I love love love this series!

I was so honored to get an arc copy of this book.

Oh boy this book seriously was like 3 books in one.

I ate it up!!!

I do wish some of the world building had been more present in the first three books though. At points it was a bit overwhelming.

I still enjoyed the book and look forward to what happens next.

The Arena part was my absolute favorite. Ugh it’s so hard not to spoil anything.

I’m happy with where it ends. And without spoiling anything that’s all I can say.

Buckle up going into this book because it is a ride!

Book 4 of a Romantasy why choose Beauty and the Beast retelling is the best of the series so far. These characters have my heart in every way and I am going to be so impatient until we get a release date for Book 5.

Love love love this book, They follow rosalina and the four princes of spring, winter, summer and autumn. This is the fourth book flowing the summer realm and her relationship with dayton who is the only prince she isn’t mated too but loves. I love the world building in this and the storyline with Prince of spring wanting to kill them kept me so intrigued. Highly recommend and role on number 5.

First of all, big thanks to NetGalley and Elizabeth Helen for giving me the opportunity to read this arc.

2.75 stars

When I started this series, I really liked the first and second books, and their writing style. I would like to say that the writing style has remained consistent, but this whole series kinda just feels like another version of the 'Bonds That Tie' series, the reason being that it was just too dragged out and repetitive. I also skipped most of the smut scenes because they also became repetitive and I feel like there were too many for my liking.
Moving on to the characters, I really liked Rosalina and the way she was the fearless and reckless fmc I usually love. I feel like there were too many of others' POVs, and that was what made the story a bit slower for me.
AND ALSO DAYTON FINALLY ADMITTED THAT ROSALINA WAS HIS MATE???? YAY?
But although I feel like there's still a lot more to find out about this series, I probably won't be continuing or reading the next book unless I get another arc.

Thank you anyways :)

This book was a lot more fast paced than the previous titles and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

Almost all the characters are idiots, and I love them immensely.

The spice, as always with this series, was titillating. Four out of five spicy peppers from me.

Did I get stressed about what might happen at the end and have to put the book down for a couple days as I prepared myself? Absolutely. Will I be subjecting myself to this emotional damage called Beast of the Briar books again? Also absolutely.

I picked up these books for big hot fae men. What I got was big hot fae men, with a lot of trauma, but also growth, interesting world building, and pain.
I'm in it for the long run, and I think Elizabeth and Helen are giddy with how they will break our hearts in the next instalment.

Broken By Daylight ARC Review
Thank you NetGalley and Elizabeth Helen.

This is one of my favorite series and definitely the series I have the most physical copies of. Although I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed the others, it was still great to go back to the Enchanted Vale and check in on some of my favorite characters.

This book introduced several new characters that I loved. I ate up all of The Little Mermaid and Hercules-like scenes. We got a lot more answers in this book with more twists and turns and cliffhangers. I enjoyed some of the spice scenes but others felt odd and rushed. I was looking forward to the scene where Day and Blossom would seal their mating bond but I didn’t end up enjoying it as much as the others.

I love Cas and can’t wait for his book. We found out a lot more about him and that was my favorite part.

Some books for some reason just hit all the right spots. It's the case with this one ! I love the relationships and the characters and their interactions.

Brilliant fourth book.the background, the drama, the chaos that ensues. Then the epic cliff hanger!! I need more

I've really come to love how all the characters have grown. Rose's dynamic with everyone has developed so much and it's very entertaining to see how the relationships between all the characters have changed since the beginning. The crew, especially Dayton, go through such a rough time in this book and it was slightly frustrating to see how everything was being dragged out but it was still a great read. There were some healing moments and I'm really looking forward to how all their stories continue. I did miss the whole group being together but I feel like each character had some very good characters. The plot is starting to get a little lost but with all the action and emotions, it's still an engaging story and there were some humorous parts that I enjoyed.

Let me just say…. WOW. What a roller coaster?!

I feel like this one is going to take me weeks to process and come to terms with, but yes. All the feels, the good, the bad, the sad, the sexy and the ugly.

The last 20% of this book just takes you FULL THROTTLE!

I am STRESSED bc it ends on a cliffhanger in multiple aspects, and the autistic in me LITERALLY needs to know what happens next or I feel I may internally combust - but in the same token, it gives me something to HEAVILY pine for and look forward to for book 5!

When are we getting book 5 btw? This series will pick you up and spirit you away to another realm and every time I come to the end of a book in this series, I’m begging to go back!

TAKE ME BACK TO CASTLETREE!!!!!
I WANT TO BE WITH MY MATES! 😩🍁🐚🌷🥀❄️✨

I love this series and 'broken by daylight' is no exception. The book gets off to a good start and keeps going! These books are so easy to read, as the pace is great. I am eagerly awaiting book 5.

