Transfusion Saga #13
Knights of Past
The dust of Battle has settled over the Land.
War cries of victory are Echoed throughout Hell.
And now I can get back to my life of Lego and Star Trek,
With one big difference,
I now have a King to share it with.
But it seems as if Fate had a different idea for me,
And any plans for peace are shattered with the strength of my dreams,
Nightmares of one last foe I must face.
For the Wraith Master still haunts me and the vow I made even more so.
Now I must choose to walk the path of peace,
or the path of a promise once made.
A promise that will lead me to a place unknown,
One not even Lucius can save me from.
Not when he is the enemy.
In this,
Knights of Past.
War cries of victory are Echoed throughout Hell.

Boring
Used to be a big fan but now it's same story rehashed with different characters names , Afterlife retitled Transfusion you can tell when an author has run out of ideas, full of spelling errorsc & just not enjoyable instead of doing 10+ books that are towards the end mainly fillers give us readers a 5/6 book series with decent content

For how much I love this series I didn’t enjoy this book I felt like it dragged as everything was going too well. I do like the Amelia pip Keira and Sophia are on this adventure together and I am looking forward to two chosen ones meeting their kings at the complete wrong time in the next book

Of course when it comes to any of these reads by Stephanie Hudson, I devour them however this took me a bit of time, only because the first half of this book just seemed like a love fest, full of steamy scenes and although I don’t mind that in a story, it was kind of bordering on too much, however the second half was a different story and certainly made up for it by being nail biting stuff.
This read is full of humour, banter and really funny moments, the story and plot are great and as per usual the characters are fabulous. Some angst, and some grammatical errors, nothing too concerning, but the majority of the book was loving and joyful. As I said the love scenes are in abundance which I guess considering the previous books was expected but there is only so much of that I really need to read about. When the mystery kicks in is when the story starts to get interesting and it will not disappoint, not only do we get glimpses of the next instalment but we also see a glimpse of what The Hellbeast King’s story will be, of course can’t wait for that. Fortunately we don’t have to wait long for the next in Amelia’s and Lucius’ story and I can’t wait. This has brought both Transfusion and Afterlife together and I can’t wait to see what happens to all these amazing characters.

I have always loved Lucius and Amelia (Kiera and Draven are dear to my heart, but their daughter is awesome!) and was happy where their story progressed, especially after the ending of the last book, "Queens of Sins".
While the fearsome sex scenes are extremely intense and erotic between these two, and who doesn't love growly Lucius, I sometimes felt lost in the story because it seemed they just kept being thrown in every other scene. I would have preferred more on the communication side. For instance, when Lucius finally got around to discussing his daughter, it was a glossed over paragraph in which the reader never was able to experience his emotions in the telling to his Chosen. There were some heartfelt moments, and it was nice seeing some normalcy. Christmas at home with the gang was fun - great to reconnect with the Afterlife side. I just which there was a bit more balance.
Beyond that...I knew life could not be that easy for them. Sunshine and roses (poppies) only last so long, especially when the Wraiths have not been set free as she vowed. So prophecies were not yet complete.
Another crazy adventure with Kiera, the Aunts, and Amelia is on the line. But, why, oh why, do the women never learn. Why all the secrecy? Why not tell the guys or at least leave a note...directions...something? They decide to sneak out and disappear...for who knows how long? Sure the Kings might have tried to stop them, "lock them in the tower", but I thought it was just said there was reasoning and trust. Where is the trust Amelia? Poor Lucius!
Let's see how Amelia gets out of this escapade. Can't wait for the next installment.

"Wrong place, wrong time."
In "Knights of Past", the previous events are processed so that Amelia and Lucius finally have some time for and with each other.
The "War of Souls" was successfully led to victory by Amelia, but as it turns out, the path of her prophecy is not over yet. Rather, the fate of three "Chosen One" seems to overlap; resulting in Amelia and Keira once again leaving Lucius and Dominic behind to go back in time to find the lost Realm to Hyperborea.
What I really liked here was, that the four girls (Amelia, Keira, Pip and Sofia) are together on this journey.
Also that they all have a pretty bad conscience (Well, except maybe Pip. LOL) as they have to do it in secret, so their men won't stop them. Honestly though, I hope this journey will come to an end soon as Amelia and Lucius really deserve their HEA and as a reader I can't read all those cliffhangers anymore.

OMG
Stephanie Hudson at her best. Oh my Gods, as though the wait for this book hasn’t been tortuous enough, now I will have to wait again for the next one. It has been brilliant catching up with what feels like old friends, and seeing them once again get into a right mess lol. I have of coursed missed the laughter at some of the antics, and definitely missed Pip. What a character 🤣. The story definitely continues, and I wonder what else can happen to our intrepid team of time travellers 😉. That’s all I’m going to say, as I don’t want to spoil it for those who haven’t read it yet.

