Bonded By Blood Vampire Chronicles #4
Midnight Eclipse
Book 4 – Shetland Islands, 1734 – Shapeshifting Pirates
This paranormal adventure contains a sexy vampire and a kick-ass wolf-shapeshifting heroine. It also contains lots of other sexy shape shifters, has strong romantic elements with HOT love scenes, and swashbuckling pirate action.
Broderick MacDougal follows the familiar yearning of his soul to a fierce warrior who is as seductive as a siren at sea – and she is just as deadly. The world of the supernatural opens to Broderick as he not only finds himself in the midst of an ancient war of shape shifters, the devious Cordelia Harley has re-entered his life and has a few of her own surprises.
Born into a hated race of Norse werewolves, Celina Hunter knows all too well the dangers of trusting anyone other than her two brothers. And yet the survival of her family hinges on trusting the strangely familiar Broderick MacDougal, a natural enemy of her kind…yet one her tribe’s Shaman advisors confirm is her soul mate. Enemy or not, Celina slips into the spell of this vampire’s promises of eternal love, gambling with all she holds dear.
Broderick and Celina are bound by a curse, but having come this far through the centuries, Broderick is not about to risk his chance at having his soul mate for eternity. The price, however, may be more than Celina is willing to pay as there is more at stake than just her immortal soul.

Cursed to love someone who loves you back? I suppose having your one true soul mate for eternity could be a curse if it takes several lifetimes to keep finding each other. Thanks to Arial Burnz and her latest hit, Midnight Eclipse we get one hot vampire and one beautiful and wicked-awesome werewolf who, once again find their heart’s desire, but can it last this time or will history repeat itself, tearing them apart one more time?
Broderick MacDougal is still searching for the soul mate he lost so long ago and finds himself caught up in an ancient shifter war, coming face to face with a beautiful warrior were, Celina Hunter who feels the same pull, the same need, but does she run into his open arms? Nooooooo, not Celina! Even when she is told by the three seers that her enemy, a vampire, is her soul mate and they are fated to love each other, she still can’t quite admit the passion she feels for this dream lover, and we are talking heated passion, like turn molten lava hot! Imagine dreaming night after night about a man you cannot see, but you can feel every single touch and caress.
Meanwhile, Broderick’s brother has resurfaced, and the results are sometimes heartbreaking, aggravating and finally, completely tear-worthy. Will they bury the silver somewhere other than in each other’s hearts? And the Illuminati? Argh!
So, once again, we are thrust into the world of Arial Burnz’s extremely vivid imagination! Ms. Burnz writes with her own deep passion for her work, and its shows as each scene comes to life, each word is heard and each emotion is felt! No need to worry that too much is going on, as Ms. Burnz keeps everything running smoothly! I swear there were times when I thought I may hyperventilate during the dream sequences-perhaps a bottle of smelling salts should be included with this book?
I received this copy from Arial Burnz in exchange for my honest review.

Great series
This is a great series so far, I am enjoying it a lot. There are many twists and turns, a love so great, a prophecy to realise, and much more.

' I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review'
Broderick and his brother were turned into Vampires as part of a prophecy. Part of this prophecy includes his Soul Mate Davina. The bad part is Davina is killed and reincarnated. First as Monika whom he loved more then Davina. He doesn't know if he can take her being reincarnated again. Then he has the dream that let's him know that she has and that he is close to her. This time she is a wolf shifter named Celina. Who happens to be part of a clan who despises Vampires since a Vampire killed her mother. He now has a full plate. Convincing Celina that they belong together, finding a ring that serves more then one purpose, allowing him to walk in the sunlight and bringing peace between Celina's Clan and another Clan, protecting himself, Celina, her family and others from the illuminati and that's just some of what this buy Vampire has going on.
Celina has been having some very sexy dreams however she never see's his face. After going to see the three seers she finds out that this man is her soul mate. What they don't tell her is that he is a Vampire, and Scottish. Both big no no's when it comes to her family. When her father and brothers find out they are not very happy. They try to do everything they can to keep Broderick and Celina apart. The Three come up with a way for the two to get to know each other without the interference of her family.
Will Broderick and Celina find happiness or will the illuminati get the best of them?
My Opinion:
I definitely enjoyed this book although with it being the fourth book in the series I am sure that there is a lot going on that I have missed. This is a new author to me and I can see myself reading more of her work. This book definitely had a lot going on. A lot of twists and turns and you never really know what is going to happen! I am looking forward to reading the other books in the series and am eager to see what the next book in the series brings. I definitely recommend reading!

