Ancient Legends #6
Shadow Blood
Only a few months ago, Amber Reed would have called herself an ordinary girl in an ordinary world…until she moves to Scotland and is pushed into a world she never knew existed by the sexy and daring McAllister brothers, unable to withstand its perils.
Aidan McAllister, the irresistible leader of the Morganefaire brethren, has what he always wanted: the girl of his dreams. His love for Amber is getting stronger, but for all his wants and needs, there’s a price to pay.
As a mystery draws them deeper into the heart of an intricate organization ruled by shifting allegiances, Amber realizes she’ll have to choose between her one true love and doing the one thing she swore she’d never do: break the rules by taking someone’s life.

I really enjoyed this series...though I am extremely upset as it appears I'll never know what the conclusion will be since the next book was supposed to be published in 2013. Had I known that I wouldn't know how this ends I would not have started it in the first place. This is beyond frustrating.

When I first started this series last spring, I had no idea what it was going to be like. With each passing book in the series I still don't know what to expect. They are all so funny and full of life, and yet each one is different and adds more and more to the already intricate story. I regret not being able to read them closer together though, because the books always reference past scenes and scenarios from past books, and I always think..oh yea, that did happen! That was great!. So I feel I lose some of the effect of the other books, which is really unfortunate because this is a great series. It would be even better had they all been out at the same time. I can't wait to see what happens in the next novel in the series, and hopefully we get more of the always hilarious Amber and Aidan, and hopefully more time with them together. I don't know if that will happen because you literally just never know who to trust....

What happened to the "Prophecy of Morganefaire"? It's really irritating to read a "complete series" that is NOT complete.

Wishing the author wasn't MIA... there is no seventh book (estimated release date was in 2013).

See more reviews on my blog! http://sparetimebookblog.blogspot.com/
I was super happy to get a copy of this one from the awesome author! I have a huge soft spot for this series. It is by far one of my favorites. It's always nice when you can rely on a series to always be good! Shadow Blood picked up right where Forever and Beyond left off. Amber is stuck in Morganefaire surrounded by death and lies. Amber has so many questions and virtually no answers. Turns out more was taken after the break in. Which leads to more questions. What do they need the ring for? Who are "they" anyway?? A lot of bad things have happened and they finally find out who is behind it! I was kind of shocked actually at the ending. Didn't see that coming. Amber is pulled in so many directions! Who is telling the truth? Who can be trusted? Is it Seth, Blake, Logan and the list just keeps on going. She is pretty much left with Julie. I felt bad for Amber, she had so much on her plate. Especially after Aidan is wounded. She is kind of left with Julie to figure out what is going on and how to save Aidan. So much craziness all brought together in the last few chapters. Jayde Scott never ceases to amaze me with her ability to bring everything together at the end.
I love Aidan. I'm not sure if I have stressed that enough in my reviews for this series! So in case you missed that I figured I'd say it again. When he is wounded I was seriously freaking out. I was like NOOO! I said it out loud. I frequently get very into my reading and yell random words at books. Is Amber willing to do anything to save his life? I'm glad Kieran was in this one a little more. I like his story and am interested to see where it goes. Especially when now that we know Patricia's role in the prophecy. I have a feeling things are going to get dicey for those two.
One thing that really surprised me was Julie. I was annoyed by her in Forever and Beyond. In Shadow Blood I really enjoyed her! She has changed a lot. I found her incredibly helpful and grown up.
I read Shadow Blood in 2 days. I can't wait for The Prophecy of Morganefaire. The preview at the end of Shadow Blood left me craving more!! I'm not sure when it comes out but, when I know I will update this post.

Book Review- Shadow Shame by Jayde Scott
In book six Amber, Aidan and Kieran are still in Morganefaire. The council is blaming them for the deaths of more girls. Amber isn’t sure who is behind it so she and Julie, her ghost companion, are investigating. Amber believes Maya is possessed by Rebecca so she follows her. Amber gets into a bit of trouble like always but is saved by a member of Aidan’s brethren. While she was gone someone broke into their rooms and stabbed Aidan. The knife used had Shadow blood on it and is slowly poisoning Aidan.
Amber can’t trust anyone. The witches are partnering up with the werewolves. Seth has an ulterior motive and she can’t trust him. She is running out of time and things are getting more dangerous. The mystery circles Amber as she tries to reason out what is really going on and who is really behind it. When it all comes out Amber isn’t surprised but she is unable to change the outcome.
This book had so much going on that it got a little confusing. At times I was unsure as to what was really going on. The reader would get hit with things quickly and then the story would move on. I could not process that fast at times, especially if it was a very unexpected move.
I did like Amber’s character a little more in this book. In previous books she had been my least favorite one. She had to step up and do what needed to be done. Julie seemed to take up the immature female character for a while at least. In the end I liked both of them better. They worked well as a team.
The ending surprised me a bit. I didn’t see that coming. So kudos to the author for that surprise. Nothing like being played. It will be interesting to see how Amber gets herself out of the situation. This book was way more morbid than the rest seem to be. A lot of death and double crossing were quite a part of the storyline. I still like what this series is about and will read the next book to see what happens. I am definitely invested in the story. I give this book a 3 out of 5.