Daytons book is here and it did not disappoint! This book was a whirlwind of adventure and emotions. You get so much world and character building. I love all the POVs and personalities at play here. Watching these characters grow and come together throughout the series is something special! It was great to get Dayton’s backstory as I was always rooting for him. I am also so happy to learn more about Cas as well 🖤!

I love this series so much, its unqiue and spicy with a lot of depth.

I am sad we’ll have to wait for another book in order to get a potential happy ever after but this book was a great instalment. We get some more movement on the war front and the confrontations with the below, we get to know new characters and family members. There’s also some secrets that come to the surface which opens up the story more providing some much needed answers to questions some of us have been asking for a couple books.

✨ Thank you Harper Collins UK, HarperFiction for sending me an ARC copy of this series that I’ve been absolutely OBSESSED with from book one! ✨

The Elizabeth Helen sisters are seriously pulling tricks on us by making this series as addictive as it is, only to leave us hanging on THAT cliffhanger! 😱 As much as I consider myself a bit of a masochist reader, I have to admit... some of those twists? Didn’t see them coming. And when they did? Yeah, I was a little disappointed. Don’t get me wrong—I LOVED this book (and the previous ones), but are the authors trying to take us on a Zodiac Academy-level rollercoaster? 🎢 Because I don’t know if I can handle that kind of heartbreak again!

But let’s talk about what did work: Dayton’s character arc was absolutely FLAWLESS! 🙌 I feel like Rosalina finally has a mate who’s got his act together. His loyalty to her and Farron is so compelling and genuine, showing just how much he’s grown and proving he’s exactly what Rosalina needs after everything she’s been through. Their dynamic feels like one of the strongest points in the book, and watching them build their relationship was incredibly satisfying.

I also appreciated how much Ez progressed. Honestly, after how wild and untethered he was in book 3, I wasn’t sure if I could take another round of that behavior. But in this installment, he’s matured in a way that makes him much more relatable and easier to root for. It feels like he’s finally found some stability.

Now, Caspian—this man has been a mystery since day one, and the way his character has been slowly revealed has kept me glued to the pages. He’s always been intriguing, but now that we’re getting to see more of him, I’m hooked! 🔥 Also, can we talk about that hot scene between Rosa, Kel, and Cas? That was long overdue and definitely worth the wait. 😏

As for Kel, his development has been steady, and though he wasn’t the star of this book, I loved that he’s finally treating Rosalina the way she deserves. He’s doing his part, but nothing groundbreaking—which is fine!

Now onto Farron… OMG, what happened here?! 😳 I mentioned in my Forged by Malice review that I felt his character arc was a bit underwhelming, and in this book, the shift in his storyline was just... unexpected. I get that the authors were trying to stir things up, but I’m not sure this was the best direction for him. Even though I’m not totally in love with where things are going, I can’t help but be super curious to see how this plotline unfolds in future books.

This book also took us deeper into the worldbuilding, splitting up our fave mates to explore different dynamics, which I loved. ❤️ The bonding between Kel and George? Far and Cas being their perfect selves? Dayton and Rosa?YES to all of that. And the secondary characters in this book brought so much to the story.

So yeah, I’m pissed… but I also loved it. And I guess that was the authors’ goal. Mission accomplished. ✔️

I actually cannnnnoot. This series is amazing, I'm obsessed. I am also super bummed because I need book five immediately.

Broken by Daylight is the darkest of the four so far, it's the most action packed, and it also leaves on the biggest cliffhanger.

Caspian is the best, you can't convince me otherwise.

I could barely put this book down from the moment I picked it up. It was exciting and addictive... Bring on the next in the series!

Oh my god. This book was everything. Are you kidding me?! The plot thickens!! Literally. I loved every minute of this book. There were so many times where I thought I knew what was coming next and then bam!! Twist. I seriously cannot wait until the next book. Every time I finish a book in this series I am so sad. The wait is too much!! I love the characters and I love the direction the story is going in. I actually love how long this book was as well. Just an amazing book.
Thank you so much NetGalley.

No! Stop it! Why do I love this series so much! Easy 5 stars! I can't say enough good things about this book and series in general. Elizabeth and Helen (Elizabeth Helen) are absolutely incredible writers, who have created a world I can't get enough of, characters I am madly I love with and an incredible, impressive plot. They broke my heart, put it back together, exposed so much but still let me with so many more questions. An absolutely incredible addition to the Beasts of The Briar series, and dare I say one of my favorites in the series. My only complaint was the use of the word "daddy" once, and i wish more than anything the characters where together more. If you've read the series, then you'll 100% understand what i mean by this. But overall, I am still obsessed with this series and can't get enough of it. Highly reccomend!
