Seize Ecstatic (Arcane Mage #5) Engineered By T.S. Snow Distributed As Interactive EBook

a Magical Engineer, they say
Itll be fun, they say,

Yeahnot so much,

From the minute I graduated, my life was turned upside down,
And things only got worse when I helped AMIA in their efforts to take down the resistance,

Now Logan, Theo, and I are at the rebel's mercy,
They want us dead, but were determined to see another day,

All we have to do is find a way out of this hole, fight a bazillion rebels,
And save the day, so I can go back to my men.

No big deal, right

If we live through this, and I get to see my men again, I'll be Ecstatic,
And if I take down my psycho cousin while were at it, thats even better, Good

WARNING! Cliffhanger! This is a lesser cliffhanger, about a/on the trauma scale: no lives in danger, just some big issues.


Charisma, Theo, and Logan have all been captured by the rebels, and without Logan and Theos magic, theyre at a disadvantage,
Meanwhile, the rest of Charismas men, plus the AIMA are searching for them

Lots of stuff happening in this one, and some pretty big revelations too.
Charisma has now cemented her bonds with three of the five men she find irresistible kudos to the author for actually touching on a couple of the things I worried about in this harem, glad theyre actually acknowledged!.


All in all, this was a fast paced, action filled, magical RH urban fantasy tale, with an interesting premise and fun main character, I'm writing one blanket review for the five books I've read of this series because:
, It's been a few weeks since I've read these,
. My opinion of all the books is the same since they fundamentally follow the same pattern,

These books are almost, . . too quirky and lighthearted for me,
The relationship development is slow, the main character is annoying at times, and the overarching plot is so spread out that by the time you've read five books you're still trying to figure out what the point of the series is and when the torture will end.

The series and the characters are interesting initially, sure, Some funny moments and some action, But then it just goes ON AND ON, and I find myself wondering why I'm even continuing to read when every book I finish doesn't seem to actually get me that much closer to the finish line or to getting answers.


I don't think the story is THAT good or interesting that it needs as many books as it already has, let alone the additional books that will be released here.
I notice this is a pattern with some of these paranormal books, where they just keep going and going and releasing books without giving you a strong exposition.
It's just not for me and I'm obviously not a fan,

This is a VERY LOOSE/because I don't care for this series but I don't think it's that bad that it's a/, It's just annoying.bc the FMC had some serious TSTL moments, oh wow!

What a ride!! Theres just something about this series that keeps you absolutely riveted!
I am in awe of this series it keeps getting better and better a total must read for all those geeks and nerds!! This is definitely an improvement from bookwhere I was frustrated enough to consider quitting the series.
This did move a bit slow, and there seemed to be a lot less crazy unpredictable plot movement than the previous books in the series had, especially once Char, Theo amp Logan are rescued.
The overall development of relationships for the RH seem to move slower than I would have thought, with only Bastion, Andres, amp Blaze being solidified into the RH.
I totally get why there will be a book, since it didn't move fast enough for Logan amp Theo to be absorbed into the RH yet.
Or at least to not feel rushed or something, Or for the final plot to be move enough to show the RH being all the main houses of the Mages as it's been hinted at all thru the series.
I would have liked to have more emotional connection between the main characters, I really didn't feel the characters evolved into a "loving" relationship yet, that it's still based more on lust/chemistry at this point, Charisma, Theo and Logan are still prisoners of the rebels, However, Char is a princess who needs no saving, She knows how to protect herself and the people dear to her, so although she gets underestimated for being a magical engineer she has quite a few tricks up in her sleeves.
Moreover, the rest of her harem is slowly coming to terms with the idea of all of them being in a relationship with Char, and I can't wait to see how the relationship develops.
WTH! I really thought this was the last book as I rule I try not to start a series that isn't already finished for probably fairly obvious reasons.
How did I get this one so wrong! It's been on my TBR list for a year and I thought it was a finished series when I added it then, the end of the book said that there is a book already written for Blair witch honestly she should have been the main character from the beginning But I don't see it listed on Goodreads is this book not written yet as the author said I'll have to go investigate on Amazon.


