About the author

My name is Mason Sabre. I have been writing since I was a small child and discovered I could have a million adventures at the stroke of my pencil (I wasn't allowed to use pen back then). I have written more stories than I could even publish, some of them I wouldn't ever put out, but I have had a blast writing them. I love writing, I love reading. I love to have a fictional adventure. When I am not doing that I am with my children or studying. I have a lifelong love of learning too.

I live in the North of England. It's a little chilly here and a little wet, but it is what I call home and where pretty much all of my stories are based.

Wonderful!

I have enjoyed each book and am left wanting more of the story. I haven't really been too interested in books lately, but these have caught my attention again.

slow burn romance

I read books one and two of Skin Trade in 2022. Just found the third thinking this was the finale because no further books in this series are advertised. But no.

Interesting story, though I became confused with the past/present scenes. Im still not sure what is happening there. A story of a woman enslaved by vampires who is sold and is led into her destiny.

I haven’t gained any empathy for any of the characters. Payton is all over the show presumably due to trauma and hasn’t demonstrated any character development since the first book.Seth just goes around brooding.
I’m not sure where the story is going but feel it could have concluded in three books with a bit of whittling. I’m afraid I won’t wait to find out.
I do wonder if Ms Sabre has lost contact with her characters and is unable to find the conclusion herself.

I've decided that I*hate* cliffhangers!

This has a doozy of a cliffhanger that doesn't so much appear, as throw you off bodily at warp speed.

Things are getting yet more complicated for, & about, Payton. The mystery of quite what & who she is, is deepening as new facets become apparent. Seth continues to be quite wonderful! Donovan, on the other hand, continues to be NOT.

The imagery is tantalising & ethereal, bringing with it a depth that is a welcome addition to the genre. I can't wait for the next installment of this entrancing saga.

Dragged out cliffhanger no thanks

I'm disappointing I hate being strung along with out a end to a author who claims to not like cliffhangers. This story could of been over in three books there 2 and half hour long I'm a little disappointed. I also never got a real connection with Seth and Payton. I feel like Seth is always dragging Payton along. Payton is always finding trouble because she's stuck in her head.

Too CRAZY 😁

This story has gone through so many different characters 😃. So much death, so much manipulation, a deceitful mess of wanting to control everything 😱. Payton has been abused for so long that she has lost her way and though Seth loves her, she doesn't believe in it 😩. Thanks again Mason, I'm not sure where or how much more of this story I can take, but I'll keep reading 🤓.

what? no, just NO! I read it so you don't have to. Well most of it, I may have skipped the middle because it was that or add it to my DND, and I have issues not finishing a book/book set. Anyway, here's the end: Payton and Seth finally do each other, Donovan has the grimware, and everyone is about to go to St. Mary's to learn what magic Payton's blood has... The End. No, really that was the end of the trilogy. The trilogy that could have been one book ends without an ending.

slow and frustrating

This book is slow and frustrating to read. The main female character , Payton, is weak minded , dimwitted, and annoying. I only read all three books hoping to have some questions answered and to make it make sense, but alas , all I got was, “The End”, at the end of this book. Not sure I will even look for the fourth book at this point .

Blood Bond, Season 3

Wow! I read this book in one day! On the edge of my seat throughout as the story unwinds. Cannot wait until Season Four. Like all the Mason Sabre books and series, you crave for the story to never end!

One cliffhanger after another

I've read the first three books assuming that it was a trilogy since there was no mention of ANOTHER cliffhanger. Will not be waiting for book 4. Little ridiculous.

Blood Bond

These books are a great read. This author is new to me but love these books. There is constant action, mystery...etc. The connection the main characters have has been amazing this far. Can't wait to see where this all leads.

[April · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really struggled through the first half of this book but felt it picked up in the second half. I feel similar to how I did about the second book, not much has progressed. Frustrated with a cliff hanger ending.

[Ja-Neen Blumberg · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh Wow!

Whewww this book had me on a roller coaster ride with all the hops and downs then to end with lots of loose ends. Ughhhh. Gotta read some more books I guess. But very good book for sure.

[Angela Fisher · Rating 3 out of 5]

Horribly disappointed

I read through all 3 really fast. I was excited to see how the end played out. Don't bother. This is the first time I've read this authors work and im stuck wondering if this is how all books/series end.

[Joey · Rating 2 out of 5]

This one was hard to read. I just couldn't get into it. I was waiting for it to get better the whole time, but it never really did.

I also can't help but notice the similarities of characters to the vampire diaries

[Barbijean777 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing

Damn that book was amazing! I'm an addict! I need more! What is got to happen to Payton? I can't wait to find out!

DNF AFTER BOOK 1

[Sinead Kane · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved

I loved these books they were amazing.
I am looking forward to reading the rest of there story.
And how do i find out when book 4 will be released

[Mabel Mumbles · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great read with lots of action I have fallen in love with the character and the world they live in can't wait for more😍

[CasusBelus · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wanted to love this more than I did. It was just meh to me. I really hope there is a reason for the miscommunication/no communication.

As with the first two books, I am bothered by the grammatical errors. All three books could have used a reviewer to check and change those.

I'm upset there isn't another book even advertised to finish out this story.
