Found: Book 3 of the Crescent Chronicles Paperback – August 2, 2013

I fell in love with this series and with Ms. Ivy's writing after the very first book. To say I adore it and the characters she created would be an understatement. I truly have so much fun reading with each book and I have anxiously been waiting for the release of Found. I couldn't get my hands on it soon enough and after having to read through a few earlier commitments, but the time I was able to pick this up, I was going crazy having to know how it was all going to end and sad that it would be the end.I would say that I read this series solely for the loveable sexiness that is Levi but the truth is, I read it for all the fabulous characters, and fabulous they all are. It is hard to find a tight knit group as loyal, loving, and fun as there are in this series. Every single one of them has gotten better and better as the series and their stories have progressed.They have all become stronger, fiercer and more capable and even more loyal to one another. They all have a bond of friendship that can not be broken and I absolutely love that about this series. I love watching characters not only grow stronger but grow closer to one another as well.It is rare that there isn't a lot of drama when you put a big group of friends together, and while these friends do have their problems, they work through them together and come out better for it and their bonds even stronger. How could an author ever go wrong with friendship and relationships like that?While I didn't start this series and stick with it solely because of Levi, he really is a big part of why I love this series. He is so true and kind and loving to Allie and even though he doesn't always make the right decisions when it comes to her, he does it always out of love for her. He really stepped up in this one and showed just how much he loves her, cares about her and trusts her.Allie too grew as a characters, as a friend and as a princess. She too doesn't always make the wisest choices or even the best ones but again, she does it all because she thinks it is what is right and she does it for those that she loves. I love how accepting she finally is of Levi, his lifestyle and her future life with him. She really brings it as well and I was thrilled with how this ended.I am even more excited that there will be a spin off series. I want more of the Pterons and I wasn't ready to completely say goodbye to all of them. I can't wait for more.

Be forewarned there are spoilers from the previous books in this seriesFound is the final book in the Crescent Chronicles by Alyssa Rose Ivy and it couldn't have ended better! Sure I have a few questions left about some of the secondary characters, but sometimes we don't always get to know their fates, but Found was still a very enjoyable read!Jess is being held hostage by Allie's ex-boyfriend Toby, and Allie wants nothing more than to get her back safe and sound, but Levi isn't willing to risk Allie's life for hers. He says he's working on getting Jess back, but it's taking too long.In the meantime, Allie is meeting more of Levi's family and preparing for her role as queen, but the thing is, Allie isn't feeling to well lately, getting headaches that only Levi can seem to cure. Turns out that the bond they formed when Levi asked Allie to marry him and be his queen, isn't too stable. Basically, the other heirs from the different clans could "steal" her away, if Allie chose to wear their rings and marry them. Hence the reason why Toby believes he has a chance of winning Allie back.I have definitely enjoyed this series! One of the few Paranormal New Adult series I've stumbled onto and I thought it was pretty awesome! Allie has been an enjoyable heroine, thinking things over in a sensible way. True, sometimes things got a touch annoying, like how many times Allie and Levi have to have sex. I get sex is necessary sometimes in books, but as I've mentioned before, it gets annoying when that's all the characters do. Granted that's not completely the case here, but it was pretty close at times.Allie's friends are back as well, Tiffany and Anne. Although, it was their "fates" at the end that we don't get to hear about. They weren't in the story as much as they were last time. I kind of was hoping Jared and Tiffany would get together and Anne and Owen, but it doesn't look likely. Especially since Jared is going to be going after the heroine in the new spinoff series The Empire Chronicles, where a new heroine, Casey takes the page. So sob on that front, but hopefully Casey will be an enjoyable heroine as well.Toby was quite the surprise in this one. He came off as an obsessive douche bag in Focus. He's definitely possessive when it comes to Allie--and there is a hidden reason to that that Allie learns about in this one as well. Why she's such a hot commodity with all the heirs.The romance as I said, was sweet, but got to be a little much at times. There was a good dose of action/suspense towards the end. Lots of tension in that sense because we just didn't know what was going to happen. Allie was making decisions out of left field in order to save Jess and the results were shocking. Overall it was a well paced novel that kept me entertained throughout! There was this constant desire to know what all these secrets were and for the most part, they are explained, if simply.Definitely looking forward to reading Soar later this month, hopefully, as it doesn't seem to be appearing on Amazon. I am curious to see more of Toby, for he appears in that one as well as Jared. Yes, it seems our new heroine is going to find herself in a love triangle, possibly! Of course now it leaves me wondering just who is on that cover with her?!Found was a great ending to the Crescent Chronicles trilogy and I am looking forward to new spinoff trilogy to return to some of the old, favorite characters.Overall Rating 4/5 stars

Oh, wow! This is by far my favorite of the series! I loved, loved this one.All my doubts and grouches about Allie are put to rest. She's no longer whiny or stubborn, but self assured and more grown up in this book.I love the way Allie and Levi are so loving in this book! I'm really just in a general love fest with the whole book. I'll try to list some favorite points about this book without giving away spoilers.1- Allie isn't scared of Levi's Granny, and she holds her own with her. She also isn't laying down to take crap from his dad in this book. I'm admiring her spunk!!!2- Levi is so head over heels for her, and he's so sweet and loving and protective. Now if he can just learn to stop keeping crap from her! Gah!3- Toby... Toby ends up redeeming himself and I began to like him in this book. I'm happy he will be in future spinoffs.4- Allie makes some seemingly stupid decisions that end up being pretty brilliant.5- Jared! swoon. We know from my other reviews that I love Jared. His friendship with Allie cracks me up, and it's just heartwarming for me. I love every second of their banter.6- I love Levi's mom and granny. Love them! I also love Hailey.7- I swear I grinned like... the whole last hour of reading this book. I even giggled a bit at parts!To recap: this book made the whole series. I liked the other ones, but I loved this one. This one goes in my favorites list. <3