So I get why the author didn't finish the series with this last book because the progress was really slow over the last few books I mean our girl hasn't even haddate with Logan yet not to mention Theo and her haven't even started working on their shit yet.


I'm frustrated with how lazy our characters have been with the whole fighting the resistance thing, I mean so many things probably could have been avoided if they had just followed up on leads instead of just putting it off and not following through with anything.
Then the one time two of the guys get proactive and actually follow a lead they do it without alerting AMIA and get kidnapped, Kind of a useless bunch if you ask me,

The whole series I've heard about how Kickass Charisma is and how she may have low magic but she's one of the best fighters in the agency and is amazing in magical duels as long as she has her MET but I've yet to see her put any of those skills to use in reallife situations instead of just mock duels.
Really Blair should have been the main character I'm not surprised the author plans to or did write a book just for her,

I don't understand the bad guy's motives, not so much the resistance in general but Riccardo and mainly Char's cousin, I don't see the resistance following Riccardo when he stands for everything they are fighting against I don't think a single one of them would follow his orders so easily when they found out who he was and that he was only trying to get himself more power.
I guess being powerhungry is the only motive we have for Riccardo and Char's cousin but that doesn't explain her personal vendetta against Char why does her cousin hate her so much when she already took everything from her We had an opportunity to understand her motives better but all we got was that she's a crazy vain chick that wants to become Queen of the mages.
I'm sorry but I think we could have done better than that it didn't seem believable to me at all,

Okay, the book was not all bad though, I enjoyed this one more than the last two

mainly because the storyline finally started moving and there was a small attempt at some actual romance in this book at least Blaze tried to take Char on a date and Andres took her shopping for it.
I have enjoyed Andres even when he's being ridiculous he brings a lot to the group dynamic with his jokes and I love his enthusiasm to have more brotherhusbands lol.
I really want to find out how Logan will mesh with the Harmen and of course I want to read how controlling he's going to be in the bedroom I'm glad Theo had more of a reason for pushing Char away and not being able to tell her why his excuses and apologies were getting old so that was a good plot twist.
I do like how the author has Char constantly zoning out in her head when someone's trying to talk to her I always found it annoying when reading a book that puts a long inner monologue in the middle of a conversation and you are supposed to believe that our main character had that long thought process in a matter of what should have been seconds, it doesn't seem plausible.
So it's a fun way of writing to make it seem like our main character zones out a lot during these monologs instead of readingparagraphs of inner dialogue while our characters are in the middle of a conversation.
Oh, and I can't forget to mention Grandma Alma she's the best with her knowledge and attitude she does what she pleases and says whatever she likes I'm totally going to be her when I grow up : Crazy char.
. .

Char is so adorable, clumsy, and straight up horny lol, All things are coming together with finding out who is running the resistance and some other secrets that were revealed, Also I freaking love gran, she is awesome! Theo gives me a headache because he's such a creepy stalker but super stubborn, Oh and I was happy we got more of Logan in this book but I still would like to see more of him, With the relationship between char and her guys progressing things have steamed up a little but it still has more to go, This book had quite a bit more action and kept me more interested, Can't wait to read the last and see how this all concludes, Hisstacular!

I'm not a huge reviewer, I have only ever written a few, but I loved this series I felt I must at least give a review.
The series thus far is well written and I enjoyed the character development, Although I think too little time is spent on Logan and I find Theo a bit much with his woe is me attitude, I still very much love all the characters, The story is very captivating and keeps you entrance, I can not wait for the next installment and Blair's spin off, Kudos Miss. Snow Kudos!! Funny and sexy!

Really great continuation of this series! Im glad this wasnt the last in the series so the relationships have more time to really develop without being rushed! Especially For Theo and Logan, their slow burn relationships with Charisma would have felt too rushed otherwise.
The writing is witty and the characters are all amazing, This is a great series and Im excited for the final instalment and spinoff! This book was yet another excellent installment of Charismas chaotic life, So many different things are brought to light in this book from the resistance leader, to her cousins position in the resistance, as well as the bomb dropped by Logan and the unexpected twist with Theo in the end.
This book had me on my toes from the beginning and I had a hard time putting it down, TS Snow has managed to create a series that is funny, sexy and keeps you guessing the whole way through, Im anxious for more. .
