Saving Grace by Colette Rhodes

 

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.

Dare Not by Colette Rhodes

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.

Wild Game 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.

Silver Bullet by Colette Rhodes

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.

Run Riot by Colette Rhodes

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.
