I didn’t get a chance to read this but NetGalley won’t give me the option to put didn’t read/finish like usual - however I will say that I really did want to read this.

Have given it three stars as I have to rate it to take it off the shelf and don’t think it’s fair to give 5 or 1..

I received an free ARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have loved this series throughout. However, when I first started reading, I was trying to remember what had happened in the series. However, there were enough reminders to get me fully involved. Tessa and Dastien have always been my favorite characters and luckily there was a ton of them in this book. But man did my heart break a few times for Dastien. You felt his pain. I love fey but man other than the ones on the Council ooooh I dislike fey in this series. I cannot wait to see what more this author writes. Samantha's story is highly anticipated!

You go Tessa! Can you believe that she planned how to take down the Lunar Queen in a moment's notice...and succeeded? I am woman (werewolf, witch, fey,...) hear me growl! Read all about it!!!

Wasn’t really all that into this one, but I went in comparing it to similar novels of its kind. Nonetheless the author wrote a captivating story that will surely capture the readers attention.

Holy COW! I cried real tears on this one. Poor Dastien. I can't even imagine. I kept thinking he would find Tessa. Great ending (maybe?) to the series. Loved it and can't wait for Samantha!

WOAH - this book was not what I was expecting. It takes you on a very tough journey that goes in all sorts of different directions. Don't worry - we get to a good ending, but it is a HARD ride.

We join Tessa and Dastien. They are *exhausted*, as is to be expected when they've been dealing with non-stop attacks from supernaturals. With no end in sight, it seems that this will be her new life, and it's probably killing her. It's no way to live a life. The change comes in a pretty bad way, but there is a big change that Tessa must trigger. Her visions tell her there is only one chance (kind of like with the Avengers?), so she has to take it. This ends up with her disappearing, and Dastien and her friends determined to find her.

Things... don't go according to plan. That's a massive understatement, but at least nobody dies? There is a lot that has to happen to get to a good conclusion here, and we feel every single second of it. There's ups and downs, lots of magical mysterious stuff, a good return of a lot of characters we've met along the way, and ultimately a huge turning point. I wasn't sure I'd enjoy the second half of this book and was cringing the entire way leading up to it, but I should have trusted the author. We get a solid landing here and it was all worth it in the end.

I've been wanting to read 'Alpha Erased (Alpha Girls Book 9)' by Aileen Erin for months. Literally since the cover was unveiled, it grabbed my attention and the synopsis sounded incredibly tense.

According to the blurb, the story is about Tessa, a twenty-one year old girl who's part witch and part werewolf, but 100% the unofficial leader of a supernatural alliance known as 'The 13.'

The group basically spends their nights fighting off everything bad-- vampires, fey, demons, you name it. Initially, that's where we find them, waking up to a battle. But after the end of what seems to be more of a minor skirmish, she gets a desperate call from her brother, Axel. Then she, her mate Dastien, and a couple others go tearing off to try to save him.

Faced with an impossible choice, Tessa sacrifices herself to save those she loves. Dastien hears her urgent plea for him to save her brother and then their bond goes dark. Absolutely silent. She's gone and there's no sign of her kidnappers.


"I didn't know how or when, but I would find her. If not in this life, then I'd find her in death."


Unable to hear her or feel her along their connection, nearly half of the book focuses on the quest to locate her. Considering a lengthy amount of time passes in the story, this makes sense, but it's also a bit dull to read. Mostly pages filled with self-loathing and self-pity on her mate's part, though it's understandable, along with the process of trying to seek out answers.. it just dragged a bit.

With all the chasing around they had to do, I think it could have been really interesting. The book is definitely padded though. Erin loves to repeat herself. In some cases, I know what she was doing. She was trying to show Dastien obsessing over what he could have done differently and what might yet happen. In other cases, it was literally restating parts of phrases in reverse.

"She'd just disappeared as if she never existed.
But she did."

"The night seemed to go on forever, but it didn't."

"She looked like a stranger staring at me, but she wasn't."

It'd be easy enough to excuse once or twice, but it's a frequently occuring problem for me throughout the book. I found myself gritting my teeth with each additional occurence.

That's not to say the book is bad, it really isn't. Her structure is fine and from a conceptual aspect it's quite interesting.

When Dastien is finally reunited with Tessa, there's no recognition of him in her eyes. He can't feel her magic or her wolf beneath the surface either. It's as if everything about her has been removed or locked away.

