CAPTIVATING, RIVETING AND DIVINELY ENTERTAINING !!!
Title: A Day of Glory
Series: A Shade of Vampire
Designation: Book Thirty-Two of a Multi-Novel Series (Book Seven and Conclusion of Season Four), NOT a Standalone Read, No Cliffhanger
Author: Bella Forrest
Genre: Young Adult Paranormal Romance
Reading Platform: Kindle Unlimited
My Rating: FIVE DIVINELY ENTERTAINING STARS *****
A Day of Glory is the thirty-second riveting release in the international bestselling megahit series, A Shade of Vampire, and Bella Forrest has left me totally breathless - again! Like thousands of my fellow Shaddicts around the world, I've been hooked since the first book of the series and now eagerly await each new release. And it's no surprise that Forrest has delivered another gripping adventure that curls our toes, makes our hearts pound and keeps us begging for more! This is a beautifully written young adult saga unlike anything I've ever read. Quite simply, it's an irresistible all-you-can-eat buffet of fantasy, adventure, and supernatural romance. The story is well crafted, imaginative, thrilling, fast paced, action packed, suspenseful, sweet, romantic and at times, also dark and mysterious. Whew, what a mouthful, but these are only a few of the words that come to mind after reading this incredible chronicle of the Shade, its inhabitants, and their enemies. The narrative is exceptionally well written in the first person with multiple points of view. Each chapter is told by one of the primary characters (and there are many), which I believe gives more depth, intensity, and perspective to the story while adding vital insight into their thoughts, fears, and motivations. The dialogue is smart, well executed and flows effortlessly. Although the premise and plot for the series are intriguing as well as compelling, it's truly the magnificent cast of larger than life characters that make the biggest impact. They are well developed, fascinating, captivating, engaging, endearing and quite literally, out of this world! They explode from the pages, grab your imagination, capture your heart and hold you completely and totally enthralled from beginning to end. Forrest skillfully combines all of these elements to craft a beautifully written paranormal romance filled to the brim with danger, action, adventure, fantasy, mystery, suspense, magic, supernatural beings, loyalty, heartbreak, betrayal, angst, hope, passion, love and plot twists that will blow your mind. After thirty-two books in a series, some might think the story has grown old or stagnant, but nothing could be farther from the truth. After reading all the books of the series, there are two things I've learned beyond a shadow of a doubt. First, when reading anything written by Bella Forrest, always expect the unexpected and two, absolutely nothing is ever impossible as we've all witnessed time and time again. In each book Forrest pens, she takes her readers on an emotionally thrilling roller coaster ride, unlike any other, one that keeps us on the edge of our seat and riveted to each page while screaming, "OMG - that didn't just happen!" And the icing on the cake, Forrest's books are always well-edited, formatted and have gorgeous covers! I'm not a professional reviewer but I know what I like, what I love and what I don't and I love this series! I've never experienced anything like it. After reading Book 24: A Bridge of Stars, the final book of season three and conclusion of Ben and River's story, I could not stop myself from wondering, where Forrest would take her readers next and how would she surpass her last book. But never fear, my friends, Forrest has once again exhibited her exceptional talent, skill, and imagination by giving us yet another riveting new adventure featuring an entirely new generation of heroes as well as our beloved favorites from earlier books.
