Tales from the Edge #3
Blazing Light
Acrobat, witch, and beloved of four men, Iphigenia Holt finds an unconventional happily every after in her third and final book.
Iphi has always lived for others: her mother, the world's most powerful and temperamental witch; the town of Distant Edge, plagued with a rash of ghoul attacks only she can stop; and all the creatures, human and otherwise, who have strayed across her path since childhood. But when she's sucked into a desolate land far from home, a land filled with angry pixies, endless darkness, and an evil that has stalked her family for years, she'll have to put her needs first for once.
And what she needs is her men.
But first, she'll have to save them. With Thorn still stuck in his dragon form and now the plaything of pixies, she won't stop until he's free, even if it means burning an alien world to the ground. Stuck on Earth, Rhys, Caspian, and Dominic won't stop until they hold their woman in their arms again. Though she'll have some explaining to do when they discover they'll have to open their hearts to yet another male, even if he is their packmate and brother.
But Iphi's done hiding her light—and her love—from the world. Why should she have to choose when she deserves them all? #whychoose

I received a free copy from the author and voluntarily reviewed it.
I was curious to see how the author would wrap up this series. Blazing Light is the third and last book in this series and I thought it was a great ending. Sadly I was in this weird reading mood and I had trouble getting into this story. While I did enjoy it, I wasn't able to fully get into the story. But overall it is a great read. It nicely wraps up the main plot lines and also brings the romance to a satisfying conclusion.
Blazing Light starts after where the cliffhanger left off at the end of book 2. This book has a lot more focus on the ghoul/ puppet master/ scrim storyline than the previous books. I never really cared for the plot line, but now that the focus shifted to it, it all made a lot more sense and progressed a lot faster. I actually did really like the reveal and twist in this storyline as it took a direction I hadn't expected at all and it did make sense.
There were a few parts where the pace felt a bit off as the characters were split and some parts were more interesting than others. And then some of the characters would progress more and at times it felt like the other characters didn't make as much progress and then that changed around a bit again. The multiple pov's were great for keeping a feel for what everyone was up to, although it switched pov's a bit too often at times.
One thing that didn't quite work for me in this book was the romance. Could just be my current mood partly or the fact that with the focus on the main storyline there seemed to be less focus on the romance. There are some sexy times at the start of the book, then the romance is a bit on pause till the later part of the book where things progress a bit with the last harem member and then some sexy times at the end of the book again. There just didn't seem to be as much focus on the dynamic or their relationships or any drama like in the previous books. And most of the scenes they had now were sexy only and I would've liked a bit more sweet and touching scenes as well.
One of the issues I had with this book is a scene later in the book where Iphi connect with her fourth harem member. The problem for me is that it kinda felt like cheating. For the reader it's obvious who the fourth member will be, but in character they never discussed this and if it was okay for her to sleep with anyone besides her 3 boyfriends. And with how the third member was added to the harem in book 2 with good communication and some struggles too, this felt very different and I didn't like it. To me it felt that Iphi betrayed her 3 boyfriends their trust by sleeping with another men without discussing it with them first. I had expected it might be the set-up for some drama later on, but the reaction of the other males quite frankly surprised me and made me feel even more weirded out by the whole thing. It just felt unrealistic they would act like that, especially after how it went in book 2. It just felt like they took this too easy.
I also had some trouble keeping the point of views straight as the character sound very similar and the males have some parts of their personalities that are similar too. I also rolled my eyes at the overly alpha, impulsive and overprotective behavior of the males a few times as I didn't really care for that. I did like how clearly they all care about Iphi. And the multiple point of views were a good way to keep track of what everyone was doing.
I felt like this book added quite a lot of understanding of the world. It really expands on the world building. We learn about a different dimension and how things are there. And some characters background are worked out a bit as well. I hadn't expected so much time to take place in the other realms and at first I didn't quite care for it, but in the end I did like it and I realized how relevant it all was.
To summarize: this was a great ending to the series. the focus in this book shifts more to the story and less to the romance. I actually liked the whole ghoul plot line much more now that it got explored more and progressed. There were some nice twists and reveals and I liked how the storyline got resolved. The romance didn't quite work for me in this book, probably because of my reading mood and with how it got less attention in this book. There is less drama and relationship dynamics and most of the romance times are sexy times. I struggled a bit with how the fourth member of her harem was added as it felt to me that she cheated on her 3 boyfriends by sleeping with another without discussing it with them first. Everyone seemed to make light of it in the book, but to me it didn't feel right. I liked how this books adds to the world building. There's a new realm we learn about and it was interesting to read a bit about how things worked there. All in all it wrapped things up well and was a great ending to the series.

Another awesome reverse harem by this author! Book 3 is every bit as good as the first 2 and ties everything together as an awesome series should! Lots of twists and turns, great characters, a fab storyline and some hot scenes but nothing to explicit. All in all a great series!

Iphi and her men go to try to get Thorn back only to have Iphi taken. From that point on Iphi;s life takes on a surrealistic quality as she learns more about herself and what she;s meant to do.
Fantastic ending to the entire series. The twists in the story pull you in and you riveted till the last page.

So the storyline somewhat got better we knew the mother was hiding things from book 1, the way she was so toxic with fear that her daughters would leave her and one by one they did.
The entire series was pretty juvenile and there was a lot of toxic behaviour by her mother, almost all of her boyfriends and even herself at times.
I’ve never read such a dysfunctional harem series. They all need therapy and funny enough her 1 normal boyfriend is a shrink.
Then the way they treat the little brother/ cousin is horrible, I understand they were just kids but they failed him and when they got him back they still treated him like crap. If anyone needed some of her light to help them feel better it was him!
The mother was the villain the entire series and past trauma made her so toxic for her family to be around. It’s not right that she got off Scott free when her father didn’t. I’m just not a fan of the way they ended things in the pixie world.

