Description

I hate. I thought I hated before the letter, before the werewolves, but now I understand that was nothing more than a chip on my shoulder. The urbat took what was mine. They will pay.
Isabelle leads a very normal life...for an emotional syphon. If not for Ethan and his bar, she would have lost her sanity long ago. But everything changes with the crash of her fighting cage and a man who transforms into a wolf. There’s something about Carlos—when he’s not growling at her—that makes her do things she wouldn’t normally do, like sigh and daydream.
Attraction aside, she is faced with the very real evidence that werewolves and urbat exist, and the urbat are after her. And the only way she can keep Ethan safe is to join with the werewolves and Carlos. It’s a race against time to stop a war, fight for love, and find the last Judgement.

Wow, another great book from Melissa Haag!

Awesome werewolves series (Judgement of the Six). A unique take on werewolves I think to understand this, you would need to start at the first book [Hope(less)], but once you do, you'll be hooked. Only 5 books of the ladies from the 6 have been published so far, last of the ladies' book is not out yet from this series yet. (I believe final lady's book estimated for early 2017) Don't miss out on this series. Also don't miss the companion sets from the men's point of view. ("Clay's Hope" is out, coming soon is "Emmett's Treasure") I think Isabelle is my second favorite (Bethi is first favorite) of the 5 ladies so far.

Loved it!

Melissa has a way of sucking you into the stories each and every time! (Dis)Content was one wild ride with lots of twists and turns. I also love how we get to see all the other couples as the story goes on. All the characters are awesome and I love how each mated pair meets. This is by far one of my favorite series! Can't wait for the next one and all the male POVs!
P.S. Give Jim a Mate! Lol

Great book!

The protagonist is awesome, she is fighting her own battles and van take care of herself. She also has a soft side and her potential mate is the perfect match! Can't wait to read about the last of the judgements and who her mate will be!

Kudos - (Dis)content

This book had so much action, adventure, romance, pain and WOW moments going on. I enjoyed how everyone is working together to defeat Blake. Carlos, Isabelle and Ethan’s triangle makes an interesting first half of book and how the story evolves after the heartbreaking twist is fantastic. I loved the Urbat vs Our Grou face off and the BIG REVEAL towards the end of the book. Can’t wait for the Final Judgement!

(Dis)content 💜

Another amazing piece to a magnificent story. It was action packed and pure bada***ness. Isabelle's and Carlos' story had everything, it was an emotional roller coaster. A fantastic story, can't wait to read more from Melissa and her fantastic stories. 💋

A Hispanic Werewolf! Thank you Melissa!

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
However...I also purchased the preordered copy as well because I absolutely love the the Judgement Series. Prior to reading Discontent, I thought Gaby and Clay were my favorite couple, with Clay being in my top five for book boyfriend list. That is no longer the case. I ADORE Carlos and the fact that he is a Hispanic werewolf makes him even yummier to me. Thank you for the Latin flavor Melissa. I loved how he would shake trying to keep control, how he wanted to chase Isabella and trick her into biting him, and that he was able to keep a lid on his emotions even though we all knew how deeply he felt for her. The fact that there was another male in Isabella's life had to be difficult for Carlos, but he respected the boundaries and allowed her to fall for him instead of forcing the issue.
Melissa had me laughing out loud - hard - and then sobbing several chapters later - extremely hard. This book was a mix of emotions and one heck of a roller coaster ride. Bethi was back at it with her sarcasm and insight. My favorite scene had to be when Ethan woke up with Carlos in the same bed asking if he had been recently spooned! I laughed for a good 10 minutes.
If you follow Melissa's work Discontent is a must read! But I honestly feel like you should start with Gabby and Clay's story. Fall in love with them and then you won't be able to stop there.

Well-written, imaginative, and a great read

I was given an ARC of this book for an honest review.
(Dis)Content exemplifies the extraordinary storytelling that I have come to expect from author Melissa Haag. Each of her Judgement characters are so different, yet Haag can understand them all, and bring them to life.
Isabelle’s character isn’t always easy to like. I love the way that Haag develops Isabelle throughout the story, adding layers of her past and present, creating a complex and detailed character.
I can honestly say that there is a part of this book that makes me “ugly cry.” I think that, no matter how many times I read this part, I will still “ugly cry.” I can also say that the tears are worth it because they are born of an episode that (I believe) will help the 6 in the end.
This is the type of emotional rollercoaster I love to ride, masterfully built with twists, turns and vertical drops. This is a 5 star book.

The action and romance speed up

This book ha the daunting challenge of setting up all the action before the final Judgment. Does it succeed? Yes, with some caveats.
This book is action packed. The gang sets into action their plan from (Un)wise. The characters are as vivid as ever (Jim is a constant delight). Isabelle is a fierce addition, strong, powerful, and damaged.
I have two problems with this book. First, Isabelle never truly integrates herself into the group. She's not interested. She doesn't care. Second, her relationship with Carlos seems sudden and a bit forced. They aren't my favorite pair. Other than that, this is a great book. Five stars.

