Dark Lies (Magic Side: Wolf Bound Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,698 ratings

My nightmare’s not over. It’s just beginning.

I killed the sorcerer who turned my life into a living hell, yet I can’t seem to escape the ghosts of my past. The servants of a dark god are hunting me for my blood, and I need to stop them before they bring destruction down on us all.

To make matters worse, I’ve turned into one of the monsters I feared most. I need to find out why before my family discovers my secret—before my fated mate, Jaxson Laurent, claims me as his own. He’s as hot as sin, and I can barely restrain myself when he’s near, but I won’t let him rule me, and I won’t let the fates determine my path.

With new threats lurking in every shadow and time running out, I’ll have to rumble with bikers and face down a vampire to get the answers I need. But when I finally unmask the dark lies that have haunted my past, will I be strong enough to face what’s coming?

Book 3 of 4
An action-packed urban fantasy, Dark Lies features a kick-ass heroine, a dangerous hero, and a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance.

Very intriguing, capturing and it lures you into the story. I couldn't stop reading. I'm on to the next book in the series. It's one of the best series I have read in such a long time. Jax is unyielding and powerful both physically and emotionally. He's loyal. He's all alpha and powerful enough to stand by Savy.
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2023
I really really wanted to give it 5! But I kept bouncing between 4 and 4.5 honestly only bc I was so annoyed that Savys character has zero personal growth. Jax he really comes around and grows. Savy omg I get she has had a lot to deal with but asking for help or actually listening instead of just I’ll do it by myself ugh! I
Get that this is enemies to lovers but hello this is the 3rd book. She’s still acting like a high school girl. Ok sorry soap box over.

The over all book was good lots twists and turns I love Sam, cassy, neve, all the characters they are so much fun! Yes I’m just hoping Savy character has growth in the fourth and we don’t have to wait till the end for them to be finally be a couple.

This series of books have been the very best I have ever read. I would love for somebody to make a movie of them. This is the first books I’ve read from this author but she remarkable. I can not put them down. I was only reading at night before bed but now I’m reading all through the day anytime I sit still for a couple of minutes I’m reading.

I really enjoyed the characters and how they were introduced into the storyline. The reader is introduced into the world of magic and magical beings. You don't want the chapter to end, but cannot resist starting the next one.

It kept me on my toes. I so cannot wait to read the next book. I feel bad for Jasxon and Savannah. Hopefully, in the next book everything works out for them.
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2022
The books well written and it has a good plot. Characters are likable not so much the FMC. 3 kisses and half a sex scene in 3 books make it a little to cold for me. At least a few more kisses. Not bad . Might even read the next book.
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2022
I enjoyed this 3rd book. It had lots of plot twists and action scenes. There is a lot scammed in. I did find myself skimming a little bit during the longer winded parts. My biggest problem with it was the lack or growth or development between Savy and Jax. I hate their lack of communication and weird dynamics. I think it would be stronger if they figured that out and it wasn’t left up in the air. I also hated the intimate scene. It felt so forced and wrong. I mean she’s thinking about how much she dislikes him and does want to be owned. Relationships aren’t about “owning”. The ending wasn’t my fave for the same reason. I don’t mind a cliffhanger but the push and pull between the two of them is exhausting at this point. I don’t know if I will read book 4.

Okay, so some things that were obvious in previous books finally got confirmed which was great because it had become distracting. There was a twist that wasn't entirely surprising at the end but it was executed in a way that made it satisfying. The very end left me stunned. I really thought that Savy had grown but the end made it clear that wasn't the case. I generally dislike cliffhangers but this one was well done. I think the next book is the end of this particular series and I really hope it wraps things up in a satisfactory way.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book was so great.
Reviewed in Canada on December 9, 2022
This review is for the 4 books.

Everything started with an attempted abduction that gives no choice to Savannah Caine than leave her little town and find answers to a new family in Magic-Side. She will discover secrets hidden by her parents, discover a new world and find out that fate can be a bitch sometimes. Who can she trust? The alpha of the local pack? Her new aunt? Dangers are on the way and she's going to need all the help she can get.

If you know me, you know I’m an urban fantasy/paranormal romance addict. These books are definitely entering my favorite PNR list alongside the Mercy Thompson series. This series made me go through many emotions. I almost shove the two first books, Wolf Marked and Untamed Fate, by the window so much I was angry against Savannah (She is not even a real person) or the pack. The story is full of surprises, but some are predictable (fate mate), but I like a mix of both.

If you love character development, you will be pleased since the authors wrote some fascinating character developments, especially Savannah. I love her character so much for it, but also she's loyal, a fighter and she has the best crazy idea alongside her cousin, Casey. That character made me laugh a lot. 🤣 He brings some light to the books. This novel also comes with a grumpy and possessive alpha and you're going to love Jackson. Who doesn’t love a grumpy possessive alpha? 🤷‍♀️ His chemistry with Savannah is 🔥 🔥 🔥. She totally turns his head upside down. 😆 It is hilarious to read.

Let us not forget the wonderful work they did in creating the world of Magic Side. While reading the four books, you learn a bit more about the world, and how each species lives together in the city. My favorite scene is in Dark Lies with the pack with their legend and the run.

*It may take some time to get invested, but keep reading.

You will find in this book:
🐺Paranormal/ magic world
🔥Steamy slow burn
⚔️Enemies-to-lovers
😠Grumpy possessive alpha
❤️‍🔥Fate mate
🏛️Mythology/Legend
🔎Mystery

4.0 out of 5 stars A great sequel in line with the previous installments of the series
Reviewed in Italy on March 30, 2022
The people of Magic Side just can’t catch a break, can they? Plot wise, DARK LIES was an amazing third installment. There was no shortage of action to keep me interested, and the stakes just keep getting higher and higher with more mystery and more lore to discover. If you’re like me and enjoy investigations, this series will certainly cater to your needs! I loved seeing Savy getting closer and more in tune with her wolf and watching her slowly easing into the pack dynamic. The only reason why I feel like I enjoyed this third installment a tiny bit less than the previous two—apart from the fact that I missed Casey on a soul-deep level— was the stall in the relationship between Savy and Jaxson. I guess with a slow burn romance suffering is part of the deal, and there were some baby steps forward, but I find myself so aggravated by Savy’s continued desire to reject her feelings for Jaxson. Ignoring the magical implications of their bond, there’s undeniable attraction and the two have gone through a lot together. After three books, her attitude starts feeling too much like blind stubbornness. Stop fighting it, woman! I might suddenly make a cameo in the next book and take Jaxson for myself.

Overall, I really enjoyed this third adventure in Magic Side, and I can’t wait for the epic conclusion to this series!

Dragan’s soul is out there trying to call on the Dark Wolf God, something that was just thought to be myth among the pack.

Meanwhile the tension between Savy and Jackson is beyond 🥵

Prepare yourself to sit down with a tall cool refreshment as you read this urban fantasy with a kick ass heroine her scalding hot mate whether she likes it or not and tons of action.

Bring forth the next book please 🙏🏻

Reviewed in Canada on April 23, 2022
I absolutely loved this whole series and I can't wait for book 4 to come out in June!! I love the whole universe this series is set in and love running into characters from the other series. It's really well done and you won't want to put this book down once you start.
I will say that overall I found the main character Savannah to be frustrating at times and a little annoyed by her "don't tell me what to do" attitude. But I think it's supposed to play into the prophecy.
