Star Touched: Vampire Bride #4
Blazing Sun
Gifted with magic from the sun goddess, forced to marry the vampire king, and destined to kill the demon she can’t get out of her mind.
In only a few weeks, Amber Benson’s gone from being a normal nineteen-year-old to the powerful supernatural queen of a vampire kingdom. She’s learned how to lead, how to fight, and most surprisingly… how to love.
Now, the future of the city depends on her. To save it, she has to claim the Solar Scepter—a weapon crafted for her by the sun goddess—and kill the demonic, but mesmerizing, Shadow Lord.
The only problem? She’s come to care for the Shadow Lord. More than she ever imagined possible—and more than she definitely should.
Unfortunately, tracking him down proves more complicated than anticipated. And even if she can find him, can she find it in her heart to kill him? Especially when Damien—the broody vampire king who forced her to marry him—is determined to hate her for all eternity?
Find out in Blazing Sun, the final book in the addicting Vampire Bride series by USA Today bestselling author Michelle Madow, full of magic, love, adventure, and twists you’ll never see coming.

This was the final book in Star Touched: Vampire Bride series, this one was one was full of ups and downs. Both the relationship between Amber & Damian, and Morgan & Blaze are truly put to the test with the secrets they have kept from one another. It seems like everything must come to light if they wish to sucked. The book doesn't end on a cliffhanger but it is definitely leading up to the beginning of the next series so there are still unanswered questions.

This has been an enjoyable series. IMO, it should definitely be read in order as a series.
I find Ms Maddow to be one of the most enjoyable modern indie writers.
This focuses on 2 female protagonists; Morgan & Amber & their HEA fated mates. Along with some deadly (worse than) vampires & demons.
The entire series held my interest & I recommend it.
I received an Advance Readers Copy (ARC) & am leaving an honest review.

Great job Michelle! I honestly did not expect those twists and was very happy to read them as I love reading books that surprise me and keep me guessing!

I thoroughly enjoyed this series and this book was a perfect ending to this part of it. I know the main Star Touched series isn't done yet because there were things left hanging in this one and Michelle Madow doesn't do sloppy work like that. I will have to wait semi-patiently for whatever is next and hope the wait isn't too long. :)
The world she built in this series was well done and the characters were unforgettable. The chemistry between couples was great and the dialog was very good. Internal struggles were realistically portrayed and personal growth was believable. The story was an A+ but I didn't care for the semi cliff hangers at the end of each book. Otherwise it was a spectacular journey.

Blazing Sun (Star Touched: Vampire Bride #4)
Blazing Sun (Star Touched: Vampire Bride #4) ~ An epic, emotional finale to Amber and Damien’s story! Amber has fully stepped into her power, no longer anyone’s pawn, and her dynamic with Damien is finally on equal ground. The battles are fierce, the consequences are real, and the romance is absolutely everything. I laughed, cried, and stayed up late finishing this one. Every question is answered, and the ending felt earned and unforgettable. I absolutely loved this book and the entire series! I’m heading straight into the Wolf Born series next—can’t wait to see what’s in store!

Way to go Amber!
Omg, this series was awesome. I'm always anxious for the point where the female main character & male main character finally come together as a couple. It looked bleak for a while but it finally happened!
Why oh why did you make us all fall in love with Morgan & Blaze only to have them bail at the last minute? Abandoning Amber at the last minute was bad enough but they ran off and joined the bad guys, helping them finish the very thing Morgan knows will ruin the world for supernaturals and possibly humans.
??? I'm looking forward to finding out more in the next series. 🙂

This has been an incredible series and this final book is just superb. Gripping, thrilling and full of action, suspense, danger and twists and turns to keep you guessing, the author weavers her spell and lures us back into this wonderful world. It’s been an incredible journey, captivating and a little emotional and our characters have grown so much. Secrets and truths come to light, questions are answered and the author gives us an ending we were not expecting!

I commend this author for her writing skills and the world she created but for me this book started good and then was a let down by midway . It felt like she was just dragging it on with the xtra trials with the nightmare collector or whatever he was and then the other one I had to skim the descriptions cause it was getting boring. And the ending was even more of a let down . I'll doubt I'll be finishing the rest of this series.

Blazing Sun
This is the last book in this series. Amber's story is coming to an end with having to complete the trials to get the solar scepter and figuring out how to bridge the gap between her and Damian. She also needs to find a way to kill the Shadow Lord that she feels connected to. Morgan and Blazes story doesn't seem to be over yet either. Curious to know who the next star touched will be.

FANTASTIC SERIES
I wasn't sure about the series at first. I had never read a vampire series. But I adore Michelle Madow's writing, so I gave it a chance. And just like the others I've read, it grabbed me and I couldn't put it down until I was through the whole series. Not to give anything away, but there are a couple of characters whose stories aren't finished, so I hope I find them in others of Michelle's work!

I have loved this series right from the beginning.
Amber and her friends have to finish the trials set in the mystic realm, so that she can claim the Solar Scepter. She must use this scepter to kill the Shadow Lord. Although she doesn't really want to kill him, she knows that she must do it to save the city.

Wow, what a cracking end to the series. It was full of twists and turns from one to the other. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series from the first book right through to and including this one. I loved this one, every single word right through to an ending that I didn’t see coming, not at all. Highly recommended.

Great ending to the Star Touch Vampire Bride series! Wild adventure as Amber and Damien, et al, face trial after trial in their quest to defeat the Shadow Lord. Nail biter with so many twists and turns. I will be thrilled if we see these characters again. Perhaps there will be a continuation with the Morgan and sisters storyline?

Conclusion. All events are tied up and concluded. Morgan and Blaze. Damien and Amber. The Shadow Lord. Even Cassandra. Wow! What a story! It does have a happy ending but there are a lot of tears and sadness along the way. Disturbing characters that Amber makes dealings with and the original vampire Ambrogio is resurrected.

Amazing series full of twists and turns
Ive read all Michelle's books and Im always impressed with her epic style of storytelling. This was as awesome as ever, the perfect mixture of myth, supernatural and reality, and of course the hea was hard earned by our couple. The trials and losses were immense. The rewards even greater. Can't wait for the next series now.

A fitting end
Amber gets the golden sceptre and tries to stop the shadow lord. Morgan returns with Blaze to her family in hopes of saving Willow. As their paths diverge, Morgan realizes the choice she must make. And warns Amber. Meanwhile, Amber solidifies her love for her vampire king and strives to rescue their city.
A spectacular ending to the series!

Love this series!
I actually read the three current series out of order, but they are so well written that it made little difference (except that Sapphires series isn't complete and the fourth isnt out- sad face). I can't wait until we meet the fourth "Gem, goddess touched" and see them unleashed! The guys are going to have their hands full"

Not as good as the 1st 2
It took forever to read& I expected the dead vampire master to be awakened in the middle of the book. Way too many "trials". I really liked Morgan's story. I didn't like what babies the men were in the beginning(Damien & Blaze).

I feel that this series just got better with each book. I think Amber has grown into a strong character and some of the twists with the shadow souls were very interesting. I can’t wait for the next installment and I’m hopeful we can see more with Morgan and Blaze!

Great story!
I love Ms. Madow's books! She writes such interesting stories about the paranormal world. Always full of love, but with challenges along the way. You won't be sorry to buy any of her books.

i enjoyed this series but the ending was disappointing. all this talk about the original vampire for him to not actually do anything? this book just felt incomplete and rushed at the end. i feel like one more book would've given this story a much better ending.
