Oh gosh. Finally! We’ve been waiting for Hope, Paxton, and Drake’s story forever. Since they were littles in their first dream world. Up until the last part of the book, I still wasn’t sure how it would end. But I was so happy with it. They may be my favorite couple yet.

I loved Hope's storyline in the Dark Protectors series. The characters were engaging and the story kept me glued to my book, despite having things that needed done.

There were times when I couldn't decide if I should be cheering Drake on or Paxton. I never thought that I would be rooting for Drake, but for a minute, I did. The twist regarding Paxton's heritage was definitely unexpected. I can't wait to see how Paxton and Hope work to improve the Vampire/Kurjan relations.

I will recommend this book and can't wait to read the next installment in the series.

Warrior’s Hope by Rebecca Zanetti was highly anticipated by me. Though each story in the Dark Protectors series can be read alone, the build up to see what would ultimately happen for Hope Kayrs-Kyllwood regarding her ultimate destiny has always been looming over the readers of the series. The fact that her love interest included two roads made the anticipation even more juicy than knowing if they would prevail against their enemy. Paxton has always remained faithfully by her side, though he seems unassuming and not warrior like, while Drake as the leader of the Kurjan nation should be her enemy and yet she sought to change him through her steadfastness and possibly, love. I won’t say much more to give the plot away than that the readers will not be disappointed to see what the ultimate culmination of the series turns out to be. Now you all go grab yourself a copy and enjoy! I received an ARC copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving this review.

Rebecca Zanetti continues to be one of my absolute favorite authors. This world has had a stranglehold on me for years, and I never want it to end.

Hope Kayrs-Kyllwood has lots to live up to. As the only female vampire born it’s tough. Rebecca Zanetti has crafted a story that holds your attention and keeps you on your toes. If you have read the previous books in the series, you know that Hope is “friends” with the Kurjan Drake as well as fellow vampire Paxton. But Paxton is keeping secrets from Hope. Drake wants Hope for several reasons, not for love. Paxton, on the other hand has always loved Hope. Who will she choose, or will she have a choice? Only way to find out is to read the next installment in the series Dark Protectors, Warrior’s Hope.

I found that I love the plot. The twists and turns that we went through are just so much fun. I love the way that you keep wanting more and how you want someone else’s story by the end of each book. Ms Zanetti creates a wonderful world full of characters we want to get to know.

FANTASTIC!! As always, such a great story. I'm sad to finally get to the end of this series but once again, as I thought I knew who and what was going to happen, I was thrown for a loop. It was a great loop but just fantastic writing!

I love the Dark Protector series but this one wasn't my favorite. I still loved reading it and seeing the progress of the story. I will still read the next book in the series.

This book was so bittersweet. I was glad to finally get her story but saying goodbye to this cast of characters makes me sad! I may have to re read the entire series again!

Wow what a story! Reader who love this series will understand when I say we have been waiting to see what happens with Hope and this story provides so much more than expected. A well written, dynamic, thrilling read I can say in words how much I enjoyed this story.

If you have not read this series all I can say is what are you waiting for!

It’s finally here and WOW what a ride. Hopes books was great. I was sad that it was over so fast in the killing of the bad guy but it was cool the OG’s had to step in as well and help. Very excited to see what happens next cause knowing Rebecca she isn’t going to stop here with these books.

Have you ever come across a story that has been hyped about for years and year across multiple books? Because that’s exactly what this book was! And the whole time all the books have been leading up to this epic showdown and I don’t think anyone is ready.

It’s really hard to say what this book is about without it being an absolute spoiler. What I can say is that our heroine is the only female vampire in existence and she is the one destined to save the world. However she has two men vying for her favour (and has for years)- who will stand by her side?

Now I have to say that love triangles would be my least favourite trope BUT you catch on pretty quickly in this book which way it’s going. As much as I loved all the crazy twists and turns this book took me on, for a book I was DYING over for years there is a part of me that wanted more? I know that sound totally selfish but maybe I hyped it up too much in my own head? I tried to keep an open mind as to who she would end up with but….. well can anyone really keep an open mind? Have you read this? What did you think?