Once these two meet up again, near the halfway mark in the novel.. that's where the story begins to evolve. Watching him struggle with how to help her, how to keep her safe.. that kept my focus. The magic involved to change Tessa like that was unique. I enjoyed the creativity Erin showed in making that work.

There were some good quotes too. Some funny moments and supporting characters with lots of potential. Van, one of the fey helping them, and Samantha.. a magic user, were both integral in helping me connect to the story.


"Right. So, maybe don't growl at me. Or at least don't bite me, okay? I've got enough problems to worry about without being all furry and s***."


Admittedly, for a USA Bestselling author on the ninth book in a series, it wasn't exactly what I'd hoped for. I'd like to see her expand on her descriptive writing and get outside her character's heads a bit, but it still moved me. Dastien's suffering was hard to watch at times, but I'm glad I was there to bear witness.

Wow, what a freaking roller coaster of emotions this book took me on. Even as I sit here writing my review I feel like I am mildly in shock and waiting for more to happen even though the book is over. Keep in mind that this is the 9th book in the series which has to be read in order otherwise you will understand probably nothing about the book.


My poor poor heart! I wasn't sure I could make it through this book, every page made my heart feel like it was cracking open inch by inch. I was drowning in feelings, the angst and heartbreak so strong I didn't know how the characters (cough cough Dastien)could take anymore. The one thing that kept me turning the pages and not curled in a sad ball of tears was the fact (or rather the hope) that there would be some kind of happy ending. I need Dastien and Tessa to be together, they are one of my all time favorite werewolf romances. I can say with confidence now that the series gets more serious as it goes and tugs my emotions and I am not sure I will survive any more- and yet I know I will be begging for the next book in this wonderful series. Feel free to just rip out my heart now, it might be kinder. And I know that Tessa was the one who got kidnapped and had her life completely altered, but Dastien was the one I really felt for- who is hurt the most: the one who doesn't know what they lost, or the one who remembers and knows exactly what is gone?


“You need to change.”
I looked down at what I was wearing.
“I should?”
“You’re wearing running shorts and a T-shirt. Who do you think you’re seducing in that?” She waved her hand up and down at me as if I were wearing something severely offensive.
I opened my mouth for a second then looked down again and back at her. “I guess no one since I’m changing now.”
“Good talk.”


This was such a great installment, the huge amount of feels and romance that were wrapped in a convenient book package was surprising. With each book release, I decide that is my new favorite, and this was no exception- Alpha Erased is my new favorite. This is so worth the read- all my fangirling aside! I loved getting to see Samantha again and I really want the next book that comes out in this world to be hers!

4.5 Addictive stars

I have loved every book in this series and this one is probably one of my favourites in this series. We finally have Dastiens POV! I have loved him since the beginning but it was lovely to finally read from his POV as it felt like a whole new side was shown to us.

Aileen Erin did a superb job with this one. She weaved a gripping tale that drew you in from the beginning right up to the end. There is so much going on you can't put it down.

It was lovely seeing the gang all back together. They have come so far since the first book and grown so much. Their bonds of friendship are so strong.

Its sad to see this series end but I am looking forward to seeing what Aileen Erin brings us next.

I've read a book or two in this series before hitting this last one. I would not, by any means, recommend reading this last book as a stand alone. But, on the other hand, I had no trouble diving in with only a little background from just the other books.

To save her brother and the man/werewolf she loves, Tessa gives herself up to whoever it is attacking them. Although not killed, she completely disappears and her bond to her mate is seemingly erased with the rest of her existence. But the pack isn't about to give up, and they do everything in their power to find her. The more they dig, they more intrigue they discover, and when they do find her, her mate is in for a surprise, one that will test their love all over again.

This is a terrific read. Every page either grabs in with plot twists or with grabbing, character depth. While there were a few things which felt a little off, these did not ruin the general read. It's one of those books, which demand to be read in one sitting.

The beginning hooks with Tessa's brave action and horrible disappearance. Not only does this bring tense mystery, but it's hard not to feel for her mate as he does everything in his power to find her, fights to keep his inner wolf at bay, and nearly falls apart. The author makes his pain touch the heart-strings, which makes the moment when he discovers her and the next huge twist happens, that much more potent. The other characters not only gain another appearance, but the reader is given new insight on several of them, which give the entire read a lovely richness.

Of course, there's tension, surprises, and action. The wide array of various beings still stretches further than I would like, but there are so many characters I enjoy, this didn't really hurt the story too much for me either. I was happy to learn that Samantha will be getting her own series because she's a character with tons of potential, and I can't wait to see what surprises her background holds.

