NO LIGHT is book four in the Werelock Evolution series and is SOOO much more than just a paranormal romance! It's dark and light at the same time (I know you're saying, WTH??) but it's completely true! Although this one's a standalone, I'd recommend starting with book one because not only are the first three AWESOME, they'll give a more complete picture of the overall plot.
This story goes off on a tangent with Alcaeus and Avery as the main characters but it's still an integral part of the original storyline which is basically the protection of ALL mankind (werewolf and human). Alcaeus is a centuries old werelock, a hunter looking for the prophesied "Rogue" who will supposedly bring about the end of man. Avery is the mother of the Rogue, a werewolf who hunts the hunters. One glance and these two know they're fated mates. Complicated much?!?
This book was EXHILARATING, NAIL BITING, and EXCITING! It made me laugh with witty banter and snarky commentary. It made me cry because I was 100% invested in the characters. And it made me sigh with the hot as hell, sexy scenes! There's some surprisingly crazy twists, too. Honestly, half the time I was saying, "YES, Avery go for it!" and the other half chanting, "NO, Avery, don't do it!" LOL!
Alcaeus was absolutely swoon worthy, so charming, protective and sweet with both Avery and her daughter, Sloane. I loved watching his character grow within the story! Avery is described as a BAD ASS and she definitely was. She was also funny, sassy, smart and one tough Mama when it came to Sloane...I wanna be her when I grow up! Plus, I got to see other sides of some important secondary characters so I can't wait to read their stories in the next installments.
This is one of my most favorite paranormal series, I've loved every book so far! Kudos to Ms. Ivers for creating such a wonderfully rich world with fascinating characters and captivating storylines! Told from dual POVs with a happy for now ending (the saga continues with new characters...yipee!!)

Keep in mind this is a standalone in the Werelock Evolution Series! The first three books, Slip of Fate, Fear the Heart, and the Revenge of the wrong should be read in order to get the full impact of the series.
I have officially returned from my emotional rollercoaster ride after a binge read of this book. Already I want to ease the book-over (book hangover) with a sneaky little peak back at parts of the book in order to satisfy my addiction to this series! I know, I know you’re thinking, “Really chick? Over dramatic much?”. Yes, really. For me, this book was incredibly intense!
No Light picks up 10 years after the last book (Revenge of the Wronged, Werelock Evolution #3) left off. After the devastating loss that the Reinoso pack suffered and the earth shatter chaos that ensured, Alcaeus is on a very special mission. The one true Rogue is out there, and it's his goal to find him/her/it. In the long journey and search, Al is grieving for the women he loved for so long. He’s a bit of a lost puppy (pun totally intended) in many respects. He’s lost himself in the mindless motions to help him feel alive. As he’s set up to come face to face with the Rogue’s protector and ultimately capture her he’s thrown a curveball he never expected...the woman he faces at the most impromptu of times brings him back to life in more ways than one! Even when he’s so witty and cunning he’s so clueless!
Avery is in the battle of all epic battles. She’s fighting for her daughter's life first, and her own second. 10 years ago she lost her life in a brutal attack that left her without a family or any peace. She managed to escape mortality as she waited to die thanks to a dark entity that pulled her back. She was left to no longer be human, but a werewolf who would give birth to the most feared creature in the supernatural world. Regardless of how others see her daughter, she sees a child she loves and will die to protect. Even if that means hiding her from the world, enlisting the help of the surprising human variety, a keen knack for outsmarting the bad guys and some serious pretty killer evading skills that will make any ninja proud. When she’s lured into a setting to take out a powerful hunter she gets more than she bargained for. Never had she experienced the emotional and physical pull she does in his presence.
Together they make you dizzy with their incredible trip all over the world, through mountains of emotions and more. There is so much that has to be sorted out and conquered. The question is, which one will succeed in completing their missions? Or will they be included in what has been prophesied as the end of all ends at the hands of the one true Rogue? Who gets what they want faster? How is the future determined at the hands of a child?
Let me tell you, I alternately laughed, cried, giggled, got mad, yelled at my kindle (a daily occurance mind you) and maybe blushed! Hettie has a way of throwing you off balance from one page to the next. Each page can strike a different emotion and have you following the same routine I did. The witty moments mixed with the outright humor, suspense, intrigue, sadness, anger and the other 3797345983487593 you can think of add so much to her stories. She has made me stop a wonder what the heck goes on in that brilliant mind of hers! I can’t say enough about how freaking AWESOME this story was! Seriously, if you haven’t experienced the world that lives with in her creative mind and soul, you’re missing out! This has tied for my most favorite book of all time! Be prepared to ride that roller coaster, and suffer with the book-over when it’s all said and done. I sure as the heck am willing to get back on that coaster!

Sexy werewolves/warlocks on steroids – just couldn’t put it down!
This is book 4 in the Werelock Evolution series and since it was described as a standalone I read it first out of order. I literally devoured it and when I was finished I immediately went on to Slip of Fate (which is book 1 in Milena and Alex’s trilogy) which made me realize how much I missed by not having read them in order, so I wouldn’t recommend it at all.
Actually it’s never a good idea to start with the negative things about a book, especially one that in all other aspects is so mind-blowingly fantastic, but here it is: it takes one third of the book until the heroine and hero finally meet, although that first meeting is everything one could hope for as the heroine proceeds to shoot the hero. Powerful werelock and playboy that he is, rather than being fazed by this kind of reaction, he is instantly charmed instead…
Avery had a hard time growing up being shuffled from one foster home to the next, but she always was resilient like a weed. When her life finally seems on track with an academic career, normalcy, and friends, she, her fiancé and two of her friends are attacked and killed by a rogue werewolf on a camping trip. But Avery refuses to die and as a result of the events of that fateful night she gives birth to a girl with extraordinary powers… but since that little girl is believed to be the rogue of all rogues that, according to some ancient prophecy, is going to bring about the end of humankind, they are both being hunted relentlessly. As a matter of fact, Alcaeus has also been hunting her for years, but when he finally meets her, killing is the farthest thing on his mind….
So, what I really loved about this book (especially compared to Milena and Alex’s story) is that the heroine is no blushing virgin, but an adult, tough woman who has loved before and is a kick-ass fighter into the bargain. Also, she puts the well-being of her daughter above else, even if it means leaving her mate. The hero is a strong alpha type, but when it comes to her daughter he is mush, and he goes against his family and also his long-held beliefs in order to support Avery and protect her and her daughter. Very emotional towards the end and oh so beautiful. The sex is hot and raw, but in parts also sweet. Great combination.
An original and captivating paranormal werewolf tale, full of magic and passion.
