Devastation: Darkness Rising Series, Book 3

R Caulder review devastationLana quest continues. We left off with a cliff hanger of loss. The loss of a mate and mother, the fact lana is transitioning into a demi-god. She succumbed to the darkness and grief.>>>>>>spoilers ahead<<<<<<<Lana awakes in a realm that recognizes her soul. This brings her comfort, and knowledge that while yes gaia is gone, she will forever be with her child. This speaks to my heart as Ive loss my mother. The little things that bring you comfort, knowing they are forever with you, is translated beautifully.Now to embark on a soul quest. The reference to soul being pulled from ones body being compared to a "human sized band-aid with gorilla glue, slowly being peeled"made me physically cringe. Just ouch.The fact the god of death is so lively and cheeky really makea me happy. Such beautiful detail to character development. Love it.Once the mission is completed and lana starts to focus on tbe realms and there queens we really get a glimpse at her as a leader. Her coming into being a goddess and making bonds. Finding her comfort with her mates after everything thats happened.The race against establishing links & relationships with the new queens of each realm and staying ahead of the impending darkness.  Everytime i think they are getting ahead something pops up. Constantly keeping me on my toes and my nose in the book.I was worried with some of the previous trauma this one wouldn't be as steamy, but i was not disappointed 👌.  They take it at her pace but its every bit as steamy, as well as empowering. The trauma is addressed and you see some ptsd and panicky moments that are  real.Ok Serenity's home is my dream. Goth- chic, absolutely in lovee with the beautiful details. Honestly she's one if my favorite characters from tbis series.Grammie is the warmth we envision when we think of grandma. The feeling of home, love, and acceptance.The battle.It is violent and scoured with fire and dripping in blood. Everything you want in a good battle scene. The technique is beautiful and effective for the realms. Lana continues to be an unpredictable badass.Outa of all the realms i feel earth is underwhelming. But i can't say i hate the idea of Gaia, looking over and being our protector.Beautiful ending full of love and dare i say another adventure is brewing!?!?!Ekkk! Absolutely love Caulder ability to captivate the reader, make us fall in love with this characters. We watch them grow so much. I absolutely loved the journey through this series, and would 100% recommend it. 5 stars from me.

Do NOT read this book if you've not read the others in this amazing series. It's definitely not a standalone read.This final book in the series gave me all the feels. It took me on such an emotional rollercoaster. It had adventure, action, steamy scenes, a quest, family, love and a battle against a common enemy. We see that family takes many different forms, and all are just as important. I for one am truly hoping for a spinoff with one particular love god. My fingers are crossed that we *may* see Lana, her guys, and a few others in the future. This entire series has been so much fun to read. I loved the fierce, strong, independent and resilient females peppered throughout this magnificent world. May we see some, or all again in the future!

I just finished this book, and I have to say, it was everything I needed it to be. There was humor, action, romance, fantasy, suspense, and of course, spice 🥵If you’ve read this far, you know this series is a reverse harem. Our main girl grows and blossoms throughout the series, and ended up becoming the strong woman she was destined to be. Of course, she wouldn’t be where she is without her boys, and they each play their role while she never has to choose between them as they are fated mates ❤️What this series has that a lot of spicy books don’t have, is a story!! R. L. Caulder is so talented at taking us into that fantasy world with her as she tells the story from the character’s points of view. Not only does their story tear at your heart strings, but you watch these characters grow and morph into strong individuals who seem to become stronger as they come together...pun intended.As the plot thickens, you feel their anger, excitement, and determination as you reach the climax of the story. (😏 see what I did there)I loved how the sexy scenes were more realistic than a lot of the books I have read. The angst from losing your virginity, the pain from losing your anal virginity, the raw emotion in love making. It could all happen that way in the real world. It wasn’t outlandish or unrealistic.Bravo! Another great series!

This is the third and final book of the Darkness Rising series. You couldn’t have asked for a better ending for Lana and her mates.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5🌶🌶🌶🌶/5I feel as thou RL Caulder’s new series Outcast is a little bit sexier then this series but there is still good sexy scenes 😘Would highly suggest to anyone who loves #paranormalromance books and is new to #reverseharemnovelsI also claim Ash and Zedd as mine 😁

Great ending to the series! It was nice to see how everything came together and how the group overcame their final obstacles. The growth of Lana and her men during this journey has been amazing to witness and reading about them finally coming into what they were meant to be was so sweet. I will miss this bunch, I loved this series.

The end delivers everything you hope to see this series off. Caulder make sure to give everything we hoped for in this book. There plenty of entertainment that will leave you hooked as the quest concludes. If you are fan of her work after this series. Make sure you check out her shifter series !

I can't believe this is the final book in Lana's story. This book picks up where book 2 left off. I'm excited about the other Realms and would love to see side stories on the other Queens. This book was just a perfect ending and can't wait to see if Lana and her mates pop back up later.

I could not believe how this story ended up unfolding! It's amazing how Lana goes from this selfish woman to being a positive voice for others. She fights for the light and helps others in the process. I was not ready for the ending, but it leaves it open for a spin off.

What an epic finale absolutely to this trilogy I absolutely loved it it has you on the edge of your seat for the whole book. It dragged me through a whole heap of emotions and by the end of the book I felt like I was saying goodbye to a group of friends, it is a rare event that that happens to me but I totally felt engrossed in the story Lana and her mates were beyond epic and i really just really wish it wasn't the end but it certainly was one hell of a ride.

An epic finale absolutely loved it it has you sitting there wondering what was going to happen next nothing was predictable the chemistry between Lana and her mates was beyond epic and to see Lana and the other realms queens bonds was amazing just really wish it wasn't the end

This was a fantastic conclusion to the trilogy. Everything ties up nicely, the story flows really well, we get to see so much character growth and I really enjoyed that. I also thought the world building and descriptions were awesome, it was done in such a clear distinct way that made it really easy to “See” . There was the perfect mix of action, drama and steam that kept this book a total page turner. I thought this was a unique, fun and well written series with twists and turns that kept me engrossed the entire story. The character development and growth really stood out to me, the progress we saw just from the main character alone was phenomenal and I am eager to read more from his authour!

I really enioyed the growth of our main characters throughout the series, it wasn't an instant thing as soon as they had their powers and you could see the struggle as they grew. Loved the series and can't wait to read more from this author
