by Embry Fox
Shattered by the horrors of the academy and the cruelty of her father, Arabella is finally free, yet the scars of her captivity run deep. Hiding away with her loyal mates among the Fallen, she faces the agonizing task of healing her broken spirit while navigating the complex, intense bonds of a reverse harem. Trust is a dangerous luxury when her past threatens to consume her, and the clock is ticking before her father drags her back into the nightmare she barely escaped.
This gripping installment of the Halos and Havoc trilogy plunges readers into a dark paranormal landscape where the stakes have never been higher. As Arabella grapples with her role in a world-altering prophecy, her men must confront their own harrowing battles to protect the woman they refuse to share. It is a high-octane blend of forbidden passion and supernatural peril, perfect for those who crave a gritty academy setting where the heroine chooses to keep all her men by her side.
Change is inevitable, and tragedy looms on the horizon. With the council closing in and secrets of her true power coming to light, Arabella must transform from a victim into a force of destruction. Prepare for a visceral, heart-pounding journey where survival comes at a devastating cost.

This is the fifth book of the R.I.S.E. Academy shared world is book two of Halos and Havoc. Once again I was completely hooked start to finish and completely drawn in. It was great to see Arabella's bonds grow with her mates and her new family. This is plenty of action and spice. Embry Fox does such and wonderful job with these characters. There is a cliffhanger at the end and I need book three ASAP. )

This picks up right where the first book left off. It took me a minute to remember everything and settle in. I'd recommend a reread if it's been a while. Arabella and her mates need to complete the bonds but she's traumatized. She learns about her family history. They're were some surprises. This is a great story for those looking for a reverse harem fallen angels story. Thank you for the early copy of this book. This is my honest and voluntary review. )

Arabelle is back! It was so good to be back in Arabelle's world. We learn more about her past, more about her powers, and some overall character growth. We also see the relationships between Arabelle and her mates deepen. There was action, some danger, lots of feels, and some spice. I think this was a great continuation to the series overall . )

I love that we get duets in this shared world of R.I.S.E academy. Arabella's and her mates story is just one of many. We get so much in these books that I devour them the moment they realease. I love the world's built and the characters strength and growth. A really great read. )
