Aahhhhhh!!!!!

I don't even know what else to say without spoiling everything, and I refuse to do that!!

Let's just say lots of wrongs are corrected and new wrongs forged. The sisters continue to write flawless spicy scenes that will make your inside tingle... I mean seriously???

More people need to read this series. The spice and the story!! Again aaaah!!!! I curse you Elizabeth Helen!!! You are both evil, wicked geniuses!

If you haven't read the Beast of the Briar series run, don't walk to buy it because I need to talk about it

Oh. My. God. This book. I was hooked from page one. Dayton deserved this book and I'm so grateful he got it. So many answered questions and so many more to be answered. Absolute perfection. The right amount of spice/drama/adventure all the way through. I can't wait to re-read this whole series again in anticipation of Book Five!!

So so so so good!!!! I already loved the first 3 books and this did NOT disappoint. The tension between dalton and rose ugh SO GOOD. The plot twist with farron HELLO??? THE FACT I HAVE TO WAIT A WHOLE HALF A YEAR PROBABLY

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Broken by Daylight is the fourth book in the Beasts of the Briar series, a why choose beauty and the beast inspired romantasy with four beastly princes ruling over seasonal kindoms and a prince from the below. Broken by Daylight is EASILY my favourite book in the series so far!

Without spoiling anything, book 3 left me with a million questions and concerns that I DESPERATELY needed answers to SO when my NetGalley request for Broken by Daylight got approved, I dropped EVERYTHING to read it immediately and my god I devoured it in a couple days (she’s a BIG book too).

The chokehold this series has on me! I’m literally foaming at the mouth for book 5 and book 4 isn’t even out yet! I will be waiting with bated breath for book 5 crumbs 😭

This series is SPICY and has been throughout all of the books!! My prayers were ANSWERED in Broken by Daylight and the spice was definitely spicing in this one! Please I need you all to read it so we can all be obsessed together! 🌶️🌶️🌶️

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting the authors of this wonderful series at RARE over the weekend and I’ve been promised that my favourite characters are safe BUT I’m not sure how much I trust them 😭 we’ve still got a few books to go and we’re definitely still in the trenches 💀

A beautiful book! Very well written and gripping! I loved it. As soon as it started I was pulled into the pages and couldn’t put it down!

This is hands down my favorite book in the series! With how the previous book ended I was super excited and nervous going into this one. So much happens in this book that surprised and shocked me. The main plot moves along nicely and definitely sets up the storyline for the next book. So many relationships are put through the wringer. I was here for all the angst, tension and heart melting moments. There's more moments that Rosalina gets to spend with each Prince. I treasured all the times the princes were vulnerable with Rosalina and their struggles with finding their inner peace and breaking their curses. Broken By Daylight will keep you captivated until the end. There's lots of love, heartache and a lot of unknown towards the end of the story. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Review will be posted on Instagram @melissafullybooked on September 10.

Elizabeth and Helen have done it again. They are quickly turning into some of my favorite authors. They took my least favorite character and gave him so much depth that it took my breath away. I am in love with the High Prince of Summer now. Anyone who picks this series up will be enchanted quickly.

It's really amazing to see how far the authors writing has come since the release of book 1 in this series.
This book was much more fleshed out, articulate and engaging than the first and others in the series.

Broken by Daylight is the fourth instalment in the Beasts of the Briar series, it's a gripping continuation that enhances on the series’ rich lore and conniving betrayals. This book has many moments of high-stakes action but also has those moments of soul-crushing vulnerability, as characters struggle with both their emotions and relationships.

Whilst this book was much longer than the others in the series, I found myself engaged and on tenterhooks for 80% of the book because of how tense it was. Elizabeth & Helen surely know how to keep us waiting, and that cliff-hanger?!

'I cannot keep away from you any more than the tides can resist the pull of the moon.'

I found myself skimming parts of Ezryn's chapters at times due to the way it deviates from the main storyline and I do wish the whole group had been together for more of the novel; but overall, this was a really engaging continuation of the series and I really need to know how this story ends.

How many more books until a happy ending? It will be a happy ending? Right? right?!

Thankyou to the publisher and authors for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review

Always 5* - Even before I read the book I knew it was be. No doubt!

I always wait impatiently for the new book of Elizabeth & Helen’s fantasy series. I found the first book a week after it was published on kindle and haven’t looked back since. It’s definitely a comfort read series.