This was a wonderful end to the series, and a great way to rekindle the romantic feelies while keeping the entire story fresh, entertaining, and simply fun to read. So, kudos from me.

I received an ARC copy through Netgalley/publisher and enjoyed reading it very much.

Oh my, time is flying by!!  Yesterday was the release date for the latest addition to the Alpha Girl series and I totally forgot to post my review!!

While this series is somewhat outside my normal reading fare, I've really enjoyed the journey.  Erin writes likable characters and engaging scenarios, and I completely blew through this book as fast as I could.  I'm not sure how well this one would have read without the background of the rest of the series - there are a lot of characters to track and various types of creatures (like fey and werewolves and all that other great paranormal stuff) interact in specific ways in Erin's world, so I do recommend starting at the beginning and going from there.  (You can read my reviews of the rest of the series here.)

In this story, Tessa is kidnapped, so we spend a lot of the story reading Dastien's perspective.  I was super stoked to get inside his head for a little bit, because I'm pretty fond of Dastien.  I could have used a smidge less time of him flipping out about Tessa's disappearance (he's easily triggered, geez) as that got a bit repetitive, but overall this book just made me like Dastien more than ever.

This book's strength is also its weakness in a way - it's heavy on action.  That's great for keeping the pages turning and keeping me wondering what was going on next, but now awesome for building relationships.  I get that Dastien and Tessa are forever bound to each other etc. but it would have been lovely to see a little more time of Dastien wooing Tessa back after she was kidnapped.

But if you enjoy paranormal adventures, I definitely recommend this series.  It's great fun and I can't wait to see which direction Erin heads next!

NB: I received this book as an ARC, which does not impact my review.

This review was posted on my blog, https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/2020/05/14/alpha-erased-by-aileen-erin/ as well as Goodreads.

I receive this ARC for an honest review. This is my favorite book in the Alpha Girl series. It is completely different from the other books I’m trying to think of how to write my review without giving anything away. Aileen caught my attention from the start and didn’t let go. I love her writing. This book is about Tessa, Dastien & their friends, but I don’t want to write more than that. because I will give too much away. I can tell you that in this book you will get to know Dastien and better understand him. This is NOT a stand alone book. You will need to read the other books in the series. You will not be disappointed, I did really enjoy this book and highly recommend it.

Aileen Erin outdoes herself with Alpha Erased (Alpha Girl #9). In this story, Tessa is kidnaped while trying to rescue her brother, Axel. Dastien struggles to find Tessa after their mating bond disappears. This story is suitable for young adults.

Alpha Erased was a remarkable story. It was skillfully written and executed. It was exciting throughout. My heart when out to Dastien and his struggles. What Tessa went through was criminal. The characters have grown tremendously since the first book in the series. I appreciated how the inner circle of characters supported each other. They have undergone a lot throughout the years and have become amazing friends with a lot of responsibility. Aileen Erin did a fantastic job depicting Dastien’s and Tessa’s emotions and thoughts.

I suggest reading this story in order of the series. I recommend this series to people who enjoy paranormal fantasies. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

I received a copy of Alpha Erased from the author/publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I am in no way obligated to write a positive review.

Aileen Erin paints a believable picture of supernatural beings living in the modern world. Tessa and Dastien are True Mates. If one goes dies the other one will as well.

Tessa is a hybrid that cam unite natural supernatural enemies making her a target for her enemies. When Tessa receives a frantic phone call from her brother Axel it will change their lives. The call results in Dastien fighting for their love and control of his wolf. Alpha Erased is more Dastien's story than Tessa's. It tore at my heartstrings. It is a rollercoaster of emotions as you see him teeter back and forth between hope and despair. Luckily for him the council is present to provide encouragement and assistance against what becomes an inter dimensional game of hide and seek.

Dear readers, be advised.

I’ve read every one of the ALPHA books, and I ADORE them ALL!!!!

Alpha Erased is a brilliant conclusion to an epic saga. I would be begging for more if it weren’t for the upcoming SAMANTHA TRILOGY, not to mention ON MISSION, both of which I would like someone to put in my hands right now, please and thank you.

In the words of Ronnie Chieng, “I need it NOW!!!”

Okay, look, I’ll try to be patient. I will. But I get just as excited for each new book as I do for entire new seasons of my favorite Netflix series.

I can’t wait to dive into them, and they NEVER disappoint!

