This book was an absolute emotional rollercoaster! With so many characters to invest in and layers of tension building throughout, I was completely hooked. I kept sitting up straighter as if that would somehow help me brace for what was coming—but it never did. Just when I thought I had a handle on the story, another twist came out of nowhere and knocked me sideways. And now, I’m left sitting in the aftermath, overwhelmed and desperate for more, even though this book has only just been released.

The obsession is real. I have a feeling this one won’t be letting me go anytime soon.
Thanks netgalley for letting me read and review

I have enjoyed this series from the beginning! The characters have a lot of growth individually in this newest installment. I do feel that the main characters did not have much development with each other as a whole. There were some twists in the story that were not too surprising, and I truly hope that Kai is becoming a "good" guy. I'm here for the Kai/Wrenley side story. Spice is wonderful, but when there is more spice than story that can be an issue. While I did enjoy the book, I felt it was drawn out and there was not as much advancement in the story line.

One of my fav authors that I covered by accident. But j love how each book is about a diff character getting to have their love story. And I’m really glad to have gotten to have book four and I’m really hoping there is a book 5

Thank you to the authors, Netgalley and the publisher for an eARC of Broken by Daylight.

I remember reading the first books and thought I could just jump back in. That was not the case, I have forgotten everything (including why I put the series down to begin with). There is no reason this needs to be a 7 book series, because now we are in the "middle" and the plot is starting to drag or get convoluted . This book was too long, this series is way too long and once again ends on a cliffhanger. I want to support mainstream published RH but I just don't like where this story is going or how we are getting there (choices the characters make do not seem consistent).

Absolutely delicious continuation on the Beasts of the Briar series. Rosie and the princes travel to the summer realm to help Dayton find his mate and break his curse. Little does the group know, there is a traitor in their midst who is working to sabotage every effort to save the Enchanted Vale and free the prince of summer from his curse. Can Rosie help Day save Summer and find his mate or will Summer fall to the Below?
Elizabeth Helen has done it yet again with writing another addictive, deliciously spicy adventure in the Enchanted Vale. I was hooked until the very end and didn't see all the twists and turns this story would take. By the end, my jaw was on the floor and I was left teetering on the edge of a major cliffhanger!

Broken By Daylight" by Elizabeth Helen is an intense, emotionally charged read that pulled me in from the start. The story blends magic, healing, and romance elements in a way that feels raw and real. The characters are complex and relatable, and I couldn’t put it down. A must-read for anyone who loves a mix of fantasy, romance, and deep emotion

MY FAVOURITE SERIES EVER. That was one **** of a rollercoaster and I don't know if/when I will recover from it. I have screamed, cried, swore and pulled at my own hair in frustration. I am not one to be effected by books in this way but my goodness this series has me by the throat. 5 starts... I would give it more of I could!

Great book, really enjoyed the story and can’t wait to read more from the author. Plenty of action and super fun!

This book was everything I needed it too be and more - Dayton’s book and all the little tensions between him/rosalina/farron are just so Heartbreaking but we learn so much in this book which gives a lot more backstory and open areas to lead into the next book! Cannot wait for the next one

This book might be my favourite in the series yet and a new all time favourite fantasy series!

Broken by daylight was such a brilliant continuation of the story and as always was the most swoonworthy blend of adventure, romance, humour and emotional moments. I adore all these characters and how their mating bonds are so unique to one another, every individual relationship is so special and it's so unlike me to not be rooting for anyone in partiular. This series is such a joy to read and is so easy to get lost in, I cannot wait to absolutely devour the rest of the series and will be raving about these books forever! Such a fun time and I can't wait to see where it goes.

Thankyou so much for my early copy!

THIS SERIES IS PERFECT

Don’t get this twisted the first book starts off as a fun sexy time but as we get deeper into this series the world and characters develop into a magical experience.

I cannot get enough of these characters (I’m a Dayton girlie all the way 🥹) I just want them all to get the happy ending they deserve but the authors insist on causing me drama and pain!!!

I have read the previous three books in the series, which I was enjoying, but I really struggled to make it through this books - so I have ended up having to DNF this book after putting it off for months.

I still enjoy the characters, but it was becoming repetitive. The plot was progressing and evolving but the formula has been the same so far through the books. I also was becoming bored with the smut scenes, I stopped caring about her relationship with most of the Princes (bar my favourite). I think my issue came down to the switch between "the realm is under attack" to "smutty scene". Again, I was enjoying the series, the previous books were all around the 3.5 star mark for me, but something about this book put me off.

I'd like to say that one I'll come back to this - and maybe I genuinely will to see how it ends as I am kinda curious and do think about it on occasion - but it's not at the top of my list.

Another of my issues is that I have yet to be shocked by a plot twist, most have been veri obvious. I do not mind it when things are obvious, but when everything seems pretty obvious it's disappointing to me - and this is coming from someone who often fails to predict plot twists in books.

If you're looking for a fun smutty fantasy time then I would recommend reading this series, but if you're looking for a bit more substance then this may not be the book for you.

