**Must be read after book one, Variant Lost. There are no spoilers involved in my review.

"I need a little more light, baby..."

I genuinely do not know where to start. I have been waiting for Vital Found since finishing Variant Lost late last year and I can tell you right now... the wait was well worth it. Kaydence Snow has done it again in her second ever novel, by delivering a story that has you hooked from the prologue all the way to the end. Her characters are captivating and their stories are addictive.

"Let it flow, baby..."

I finished this book a few days ago and I am still in awe. I have been fighting to try find the right words that will do it justice, and honestly I still don't believe I do. But let's try yeah? If you have read Variant Lost and finished it with a million questions, rest assured they are all answered when you read Vital Found. This is the main reason Kaydence has become one of my favourite authors, due to the fact that she listens to her readers and takes in what they say but mostly what they want. For me personally, every question I asked was answered, and every gap I wanted filled was given it's missing piece.

"Take it all if you have to..."

You might read the blurb, or know the sub genre this book is in, however let me be the first to tell you that even though The Evelyn Maynard Trilogy is a reverse harem - it is NOTHING like your typical smut related ones. Yes it has so much sexual chemistry you can feel it in your bones, and yes there is steamy scenes and hot kisses shared amongst the four guys and Eve. However that is not the story nor is it the main attraction of this book. Vital Found is a book where you have a bit of everything you love in a romance. You get to swoon over the love Ethan, Josh, Tyler and Alec have for Evelyn. You get the mystery, thrill and adventure for what they are fighting against and for. You get those hot and heavy moments that are sure to make you blush six ways from sunday. But you will most definitely get a story that draws you in, keeps you hostage and leaves you wanting more, more and more.

"Knowledge is Power."

Words will never be enough to describe just how much I love this book or how much I love this Trilogy. I encourage you to read this book, and get lost in the story of Evelyn and her boys, because it is one you will happily do over and over again. Vital Found is definitely the easiest add to not only my 2019 Favourite Reads, but to my number 1 spot. A job well freaking done by you Kaydence Snow.

I enjoyed this book, I just don't know what it is, but I feel like something is missing.

The amount of angst between Alec and Eve was maddening after awhile, but some of the comments the other guys made saying that they just need to figure it out were gold. I was thinking the same thing. Alec was being too stubborn at times and I wanted to shake him and be like trust her you big goof! Same goes for Eve when she was near Alec, all they could do was fight and not get along, and I understood it for the first bit, but then I was like, "freaking kiss and make up already!"

Eve's internal dialogue is relatable and she isn't whiny or annoying which is nice since we are only getting her POV. I really think that these books would have been way better if we got all of the guys POV, or at least a couple chapters to hear their side.

Again like the last book you could feel the chemistry from all of the love interest. I will say that Tyler and Eve before their relationship went to the next level I was getting annoyed by how Tyler was handling it, and how Eve was just assuming he didn't like her at all.

I am excited to see what the third and final book has in store for us since this book ended with a bang.

This was one of the series that had been recommended to me when I asked for recommendations in one of my Facebook groups and the first book in the series absolutely didn't disappoint. So, when I found out that the collection was on sale I didn't hesitate and got it. And of course, from then on it rotted away on my iPad, with the other 1000 unread e-books on there. However, now I'm finally on track with my review copies again it was time to pick up something from me.

And picking up this book was the perfect choice. The book picks up where the last book stopped and since it has been some time since I've read it, I needed some time to remember all the details. However, without info-dumping or over repeating, the book gave me enough information to have everything coming back quite soon. And it didn't take long before I was addicted and totally into it once more.

I have to admit that plot-wise the book seems a little slow. The last book ended with quite a bang, but for a long time no progression was made when it comes to figuring out what happened. It's quite realistic, of course. Getting information and getting things done needs time, but at times it felt like the characters were busy with other things. Well, most of all each other actually. After all, our harem was still wobbly and there was still a lot of relationship building to do.

And that was actually what we were getting in this book. And I really loved how emotional and intense this entire process was. It's always hard to write down passion, fire, longing, hurt, doubt and every other emotion in such a way that the reader feels it, but Snow really succeeded. It was almost impossible to put this book away, because emotionally and relationship wise there was so much going on and I was so rooting for Evelyn and her guys to figure everything out and to make things work!

In the last fourth of the book we however returned to the politics and the danger. And although I already started missing all the amazing interactions between Evelyn and her guys, it was nice to get some answers, some action and some new danger to look forward to in the last book of the trilogy!

Vital Found is the second book in a trilogy as this is not a standalone. The storyline continues to build and I love where Kaydence took us on this second installment of the Evelyn Maynard journey.

We left Eve, her friends, and her bonded Variants after they'd just fought a battle and one of her close friends not only died, but another was taken during it. So much has changed at Bradford Hills since that day, but so much has also stayed the same.

We join Eve and everyone else on an epic journey where she not only grows in her powers, but she also grows emotionally with each of her bonded Variants. Each one; Ethan, Josh, Tyler and Alec affect her differently which mean her interactions, her time spent with them, and her passion for each one are just a bit different.

When she initially met Tyler as a staff member, they both tried to keep their growing relationship within the confines of that tiny box. So now, unwrapping that relationship is like unwrapping a gorgeously decorated package that takes just time and appreciation before finally getting to the good stuff inside.

Ethan is your combustible, goofy jock and he's a giant teddy bear stuffed with gooey emotions. He's not intrinsically hard to figure out, but he's dangerous to touch too much so Eve has to take her time with him which is equally frustrating. The same goes for Josh, although he's quiet and contemplative. The opposite to his best friend Ethan, but just as dangerous.

Then we have Alec. He's a whirlwind of emotions, but so few see them or really know him. Known as the "Master of Pain" most people give him a wide berth, but Eve has never had trouble touching him or giving him a piece of her mind. Alec is also what I'd refer to as a steakhouse menu - he is delicious no matter what piece of meat you decide on, but he will most likely kill you when you devour him.

Vital Found is full of answers from questions that arose from book#1, but we also get more questions which will make book #3 exciting. There was more suspense, both new and old characters popped up, lots of steamy love scenes and tense emotions that kept me turning pages from cover to cover.

If you love supernatural, reverse harem, new adult, with suspenseful theme books then you'll love this trilogy.