Well, crap. There is another one that I have to wait for now that I have read this one! Good story, good series. This one was way too short, though. I was not happy about that. The series continues with Amber getting herself and others into trouble, trying to solve an ever growing personal list of mystery, while we wait for this epic battle among paranormals to start. The book had less interaction between Amber and Aidan, and we see a teensy weensy bit with Keiran and Patricia, which is just adorable. But really this is mostly about Amber getting in to trouble, and we get one or two mysteries solved in this book. I feel like I shouldn't like Amber, but she is just so awkward and eager that I feel for her, and I do like her. Anyways, not my fave in the series, but I liked it. I really can't believe I have to wait for another one. I wonder how long?

I really love the Ancient Legends series but I am so confused by "Forever and Beyond" and "Shadow Blood". There are so many new characters and a new plot that doesn't flow with the previous books. My favorite characters are Amber and Aidan, their love story is just so interesting that I can't seem to walk away from the books. There were so many times while reading "Shadow Blood" that I wanted to put the book down and stop reading it but I just couldn't. I am really hoping that the next book will solve a lot of the questions that I have left over from these two books.

I love this series. It has everything: great drama, great action, and in between there's a storyline that has kept me intrigued throughout. The fantasy world is really coming together in this one. Blake's background has shed light on why he tried to kill Amber in the first place. I really love a book that's original and complex enough to pull together different plots and subplots, and this series does exactly that.

I enjoyed this story as I have enjoyed all the Ancient Legends books by Jayde Scott. However, I am a bit dissapointed that these last three books focused soley on Amber and Aiden and we did not spend any time with so many of the great characters we met in books two and three. I am excited to see the story will continue with another set of books and look forward to reading them. Hopefully the next books will pull some of my other favorite characters back into the storylines.

I seriously can't wait for this book to come out. My hearts starts to beat faster every single time I think about Aidan. He is the definition of a perfect guy that any girl would be lucky to have. I just want to say, that if Amber ever dares to change back to a human and leave him, i will strangle her!! I absolutely LOVE the ancient legends.

Argggh come on I risked reading this novel coz I thought its gonna end and... Argggh I have a long way to go yet.
Found many loopholes for the story. Not really that incredible and I swear I wish the author won't keep on making circumstances to be possible which isn't possible from the previous books of this series. >.< shoot shoot shoot!
I like the minds games though :)

December 7, 2012
I am loving the series so far!! I hope summer 2013 hurries up ! I was on the edge of my seat when I finished shadow blood! I literally shouted 'no you can't end now!'
Please hurry and publish The prophecy of Morganefaire!! Thanks

I absolutely love the power of a good love story. This book was about two people who have personal issues that would ordinarily drive most couples apart, but their desire to work things out is stronger than the history that precedes them.
April 5, 2013
Amber is about to lose Aidan...nothing goes according to plan. Everything is complicated because no one seems to trust her. She has made terrible mistakes. how can she redo them.
I LOVED THIS BOOK. You have to read it. It kept me turning pages till it was 4 am

I hated the way it ended. I guess it will be another part not sure and the characters really started to get on my nerves. Clare just seem to drop off the face of the earth, Amber was so flakey that it drove me nuts. The first book should have been the only book.
September 16, 2012
Beautiful Cover. I enjoyed the last one in the series. Now I can't wait to see for this book to come out and how it all ties together!!
September 17, 2012
I need this book to come out. Like NOW. The last one had me guessing so much.
November 24, 2012

Excellent Book. Truly epic. When I was at the last page, I said " No WAY. No WAy.", unable to believe what happened. I was stunned. Great way to end this series!!!!! Thanks for the bonus.

Too long to wait until the next book in the series!! UGH!
January 8, 2013
I took my time reading this because i didn't want to end. I'm so sad that this is the last book. Definitely gripping and as always little unpredictable.
January 8, 2013
Well worth reading. It's the most gripping book I read. I got goosebumps and my heart jumped around like crazy.
