Kingdom of Storms (The Desert Cursed Series Book 8)

Kingdom of StormsNot 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.

I LOVE everything Shannon Mayer writes!Her books are filled with sassy, smart, funny, bada$$ characters!!This series has Zam, Lila, Max, Balder and more!!I Love how the relationship have grown and how loyal they are to each other!!They are getting closer and closer to their final goal, which is exciting and sad all at the same time!!!Bring on book 9!!

This book is so well written. The story just pulls you in. The characters are well developed and written. The scenes are written with great care and detail.I love Zam, Lila and Maks. I love how strong of a main character Zam is, she doesn't take any thing from anyone. She is tough, but has so much love for her pack and family. That love gets her in to trouble most of the time and other times it just seems like she has really bad luck.I love how Lila and Zam always throw Shakes spear quotes out at each other and at Maks, even in the middle of danger or a fight.If you love a great story full of action, great fight scenes, humor, snark and you do not mind the occasional cuss word, a book that pulls you in fro the first word and keeps a hold of you until the last word then this is the book for you. But I suggest you start at the very beginning with Witches Reign.Read this series, thank me later.

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.

This is best read in a quiet, relaxing space. You’re going to need it because this book is tense and action packed. There isn’t a single moment of rest for poor Zam. She’s completed the first task laid out by the demon, Asag, and now must race on to the next. First, she must save Toad. The next task requires her to acquire a diamond. Should be simple. That’s what Zam did for Ish – steal gems. Best part, the diamond is being held in the same location as Maks. If only things were really that simple. Stuck with another controlling weapon, a useless male companion, and an army of rock men after them, the journey is fraught with danger and plenty of near misses. This book is so good. My only complaint is that I read it too fast. It’s so hard to savor a Shannon Mayer book when she keeps you on your toes the entire book. I can’t wait to see what kind of trouble Zam, Lila, and Maks get into in the next book.

Every time I think Shannon Mayer can’t take Zamira through anything worse or make her character shine any more brilliantly than it already does, she writes a new book with such genius that I feel like there is no way to write a review that can encompass just how deeply impressed I am. I don’t do spoilers, and man oh man, you would love the ones that stick out but I hate when I can’t tell you the parts that made me totally scare everyone when I suddenly burst out with laughter and mumble under my breath at certain unnamed characters just now.This will definitely be on my personal collection shelf!

This was another awesome book, as all Mrs Mayer’s books are. I’ve read most of her series with at least 3 books published already. I love her style and how she keeps up at the edge of our seats. With that being said, I feel like the author has too many projects going on at one time. With at least 4 completely different series to write for, not including the other series written jointly with other authors, the wait time for a book is at least 7 months long. I can’t imagine how hard it is to write a book but why so long of a wait if you have the title and cover of the following book already?I’m an avid reader so I go thru books like crazy, one after another, so it’s hard for me to recall exactly who’s who. It’s especially difficult with the character names found in fantasy books. This series is so fast paced that I don’t think that Zamira and company has had a full nights sleep. With this much action going on, I can guarantee that I do NOT remember all the little details and that’s a shame for how well written these books are.

I was a little nervous jumping back into this world thinking I'd forgotten. Let me tell you...it all comes rushing back. I've missed Dan, Lila, and of course Maks.Zam, always the underdog, has to fight to save her mate while dealing with some newer members you'll either love or hate. She meets new foes, new allies, and a whole cluster of unknown. Ups and downs this team can't catch their breath for long. This action packed installment flew by (I literally had to tell myself to slow down so I didn't blow through it too fast). Excited to see what the next book holds for our favorite pack!

I love this series so much!!! It will be hard waiting for the next book, but it will give me time to read them all again. 😊. Humour, friendship, love all tired together with a superb story line. Thanks Shannon 😊😊

Can't wait to read the next and final!Am also hopeful for a crossover with the first series in this world.Also would like to know more about Merlin and one of my favourite characters Flora.

As usual Shannon has delivered, the early just gets better the futher you read, I loved the first Jinn, character with all his switches and changes! I can't wait for the next book!

Shannon doesn’t disappoint in yet another can’t-put-it-down page turner. The connection between Zam and her family just echos throughout this book. I loved it!

She’s done it again a brilliant series the books just keep getting better just everything written by Shannon Mayer you won’t regret it
