Vivid Avowed (The Evelyn Maynard Trilogy) Paperback – August 8, 2019

Spicy, emotional, action packed RH romance!I'm SO sad the trilogy is done now. Not sure how I'm going to find another book to top this! Every page, every character, every word, I hung onto like it was the grand finale of a race! I enjoyed every second of this series, and it will forever linger in my mind!Variants, people with a genetic trait that gives them a special ability, make up about half of the population. From super speed or super hearing, to telekinesis or fire wielding abilities, Variants strive to train their abilities at the highly sought after Bradford Hills Institute in Northern NY.Evelyn (Eve, Evie), spends her whole life on the run with her mother. Her mother won't answer any of her questions about why they are running or who they are running from, but her mother loves her unconditionally, trying to give her a good upbringing despite the circumstances. Evelyn, a human now living in Australia, makes friends for the first time in her life. She usually keeps her head down and keeps to herself, per moms orders. This time, however, she makes friends at school with Harvey and his sister Mia (both human). Her relationship with Harvey grows and they quickly become a couple. On her 17th birthday, Harvey gifts her a bracelet that she forgets to take off at home. Her mother notices immediately and forces her to pack her things, and they leave without even giving Evelyn a chance of saying goodbye to her boyfriend and his sister. They board a flight for CA, then plan to fly on to Idaho. On the flight, turbulence hits and the plane goes down. Her mother is ripped from her hands and Evelyn is barely alive when help arrives. She hears the most melodic deep voice that soothes her, despite all she hears. Evelyn and the copilot were the only survivors. In the hospital, she wakes to the melodic voice and he holds her through her tears. She felt an instant connection to him, but she wakes to him gone and has no way of finding him. Eve spends the next year in a good foster home, searching for him with no luck.One day, a letter comes stating she has a full ride scholarship to Bradford Hills Institute for her exceptional science academics in high school. She packs up and moves from Idaho to NY and quickly adjusts into her new life.Here, she meets Ethan (fire Variant student), Josh (telekinetic Variant student), and Tyler (truth Variant school admin). She also stumbles across her perfect voiced stranger who held her through her darkest moment. When she comes across him, Alec (pain Variant), he's the definition of an as$. He treats her terribly and it's frustrating to read. However, Ethan and Josh help her SO much and she soon learns she's not actually human and is connected to all 4 of them. Her journey through this discovery is new, terrifying, and difficult, but it's the first time she felt like she belongs somewhere. Even if Alec treats her like dirt and she has no clue how to weave through all of the hurdles thrown her way.The series had me on the edge of my seat every step of the way and I absolutely loved it! If you love the Lux series by Jennifer Armentrout and love a good RH, this book is GOLD.

I really enjoyed the conclusion to this story. I’ll admit this one was not as addicting as the first two books for me but I enjoyed all the pieces to the story. I was glad to see that there was conflict enough that it didn’t feel like all the characters just got a glossy happily ever after without feeling pain. Overall — I loved the entire trilogy and the story of Evelyn figuring out who she really was.

This series is such a terrific read from the first book to the last. The plot is interesting and different than most other books I have read. The characters are smart and likable. Surprised this series is not better known with how good it is…

Wow, I feel like I have no words. This is easily the best series I’ve read in a very long time! I loved everything about it, from the world building to the character development and the plot progression.I adored the growing relationship between Evelyn and her men, they were all on different levels of intimacy and emotional connection with her which was great.The world is just amazing, so creative and I absolutely adored following every moment. Nothing was rushed and I actually followed the concepts without feeling like I had to reread.I don’t usually read past the first or second book in a series - the setting changes to drastically or the characters/plot completely alter in a way that makes me hate it. But this series was so enjoyable for me, not once did I get bored or wish I could just go back to the world of the first book.100% amazing, I highly recommend, 5 stars all the way!!

It was a very good series. Each new book took me a second to get pulled into, but once I was in, I didn’t want to put them down. I especially loved this one. I was glad that Eve finally came to terms with all her men and that they were finally all working together and not keeping any more secrets. And the steam room scene…well it was pretty hot. I also liked that this book was more about the story and although there are a few steamy scenes, the story isn’t overrun with them and most of the time it’s just something she tells us in passing.

I always so enjoy when the bad guy(s) get what’s coming to them.Kaydence writes a blend of characters that are all vibrant and easy to love. I laughed, cried, celebrated and mourned with them throughout this story. Their diverse powers and ability to work together gave me all the feels.Love the epilogue, and hope to see more stories from the author.Reverse HaremSingle and group scenesNo MMSpice 🌶️🌶️🌶️

I enjoyed the trilogy.The writing was smooth, the editing well done. If you enjoy young/new adult reverse harem stories, these books are a worthy addition.I could see must of the twists coming long before they hit (kudos for the few that actually came as a surprise), and the solution to the main problem of Vivid Avowed seemed SO obvious from the start that I added a bookmark when they finally touched upon it (84% in), and then followed with a sigh as our heroine and heroes made a dumber (but more dramatic for reading) choice. But overall, it was fun.

Excellent! What a plot! Terrific, well-done characters. Battle scenes (yes, there are battle scenes) are written so well, you could be standing there. Could not be happier that I invested the time to read this trilogy.

This was a great series. The characters were well written and really drew you into their relationships and who doesn't like hea???

Loved this book. I would have loved to read about Evie's journey through motherhood as well in the epilogue but that didn't happen. Anyways, I loved this series soo much. The action...the emotions....the world-building ...the chemistry everything had me completely spellbound throughout the course of the series.. can't wait to read more books by Kadence.

Every character was just perfect. Every phrase, every word. I feel a bit of loss now that I've read them away. 😥 Eve"s four guys are hot as $@#!. Their protective, pure love was beautiful, even when it hurt. Both Eve"s strength and her weaknesses were what made this story epic.I loved getting lost in this world. Thank you, Kaydence Snow, for sharing what you"ve built.

I'm so in love with all of Evelyn's guys. My favorite throughout the series is probably Ethan, such a big teddy bear.I'm glad Evelyn and Alec worked out their issues, and that he's now able to be himself fully, to show how much he loves Evelyn, and to embrace his ability instead of hating it.Evelyn has a tendency to think too much for things that are not that important. But I still really liked her character and he nerd side.As for Davis's death, I think it happened too fast, it was kind of in a blur, like Tyler shot him and then he's dead and that's all...I'm so sad the series is over, but it ended on a perfectly with the epilogue!

I thought the story was interesting and was kind of ignoring the amount of unnecessary sex scenes in the previous books. But I see that seems to be the main point of this book, with some "mystery" and "action" here and there and just all out sex for the rest of the time. Not worth it.
