In the series finale, perfumer Aria Holt and vampire Gabriel de Clermont must free a century-old chorus of cursed bottles from bloodlust without destroying their souls. The bottles don't want to be mute...
Celeste, the unhinged rival vampire who started it all, is cornered. But a new enemy steps from the Vraxiel, a demon and vampire-hunter who hates vampires and believes only two paths exist—conduct (as in use the bottles himself to bring down vampires) or purge (kill them).
With witch Luna, shifter Loki, vampire Apollo Knox, Detective Reyes, and Brother Finnian—a Benedictine vampire monk who can pray and duel—Aria and Gabriel fight for the bottles and a future.
The last battle isn’t about noise; it’s about choice. And the final note belongs to Aria.
The exciting conclusion to the story of our perfumer Aria and her vampire boyfriend Gabriel as they fight Celeste and Vraxiel for control of the fate of the bottles.
Overall, I loved the story. The pacing was great, the story beats hit and were perfect. The conclusion was beautiful.
But the overall writing, technical execution, and some issues with the world building unfortunately brought the rating down for me. I said this in my review of the 3rd book, but I rarely read books in a series back to back, and this is the first time in a long time that I did. So I admit that some of my issues may be exacerbated by reading around 900 pages straight of the series.
Again, story was fantastic. But the sheer number of one liners / metaphors / trying to be quotable moments became tiring by the end of the series. Were they good? 90% of them were and I loved them. But multiple times per page for 4 books was grating and some of them by the end didn't make sense to me.
There were also some big world building questions that came out of nowhere and were never addressed that I am still sitting here trying to figure out. These were some pretty big questions that immediately took me out of the story that I feel like could have been addressed with a couple of extra pages at some point in any of the 4 books.
Overall, I enjoyed the series. But I would suggest maybe breaking it up with different books because the constant metaphors got tiring after 4 straight books of it.
The finale of “The Blood Collector” series has arrived, and with it more danger, more risk and more passion. Celeste has lost a great deal of her power and is lashing out. But there is a new evil that has arrived to entrap the Choir for his own nefarious purposes. A demon named Vraxiel who hates all vampires and wants to eradicate them. Luna, Apollo and Loki are waiting to aid Aria and Gabriel in their quest to set the Choir free and teach them to be a family. And they have another ally who is prepared to take on the demon—Brother Finnian, a vampire and monk who has been a friend to Gabriel for many decades. There are spells and rituals and dangers to face, but beneath it all is the true and relentless love Aria and Gabriel share and the friends that have become family. “Choirfall” gives you everything you want in a series finale. But my favorite part has to be the amount of time the author spends with Aria and Gabe once all the insanity has passed and they are able to settle into their lives and love for one another. The couple gets the long and lovely ending they deserve. It’s a satisfying conclusion that echoes like a enchanting scent. I wonder what ingredients Aria and Gabe would use for that? :).

Gabriel, Ariel, Luna and a host of others help end a reign of terror. The love story has a happy ever after. The perfumers create joy and happiness. The ending is perfectly done. This book and series deals with some hard issues like addiction and evil doers . The good guys come in many different forms. Good wins over evil; hate can be a powerful weapon against evil. Love last forever and doesn’t dictate. The author did an amazing job with this book and series. It is one that I will definitely recommend and read again.

Book 4 of The Blood Collector is suspenseful, a new Demon enemy to contend with, chaos with Celeste, freeing the glass bottles of the old curse. This story is very well written. I enjoyed all the characters. Aria, Gabriel, Loki. Luna, Detective Reyes, Apollo and Brother Finnegan all work together to end the bad guys and bring peace to the glass bottles and everyone's lives. This story is amazing and has a very happy ending. Jade does not disappoint. I highly recommend this book and this series.
Celeste has one trick left up her sleeve and when a new evil comes to control the entities of the bottles (the Choir), it's up to Aria and Gabriel to stop them. This final installment was a battle to save more than themselves as the connection to the choir is the key. The story was full of intensity, a little steam and deep connections. This was a series that really kept me invested until the very end.

Humans, vampires, and shifter gather as family to fight evil. The love, the fast pace, the intensity, the excitement, and a story that had me on the edge of my seat. Add a slow burn and don’t forget the humor mixed it made this perfection for me.
This is the final book and I love this series so much and will reread often.
It touched my soul in ways that a book hasn’t done in so long.

Now that was a great ending. Celeste gets arrested and goes to jail, the board disappears, and the demon dies. The bottles get a new song and Aria and Gabriel get married. The addiction got reversed also. Great series.