A heart stopping page turner that I couldn’t get enough. Overall, a good fantasy/romance/action series. I HIGHLY recommend reading this series in order, starting with “Fated”- the story of Hopes grandparents.

As the only female vampire, Hope Kayrs- Kyllwood believed it was her destiny to bring peace between the Kurjan nation and the vampire/demon nations by destroying Ulric. To do this, she needs the help of Paxton and Drake who is the leader of the Kurjans, The Seven and other family members. This is the final book in this story ARC and it did not disappoint. There were so many twists and turns as well as love and betrayal and a major surprise. I couldn’t put the book down. Rebecca Zanetti did a fantastic job ending this series. Bravo.

Such an amazing close to this incredible series! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this book. I am so thrilled to get this story about an older Hope and her difficult journey. So many characters from past books make an appearance in this thrilling conclusion that only seems fitting to end with Hope. Paxton and Drake are still in her life. You need to read this to find out who she finally chooses.

Going into this, I knew I'd be a wreck. Fifteen previous books were leading me here, to the final showdown. Would all of the characters I grew to know and love survive? Would love really conquer all?

Hope is the only one of her kind. She's a mix of basically every bit of paranormal DNA in existence. She's also a prophet. Her life hasn't really ever been her own and she just tries to make the most of it. On one hand, she believes destiny is telling her to mate with Drake to unite the realms. On the other hand, her heart keeps trying to pummel some sense into her. Paxton is the one for her, the male who truly gets her, her best friend, her strongest ally. Which will she choose: fate or faith?

I loved the way the author revealed the secrets of Paxton. He isn't just an accessory for Hope. He's a warrior, as fierce and determined and as brilliant as our leading lady. Together, they're story gave me the ending I was hoping for. I will admit that some events that took place took me by surprise, some deaths weren't expected, but I am NOT complaining.

Sadness doesn't begin to describe how I feel at the end of this series. It's a bittersweet feeling to know that all of the turmoil these characters faced is now over... I think. That there are no more books, no more adventures, in this incredible world Zanetti created. My only real solace is knowing that this author will deliver something else for me to fall in love with.

I did not know this book was #16 in a series. It kinda threw my off because there were characters that were introduced from the previous books and i felt like i was missing information about the storyline throughout the series. This book was enjoyable and i loved the romance aspect of it. I decided to give it three stars because i felt a bit lost because i didnt read it in order. Overall the plot and storyline were enjoyable and well paced.

I have been waiting to find out who Hope chooses and where her fate lies. It was a little strange, having seen Hope, Paxton & Libby grow up, thinking of them as adults. I had to send those thoughts away, obviously.
It’s time for Hope to choose a destiny with Drake or follow her heart with Paxton. Since she’s been attracted to both of them for a while, I really didn’t know where this story would go. I can’t spoil it but, whoa, was it a crazy wild ride!
I can’t wait to see what happens next! 5 stars!!

Readers and fan of Dark Protectors series are going to love this story. Yes, we all know how it is going to end but I will admit it was one of the best in a long time.
The story moves quickly and while Paxon isn't what people expected in the end he has always loved Hope even when she risked everything for Drake and the Future of the supernatural world.

Kayrs-Kyllwood family comes together, and readers will be happy to see how everyone has grown though out the series. Readers will not be disappointed in Warriors Hope by Rebecca Zanetti
Thank you to Netgalley

Everything has been leading up to this moment, this character. Hope is the key. She's known it all her life, although she's never known exactly what that means. But now she's of age and all things are coming together. Will she figure out her purpose in time? And who will be by her side...Paxton or Drake?

I enjoyed this book so much!!! Things happen, but other things are left open for possible future books. There's fighting and danger and happiness and smexy-times and good vs evil and just so much going on. No spoilers. Just read it and see for yourself.

Many thanks to Kensington Publishing and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor or expectation.