The Beasts of the Briar series has always been a whirlwind of magic, romance, and high-stakes adventure, and Broken by Daylight is no exception. This fourth installment delivers on the action and long-awaited answers, but it also raises new questions—both in the plot and in my own feelings about the series.

Let’s start with the good. The world-building continues to expand in fascinating ways. Elizabeth Helen does an incredible job of immersing readers in the Enchanted Vale, and this book especially deepens our understanding of the Summer realm. From its hidden dangers to its culture and politics, I loved how every new setting felt purposeful rather than just a backdrop. And the side characters? They are finally getting their due! I was completely invested in several subplots, and it’s clear the authors are setting up major developments for future books.

Now, onto the characters. Rosie continues to grow into her power, though at times she feels a little too perfect, mastering magic and relationships with ease. The five princes each have their own arcs, some stronger than others. Ezryn and Caspian remain standout favorites for me—Ezryn’s redemption arc was much needed (though a little slow in execution), and Caspian once again proves why he’s the true MVP of this series. Dayton’s journey was also compelling, making that moment near the end even more heartbreaking. And then there’s Farron… whew. He frustrates me to no end, but I can’t deny that his chemistry with Caspian was chef’s kiss.

However, the book isn’t without its flaws. The pacing felt uneven—so much happened, yet at times it dragged with excessive internal monologues and repetitive descriptions. And while I love a steamy romance, there were moments where the intimate scenes felt more like fillers than necessary emotional beats. Also, the endless cliffhangers… I get it, it’s the signature style of the series, but at some point, I just want to breathe before being thrown into another whirlwind of unresolved tension.

Overall, Broken by Daylight was an entertaining, emotional ride, even if it wasn’t my favorite in the series. The high stakes, character growth, and world expansion kept me engaged, but I do wish the storytelling was a bit tighter. With three more books to go, I’m cautiously excited to see how it all unfolds.

*this book was sent in exchange for an honest review*

Elizabeth bloody Helen you two never fail me in your books. This was slower paced, kept you on your toes, left me wanting more

Let me tell you the last 20 chapters are full of nothing but heartache, stress, insanity and so much more

I can’t wait to see what this series has to offer, it truly has my whole heart

Magnificent romantasy series that delivers with every book, after each one, I'm so excited for the next one - I'm not sure my nerves will manage the wait for book seven! But I will definitely enjoy the ride. Hard to explain further without spoilers but if you don't know what we are all expecting in this book and who is at the epicentre, do yourself a favour and go back and read Bonded with Thorns the amazing start to this series. You'll be very glad that you did!

I could have sworn I already submitted this! I was lucky enough to receive this ARC and I was determined to read it before the release. This is a hefty book. There is a lot of background and story with it but I think it was written in a way that it didn’t annoy or bother me. I wasn’t thinking about how it could have been shorter and honestly, I wanted more. I am frustrated with Ez and I hope he gets his crap together and finally accepts the mating bond. I’ve been mad at Day for awhile now and as soon as there was resolution things changed again. Not sure how that will impact things. I love Cas and used to be a Cas and Ezryn girly but Ez has lost his way. Cas my sweet baby angel. His storyline hurts my heart 💔. I figured out the Wrenley thing and it was no shock. Farron however, was a shock. He is supposed to be so smart but what did he do?! The little sisters are awesome. Kel is just there at this point. 4/5

I loved loved loved this series it was so addicting and this book didn’t disappoint. The fantasy world and the spice was top tier , would honestly read anything this author puts out

I was completely captivated by the gripping storyline and complex characters. Helen has a remarkable ability to weave together suspense, emotion, and depth in a way that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The main character’s journey is raw, real, and deeply moving, and I found myself rooting for them every step of the way.

What sets this book apart is its emotional impact and the way it explores tough themes with such sensitivity and insight. The pacing is perfect, building tension while allowing for moments of quiet reflection, and the writing is absolutely stunning. If you’re looking for a thought-provoking, heart-wrenching read that will stay with you long after you turn the last page, Broken by Daylight is an absolute must-read!

Screaming, crying, throwing up. This was the most intense book in the series so far and I don’t know how I’m going to survive until the next book comes out. This will 100% live rent free in my mind until the next book comes out.

So many theories confirmed and so many questions answered, but still so much remains unanswered in the war to save the Enchanted Vale!

Without (too many) spoilers multiple identities confirmed, bargains revealed, and mate bonds sealed. All the stakes climb as Rosie (and her Princes) really discover the true powers they wield together. I loved seeing Rosie becoming powerful and confident!

Thank you to Net Galley and to the publishers for sending me a copy in exchange for a review.

This series has me in a chokehold even though I'm not a big fan of spicy books - they're just easy to read, and fun to follow. I will say that the spice seems to get hotter every book, with this being the penultimate in the series, I honestly can't see what else they could possibly get up to?!

However I am invested in the plot and to see how our little found family gets out of the danger they're in.

Perfect fro fans of SJM, Jennifer L Armentrout and Scarlet St.Clair.
