Okay, so I just finished Kade by Tijan, and OMG, you guys HAVE to read this book! Seriously, I was hooked from the first page. It's got that perfect mix of romance and suspense that I absolutely love. Think hot guys, family drama, and a plot that keeps you guessing the whole time.
The main characters? Totally obsessed. Their chemistry is off the charts, and you'll be rooting for them to get together from the start. Plus, the Kade family? Total goals. They're so loyal and protective of each other, it's heartwarming.
Tijan did an amazing job with this one. The story is full of twists and turns, so you're never quite sure what's going to happen next. I literally couldn't put it down! If you're looking for a book that's got it all – romance, suspense, and a whole lot of heart – then Kade is definitely for you. Trust me, you won't regret it!

Holy freaken wow this audiobook was something else! I Loved the narrators Bloom is one of my Favorites. But wow I haven't read or listened to any book in this series prior to this Netgalley offer and boy I am sure missing out! I seriously think I am gonna have to do a deep dive into the others and Listen to them as well. Tijan became a favorite author of mine recently, and can't wait to start listening to more.

The Kane's are sure a interesting Family! Maddy, is 😱🫣😬 I mean really a So******* I won't say the whole word just in case 😉 Yeah I definitely need to read this whole series!

I felt the audio was very all over the place and hard to follow with all the different characters and the plot jumping from one to another. at 60 something chapters this possibly could have been broken down into two novels which may have made it easier to follow

Mason, Sam and their family have returned to Fallen Crest however the surprises keep coming. Mason and his brother Logan unexpectedly find themselves leading Kade Enterprises after a revelation that no one saw coming. This send them on an investigation to find out who is behind it and why so that they can protect their families before it is too late.

Mason is as protective as ever when it comes to his family while Sam is feisty as she will do anything for those she cares about, and their love is stronger than ever. Through this story we were able to get some insight into their daughter Maddy and her relationship with Max which has us wanting to see how that will unfold in the future.

This story featured family, a few surprises and some suspense and it was a great opportunity to catch up with the other characters we know and love as well as meet some new ones who appear quite intriguing. The narrators gave us a deeper understanding when it comes to the actions of the characters and their performance was flawless.

This series is so special to me. I started reading it when I was 17-18, and I'm 24 now.

Unfortunately for the first half of the book I was kind of bored but the end really brought it back giving me the excitement I remember reading the first books in the series.

All in all I was so happy to see the stories of the Fallen Crest peeps continue!

Thank you @NetGalley and @Dreamscape_Media for the ARC. Kade is book 8 in the Fallen Crest Series. This book is full of shocking discoveries when Mason Kade's father dies and his family is still adjusting to life back in their childhood town. It also centers on Mason Kade's daughter Maddy who may or may not be a sweet psychopath. A fun read. I am a fan of this series.

Kade is the 9th book in the Fallen Crest series. This book is told from multiple points of view by Mason, Sam, and their daughter Maddy.

I would suggest reading this series in order, as we meet Mason and Sam in the previous books. Now, Mason, Sam, and their children are back in Fallen Crest.

We get to see how they are handling parenthood and dealing with their defiant daughter Maddy. There is stuff going on in Maddy’s life, as well as things going on in Mason and Sam’s life.

There were so many twists and turns and I loved every minute of it. I’m hoping we get to see what happens next with the younger generation.

Audiobook Review

Unfortunately I made the mistake of listening to this book before reading/listening the previous ones in the series. It just does not work. There’s too many characters to understand and keep track of, relationship (in)balances that are most likely only understood if the previous books have been read. The plot is difficult to follow without knowing where it stems from.
I feel like my score may not be a true validation to the quality of the book. I will read/listen to the previous books in the series and the other connected series to get a full understanding of the Fallen Crest world and give this book a true score and review at a later date.
It’s also difficult to review the narrators work when what they were narrating made no sense to me.

Well, I didn’t think Fallen Crest could get any better! But it did! This story is told in dual POV - Mason (yum yum), and his and Samantha’s daughter - Maddy, and I loved her! She may look like Samantha, but she’s definitely all Mason inside. All the gang it seems are back together for one last hoorah, with lots of additional cameos (including one of my most favourite Mafia bosses), in and amongst. From the very first chapter I was swept away to Fallen Crest and all the drama that ensues. After retiring from the NFL Mason and family are called to Fallen Crest to sort out a ‘ situation’, herein is the start of the story. Mason and Logan must find out who is trying to take over their company. Lots of action and a whole host of drama for ALL the family, and of course the little added plot twists that Tijan likes to throw into the mix. Narration from CJ Bloom (as Samantha), she’s awesome, Ruby Allan was perfect as Kade (Maddy/Maddie).
Although this can definitely be read as a standalone, the most enjoyment and understanding will be had if you’ve read the previous Fallen Crest books. I received a complementary copy of this audiobook from the publisher via NetGalley.

This is the first book of this series that I have read and after reading this book quickly discovered that it was a mistake. You cannot read this book without the previous books in the series. The books are interconnected making it hard to follow what is going on in this book without reading the other books of this series. There are a lot of characters to keep track of along with a lot of story lines to follow making it confusing and not a pleasant or enjoyable read.

