I love this series, Ive actually got someone else hooked on this series and Im kind of jealous they get to read it all for the first time. This book is one Ive been want for for a long time and the wait has been well worth it!
I loved finally finally getting Jills point of view, we've seen so much from her going up and from other peoples pint of view when it comes to her but finally seeing what actually happened and seeing how she thinks and her story was amazing. Logan is cocky and seemed evil for so long now we see that yes he's cocky but he is Jills perfect hero. I loved this book, it's one of my favorites so far this year and it holds up to the previous 7 books.
I loved Logan and Jills story I never guessed how it would turn out and I was so happy. We start were Jill is still being held captive to protect her and thats where this book takes off. Everyone knows Jill is in danger after Logan marked her so keeping her captive is what everyone thinks is best to protect her but when they finally move her everything falls apart and Logan steps in. I don't want to say too much to spoil it but I have to say this is a must read. SO much happens in this book. New people are introduced who I loved and brought so much to this book both important, funny and emotional.
Logan and Jills love story was perfect, I couldn't have thought of any way to make it better. Then at the end we see a quick blip of the next book???? Maybe, I sure hope so. Im guessing two books have been introduced in this book, again I really hope so. What I can say for sure is readying this book is more than worth it, I hate that Ive finished this book, and I hope this series has a lot more books to come.

I really enjoyed this story! I’m happy we finally got Jill’s book. I think my favorite part of the story though were the kiddos. They stole the show for me lol! I can’t wait to read what’s next.

I suggest improving the variety in your writing to avoid repetitive language and phrases. For example, instead of repeatedly describing a character as “too kind for her own good,” consider using more nuanced expressions to illustrate her kindness or tendency to forgive. Additionally, phrases like “too adorable” might not resonate with all audiences, particularly when describing characters from a heterosexual male perspective.
Consider expanding your vocabulary and incorporating more sophisticated word choices to avoid sounding like high school-level writing. This would enhance the depth of your prose and make the narrative more engaging.
In terms of character development, the portrayal of Madison and other female characters could benefit from greater complexity and realism. Currently, they come across as one-dimensional, and some descriptions may inadvertently lean into harmful stereotypes. As a woman writing female characters, you have an opportunity to reflect the diverse, multifaceted nature of women’s personalities and experiences.
I recommend reading works like Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, which effectively depicts a strong, resilient female protagonist with well-rounded development. This could provide valuable insight into how to craft characters with more depth and agency.
Improving these aspects could help maintain readers’ interest and elevate your storytelling.

I really liked this one. It felt like the author took into account some of the reader feedback about some of the books being too repetitive with certain scenes and wording and there was a lot less of it here. I do wish we had gotten to see Jill do some more badass vampire stuff and gotten some more explanations about what was up with her change but I look forward to the next book!

While better than the last few in this series, it was not even close to the first two. The repetitive words and phrases are frustrating. The use of adverbs in every single dialogue tag got so difficult to read. Does this author use editors? Because they need to tell her that it’s ok to just write “she said” sometimes. It does not have to be, “ she said sadly, as she brought the tissue to her nose while watching him leave.” Sometimes the dialogue tag was an entire paragraph. It’s exhausting.

great story
We have waited so long for Jill’s story. It was well written and I’m glad for the wait. Now if we can just get Joshua’s story

Solid 2/5 for the book. If you have read the others in the series it’s pretty comparable. I got a bit confused by all the side characters backstories at one point. It’s been a while since I read the other books in the series so that could be why. Jill’s background is explained more which is interesting but also hard to imagine Madison didn’t know or wouldn’t have found out.

