not sure if that’s a good or bad thing.

The good.
Four annoying and different types of men, who she trusts with her life. A scary but faithful sidekick, and of course, her crazy family.

The bad.
...Everything else.

*This is the first in a reverse harem romance trilogy. There's adult themes, course language, humor, and mm scenes, for 18+ only.
*Sorry about the cliffhanger, but the second book will be released in early December 2019.

Okay so that was a really weird prologue. A bit disgusting. Also a bit obvious. Not too bad. I do want to continue still.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Is she a zombie? I'm literally on the first page of chapter one so I'm being lazy and not doing spoilers. I mean wanting to eat human flesh and not sleeping much seems zombie like to me. If so this will be my first MC zombie.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Not sure I'm loving this. Something just seems off to me. I'm not sure if it's too much telling and not showing. The MC rubbing me wrong or too much special snowflake issues? Something is bugging me.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

BTW I'm on like chapter one still. Maybe two?

It fasts forward too much and then just gives us this brief synopsis. I totally agree, it should show more

[Aly]

ch 6 (view spoiler)[ Everything is happening too fast and it's hard to keep up with the plot and who the characters are. We need to slow down and get some more explanation.

Like how is she a ghoul and what does that mean? Also somehow she's the queen? And why are she and the guys connected? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 10 (view spoiler)[ I feel like this is cheesy writing and the author is trying to make Paige a bit funny, but it's not coming across well. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 15 (view spoiler)[ Okay, the only thing saving this for me is the m/m sexual tension. I'm all about that lol (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

finished (view spoiler)[ I didn't really care for the story. I loved the smut scenes, but that's about it. Don't think I'll read the other books (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

starting this now!

[Alaina]

19%: (view spoiler)[wait.. is everyone else still frozen at this moment? lol (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

41%: (view spoiler)[I'm not sure if this is supposed to be funny or not.. but I'm laughing at all the stupid stuff anyways. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

72%: (view spoiler)[ohhhh shit, she's making moves and enemies. I like this.. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

100%: (view spoiler)[WAIT A DAMN MINUTE.. THEY KILLED THE HELLHOUND FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES? oh heck no, he needs to come back - I loved Ezra! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

..does anyone want to dive into the next book?

[Aly]

Yes I will!

[Alaina]

Omg yay! I have it. We can switch this to a series thread? I’m down to read it whenever.

[Alaina]

***moving to a series thread :)***

[Alaina]

19%: (view spoiler)[hmm I wonder if she's pregnant because she's very moody right now.. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ah! I can't wait for tonight so I can read all my ebooks!

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Ah! I can't wait for tonight so I can read all my ebooks!"

Lol I finished Chain of Gold, which is such a long audio by the way, and now I have a migraine. So no more audios for today.. but now I get to dive into my ebooks!

[Aly]

I have to read The Kingdom of Copper on audio but it's like 21 hours so I'm putting it off

[Alaina]

yeah COG was over 21 hrs too.

[Aly]

Geez.

[Alaina]

48%: (view spoiler)[I kid you not, I almost spat out my wine after her niece said her mom yelled at her dad to do something harder. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

I FUCKING KNEW IT. (view spoiler)[I CAN'T TRUST ANY OF THE GRACE'S IN BOOKS NOW (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

76%: (view spoiler)[omg yay reunion... but now lucifer's son could be one of her mates? what the what.. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Okay so this ends at 93%, and of course that always makes me mad because it should end at 99% or 100%...but (view spoiler)[I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY THAT EZRA IS BACKKKK... OH LORD. OKAY I NEED THE NEXT BOOK NOW. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Starting the third book just because of how the last one ended lol

[Alaina]

23%: (view spoiler)[Can my babies stop getting hurt? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

I hate when they end early because the last part is like a chapter of the next book or whatever

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "I hate when they end early because the last part is like a chapter of the next book or whatever"

yeah it was a look into the third book.. so I was mad.

[Alaina]

50%: (view spoiler)[ohhhh my 'lanta, so much is happening right now. I am hoping everything is a-okay now and she doesn't have to live through falling in love with them all over again. Although, it shouldn't be too bad lol (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

80%: (view spoiler)[..I guess it's too much to ask for them all to be safe and out of harms way right? (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

100%: (view spoiler)[okay so I totally called the whole being pregnant.. just a lot earlier than expected. Just saying (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

29% (view spoiler)[ I love the sex scenes, especially since the guys hook up with each other too. Whew! Especially Nate and Alex, they're really cute together (hide spoiler)]
51% (view spoiler)[ Thorn and Alex better make it out of hell. I wonder if they saw Ezra? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

76% (view spoiler)[So Lucifer's son is one of her mates too? Hmm (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ I'm so happy Ezra is back!! And he has a human form and can be the final mate! What a great ending (hide spoiler)]

50% (view spoiler)[ Okay, I like Cedrick, he can stay. And I like that his brother is mates with Xi. (hide spoiler)]
76% (view spoiler)[ Ugh these bad guys are all the same. Poor Alex, his own dad hates him and is a terrible person (hide spoiler)]
