Publisher's summary

THE FINAL BOOK IN THE KNIGHTS OF ECHOES COVE SERIES!

The thing about making a deal with the devil, is you never see the fine print.

I thought this was the best way to save them. The four men that keep me grounded, rooted to the core of my history, my legacy, and I'll save them no matter the cost.

Truths uncovered lead to more secrets, more lies, more pain, and the tangled web of Echoes Cove has me trapped tighter in its bindings.

The monsters of this world have no idea how far I'm willing to go. How hard I'm willing to fight.

One thing is for sure, they have all underestimated me. Soon they will see my truth, and I'll be the one with the crown.

fantastic narration defines this book!

🅰🆄🅳🅸🅾🅱🅾🅾🅺 🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆

The narration in this book brings the 3 star rating to a 4.
Heather Firth, Gideon Frost, David Black, Gregory Salinas, and Michael Joss give this book life. Their narration of each character was nothing short of perfect!

I had a hard time with parts of this book and the lack of plot. There were times when more detail would've elevated this book for me. However, it is a typical NA read and the over-the-top twists and turns are what you can expect in this series.

Overall if you enjoy this genre and a why choose trope set in a corrupt wealthy town with a power hungry secret society you will definitely want this 4 book series!

An amazing ending!

Wow this finale of this 4 book series packed a punch! We get all our answers, some shockers, some heart stopping moments, some teary-eyed reunions/final walls breaking down. Everything you could want in an ending. I think this and book 2 were my favorites of the series!

We see how everyone handles one of their own almost not making it, based on the cliffy from book 3, we have to see Vee’s internal struggle with her secret keeping so she can protect her guys, we get more insight into Indy and her guy troubles haha and how that is all working out (I still would love their series if she doesnt have one yet!!), and I was shocked by the evil cousin actually turning out to not be so bad. I loved getting to know more of the side characters in the training portions, as Vee was trying to become her legacy/the agreement with Lincoln’s dad. I was gutted when things turned out with her mom and how she ended up where did. Her behavior and attitude toward Vee is so unjust but at least she won’t be in her life to bring her down anymore. What Vee’s dad had to do was so tough, the video and letter explain things but it doesnt excuse his choices. I am glad he helped protect her and had people in his corner that WERE REVEALED AT THE END AND. WAS SHOOKETH hahaha. I won’t spoil it but I know one guy wasnt the secret baddie but it wasnt until towards the end I thought...could he be that?!?!? I loved the reveal and the shock and awe haha. I also thought one of the other side characters was bad but it was done well his involvement and his secrets in book 3 make more sense now,

I wanted to give Vee a hug so bad, how she confided in Smithy, how he was an adorable grandpa for her and the guys. He is definitely the unsung hero in this series! I was happy he found love again after everything, everyone deserves that! The epilogue was great, based on the big confrontation at the end you weren’t sure if anyone was seriously hurt but I was glad everyone made it out. After almost each of the guys being hurt beyond repair, they needed to all be able live their lives. We get a glimpse as to the fallout and how they were there for each other. Lincoln had it the roughest but they pulled him through. I did love seeing more vulnerable moments in this one. From all the guys actually. Usually we just get it from East bu Finley and Mav had some too. I loved their protectiveness and sometimes their golden retriever personalities shown through haha. The steam was fabulous in this one, seeing more of Finley’s kinks heheh and seeing group activities was yummy. I love smutty scenes, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes I enjoy the cuter moments more and this one surprisingly had them despite everything. I do wish we find out more about one of the horrible side characters (who tried to break up Vee and Linc, but we don’t hear what happened to her after everything).

Narration was amazing, the emotions jumped through the speakers while I was listening. I could feel the fear, heartache, frustration, all consuming love. The guys did a great job with all their parts (I still am not a huge fan of Finley’s narrator but he still did a good job with his parts, esp when he allowed Vee to touch him and letting go of some control). I bawled my eyes out when the guys thought something terrible had happened. I won’t give it away but their reactions and other character reactions were so heartfelt. I could see it in my head their reactions and how they handled when the big secret was revealed. Brilliant job by everyone, narrators and author alike. I would recommend this series, as long as the reader knows there are some tough topics and scenes. I feel like this is probably the darkest series of this author’s I have listened to as of now.

5/5 for story and narration!!

Perfect ending to series

What a great ending to this series! I was thrilled with everything that happened. This kept me glued to my earbuds. I highly recommend reading the previous book since they do carryover like one continuous story. The characters are only high school age which is really hard to remember while reading. College age prob would have been a better age since they are defying parents and open to newer relationships but it works this way too. I listened to this on audio. This has a full cast for the large quantity of characters. Heather Filth, Michael Joss, David Black, Gideon Frost and Gregory Salinas all do a wonderful job.

Dark RH Romance

Forever Royal by Lily Wildhart is a dark high school romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Heather Firth, Michael Joss, David Black, Gideon Frost, and Gregory Salinas. This is the fourth and final book in The Knights Of Echoes Cove series.

I was pulled in from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see how it was all going to end. Lily did a great job wrapping up this series. I really enjoyed getting Octavia, Finley, Easton, Maverick, Lincoln, and Stones points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

Heather, Michael, David, Gideon, and Gregory did a great job on the narration. They all really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this series if you like dark romances, enemies-to-lovers romances, bully romances, or romantic suspense.

Book 4 - The Knights of Echoes Cove

This is book 4 and the final in Wildhart's The Knights of Echoes Cove series. A well written, dark romance read/ listen that is captivating, thrilling, suspenseful, emotional and steamy. This book has it all and we get the conclusion and resolution we've been wanting and waiting for since book 1 in this series. The talents of all the narrators we have on this audio is amazing and brings all the characters to life. I love the dynamic Octavia has with all her guys, Smithy, Indy and others. I also love the differences in Octavia's guys - which make them each so unique and love how Wildhart delivers their characters. The twists and turns in the storyline keep you guessing until the end and the conclusion was everything I could have wanted. A great listen and a great series!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.

Love this world.

I’ve been addicted to this series from the start and I loved the flashbacks to before that in this installment—we got to see a lot more of the world and of course the history. If you’ve been hooked on this series like me, you’ll definitely want this installment!


Rich kids / rockstar’s daughter.
Secret society.
So many secrets.
Lowkey edging.
Bl00d play.
F0rced marriage.
Politics / political scandal and manipulation.
Group scenes.
Action, danger.


Overall:
A fun, dark plot riddled with secrets and mystery, with loads of spicy scenes worked in. They are teenagers, so if that’s not your jam, maybe look away. You’ll forget they’re teens at times though, as they’ve all had to grow up fast and don’t actually get to be kids.

Fans of Amo Jones and Sheridan Anne should enjoy this.

4 stars.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

🎧 Audio:
This is a full-cast production with a brilliant cast and perfect sound quality. ALL the stars. 🦩

A great conclusion

I couldn't wait for this conclusion and I wasn't disappointed. Finally we get the answers to all the twists and turns. The storyline and characters grew on me through each book. I look forward to relistening from start to finish in the future.

This cast of narrators are excellent! The brought this audiobook to life with emotional performances that had it rolling like a movie in my head. Perfection!