The one thing that truly annoyed me/made me sad was how it ended with Jill and her dad. The tension and heartbreak that has been building for several books between them, the reunion felt like nothing? One conversation and that’s it?! And not even a truly healing one. Soooo much time was spent on Logan and Jill playing house and almost none was spent on how that relationship heals from this. To me the family moments should have had way more explored and told in the story. I get it’s a romance but also this family has been built up for years and several books, it’s sad it was just left out. I was looking forward to seeing how Jill and her dad reconnect, but I guess we won’t :(

I feel I've waited as long for this book as Logan has for his revenge, lol!
Logan has been lurking about this series for a while. He's been the morally grey frenemy, a former friend of Kale and anti-hero. But has Logan finally slipped so far into his revenge plot that he's gone full villain?
Jill has gone from being a bratty teenager, to a helpful young adult to claimed by a vampire. The last was to mess with her family, especially her adoptive father, Ephraim. But she never thought that to save her they'd actually hand her over to the Sentinels. But she never makes it into their custody, someone has sent an assassin after her!
Poor Jill. She's literally going through the wringer in this book but she does get that well deserved and completely worthy HEA. Logan - he kept me guessing. Just when I thought he'd left his shade revenge plot behind, he dropped breadcrumbs that just maybe he was feeding us a line of poop! However, the absolute scene stealers for me were the rescued shifter kids; Shane, Caleb and Emma are completely adorable and justifiably make all the adults do their bidding. Shout out to Tomas too - greatest babysitter in the world. That man was brave to face glue, glitter and six year olds!
The book takes place over almost a year, with a couple of glimpses into the past. So this was a real slow burn romance. There was a bit of receptiveness with dialogue tags, adverbs, etc. However, I'm a reader who goes mainly by how a book makes me feel rather than how literary high-faluting it is. This book made me shout, swear profusely (at the bad guys and occasionally Logan!), sniffle and laugh. This series involves a family, biological, found and otherwise that know the power of humour and insults to get through the tough stuff. I really hope the next book ensures that we find Tomas amongst other things.

Many years ago now, I first came across Ephraim and Madison in my first ever Pyte book. I loved it and couldn't get enough. Since then I have been faithfully following the family and the series and been waiting to see what would happen with the poor under dog character of Jill.
I was not disappointed as R.L. Mathewson once again delivered a captivating and fast-paced read with Short, Lethal, and Claimed.
It had everything that makes this author's books unique, wit, steamy romance, and compelling characters.
The story revolves around two strong-willed characters who, despite their differences, share undeniable chemistry. True to Mathewson's style, their banter is sharp, hilarious, and layered with unspoken tension. The pacing is quick but doesn’t sacrifice character development of Logan or Jill, and has some heart breaking revelations about Jill's past.
I always knew Jill would be the one to make me cry and she did, from the feelings of lonliness and isolation, and being unwanted to getting so much of her own love and self fulfilment. Wonderful character arc.
For those who enjoy romances with humor, heat, and a touch of sweetness, Short, Lethal, and Claimed is a perfect pick.

I don’t know really what to say. We have been waiting anxiously for Jill and Logan’s story. Logan is a vampire and Jill is human.
Logan has been on Earth for over eight hundred years and been searching for the person responsible for his first loves death. Jill had to spend a year in a Sentinel compound after Logan marked her. She is about to be transferred to a Sentinel island when she is shot. Logan grabs her and takes her to his penthouse where he turns her. But Jill’s transition took longer and there were some noticeable changes about her. Logan doesn’t let Jill’s family know that she’s still alive. He keeps her chained up and she tries her best to escape. Logan can’t stop thinking about Jill until a friends tells him why. He has mated her even though vampires don’t have mates. Will Logan get his revenge and will he finally let Jill in his heart?
If none of this makes sense then read it anyway you will not be disappointed. Steamy. A grumpy vampire. A woman he wants more than anything. Bounties on their heads. Loved it!