Audio review Narrated by: Narrated by Tor Thom; C.J. Bloom; Ruby Allan For those who love the Fallen Crest world, this is a must read. We get All our favorite characters and intros to new ones. The family is back at it with all the shenanigans. The emotional angst along with laughter takes on a fast paced ride that only the Kades and maneuver. The story starts fast and never lets up. Twists and surprises come fast and furious. We thought Mason had shed his dark side. It was just laying dormant until needed. When his family was threatened the dark Mason came back with full force. He is not alone, the usual suspects show up as needed. This story wraps up old school guys and introduces us to the next generation. They will definitely give us the same energy. Mason and Sam’s daughter is the key. I can’t exit to read what’s next.

I'm going to preface my review by telling you that this is my first time reading Tijan so I have not read the first 8 books in this series.

I had a hard time getting into this story. There was a lot in this book that confused me and I felt that there were a lot of story lines happening and I didn't quite understand why they were happening or if it even related to something from one of the previous books in the series. Overall, even though I did make it though to the end of the book, I was disappointed because I see that so many people really like this author.

Mason and his brother Logan, witness their dad taking his own life. Mason spends the rest of the book trying to determine who was behind his dad's death. Along the way, he meets a Canadian mob boss, a nefarious MC biker gang, and other characters of ill repute. He's a recently retired NFL player, and yet he seamlessly fit right into every situation and confronts them all, and even manages to befriend the MC.

Mason and Samantha's youngest daughter is a psychic. I had hoped there would have been a bigger story arc around that. Their teenage daughter is a bully and in love with her best friend who's very much the opposite of her rule-breaking ways. I didn't see the attraction and yet it was there.

Maybe it's because I didn't read the first 8 books in this series, and I'm missing too much of the backstory for theses characters, so I am going to suggest that you do not treat this book as a standalone.

I listened to an audiobook of this book and I am already familiar with CJ Bloom and Tor Thom and I'm big fans of their work. They did not disappoint here. I am new to Ruby Allan. I thought all 3 voice actors did a great job with this story.

Thank you Tijan, Dreamscape Media and Netgalley for this ALC. The above is my own and personal opinion.

I have read this entire series and I really liked the series. This final installment, Kade, was good too. I just felt like I was fresh to the series. It's been a while. But other than that, this book was hot! Their chemistry was off the charts. But Maddy? I don't know about that girl.


Many thanks to Net Galley and Dreamscape Media for an audio ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Not me jumping into the last book of a series like I know what’s going on....oops.

That said, I was already familiar with a lot of the characters, and I couldn’t wait to see what they were up to and how everything wrapped up. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint! This book is thick, and I savored every single chapter.

Told in multiple POVs, we get inside the heads of Sam, Mason, and Maddy, which I loved. Speaking of Maddy, I adore her so much that I need a spin-off ASAP. She’s chaotic, but she loves fiercely, and I ate up every scene she was in. Also, Logan?! His growth had me emotional. That first chapter alone nearly wrecked me. I was hooked. The mystery was intense, the shifting perspectives kept things fresh, and now I have to go back and read the rest of the series. The narrators, Tor Thom, C.J. Bloom, and Ruby Allan did a fantastic job bringing this story to life. I really enjoyed their tones and inflections throughout. The male narrator for Mason’s voice was spot on, some of the female voices were a bit high pitched, which had me giggling in a few scenes. But Mason’s voice? Perfection.
If you love touch her and d!e energy, fiercely protective parents, found family, and romance, this series is for you!

3.75 stars
This was my first Tijan book in the Fallen Crest series, I didn't realize it was part of a series, so I feel like my review won't portray an accurate account of the book as I've yet to read any others in this series. Seeing as I was not familiar with any of the characters in the series it was a bit confusing at times. I will definitely give this another shot once I go back and read the rest of the books before this one. I've enjoyed other Tijan books and this one has the potential to be just as enjoyable as the rest! Other than not really knowing the characters, I did enjoy the story as a whole and thought the narrators did a great job! I would definitely recommend making sure you read the rest of the books before going into this one so you're not also confused!

If you’re a fan of Tijan this is a MUST READ! There are so many of her characters weaves into this story that it has me even more in awe and in love with her writing.

I have always loved Tijan’s storytelling but the way she brought so many worlds together….stunning! She is always a one click author for me and with this book that is not going to change. I will not lie I have not read ALL of Fallen Crest but the way this story is written I was able to still love and enjoy this book. I didn’t feel lost at all, in fact she did a good job fleshing things out that I felt like I was right there!

I listened to the audio and it was beautifully done. I enjoyed the narrators and didn’t find myself irritated by any of the voices. I can be picky with audio but this was very well recorded.

This was amazing!! I love Mason and Samantha so much and to get a book when they are adults with kids is perfection. Not to mention all my favorite side-characters having a huge part in this book. Nirvana! And Maddie! Please, please, please tell me she will get her own book with her adventures in college. I need it!!

I did not realize there is a bunch of books before this one, so I quickly read summaries of them to get somewhat caught up and understand. Even without having a full understanding of the characters before this book it can standalone, there are bits of backstory to fill in or just to remind the reader. I was enthralled into the suspense and romance and now I need to start the series from the beginning because I am obsessed with Mason and Logan.

I was luck to get an ALC for this title and for someone who has read her books and listen to the audios and it start with tragedy and years later with Mason and Sam and logan and Taylor. The secret their father kept and the twist. Then past chatacters are mention. Nate so loving it.
we get to know Maddy Mason and Sam daughter and her friends so its the nextgeneration for Fallen Crest .Narrated by Tor Thom; C.J. Bloom; Ruby Allan

DNF at 20%. I haven't read the other books in this series and may try to read it in order to see if I will enjoy it.

There was just too many characters for me to keep track on audio.

Thank you @dreamscape_media for the audiobook.
