Annihilate (Hive Trilogy) Paperback – September 5, 2016

I love the way these 2 authors work together. I bought this series at BB24 and I'm not disappointed. Charlie is amazing and I loved how she loved everyone. Even her messed up bestie Tessa. She embraced everyone around her and made the best of every situation. The sexy 6 were also a plus. The story wrapped up nicely and no loose ends left behind. Thank you ladies for sharing your stories with us.

What can I say? I loved the book immensely, but I felt things went down a little too fast for my liking. I loved the sexy six (who doesn’t?) and I am in love with Charlie and Jayden’s snarky commentary. I thought that the story was developed very well, but things seemed to go just a little too easy for the group. I was expecting a little more action and speed bumps in their way to distribute the cure. I do like all of the new love interest that are popping up all over the place for a few characters. I really hope that the authors decide to do a spin off, maybe in Sam or Becca’s POV.I truly loved this book, it was a good ending to the Hive Trilogy. However, I am heartbroken Charlie and Jayden stories have come to an end, unless of course the authors do a spin off with them in it. (wink, wink) All I have to say is count me in for any future projects this dynamic duo plan to do. I LOVED the Matefinder series by Leia Stone and can’t wait to read her spin off from that series. And I love the work Jaymin Eve does. I love these two authors and I am down to read whatever either one of them come up with. Please go give this series a shot, I absolutely promise that you will not regret it. I fell hard for this series and its characters, I just hope I get to see them again in the future.I love it, great work ladies.

I loved this series so much..strong characters and emotion provoking situations.. I love a good smut with adult language but I truly hate reading over the GD language..and to each his own but It's just something that really bothers me and turns me off..I hope that it doesn't become so normal that people are super desensitized by it and continueto use it so much it at all. Other than that, it was a really good series. I couldn't put it down, and i truly enjoyed it.

What an amazing team work by Jaymin, and Leia. The Hive Trilogy kept me on my toes, and a emotional high.

I loved this series. Leia Stone has done it again. She has become one of my favorite authors. I only wish there was a 4 book. I would have loved her to get pregnant and to see the others grow together

An amazing read, I found a couple of grammatical errors in the series but nothing that threw off the story too much. The storyline was intense and I love that it didn't go all over the place but stayed interesting. The only thing that could have made this serious better would have been the author detailing the spicy scenes that play out between Ryder and our kickass main character. Loved it and I really enjoyed the ending. I hope they make a follow up novella about the future.

The storyline was reasonable and had some twists. But much of it was ruined by the overabundance of foul, despicable profanity supposedly the normal language-speak of upright, honorable, respectable characters. If I heard people speak that way I would consider them ignorant and lazy in thought...not using more thoughtful words to express an emotion.

This was a fitting conclusion to the series and held all of the roller coaster of emotions and angst. Charlie does a lot of growing up in this last installment, and it looks good on her. Ryder makes choices that could not only destroy him but Charlie as well. Knowing she has to take on the Quorum in order to free not only the Ash but save humanity, she escapes with Ryder and the rest of the sexy six to Alaska, where she teams up with someone who can finally tell her what the difference is between her and the Ash. It is here that they figure out their next move. But along they way, they also discover who they can and cannot trust. Saving the world is not going to be easy, and there are more surprises than anyone is ready for. It will take more than her powerful friends to save the world, but who can they trust?There were so many surprises in this last book. I was blown away by several of them. It was such a wonderful change to see Charlie taking more of an adult outlook than in the previous volumes. The new characters were an exciting addition, and the relationships were fun to watch unfold. It was filled with action and danger, and I was truly surprised by some of the crazy twists and turns the author took with this story. I love it and hope she revisits some of the characters in the future, maybe as novellas so we can have HEA's for all of our favorite characters.

Nicely written but the whole story is boringly predictable. First Charlie, the only girl, gets paired with a gay man for roommate. Dealing with a straight guy probably wasn't possible... Of course he is bad ass and checks all the stereotypes of having an amazing taste for fashion and make up etc. And of course they become besties and he is super reliable. Ok. But then Charlie is included into the super exclusive tight knit group of the main enforcers in a heartbeat with no specific reason. How fortunate that her new best gay friend is dating one of them in a heartbeat too.Bla-bla-bla they are all super best friends and would die for each other after knowing each other for about two weeks... and that's even before she starts dating the main guy.I won't talk about the parents because that's almost depressing.Anyhow the storyline was nice, some good ideas, I just regret all that is so obvious that it made me put the books down more than once.

This was goodCould have gone a bit more adventurous and the sensual scene should have been described better. Still ok