The first 3 books hadn’t failed to keep me hooked and continuously theorising and book 4 didn’t disappoint either. Broken by Daylight starts with the history of the vale/below and also summary of the last 3 books. Something very helpful I thought and really set you up for the new story headed towards the Summer Realm. Something unique with this series as the setting is always different so it’s almost as if you’re reading a whole new book outside the main plot.

This book is all adventure. It was rare to see all if not most of the characters in one place so you had many different story lines running parallel with the main plot.

You dive deeper into Rosalina’s history and her mate bonds with 3 of the 4 princes and how their relationships develop was a really nice read whilst they each battle their own internal battles. Something readers would connect with I think.

The hatred and annoyance I have with Wrenley was present throughout!! Elizabeth and Helen have crafted the character perfectly making readers forget to hate the actual villain of the story but instead hate the mate of Dayton through the belief he should be mated with Rosalina.

The book overall was such a good read. The fact there will be 7 makes me very excited! I can’t wait for more from the sister duo!

I've been really excited about this next instalment of the Beasts of the Briars series, and I have a lot of thoughts!
I'll be making some upcoming TikTok videos using my review below. @ramblingreads

🌶️ Spicy scenes

Firstly, I absolutely loved that this book had far more story than romance than the previous one. I feel like there has been such a positive development in the writing and story with each of these books that shouldn't go unnoticed! There may be fewer of them, but the romance scenes were terrific and made sense for the character developments that were coming through in the plot. You can now consider me a formal Caspian apologist!

Something about how these books are written keeps me glued to them until they are finished and leaves me wanting more. I mean, how dare I have work and social engagements that kept me away! I love the multiple POVs in the chapters, and I also love that this series is written in the first person so that you can see the inner workings of the characters' minds and thought processes.

Although, I will say that some characters' plots left me feeling confused because it felt out of character for them to have made the choices they had. I also feel like the pacing in the first half was slow compared to the second. Also, was it predictable? Yes. But does any of this make it a bad read? NO. This series is just a genuinely fun read, every book.

Elizabeth Helen, will you answer for your crimes of that cliffhanger ending because OMG????

I'm super excited to hear everyone's theories about the next book!

Lots of twists and adventures. It was a bit complicated because of all the characters, but once you got your head around that it was a good tead

Where do I begin? Firstly, thank you Magpie and NetGalley for giving me the chance to read this e-ARC.
Then, this book was everything I needed and more. Spoiler, I didn't get enough of this because Elizabeth Helen decided that there was going to be more to the story than this book. THANK GOD, but also, DAMN IT. I need more from these characters and their stories, and their romance.
This book had me glued to my phone (reading the ARC on it), more than TikTok could ever do. All their stories and POVs are intoxicating. I'm not usually someone who enjoys multiple POVs but for these books I will make an exception.
I need more of Caspian, I'm sorry but he's everything! Especially after the last scenes in the book, what was that about!
Please, to anyone attending the events in the UK, let the authors know how much I love these characters and how they can keep writing as many books as they want!

I'm devastated and heartbroken but exited and thrilled about it at the same time. This series is like an addiction and I can't get enough of these characters. My thoughts are a bit scattered right now but I do know that I loved this instalment and can't wait to read the next books as soon as they release. I went through so many emotions reading this, I laughed, I was anxious, disturbed, shocked, and absolutely sobbing and gasping for breath at one point. I don't even know what to do with myself now.

I absolutely adored this book like the rest of the series. Some of my theories were right. But the twists will get you good. Elizabeth and Helen have done an amazing job with this 4th installment I'm the series.
I'm already needing and wanting more.

This book was incredible. The plot was so full of adventure and the Summer Realm was a ton of fun. The slow unraveling of secrets upon secrets (upon secrets upon secrets) is so satisfying and makes the series absolutely magnificent. The spice was on a WHOLE other level - we all need an Ezryn in our lives ASAP. Overall, it's my new favorite book in one of my absolute favorite series and I'm not sure whether I finished it, or it finished me.

Wow. Thank you to Elizabeth Helen and Harper Collins for allowing me to read this advance readers copy.
It’s currently.. 01:11am.. I have just finished the book and I have work in less than 12 hours.

What can I say except I fucking knew it and omg?????? What was that ending?

I had a million thoughts and theories from the last book and this solidified basically all of them but has left me asking more questions.