Hot, sexy, suspenseful, dramatic and emotional! This was an exciting delicious conclusion to Iphigenia’s story. A dramatic roller coaster ride, if you will. That woman is a powerful siren surrounded and loved by four hot men. Secrets were revealed, prosperity restored and the lost found their place. The Scrim’s origination was the biggest shock of all. It was more than I expected but I feel like there’s still more. What happens to Nolan? Will we see the sisters kick bu** together again? Did I mention how hot this book was? The sexy is off the charts and that ending is just all kinds of 🔥🔥 . You did your thing Chloe and you knocked it out the park. P.S. I still think Aurelia needs to make restitution to her other two daughters. Still not a fan of hers. You have to give us more, I would love to see all the girls together again, including Burg of course 😉

In the third and final book of this series, Iphigenia finds out the true identity of the Scrim and how he came to be. Iphigenia has always thought she was a strong witch but she had no idea of the strength she truly has. Her loving and purity of heart always sees the best in the hearts of those around her, no matter how broken they are. Through her goodness she not only rights wrongs by others, but she even is able to save worlds and the loves of others. A great ending to a fabulous story, the characters continued to grow and develop throughout the entire series. Can’t wait to read more from Chloe Adler.

A continuation of a series, that must be read in order.
Continuing the storyline between Iphigenia and her sexy shapeshifters, we get to see their relationships grow stronger until they found theirl happily every after.
The characters are complex and easily relatable. If you enjoy adventure, complexity, and excitement in your books, you will enjoy this book. If you like reverse harem books, you will love this book. If you don't care for reverse harem books, take a chance. It's well worth it. Enjoy. Happy reading.

I knew I should be prepared for the unexpected, but this goes so far beyond the unexpected, I don’t even know where to begin. What I just experienced was a spinning ride through a Halloween maze of twists, turns and unforeseen double-backs. Iphi learns how to step fully into her own personal power, and her unusual ‘family’ learns how to make that new dynamic work. And somehow, with all the revelations that come to light in this book, there’s still so much yet to learn about Aurelia.

Iphi really comes into her own in Blazing Light. Previous books have alluded to the fact that she holds everything and everyone together, but the extent to which this goes is so much deeper than imagined. There are many unexpected stories lines in Blazing Light and everyone gets a HEA.
I've really enjoyed the Tales from the Edge series. Chloe has really done a wonderful job in tying up the story-lines in this series finale./98

I’ve been rooting for Thorn from the beginning. Poor guy has been stuck as a small dragon for forever. This one brings an end to the series. Several questions are answered and we learn so much more about Aurelia. Some surprising twists. And by the end things really get hot and I am envious of Iphi. Glad to see a really fun and hot happy ending.

Chloe has done it again. Iphi’s story continues with more intense drama, emotions and suspense. I loved the new characters but the plot twists and turns in ways to keep you reading until you realize there are no more pages to turn. If you like stories of ‘other’ worlds and creatures, you will love this story as much as I did. Great story.

This is Book 3, the exciting conclusion to Iphigenia’s story, with some nice twists and turns to make the reader amazed to be immersed in this world. You will find lots of action, suspense, and high emotions in this book that will keep you eagerly turning pages for more and more. And fortunately, the author has many more books to bring us for our reading pleasure!

Well this is the conclusion for Iphy and her guys. This is a series so it's good to know read book 1 and 2 first. They are amazing btw. I like that the story is going different than you'd expect and I love that personally. Iphi runs the show and the guys are great yet again. I'll miss them but will re-read for sure.
August 24, 2018
I absolutely love this book, and this series and love the 'circus' element too.
Iphi is one amazing character. How she handles her mum (reminds me of a member of my family and how challenging they can be).
I love the men in this story - how they work together. Their bond grows and it's beautiful to read.
Highly recommend this.

This is a great conclusion for Iphi's story. However I am gonna miss these characters. I hope we will see more of them in the future (hint,hint). Iphi and her men are all wonderful. This book is packed with action and hot sex. It is well written and lots of fun. I received this as an ARC and voluntarily reviewed it.
August 31, 2018
Great end to Iphi's story. All the different problems are resolved. Found out a lot of new things also, like how the Scrim was really made, more about Aurelia and Iphi's dad. Thoroughly entertaining series to read! There is love, some action, the circus, lots of steam and everything you could ask for! Such a great series!
April 22, 2019
There is goodness in everyone and Iphi is just a girl that knows how to take it out. Trough struggles, trough Iphi’s big heart, hand in hand with all men who loves her, Iphigenia’s power grows and blooms. Plot is unfolding, all details set in place and everyone finds their purpose and tasks to do. Great end to this serie.
August 13, 2018
What an ending!
What a great ending to Iphi’s story! I wish we would have received a little more info as to Nolan and how he was faring, but I was pleased to see that each character grew and became so much more than we were initially introduced to. Great job!

Fab trilogy
I properly enjoyed this series. I'm glad it ended as a trilogy as it could have dragged on. The relationships were amazing and I'm glad Iphi came into her powers and fixed the relationship with her mum!

Great series!
I enjoyed this series. It was unique and creative which can be hard to come by in vampire/shifter books. This book was a great ending to the series with our characters having their HEA.

They were very good books!
All 3 books in the series were really good. The first one started a little weird but, it was really good once u give it a few chapters. It definitely has action in it.

Fun to read
I am sad to see the trilogy end and I was kind of hoping there would be some Nolan love from Iphi.
