Walter is a four-foot-tall, snarky pirate who usually prefers watching the chaos of the world from the sidelines with a bucket of popcorn. But when a dangerous syndicate begins hunting dino shifters, the fight becomes personal. After getting captured and stripped of his ability to shift, Walter finds himself in a precarious position: trapped in an abandoned auto shop with the two men he tried his best to leave in his rearview mirror.
Jatel, a gentle giant with a grudge, and Rad, a lethal, sparkly ninja, are anything but thrilled to be stuck with the man who ghosted them. As they navigate the neon-soaked streets of New Orleans on a desperate hunt for lost relics, the enemies-to-lovers tension is palpable. Yet, instead of fighting over him, these men are busy bickering, keeping secrets, and finding a surprising amount of chemistry with each other.
This high-stakes finale to the Dino Uprising trilogy masterfully blends paranormal action with a heartwarming found-family dynamic. For readers craving a unique shifter romance, this polyamorous triad offers the perfect mix of humor, grit, and heat. It is a wild, satisfying conclusion that proves sometimes, the best way to survive an uprising is to stop running and finally commit to the ones who have your back.

Such a wonderful series. It’s ended beautifully. These three were great together. This book was more action packed than the others, and it was good. I love how we got all our answers. Though, I wish we got Killian and Beau’s pov of Killian getting his memories back, which whooooa what a shock 😳 with how that all went down. )

The Lost Relics is the last book in DK Sutton's Dino Uprising trilogy. It certainly ended the series on a high note. Fast paced, fun read. Sutton wraps up all the dangling plot lines, and throws in some unexpected twists. This is Pirate Walter's story. In book one, he seemed a bit sinister. Book two, he was slippery as an eel, not trustworthy, and annoying as all get out. A lot of attitude is poured into that three foot eleven form, topped by that annoying pirate hat. He still got on my nerves,...

This was an enjoyable series from a different point of view of dino shifters. This last one ended with Walter (the miniature pirate) getting his due. Through the prior two stories we learned of his ex Jaytel and saw his constant flirting with Rad. The three of them all different personalities that influence the adventure that they are on. There were some crazy twists in this story and some enjoyable throuple times. All in all, this was an enjoyable series. )

The Lost Relics is the third and final book in The Dino Uprising series. In my opinion this series is best read in order. This is the story of Walter a pirate dino shifter, Jatel a gentle giant, and Rad the sparkly ninja. I couldn't wait to read this book because I really wanted to know more about Walter and why he was so snarky. These three needed each other to be complete. I loved the characters and world building that went into this series. I really enjoyed it and hate seeing it end. We get...
