Once upon a time, there was a gold dragon who would
have given her life in exchange for her revenge.
The conclusion we needed. I loved how Shira’s mates
are willing to change to nor lose her. They are completely different mates from
books one. Such a good conclusion.
Book 2 Deadly Dragons Duet
4 Stars
I am a dragon who hates dragons.
The dragons murdered my family. The dragons stole
me. The fae purchased me. My mates saved me.
My mates imprisoned me.
They think they're keeping me safe. They think they
know what I need. What all delicate, feminine, gold dragons need. A comfortable
den. A well-stocked pantry. Twenty children.
That's not what this gold dragon needs. This gold
dragon needs blood. This gold dragon needs revenge.
I loved the premise of this book. Shira has had a
crappy life because of dragons and she wants revenge. Her mates rescue her just
to keep her locked up … for her own good. She finds a way out to get her
revenge in the best way possible. I loved how she does it. It does end on the
cliff but book 2 is already out. I do want more world building but still loved
it.
Book 1 Deadly Dragons Duet
2 Stars
Grace has zero soul bonds because of the gods but
she is now the Prophetis. Her and her men may be separated but they can still
defeat the gods and come back together if they work hard…but will they?
This series started off so good and then it got bogged
down. I’ve said it with other reviews, but the five books should have been whittled
down to 3 books. Each man didn’t need to have an individual book. This one just
made me feel disconnected as each of the characters did their own thing to
accomplish the goals to defeat the gods. The group doesn’t get back together
until the very end and it seemed rushed. That was my biggest issue. The next one
is there were a lot of loose threads that may or may not be in the next series/book
but it frustrated me. I also wanted to know what happened with Grace’s parents
and we saw a bit but not the overall conclusion. Overall, I wish I had skipped
the series because it turned out so bad.
Book 5 State of Grace
3 Stars
Dare is angry about the murder of his mother and isn’t
sure he wants to head over to Greece to meet up with Grace and her other soul
bonds. They need him to further their goals against the gods. Will he be able
to let go of his anger and hurt and love Grace?
This one is just like book 3 and is unnecessarily
drawn out. It was nice to see Grace get all of her men, but it took way to long
to get there. It felt like the author wanted to dedicate a book to each guy
which is nice if you have the plot for it but this very much felt like it
should have been 2 books so far and then one more book to conclude the
overarching plot.
Book 4 State of Grace by Colette Rhodes
3 Stars
Wild made a mistake 5 years ago by pissing off a
god. He’s paid for it since. Now he’s found his soul bond but doesn’t feel he
deserves her. When her life is put at risk he refuses to stay away. Will he be
able to work through his history and step up for Grace?
This book has a massive pacing issue. The plot plods
along and then we get an information dump. Then it plods along for a while and
then info dump. I struggled getting through this one but it was still good ish.
There were parts of the book that I skimmed because they didn’t add anything to
the story. I still enjoyed most of this and felt the characters grew and
changed but I am getting frustrated.
Book 3 State of Grace
4 Stars
Every night Bullet visits Grace in her dreams, and
she forgets him when she wakes but now he’s able to be with her in person but
he’s not sure which path will keep her safe. Life is getting more complicated every
day, and his goddess is not supporting him like she used to. What path is the
correct one to take?
I enjoyed this one about as much as the first one,
but it felt like it’s being drawn out. Why does Grace have to wait to meet all
her mates? It’s like the author wanted an individual book per mate but she
knows of all of them and she just can’t meet them just yet per Bullet. It makes
the book seem a little on the slower side but still good. Hoping the rest of
the books pick up.
Book 2 State of Grace
4 Stars
By the time Grace reaches 25 she’s supposed to have
her four fated mates, but she doesn’t. She has zero soul bonds and is tired of
the pity from her community. To get away from this she moves out on her own. When
she is called on by a human friend for help and finds her first soul bond. The
problem he’s a daemon and not agathos. What will she do?
I loved seeing Grace come into her own. She starts
off with little rebellions and slowly grows into a stronger woman. I don’t know
if I like where it ended. All of the books are out so I will check out the next
one to see where this is going.