Stephanie never fails!!!
Ever since I came across Stephanie Hudson's Afterlife saga, I've been hopelessly addicted. This saga of these sexy, brooding alpha Kings finding their Fated Ones and turbulent journeys they each go through in a world full of Angels, Demons, prophecies and healing old wounds while uniting a Supernatural world will have you laughing, crying, yelling and completely satisfied with a shattered soul. I strongly recommend Transfusion and Afterlife to anyone who loves dominant, sexy men and a world that one can actually see as they read you won't regret it!!

This book starts straight after the battle is won and carries on with Lucius visiting Heaven to deliver his daughter's body. Some emotional scenes visited while there, but on his return to Hell and to Amelia, we get quite a lot of the book describing their love and setting the story up for the final chapter. I enjoyed reading about them finding each other again, and to me, it was just as deserved to spend time together without anything hindering their happiness. Of course, this doesn't last, and we find that Amelia's and Keira's destinies are not yet done. Excellent story and pathway into final book. Fab 👍 👌 👏

Waited so long for this
.....next!
Love Stephanie books. I have waited so long for the next transfusion book and read the whole thing in a day because I couldn't put it down. Patience is a virtue I do not possess however so now I find myself now awaiting the continuation of this story and also awaiting the new Hell beast book too. I have re read the entire collection 3 times I love them that much as well as Dravens afterlife and the hidden chapters. I have recommended these books to anyone who is close enough to hear

Great read, and I just love.
This series has been such a whirlwind, and spoiler.... If you don't love the beauty of the storyline and the fates strings then too bad. This book made me cry, it has been such a contrast to see how different mother is from daughter. But as much as I will always love Kiera, Amelia is just an amazing being. I absolutely so excited about the next chapter and also love the gals are back!!!

This Long awaited part 13 was a much different style in terms of story line. Not so much action and adventure but more sex and romance. Not until around 75% into the book did a new adventure begin to unfold. That said it was nice to see Amelia and Lucius have some peace and also lovely to reintroduce some old characters into the story telling.
I would have liked to have seen less typos though which started to annoy me as they seem to be on every other page!!

Unexpected!
This didn't start too promisingly for me with all the heavenly and angelic guff making me very uncomfortable. Not my cup of tea, AT ALL! Luckily it didn't go on for too long and I was able to speed read through it. Then it all got very cosy and domesticated, which was yet another thing to get used to. But then... The fun really started! The 4 Queens' foray into the past looks to be a deliciously complicated affair so I'm heading straight for the next book!

Knights of past transfusion book 13
In this book it finally looks like Mucous and Amelia have finally found their happy ever after , but have they. Amelia a still troubled by the fact she hasn't released the souls of the wraiths but is happy to be back in the mortal realm at least. The McBain belts have their souls back again and the war is won. So what could go wrong, plenty of course this is after all Amelia we were reading about.

I Do
You have done it again and I loved it. Thank you for continuing to keep us on our toes with these two. I loved the surprises but was not quite ready for the sudden departure of "the girls" to take care of trouble. You left us hanging for sure so we are going to be anxious for the next part.

leaves us begging for more
As usual Stephanie has hit it out of the park with this one. I just can’t get enough of the world she has created. Just when we think our favorite Vampire king and his chosen one are getting to get some romantic down time, fate and destine step in again.

Absolutely loved this book and series!
Well I can certainly say I didn’t see that cliffhanger coming! Holy cow! The war is won but the next is on horizon. The madness from Christmas was laughed out loud hilarious! The swoon worthy vows and poppies to make you cry! The boobsketeers are back in action and gods only know what havoc they will create! Can’t wait for the next book!

OMG So Amazing!
I am so in love with Stephanie Hudson's books. The story of Amelia Draven and Lucius Septimus took a new exciting turn. How will Amelia get out of this pickle with her mother, and her two Aunts is beyond me. Can't wait for book #14. Stephanie has such a gift, you will become addicted to all of her books.

Glad for continuation of series
This book appears to have had no editing. The spelling and grammar mistakes were not simply UK English vs US English. It was bad enough in places that the story didn’t make sense and I had to keep rereading the parts. This is my favorite couple and I hope the next book is better. The prior 12 books did not have this issue.

persevere
I want to start by saying that this is my favourite author. This book took me a while to read as for the first 60% it just felt like an epilogue. Please persevere as there are more adventures to come. Only 4 * due to the lengthy epilogue feel at the start. Looking forward to reading the next in the series.

Needed proofread
Was anxiously awaiting this book... and I have been disappointed... I think that maybe she's got too many things going on or her proofreader wasn't paying attention... I can usually skip over many errors... but there are so many this time that it had me rereading sentences for context.

Couldn’t be happier such a great book
Ended right at a good part can’t wait for the next installment. I really liked having a dual POV and tying in other stories in the timeline. Amelia is my absolute favorite and I can’t wait to continue her story!

not long enough
I’m so sad that this book wasn’t very long. It seemed to go fast. It didn’t seem as long as other books in the series. It was still exceptionally good. That is never an issue. I want more!!!!
