Book Review: Ten

 

TEN

Killing my mate might have saved our continent from her psychotic rule, but it destroyed me—all that’s left is an unfeeling husk of an alpha. But my brother Noire isn’t done asking for my help. His mate, Diana, is dying, and the only place that might hold answers is the ancient library at Pengshur, a center of knowledge and healing.

The brilliant, happy-go-lucky female librarian assigned to our group stares at me when she thinks I’m not looking. As days pass and our search for answers reveals dangerous secrets, Onmiel becomes my first real friend and confidante. She burrows her way under my skin, consuming my thoughts and recentering my world around her smile.

ONMIEL

Underneath Ten’s alpha austerity lies a kindred spirit. But he’s drowning in an ocean of pain and loss. So, I make it my job to make him smile, then laugh. I get him hooked on coffee and books, and friendship follows.

As our search for answers grows frantic, Ten becomes far more than just my client. Tender stolen moments turn into playful touches and heated looks until I know there’s more between us. I need him to open his eyes to what’s right in front of him—a second chance at love.

But long-buried secrets from my past return to haunt me, and Ten and I are caught in the crosshairs. Now I don’t know if I’ll ever get a chance to love Ten, or if the fates are conspired against us.

Ten is the final book in the Temple Maze series, and ends with a happily ever after!

My Review

I felt for Ten after the cliffhanger ending in book two. I could not wait to read his story. Anna did not disappoint with this book. Ten does get his HEA (finally) but not before going through another trial that will test him. Luckily, this time he is joined by his brothers, Noire, and Jet and their mates Arliss, Ascelin, and Diana.

Onmiel is the newest addition to this group. I loved her a lot. The fact that she had not watched the maze games and therefore was not afraid of the group was refreshing. It allowed her to get to know everyone for their "real" selves. 

The romance between Ten and Onmiel is a very slow burn. Yet, after what Ten went through previously in the prior book, I appreciated that the tone of these two's relationship was a slow burn. I felt all of the emotions that Ten was experiencing. This book really made me fall for him even more. In fact, he may be my favorite of the three brothers. 

Fans of this trilogy will love this final book. I can guarantee that they will fall in love with Ten as much as I did. This book is a perfect "Ten"!