Is it predictable? Yes. Did I still have a great time reading it? 10000%.

I honestly didn’t mind that I knew what was gonna happen before it happened, because Elizabeth Helen made it so obvious but the characters were clueless and I was screaming at them to use their 1 combined brain cell. And when they did, I celebrated and loved their reactions.

The plot wasn’t what I was expecting, and I did not expect the ending. But I did suspect what the topics of this book would focus on. But again, that made me want to read it. Made me only want to read this (work and stardew valley got in the way, what can I say except I needed an escape from the stress this book was putting me through!).

I loved the new characters that were introduced but missed some of the others who we haven’t seen since last book.
The character development in here was phenomenal. I loved all the new relationships that were bloomed and all the twists and turns to get there.

I am super excited with the direction this series is going in.
And I love how it’s just so fun, sexy and serious it is!

Cannot wait to devour book 5 when it’s out and the characters that will be the main focus.. I can only assume 👀 it will be a long wait I am sure of it.

See you guys in Glasgow! 🫶🏻

5🌟Oh my goodness. Wow. This MAY be my favorite of the series so far. As one of my most anticipated reads this year, I was beyond fortunate to receive an ARC from NetGalley. So thank you NetGalley and thank you Elizabeth Helen for this opportunity.

The adventure continues for Rosie and her mates in Broken by Daylight and what a journey it is. What I absolutely loved about this book was the continued stories and plot line of all relationships. I felt each character got an appropriate amount of time, and maintained their unique personalities. I also appreciated that the storyline moved in an unexpected and kept the story going in a non predictable way. And that ending? Genuinely SO excited for book 5.

Once again, the author duo Elizabeth and Helen, captivated me with their storytelling. I was suspended in a state of "can't put this book down" and "savor the story as long as possible". This may be my favorite book in the series so far; the development of the characters, the twists in the story, the moments that brought me to my metaphorical knees, all culminated to give me one of the worst book hangovers ever. Fortunately I read this arc as an ebook or I would have been tempted to throw the book when I turned that final page.

You root for characters you didn't realize you'd like, you shake your fists at characters you've loved, and while you understand some characters' motives, you can't help but be disappointed in their choices.

An excellent installment in a fantastic series. Now to spend all my time thinking about this divine world as I not so patiently wait for book five.

Broken by Daylight? I'm broken by Elizabeth and Helen!

This is, yet again, an emotional roller coster that will do series damage to your heart. From the first page to the last, you will be saying "it can't get worse than this" before being proven wrong time and time again. There are three more books planned for this series, and I don't know how the characters can go through much more. These characters are learning so much about themselves, and the character growth with the plot and the banter is exquisite. AND THAT PLOT TWIST!!! (Well, the multiple plot twists.)

There have been highs and there have been the lowest of lows, happy moments alongside devastation, yet I always keep coming back for more. Even knowing the tears will come you won't be able to put this book down.

Spice is 6/5!

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins for this opportunity.

***** SPOILERS IN REVIEW *****

Okay this series is seriously my favorite. I'm only on chapter 42 & I'm already screaming at the authors! Why do they enjoy torturing us and why is wrenley such a little b****** & why do I want to smack the sh*t out of Dayton!!!!!!!! Arrffhhhhhh this book pisses me off and makes me so happy at the same time.
I'm devouring it and will come back with another update shortly when I calm down LOL
I don't know how I can handle this for another 3 books. Please don't leave me on a cliff hanger lolli
Okay I'm not a few chapters from the end and..... this is my favorite series of all time. The way they weave all of the stories and POV's together & keep you guessing the whole time is insane. I've screamed, laughed and cried through out this book. I'm so sad to see it end. I can't wait to read the rest already.
Spoiler - rosie has finally found her mates. I was dying for Rosie and Dayton to realize wrenley was a snake! There were so many signs and hints that she wasn't who she said she was. I knew it was the necklace but had no clue sera was wrenley aka Rosie's sister and caspians chosen sister. I'm glad we got more backstory of Rosie's mom & dad too. Who knew Rosie's dad wasn't human!!!!
Also, farron. My sweet farron. Right when Rosie day and farron can finally be together guess what ..... something comes and messes everything up! What is happening to him?
Will the green flame change him? I'm worried for him & im also worried about him bringing you know who back from the dead. Why didn't the blessing want to return to him ?!
Oh man.... What a ride. So many answered questions, but there are so many more now!!