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Romance: ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
TROPES: forced proximity, captor/captive, blind to love, found family
If you love a good vampire paranormal romance and haven’t picked up the Pyte/Sentinel series by R.L. Mathewson, you are missing out. This urban fantasy has it all: Pytes, Vampires, Demons, Sentinels, Humans, and sooooooo much more. You might be asking, what exactly is a Pyte? Well, you’ll just have to drive into the series to find out!
While Short, Lethal and Claimed is the most recent release, it’s not necessarily my favorite in the series, but the overall story arc, cast of characters, and hidden world of paranormal creatures sucked me right in and has kept me in its grip ever since. Each book follows a different couple whose stories intertwine throughout. There are lots of strong-willed, sassy female characters and plenty of morally grey, alpha, albeit reluctant at times, heroes. While this series is not complete, it doesn’t leave you with any major cliffhangers, more like a little tease of what’s coming next.

Mixed feelings about this book
I loved the author’s Neighbor from Hell series and was really looking forward to reading this book. I will say that the plot was creative and kept me engaged even though the storyline dragged on. The writing itself, though, was somewhat disappointing and not on par with what I expected from the author. She had grammatical tense issues throughout the book and the repetition of words was mind-boggling. E.g.
- 222 instances of the word “murmured” to describe speaking. In this book, almost everybody “murmured”
- 203 sighs, 43 of them “heartfelt” and 22 “heavy”
- 147 instances of “absent” communication, including absent murmurs, absent mumbles and absent nods
- 109 instances of pressing or kissing foreheads
- 90 instances of lips twitching. Seriously, what is up with that?
- 69 glares
- 33 instances of characters worrying their bottom lip
- 23 instances of eyes narrowing
- 19 uses of the description “small hand” and 17 of “small woman”
The book could’ve been worse but it could have been way better.

Another puzzling story at the beginning but as the story continues the puzzles become clear. Here we have Jill chained with a wide range of movement. Then there are 3 children also chained. And next is Logan who is a vampire who has them imprisoned. He is obsessed with revenge which has been going on for hundreds of years. Jill and the kids are not part of his revenge or so he says. There is something about Jill that he can’t seem to let go. There is a back story but it has not been brought up yet. They are all sort of in hiding with bounties on all their heads. But being in the same vicinity day in and day out can be challenging. What could be the end game? It boggles the mind but you just have to keep reading!

I absolutely love this series, and I have been waiting for Jill's story. I love the addition of Shane, Emma and Caleb. Talk about melting a vampire's heart- that little Emma and Caleb. This is one of my favorites of the whole series. Lots of action happening. I personally love Jill's character. She has evolved so much since finding out more and more about what Jill was hiding and dealing with. I think the narrator did a great job. I know it is most ideal to keep the same voice actor for series, but I think Dani did a wonderful job. I truly think this series would be amazing if it could be done in duet style or with dual narrators. I cannot wait to see what is in store for this series.

Words/phrases that RL Mathewson overuses to the point that my left eye has developed a tic whenever it sees one (every paragraph):
Adorable
Sighed
Grumbled
Murmured absently
Lips twitched (this one is used NINETY times)
Pathetic
Really should
Sadly
Small woman
After so many books, Mathewson's writing is now just a collection of tics and mannerisms, with all characters speaking in the same voice. Reminds me of David & Leigh Eddings' disappointing final books.
If you cut out the repetitive "banter" that pads out every chapter ... Jill would still be boring and without agency and the story would still crawl along at a snail's pace.
Got to be honest, this book was so bad. What happened to this series? It started out so well. I saw on socials that Mathewson has plotted out the next EIGHT books. Christ. Who's going to stick it out that long?

Long time coming… so worth the wait.
I’ve been waiting for a long time for Jill and Logan's story.
I don’t usually read paranormal or sci-fi stories but with every new book in the Pyte/Sentinel series, I love learning more about this world. This is a great addition.
I’ve always felt bad for Jill, knowing there were things in her past we never learned in previous Pyte/Sentinel books. I'm glad we finally got some of it.
And what can be said about Logan, the bad boy vampire you don’t really want hate? Learning more about his backstory as well as his relationship with Kale.
So many answers and yet so many more questions.