This is the fourth book in the series and for me the first time I have read this author. I will definitely be checking out more from this author. This book had a lot going on in it. I don't feel like it was necessary for me to read the other books in the series first, but I am sure I missed out on a lot surrounding the story.
I really enjoyed the characters and the story line. There were lots of twist and turns. You never really knew what was coming next and that I really enjoyed. I also liked the idea of a vampire and werewolf cursed to love each other. It was a fascinating concept. A great read overall and i look forward to what will come next.

Once again Arial takes us into her Bonded By Blood world. 102 years into the future from the third book. Broderick's beloved Monika has been taken from him by the Army of Light who are now know as the Illuminati while he was sleeping. He went on a rampage for many decades in his heartbreak until the prophetess confronts him and lets him know that it will not help matters and finally calms him enough for him to see reason. He is finally drawn yet again to another woman to find that she is a werewolf, but not of a bitten variety. She is of a race that is born and her family is in a blood feud with another and he finds that they are all looking for the same ring, one that will make it possible for him to walk in the daylight if he wears it. Cordielia and Malloren, the prophetess, show up in time to let him know that this is part of the prophecy and there are some great battle scenes that occur. They find out that the Illuminati have many artifacts that Cailin and her husband James gathered for them and I'm guessing that we will find out in later books what they will mean for the prophecy as Malloren looks into it further. The end of the book advances us over a hundred years into the future and we find out that there is indeed the existence of Spirit Witches. I look forward to finding out what this means in the next book when it comes out next month.
Once again Arial had me so enthralled in the story I was finished with it before I realized it was over. The imagery was amazing and I am only disappointed that it is over. Keep them coming Arial!!

I loved this story!!!! This was another great installment in this series. This is the fourth book and because they build off of each other quite a bit, I recommend reading them in order. It is definitely worth checking out every book. We get to see familiar characters again and the prophecy progresses even further. Broderick has found his soul mate again in Celina. There's quite a few obstacles for them to overcome this time and be together. Celina is a wolf shifter and so knows what Broderick is right away. I really loved the way that this story was done and how Celina and Broderick build their relationship. There's quite a bit of action in this story and we learn more about the Army of Light and what they've turned into. This is an interesting twist. I don't want to spoil anything so I won't say but it definitely changes things. The sex is hot, explicit and fits into the story perfectly. There's action in this story and plenty of intrigue to keep you completely involved. Once I started reading, I didn't want to put it down. This story is complete but it does build off of the previous ones and continues the overall story that has been set up. Each book is set in a different time. It's done very well and I can't wait to read the next one. I'm very excited to see where this goes next.

First I got this book for an honest review.
How many times can a vamp find and lose his soul mate? So far in this book set over 100 years after Midnight Hunt we know of at least 3. First was Davina, then Monica and now in this book we have Celina, a fiest wolf shifter who takes one look at Rick and just knows that he is her soul mate so she bites him because Celina is a member of a shifter pack that hates vampires.
Celina feels the same pull, the same need, but does she run into his open arms? Even though she dreams about him every night and has been told by three seers that he (a Vampire) is her soul mate Even the hot, sweaty, drowning in passion dreams are not enough to make her give in to this impossible thing.
Add to this the fact that Angus has once again surfaced and you have a sometimes heartbreaking and tear worthy book, Sometimes you want to hate Angus and then he does something and you want to hug him. Will he and Rick ever be able to find a middle ground and begin to build a relationship.
This book definitely had a lot going on. A lot of twists and turns and you never really know what is going to happen! How many times is Brodrick going to have his soul mate torn from him? Will he ever have his happily ever after? Can’t wait for the next one.