-> multilingual reviewDie Lage spitzt sich zu. Nach der Flucht aus dem Hive muss Charlie sich versteckt halten. In der geheimen Basis in die Sam alle gebracht hat, wartet eine unerwartete Überraschung auf sie, die endlich die Wendung in Sachen Heilung bringen könnte auf die alle gewartet hatten.Endlich wäre es möglich im Kampf gegen die Herrschaft der Vampire die Oberhand zu gewinnen.Doch sie sind der Gruppe bereits auf den Fersen und Charlie muss alles riskieren um die zu retten die sie liebt und um vor allem um am Leben zu bleiben. Denn die Jagd auf das "Einhorn" unter den Ash ist längst eröffnet und sie steht auf der Abschussliste...Auch nach diesem letzten Band der Trilogie muss ich sagen, dass ich wirklich froh bin die Reihe für mich entdeckt zu haben. Das Finale der Geschichte rund um Charlie, die einzige weibliche Ash (Vampir-Hybridin) und ihre Herkunft und Aufgabe hat mich einfach von Anfang an fasziniert. Zum einen natürlich Charlie selbst als eine starke junge Frau mit großer Klappe und noch größerem Herzen. Aber auch alle Nebencharaktere waren wirklich so gut ausgearbeitet, dass ich sie alle vermissen werde. Es war keiner dabei der irgendwie flach gewesen wäre. Sie haben für mich die Story zu einem Highlight gemacht und sind für Charlie zu einer wunderbaren Familie geworden.Auch die ganze Grundgeschichte um den Vampir-Virus, die Hybriden und die Unterdrückung durch die Vampire hat mich fasziniert und war sowohl spannend als auch brutal.Dieser letzte Band hat nochmal ordentlich zugelegt was die Action anging und ihr könnt euch auf einige Schlachten und Scharmützel freuen die im letzten großen Kampf auf euch warten. Aber auch Intrigen und geheime Missionen rund um die geplante Ausrottung der verhassten Vampire und neue unerwartete Verbündete werden euch faszinieren. Und natürlich gibt es auch wieder Humor, dumme Sprüche und ein wenig Liebe. Ebenso wird es aber auch dramatisch und an einer Stelle gegen Ende musste ich doch tatsächlich heulen. Ihr seht also, bei diesem Buch war wieder alles dabei.Es gab tatsächlich auch ein wenig Kitsch, allerdings jetzt nicht sooo viel als das es mich tatsächlich gestört hat ;=)Für mich blieb die Reihe konstant auf einem hohen Niveau und ich bin wirklich auch überrascht, dass selbst bei den wenigen Seiten des letzten Bandes nichts an Spannung verloren ging.Am liebsten hätte ich die sogar im Regal weil ich auch die Cover gut gelungen finde, mal schaun ob sie abschließend noch einziehen darf. Auf jeden Fall gibt es von mir eine Leseempfehlung für die komplette Reihe.Trotz weniger Seiten ebenso nervenaufreibend wie die Vorgänger. Dieser Band bildet einen würdigen Abschluss der dem Leser von Humor über Spannung bis hin zu einer kleinen Prise Kitsch alles bietet was man von einem guten Ende erwartet. Freut euch auf blutige Kämpfe, Tränen und Schmerz. Aber auch auf Humor und Liebe und ein letztes Zusammentreffen toller Charaktere.Ich für meinen Teil bin glücklich über den Verlauf der Geschichte und zähle die Reihe zu einer meiner Liebsten im Vampirgenre. Wer gerne englische Bücher liest sollte sich die Trilogie im Hinterkopf behalten.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -The situation is getting complicated. After the escape from the Hive, Charlie must get in to hidding. In the secret base into which Sam has brought them all, an unexpected surprise awaits them, which could finally bring the twist in healing the vampire virus that everyone had been waiting for.Now it would be possible to win the upper hand in the fight against the rule of the vampires.But they are already following the group and Charlie has to risk everything to save the ones she loves and to stay alive. Because the hunt for the "unicorn" has begun and she is on the wanted list... Even after this last volume of the trilogy I have to say that I am really glad to have discovered the series for myself. The final volume of the story about Charlie, the only female Ash (vampire hybrid) and her origin and mission, fascinated me from the start. On the one hand, of course, Charlie herself as a strong young woman with a big mouth and a much bigger heart. But also all the other characters were really worked out so well that I will miss them all. There was no one who would have been unneeded. They have made the story a highlight for me and have become a wonderful family for Charlie.Also the whole basic story around the vampire virus, the hybrids and the oppression by the vampires fascinated me and was both exciting and brutal.This last book once again has alot of action waiting for you and you can look forward to some battles until the the last big fight. But also intrigues and secret missions around the planned extermination of the hated vampires and new unexpected allies will fascinate you. And, of course, there is also humor, they will talk big as in the last books and there is a little love in there. But it is also dramatic, and in one scene towards the end I had to cry. So you see, you'll get everything you want.There was actually also a bit of kitsch, but not sooo much as it actually bothered me; =)For me, the series remained constant at a high level and I am really surprised that even the few pages of the last book did not lose any tension.I would like to have them as hardcopy because I also like the covers. They are well made, maybe they can finally move into my shelf. In any case, there is a reading recommendation for the complete series.Despite fewer sides, it is as nerve-racking as the previous books. This book is a worthy ending for the series. There is humor, suspense an a small pinch of kitsch, everything that one expects from a good ending. Rejoice in bloody struggles, tears and pain. But also on humor and love and a final meeting of great characters.For my part, I am happy about the progression of the story and this series is one of my dearest in the vampire genreSchaut bei Mietze's Bücherecke vorbei

I loved this series so much that I read all three books over the space of 4 days. I loved the characters and plot progression. I wasn't really ready to say goodbye to all of the enforcers yet but it was a satisfying conclusion regardless. I am so glad I discovered club ya on fb, I have been reading my way through the indie authors there and I haven't hit a bad one yet! So much talent in the indie pool, it's fantastic :)

So Jaymin Eve and Leia Stone have done it again and written another book that has blown me outta the water. This is the perfectly written ending to the series and I loved it so much I didn't want it to end.This book contained the tension that has you on the edge of your sofa cos you don't know where it's gonna go next. It has the laugh out loud comments and ridiculously funny one liners that you've come to expect from Charlie. It has the heart warming feels of the best BAFF ever (who I so want to buy clothes for me). It has the hotness of the Sexy Six and finally it has Ryder........drool, need I say more except that we all need a man like him in our life?I've loved the world that Jaymin & Leia have created here and the story they've spun. It has kept me enthralled through the series and although I am sad that it's over, they've managed to create an ending that has left me satisfied. I hope that this is not the end of them writing together and I hope that we may get to see some more of the rest of the Sexy Six some point in the future. As to Charlie and Ryder, well I can't imagine Charlie not getting herself into any more trouble and I'm sure Ryder will be right on her ass growling and fighting his way through any one who tries to harm her, the perfect pair.