I just receive an arc and I'm honestly lucky to receive it.
OMG!!! It so amazing and honestly I can't even put the book down😍. I couldn't get enough that I already reread it again. The book was amazing, Logan and Jill has me rolling like a roller coaster. It has the wit, story, drama and most the all the kisses 💋 🤣.
This maybe my second fav book in this series. I just love Logan and Jill ♥️
Now I'm looking forward to the next book for this series. (I hope that Ashley & Christofer's father will have his own book 😘)

Ai yi yi.
What happened to this series?
The first few in this series ( “Tall, Dark and Lonely” offered a unique spin on vampires “ while “Without Regret” continued the momentum with seemingly opposite mates) were excellent.
Hints of Logan and Jill’s story were hinted at wonderfully. So, when the reader finally gets the former bad girl (Jill) and Logan’s story in their hard, disappointment is not the feeling you want. Too much going on and confusing storylines at times. Also, the constant reference to “pouting” “ sighing heavily “ or being “adorable” gets overused.

The first few in this series ( “Tall, Dark and Lonely” offered a unique spin on vampires “ while “Without Regret” continued the momentum with seemingly opposite mates) were excellent.
Hints of Logan and Jill’s story were hinted at wonderfully. So, when the reader finally gets the former bad girl (Jill) and Logan’s story in their hard, disappointment is not the feeling you want. Too much going on and confusing storylines at times. Also, the constant reference to “pouting” “ sighing heavily “ or being “adorable” gets overused.

What can I say other than I love and eagerly await books by this author. This one was long awaited story of Jill and Logan. Some parts of this story were hard to read, truly heartbreaking, but the courage to overcome harrowing past is the message this book left me with. This was an intense read with many twists and turns that made for an interesting read. Logan has redeemed himself in my eyes, but I believe Jill is stronger and more badass than she is portrayed in this book, and I look forward to seeing that in the next books in this series. I, for one, cannot wait for the next installment…

Finally, we Jill and Logan's storyline, after such a long wait! And, a little confused, how is it possible that she is pregnant with a pyte and why did she turn into a different person physically 🤔
I guessed that Elizabeth was still alive.
And, I guess Joshua is the new bad with a list, that he has started to fulfill. 1st with Indie and the attack on his family's home from the last book. Now, Jill and Logan in this book. I hope they are able to bring him back into the light. Especially now that Jill is back and Logan is no longer the bad guy.
we'll see....

Was so lucky to get an ARC. A M A Z I N G!! I read this so fast because I couldn’t get enough. Our favorite author brought her A game, the wit, the banter, the scheming, absolutely loved it. Twists, turns, tears (her favorite), I was so sad it ended but I cannot freaking wait for the next book. I have no idea what to do with myself right now. Logan and Jill are up there as my fave couple. So enjoyable to read, I’m cheering🥰

It has been a while since I was in this world, and I probably should have reread before diving in, but I was impatient and went right in. Jill's story has been a long time coming, and once she was marked things would get crazy, and boy did they! We are getting fated mates, danger, violence, drama, but for me the addition of the kids was the cherry on top. I give this 4 stars.

Ok what a rollercoaster of emotions. To think I hated Logan throughout this series, only to finally understand him. I didn’t think I would like him getting his happily ever after ,but my goodness did I enjoy it. Reading his back story and getting a glimpse further into this character did wonders for me. I loved him and Jill together. They were perfection. This is a series that is best to be read in order to understand and not get lost. I can’t wait for the next book.

How many heartfelt sighs can characters in her books have? Soooo repetitive. I like the Pyte books but this was so long in the making that I really couldn’t remember the circumstances and events from the prior books a million years ago. They weren’t summed up in the beginning by the author which would have really helped. I am glad we finally got their story but I do think it could have used an editor and been a lot shorter. Just my 2 cents.