In Alpha Erased, Tessa disappears. I honestly think I missed her as much as Dastien did, which is saying a lot. If you care about this couple as much as I do, the first half of this book will be brutal to read, especially amid social distancing and all the people we’re missing right now.

Keep tissues handy.

Dastien’s looking for her everywhere, but nothing’s working. Leads turn into dead ends. Magic is failing him. Even the fey are powerless to help. And he can’t feel their bond.

But take heart! All your favorite characters will show up to lend their support.

It’s like an Avengers movie, with werewolves.

Speaking of which, if you’ve never read the Alpha books, don’t start with this one. You won’t get nearly as much out of it if these characters aren’t already your 20+ best friends.

Start with Becoming Alpha and read them straight through.

Then, while you’re waiting for the SAMANTHA SERIES (omg happy dance!!!), read Off Planet and Off Balance. One of my favorite scenes of any book or movie of all time takes place in Off Balance, by the way. Just saying.

I know, I know, I’m supposed to be talking about this book. But I have a firm policy of never including spoilers in any review, and in the words of Iñigo Montoya, “Let me explain … no, there is too much.”

I refuse to spoil ANYTHING about this BRILLIANT series that you just have to read for yourself. I will only say this:

There were parts where I was so worried, I was ready to throw my Kindle off a mountain. And parts where I was so happy, I cried.

Reading doesn’t get any better than that. #AileenErin #BookLife

This book ships TODAY, May 12!!!

My sincere and humble thanks to the author for letting me read an early review copy on Net Galley.

Thank you Ink Monster and NetGalley for the e-ARC to read and review!

Alpha Erased is an entirely different beast than its predecessors. You will be completely absorbed in all that happens. I couldn't (wouldn't!) put this book down until it was over.

I knew this was going to be painfully bad for Dastien. All I wanted to do was give him hug. Alpha Erased takes the idea of "mates" to a whole new level it's wild! In this book, really come to understand the depths of what it means to be "True Mates." I believe this to be the book's strongest aspect.

I care about Dastien a lot and even more so post-read. The majority of the book is really sad and tense and quiet until they find Tessa. And then things speed up towards a stunning conclusion.

I don't know what to make of Alpha Erased as a whole. It is in no way a bad book; far far from it. When I finished the book I was like "woah, so that happened." It's an HFN story, of which tend to leave me in a dazed book hangover.

But I would still recommend this book and series because wolves and fantastic characters and the devious plots and feelings. Also, just look at that gorgeous cover! So blue and beautiful!

I didn't care for the cuss words. Tessa is tired of facing down demons and may not win one day. There was even talk of a war among the fey. Dastiens cabin is behind the werewolves academy. The vampires appear at the cabin.

I read this book has an ARC provided by Netgalley for an honest review.
I originally read the first two books in this series and since this is one of those series that continues with various relationships and character stories for each book onward, I decided to stop my reading of this series. I just genuinely wasn't interested in the other character's storylines.
When I heard the ninth installment in this series would be about Tessa and Dastien again with Tessa losing her memory, I knew I had to jump back in.

As someone who stopped reading after the second book, you can pick this one up as well. You'll know who some of the characters are but the ones you don't know, you'll figure out through context clues (or it just doesn't matter). The supernatural world and the politics around it are recapped a bit by Aileen to help you catch up as well.

Most of this book is told through Dastien's POV so you get to really get into his head with this one which you've never really been able to do before. We get to see Tessa and experience this insane situation from his perspective. So if you're a Dastien fan, you'll definitely want to read this one!

There were some moments and situations that felt very dragged out in this book and others that were very interesting ideas but were too quickly executed.

I'll tell you what though, this book is definitely full of drama!! Which is my favorite element of any novel!

Overall, it was a standard paranormal romance novel. I thought this would be perfect for fans who have been religiously following the series and love these characters. Definitely one for that crowd!

But unfortunately, this one wasn’t for me. I found it a bit frustrating to read but the version of my reader self who lived for standard paranormal a few years back would have definitely loved this.

I love this series, I am addicted to Aileen’s books and this was no exception. On the edge of my seat throughout the book, nail biting tension, great action, my favourite couple again, always at risk ! I loved the fact we got dual POVs as when done well (as it is here) it adds so much more to the story. Absolutely flipping loved it. I think this may be may favourite in the series now. Haven’t read the series, treat yourself and go back to book one, you won’t regret it, if you know the series then jump in, the old gang is back and they’ll be glad to see you.


Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

DNF didn’t realize this wasn’t book 1. Was very confused and didn’t find the characters very interesting.
