Review: The books in this series haven't been too intense so far, most are short and sweet like this one with a bit of magic thrown in to the mix. I love seeing these two authors write together and while it wasn't my favorite of their works, I quite enjoyed it and adored the characters we meet in this one.

Hey guys, I haven’t gotten to start my book yet since I’ve been finishing up other challenge books so if Roger does finish his before me and you want me to use my skip on this one so we can move on to the next task, I’m good with that since I think your books will equal out to over 1200 on their own 👍

Review: Ok I think the Author, tried to fill too much in this book, Even though River and Josiah are the main Character in this book all of the pack could be considered main characters because we learn all of the pack members' stories. While I applaud the fact that she put it all in one story rather than three or four books. it did lead to a story that rambled all over. I am thinking the story could have been more cohesive and better if it was split up.
257 + 366 + 366 + 301 + 250 = 1490 pages so far so whatever is decided is fine by me I am in it for fun!
on May 18 there will be a new boxset of the four kings series and it will also be available on KU.
Jeydon, while I am in this for fun. Do you have an idea when you would finish your book?
May 3 is paranormal day!
Its been 3 days since Roger's post. I am msging Jeydon to check his progress. If still delayed, maybe we can post our completion without him by tomorrow? What do you all say?
tomorrow morning if we do not hear from him lets post it.
Sent Jeydon a message.
I think he might have to officially pass, but maybe MKat will let our conversation about it work for that? I hope he's ok.
Michaele wrote: "I think he might have to officially pass, but maybe MKat will let our conversation about it work for that? I hope he's ok."
Yeah. Usually he posts a book without much delay or checks in regularly. Hope everything is okay with him.
Hey guys, so sorry for inactivity. I got my second COVID dose and since the first one didn’t hit me too hard, I thought I’d be fine but it hit me pretty bad this time and I’ve been sleeping a lot to recover. Please go ahead and use my skip this time and I should be good to go to start reading a book for the next task.

personally I like three because one of the options is to read a LGBTQ+ book, so m/m books would work.

Review - This was a surprisingly fantastic find. A new author for me and I loved their writing, the romance with the slow burn. Here we have a wonderful family and the gentle giant Wire. The way he is taking care of Sid and Gina is so sweet. This glimpse into the lives of Maori people was interesting.
Definitely recommended. Guaranteed to leave you happy and smiling.