Pulls you in and holds you until the final sentence

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. As an avid fan of this series, my expectations for (Dis)content were very high. Melissa Haag did more than deliver in this newest installment to her Judgement of the Six series. This book is now my favorite in the series. The story pulls you in and the characters hold you until the final sentence in the book. I ran the gamut of emotions with these new characters as if they were alive and I was experiencing their humor, fear, and pain. While (Dis)content tells the story of Isabelle and Carlos, I love how Ms. Haag weaves the many layers of action, characters, and story throughout not only (Dis)content, but the entire series. The writing style is unique and well developed.

Another amazing read from Melissa

A must read for all were lovers!! This is the 5th installment in the JO6 series, you must start with HOPE(LESS). As usual Melissa has utterly captivated us in the JO6 world and left us with more questions and demanding the answers. Well done, I am eagerly awaiting the last JO6 book and hopeful that it comes out soon!!

The action and romance speeds up

This book had the daunting challenge of setting up all the action before the final Judgment. Does it succeed? Yes, with some caveats.
This book is action packed. The gang sets into action their plan from the previous book. The "gang" is as vivid as ever (Jim is a constant delight, and we have a hilarious situation with Gabby and Clay), which is always great. There are a lot of laughs, and tears, to be found in this book. Isabelle is a fierce addition, strong, powerful, and damaged.
Isabelle, the Joy of the Judgments, finds herself and her best (and only) friend since childhood, Ethan, find themselves with the other Judgments running from Urbats. Isabelle does not trust them, but she has no choice. Further compounding the mystery, Carlos does not project his emotions like other people do. He is a peaceful void for Isabelle, and it confuses her. She finds herself drawn to Carlos, even though she loves Ethan.
Ethan was a delightful addition. He was caring, strong, and funny. Compare him to Carlos, who is stoic and... well, stoic, and you can understand Isabelle's dilemma. She should love Ethan, but she can't risk it due to her abilities. She's drawn to Carlos, but doesn't know why. She also refuses any attachments in general, resigned to what she considers to be the inevitable ruination of whoever she is close to. This makes her transition into part of the Scooby Gang difficult. It's unfortunate, because I love how the gang relates, and Isabelle doesn't integrate herself very well.
Here is where my biggest problem with the book is. The Ethan/Isabelle/Carlos situation is painful. It adds what I consider to be unnecessary angst and complications to Isabelle and Carlos' relationship. Isabelle doesn't bother asking about werewolves, or what the bond means, or what her role is. She doesn't care. She wants to protect Ethan and that's it. This stubborn refusal to "buy in" to the werewolf culture makes her relationship with Carlos seem forced. It's a quick transition from "ignoring him because I don't care about anything but Ethan" to "I'll Claim you and fight the Urbats no matter what." It was a big leap in my opinion. I also didn't get Carlos and Isabelle. They seemed to lack the connection and understanding that the other pairs had. Even Clay, who didn't speak for months, really understood who Gabby was as a person, and cared for her. I didn't sense that deep emotional bond from Carlos.
I think I just have very high standards when it comes to Melissa Haag's books. She does a slow build-up to a relationship so well. As the series continues and the action accelerates, that slow burn romance in each Claim becomes unsustainable. Accelerated relationships are necessary for the story to move forward. So, I still give this book 5 stars despite my reservations. I understand the necessity of speeding up the romantic relationships. This book still held my attention and made me feel a spectrum of emotions. I can't wait for the next book.

Amazing!! Love it!

I was given an advanced reader copy in exchanged for an honest review. WOW!!! Melissa Haag has done it again; another amazing, on my toes, adventure in the Judgement of the Six series. In book five, (Dis)Content we meet another one of the six sisters, Isabelle who has the ability of taking emotions away from others and brings those emotion into herself. I really enjoyed reading about another strong female character, one that is realistic about how they overcome adversity in their lives. Carlos has been a minor character in the other books but as Isabelle’s potential mate I enjoyed getting to know him a little. I can’t wait to get inside his head and get to know him better; he is definitely “swoon” worthy. It was wonderful to continue seeing the others from the previous books work together to finish the judgement in this life cycle. So much happens in this book; there is action, love, adventure, heartache, death, exposure, and another amazing love story. Don’t miss this incredible addition to the Judgement of the Six series, by Melissa Haag, (Dis)Content is worth every minute of your time.

(Dis)content-Peace

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This is the 5th book in the highly anticipated Judgement of the Six Series. All of the Judgements have been unique in their personalities and gifts. This continues to be true for Isabelle/Peace. Although, she is like nothing that we have seen so far. In this book Melissa Haag has been able to make us feel more than we have with the other stories and I assume in the 6th book, it will just escalate from here. Isabelle is first located by the Judgements at the bar where book 3, (Un)wise, leaves off. Carlos is her potential mate, but in this story there is too much happening for them to take time and just calmly build their bond. The entire story is fast paced and full of peril. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and turning pages until you run out of them. Definitely another best seller.
