Gabrielle,
Oh my goddess!Zam has so much to do, and so little time to do it。 Rescue Maks。 Defeat the Storm Queen。 Kill a demon over lord。 Sure, all in a days work。 Good thing she's no lady, she says。。。I'll leave it to your imagination。 Zam, Lila, and Maks are back, and the desert better watch out!

SO EPIC!This is seriously fantastic! There is something so special about these characters。 With every book in the series I fall deeper into this extraordinarily vivid world。 The landscapes, the creatures (good and bad), the magic, all of it, are sensational。 Zam is an absolute rock star。 A total badass。 Her family is always a source of hope and love that help keep her going。 I love the strength and determination they all have。 I can't wait to see how it all turns out in the next book。 SO EPIC!This is seriously fantastic!

Action, Adventure, and ALL the FeelsThis book was go right from the start。 Zam, along with her chosen family, set off to rescue Masks from the Storm Queen。 There is a lot going on to focus on any one thing, so let me just say that you need this book in your life。 Be ready to laugh, cry, and sit on the edge of your seat。

Hard to believe we've arrived at book 8 in this series! Like all the rest, this wild ride is over way too soon and leaves you wanting more。 With her pack scattered, Zam is being pursued by dangerous enemies while running head long towards another powerful foe to reclaim the love of her life。 This is definitely a journey you don't want to miss with some genuine LOL moments。 Ultimately Zam's tale is one of loyalty, love, and perseverance in spite of the impossible odds stacked against her。 A must- Hard to believe we've arrived at book 8 in this series!

Becky,
Epic Installment Wow! That is my summary without spoilers。Zamira Reckless Wilson is on her next challenge to face the demon。 Along the way there are many great battles and twists and turns。 And a true life lesson: “I reached for Maks, and he took my hand, drawing me to him。 Into the safety of his arms once more, I knew it wouldn’t last。 But like all things in my life, I took the quiet moments when I could。”Can’t wait to see where they end up next。
Ruby,
Omgggg mustttt read!!!!So ducking good! I missed Zam and Lila more than I thought。 Zam really doesn’t seem to catch a break and she’s still such a good person! Saving people left and right。 I love this series so much。 I like how there was a side mention to venom and vanilla series。 I cannot wait for the next book!
Tina Courts,
Oh my goodness what a ride。 Love Zam and Lila。 Full of action and suspense。 Never giving up and plugging onwards to keep those she considers family safe。 I could not put the story down and can’t wait for the next book。

It's challenge after challenge without end, as the demon, Asag, tries his best to stop her on the road to banishing him。While the Shakespeare, sass, and friendships still thrive, the stress and anxiety is a palpable force hovering over everyone。 It takes its toll, that's for sure。 As the clues continue to be pieced together, there's still plenty to be discovered, and Shannon's keeping the finale close to her chest。The action is well thought out, the bonds strong, and the writing is fun and hard to put down。 It goes as such a pace that tearing away is impossible, as important point after point comes to pass。 I was thoroughly caught up in this adventure from beginning to end。 I can't wait to see what's next。 。。。more

Shawna Mitchell,
Dang it Zam! There is no rest for the desert guardian。 With the opening pages she is battling for her life again。 Zam and Lila are an unstoppable duo and they will not quit until the demon is destroyed。 However, she has so much ahead of her。 She is toting a child with her on her adventures because what else could she do, leave her? I think not! Unfortunately the demon loves young jinn females and he continues to send his minions driving them further off the path。 The storm queen is the absolute Dang it Zam!

I think not! Unfortunately the demon loves young jinn females and he continues to send his minions driving them further off the path。 The storm queen is the absolute worst and wants to break maks for her own use。 Hopefully Zamira can make it in time。 This book has a complete book arc and the overall story arc continues forward。 We get to know some additional characters, even if we dislike them。 This is not a sedate romance novel, this is a bad mamajama female lead that will do anything for her family and friends that she loves。 There is action, heartache, and you will rage at what they go through。 BUT I have grown to love the characters and this world。 The loyalty between our main characters is astounding and touching。 When life keeps giving you crap and you are at your darkest hours, we see who will be there for you in more than words。 Shannon Mayer uses her keyboard like a warrior and slays us every time。 Waiting (impatiently) for the next book! 。。。more

I read this book so fast I didn’t realize it was done until I couldn’t turn the page anymore! It’s been a little while since we’ve heard from Zam。 She was on her way to rescue her mate with some new characters in tow。 Reyhan and Fen are great additions and I can’t wait to see what magic Shannon does with them。 There is fantastic humor that had me laughing out loud numerous times。 The ending twists threw me。 I didn’t expect them but WOW!

Amanda,
Oh。 My。 Gosh! I love Zam, Lila, and Maks。 This book made me so happy。 I love the adventure, humor, and love these characters have for each other。 Zamira has faced so much and she still not done but she marches on so that those she cares for and calls family can be safe and live a long life。 She will stop at nothing to make sure she is triumphant。 I cannot wait for the last installment of this series!

Kingdom Of Storms。 by Shannon MayerNot too many books can bring me to tears。 This one did。 The ending is written with so very much emotion that I am still tearing up。 Perhaps after the whirlwind ride of the story, the depth of feeling at the end just got to me。 Truthfully, I don't care why。 I am just glad Ms Mayer has written it。 Zamira is a character that does not suffer fools well。 She has a heart as big as the desert she lives in and holds her friends and family close。 She trusts, but not bli Kingdom Of Storms。 by Shannon MayerNot too many books can bring me to tears。 This one did。 The ending is written with so very much emotion that I am still tearing up。 Perhaps after the whirlwind ride of the story, the depth of feeling at the end just got to me。 Truthfully, I don't care why。 I am just glad Ms Mayer has written it。 Zamira is a character that does not suffer fools well。 She has a heart as big as the desert she lives in and holds her friends and family close。 She trusts, but not blindly。 When she has been fooled she regroups and moves forward。 Her determination and pure will to do what is right, leads her。 Currently she is on a quest to save baby dragons。 Before getting the information on their location, she must fulfill certain quests。 None of these quests are easy。 Her mate, Maks, has been taken by the Queen of storms for her own purpose。 That situation must be remedied。 Getting to Maks, defeating all the enemies in her way, all the while protecting a small Jinn girl is not an easy task。 That she does it all despite the odds, takes us on a major thrill ride。 。。。more
