I knew I had to start this book straight away after finishing the second book. This book started off straight off the last book after the cliff hanger. Looking at you author. This book did take more of a dark turn for quite a lot of the book, but as the book went on it began to take a healing approach to it. It was lovely to see as it really showed how far both the characters had come. Although they both would not be fully healed from what they had gone through, they both found solace in each other. This book was fast-paced and was full of twists and turns. It is definitely a trilogy I will come back and reread. This is definitely a trilogy that you should check out.
P.S- I also have a strong suspicion that this was setting up a spin off story of Slade and Daisy. Please C.M Kennedy.

This was the absolute perfect ending for this trilogy. I absolutely adore Alex and Juliette and it was so good to see them get their happy ending.

Following the events of book two, this one really takes you through HOOPS and I was so blindsided by so many of the revelations that my jaw was unhinged for most of the journey. As this is the third and final book of a trilogy, I can’t such much plot wise, other than it had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

I related so much to our FMC Juliette, it was almost like reading my own brain at times and I believe that is one of the main reasons this series has found such a special place in my heart. Watching her come out of her troubles as a better woman made everything she went through worth it.

Thank you so much for the arc CM🩶

“I love her, and I’m scared I’ll never get to tell her.” 😭

Blood Ring was the perfect conclusion to the Blood Hunter trilogy! The entire book was filled with action and suspense and I couldn’t put the book down! Things pick up right where book 2 left off and Alex is crashing out over finding Juliette after she is kidnapped. Alex has been through so much and he just can’t seem to catch a break!

“For the rest of my days, I’ll try to do right by you.” 🩶

I appreciated getting to see more of Slade and the twins again! I’m so glad that Slade apologized to Alex and Alex was able to forgive him! The found family with the whole gang was also so great to see and I loved their little family dinners/celebrations!

I’m truly going to miss these characters! It’s always bittersweet getting to the end of a book series that you love so much! However, since a tiny bit of a certain plot was left open, I am hoping there will be a spin off book or series, so I get to see all of these characters again!

Thank you so much to C.M. Kennedy for an advanced copy and letting me be an alpha/beta reader for you throughout this series! It was absolutely surreal to see my name in the acknowledgments section! 🥹 You have come so far since book 1 and I’m so proud that your first complete series is now in the books! 🫶🏻

If you love vampires, dual pov, found family, and the MMC going feral over saving his girl, then be sure to check out Blood Ring when it releases on August 14! In the meantime, books 1 and 2 in the series are available now!

I can now sleep peacefully knowing what happens to Alex and Juliette.

Blood Ring serves as such a great finale to the Blood Hunter Trilogy. This one came out swinging in the suspense department. I was on the edge of my seat reading the first half of this borderline about to chew all my nails off in anticipation of what was going to happen.

The parallels between Alex and Juliette as they are both apart thinking about how much they love each other. I am so soft for them, they deserve infinite happiness after everything they have endured.

I loved being able to see the characters again that weren’t in Blood of Bellevue Manor. Russo twins my beloved (we need a spinoff, please i beg). Also I kinda grew a little attached to Slade in this book despite being kind of neutral towards him for most of the series. AND I need to know what ends up happening with Daisy.

I’m gonna miss these characters so much and I had so much fun reading this trilogy as a whole. Can’t wait to see what else CM Kennedy has in store!

Thank you so much to the author for the eARC.

4.5⭐️
After the way Book 2 ended (it had me screeching and almost ripping my hair out—okay, I’m exaggerating, but you get the idea), I could not wait to get my hands on this! I nearly missed ARC sign-ups, but thank God for small mercies—phew.

The first half was full of suspense—I was so worried for Juliette and had no idea how Alex was going to pull it all off. The second half? Pure adrenaline. I’m so glad things worked out by the end, though I was a little upset about the whole Daisy situation (sigh).

I wish this book had been longer because I just couldn’t get enough. I’m so sad this trilogy is over, but I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on whatever Kennedy writes next.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—this series is one of the best thrillers out there. If you like murder mysteries with vampires, definitely check it out!

I swear I never read books this fast, but this series has been so entertaining! I love the Pacific Northwest vibes especially. I like a good rescue mission, so I just had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. Loved the fun plot twists as well!! This tied up the series so nicely, I love that we get to see all the characters we have met along the way.

What a good ending to the series. Many of the questions were answered. Alex found some peace with his family. I felt sorry for Slade but after so many years at least he knows what happened to Daisy. This a new writer and am looking forward to what she does next. Be sure to read all three of the books to get the full story.

This was a perfect conclusion to the Blood hunter trilogy❤️🧛This book was a perfect blend of action and mystery with found family and emotional growth that kept the whole book a completely balanced read through!

P.S: I need a book for Slade and Daisy *pretty please*