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Book 4 in the series finds our beloved hero sailing the seas again after losing Monika(Davina) in a heart wrenching manner. He finds himself pulled into some Norse mythology this time with the breathtakingly beautiful Celina Hunter who is a decedent of a Norse god. I love the take on Norse mythology and the Illuminati. What an imagination the author has, but all history/paranormal buffs have wondered at some point if they didn't have something like in the books to store relics!!! Ms. Burnz you nailed it! I have to say I actually found myself feeling sorry for Angus at the end of the book, but I have to wonder how he will digest the information he garnered in future books. Yet another task of the prophecy was fulfilled. I believe we have two to go, so at least two more books. We also learned even more about the elementals and I'm very curious about the epilogue we read. hmmmm is all I can say. This series, just gets better and better with each book. It's a must read and I highly recommend it.

Title: Midnight Eclipse
Author: Arial Burnz
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Format: Ebook
Pages: 395
Rating: 5
Heat: 4
Main Characters: Broderick, Celina
Supporting Characters: Jesse, Angus
Thoughts: I am really loving this series and the characters. Davina has been reborn again, this time in a Norse shifter and with a bit more attitude and it’s just so exciting! I look forward to seeing what type of character she is in the next book. The prophecy still isn’t complete and it seems that each rebirth of Davina brings one more piece to the puzzle.

I'm not one to give away details of what is in the story so, all I can tell you is I love this enstallment to the series. Broderick is still the hottie Vampire that I fell for in the first book. In this book his love interest is a werewolf named Celina. She's an amazing character. Unlike the last book where it took me a while to warm up to Monika, I immediately liked Celina. There are some new problem brought to light in this volume, some problems put to bed and some that just get worse. I can't wait for the next book! Well done Arial! I'm officially and completely on board again.

Fourth Milestone of The Prophecy
Another piece of the prophecy is fulfilled along with the revelation that the end is far from near, for those involved. New insights, motives and the true nature of these broken, cursed and lost souls are revealed causing the readers heart to fill with hope while breaking with each page. Midnight Eclipse, I feel, is Arial Burnz's best work to date and I have no doubt that she will continue to out due herself as Bonded By Blood continues.

Loves never dies - not for Broderick MacDougal and his soul mate. I love Broderick and I hope there are more books about him. This was a very good story. Broderick has to prove himself to Celina's family and that is not an easy task - they hate vampires. Celina is a kick butt female and I instantly liked her. Can't wait for the next book!

I truly love this series and the twist and turns it has for the fulfillment of a prophecy no one really seems to have a grasp on but are trying to make happen anyway. Someone has the answers but they are always keeping watch and never entering the picture. I can't wait to find out who it is and where this story leads from here.

Nothing can keep me from reading the next book in the saga. Well, except it's not out yet! The superb writing of these books keeps the reader immersed and wanting more. It's Broderick's curse to relive his lost love of Divina over and over again. While Celine is fierce, I'm still taken with Monika's strength and bravery! What will the next installment bring? I can't wait to find out.

Midnight Eclipse is a paranormal fairy tale love story about a vampire and werewolf. This is the fourth book in the series, but only the second I've read. I missed books one and two. I've enjoyed books three and especially four so much, I'm going back and start the series from the beginning!

This is the 4th book in the series and although I do recommend you read the entire series to better enjoy it is not necessary. Broderick is a vampire and dreaming of his soul mate, Celina is a Norse shifter and nothing what Broderick expected. Destine to be mates but mortal enemies can they find a way through all of their enemies to find love together? Lots of drama and suspense, I was glued to my kindle from beginning to end. I really liked it!

Another great story about Broderick, his soulmate and his brother Angus.
In search for the ring of the sun so he may become a daywalker and hopefully free two species of their curse too.
An exciting adventure follows!

Vamps, werewolves & illuminates how can you ask for more?
Ms. Burnz gives us strong female characters and wonderfully sexy males. This tells the story of soul mates finding each other over and over again and the fulfillment of a prophet.

This series is written for adults, and written quite well. I encourage all who love a good vampire romance in which even death holds no power to read this series.
