ARC received for an honest review

It has been a while waiting for Challenge (and I would have waited longer) but it was worth every minute of the wait.

Challenge really is that.. a book full of challenges for our lovelies.

I have been keen to know more about Seth's story since the series started, and wow what a story it is.

Right from the beginning I was drawn in to Seth and Sophia's story. And right from the get go our lovelies were faced with challenge after challenge.

I just wanted, no needed them to get themselves sorted, get thei sh!t together. I could feel it in my bones that they would be wonderful if they could get it right.

Challenge is a very emotional book. There were times when I was brought to tears with what was happening with them. For every two steps forward they were taking one step back.

I wanted to scream at them, I wanted to slap some sense into them. I wanted to throw my kindle across the room with things that were happening... only to have to rush across the room to continue reading.

This pair are fighters - in and out of the dojo. And through it all, this left me with an overwhelming feeling of hope.

I loved that we got more of the Oni fighters, saw more of the relationship between Sophia and her sisters, particular Eden (from Brave). And I loved the banter between the Oni boys Xander, Dane and Seth.

From the moment I started reading Challenge to the very last word, I couldn't but this book down. The story flowed, MS Gayle's word kept me captive in the Oni world and left me wanting more.

Please let us have more.