Premise:
Almost twenty years have passed since former vampire and now fae Ben Novak, Prince of The Shade, married the beautiful half blood River Giovanni, in a multiple wedding ceremony hosted by the dragons in The Hearthlands. And much has changed in those years. The King and Queen of The Shade, Derek and Sophia Novak, are now proud grandparents, thrice over and many of the other residents are also proud parents. Wow! Time really flies, doesn't it? Ben and River Novak have one seventeen-year-old half fae daughter, Grace. Caleb and Rose Achilles have two human children, Hazel, age fifteen, and Benedict, age twelve. Kiev and Mona Novalic have one seventeen-year-old son named Brock who is half warlock. Witches Ibrahim and Corrine have been blessed with a lovely seventeen-year-old full blooded witch daughter named Arwen. Claudia and Yuri have an eighteen-year-old human daughter, Ruby. Even the dragon residents of The Shade are flourishing. Dragon shifter Jeriad and his human wife Sylvia now have a son, handsome strapping nineteen-year-old half dragon Heath who can't shift but can breathe fire. And there have many other happy unions among the residents. Aiden and Kailyn have been married for almost twenty years. Abby and Erik also took the plunge along with Micah and Kira, Eli and Shayla and the two Jinn, Aisha and Horatio who are now expecting their first child. And not surprisingly, ice dragon Lethe also has a human bride and now resides inside the protective boundaries of The Shade. Even Lucas Novak is a thriving resident of The Shade community as well as a productive member of the family and he and Derek have been able to form a close, rewarding familial relationship. And of course, we all remember the birth of Xavier and Vivienne's beautiful daughter, Victoria Vaughn near the end of Ben and River's Story. But as much as things have changed, there are still many things that have remained the same including The Shade's many enemies. A team of warriors has been carefully chosen from the residents of The Shade to fight those enemies and dubbed as The Shadow League or TSL with Ben Novak as Commander and Derek Novak as Commander in Chief. They've been granted an arsenal of technologically advanced weapons along with authority from the government to fight the Bloodless and other malevolent supernaturals who have invaded the human realm. Unfortunately, the Hunters organization has grown as well. They are now known as the International Bureau for Supernatural Investigations aka IBSI and supposedly, also working as a representative of the government to fight the Bloodless and rogue supernaturals in the human realm with their authority surpassing that of even the FBI and CIA. But as always, the Hunters aka IBSI still seem to have a hidden agenda and as in the past, still pose a serious threat to not only the residents of The Shade, but to all supernaturals in every realm. Oh my! The man at the root of it all is Bradley Thornton of the IBSI and not surprisingly, he and his organization of Hunters still seem to hate the residents of The Shade and take advantage of every opportunity to covertly eliminate them.
Complete review for Season Four: Books 25 through 32:
In Book 25, A Clan of Novaks, Forrest sets the stage for the beginning of a new adventure with an entirely new generation of heroes and heroines. We find beautiful and still very human nineteen-year-old Victoria Vaughn as one of only two human members of The Shadow League. Victoria is a newly inducted member along with four of her friends, Arwen, Brock, Heath and Grace. They have finally been allowed to accompany the team on a mission resulting in a dangerous showdown with the IBSI, one which almost cost the lives of several members of their team. Derek realizes that something is very wrong and determined to discover what other dastardly deeds Thornton is planning. The Shadow League embarks on an unauthorized fact-finding mission and attempts to infiltrate an IBSI facility. Arwen and Victoria discover a mysterious portal to another realm just outside the facility along with a large cage holding a badly beaten and battered but still very handsome young man who is obviously more than just human. Victoria insists Arwen use her magic to free the young man who surprisingly admits to being a werewolf. But how is that even possible? It's nighttime and werewolves are forced to transition into their animal forms at sundown but he's still in his human body. Unfortunately, freeing him sets off an alarm resulting in the arrival of ISBI guards and their deadly trained mutant fighters. Victoria is injured and nearly captured but rescued just in the nick of time by the enigmatic former prisoner/werewolf she and Arwen had just freed. Now, a very human Victoria finds herself in The Woodlands realm at the mercy of her mysterious rescuer with her survival now totally dependent upon the handsome werewolf.
Prince Bastien Blackhall is a werewolf and an anomaly. He was born not as a human baby but as a wolf pup and spent the first fifteen wolf years of his life in his wolf form, not being able to shift. But once he finally managed his first shift into a human, he could then transform at will and never forced into wolf form each and every night like his brethren. His father had been the leader of The Woodlands Realm Blackhall Tribe until recently when Bastien was forced to witness the murder of his entire family at the hands of The Hunters aka IBSI. Inexplicably, Bastien was not killed but captured, beaten and forced into a cage with no hope of escape - until an unknown and very lovely young human woman appears, seemingly determined to rescue him. When the young woman is injured and nearly captured herself, he knows he must help her. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she's very beautiful and also smells absolutely delicious. A new romance is born and here we go again!
In Book 26, A World of New, our story resumes directly after the Hunters'(aka IBSI) attack on The Woodlands Realm which has led Bastien to believe that Victoria may be the traitor who led the enemy to their door just as his Aunt Brucella charged. Bastien is reluctant to believe the accusations against the young woman who rescued him and for whom he has now grown to deeply care for, but he must focus his attention on escaping not only the deadly Hunters but staying out of the clutches of his aunt and her unwelcome attempts of forcing him to marry her daughter Rona. Victoria, having been rescued by her family during the Hunters' attack, finds herself back at The Shade, alone and miserable without Bastien. She somehow must convince her family to return to The Woodlands, discover Bastien's fate and hopefully rescue him before it's too late. Fortunately, Derek has a plan to return The Woodlands and liberate the entire realm. And that's only the first step of his strategy to completely eliminate the threat posed by the Hunters. But during the attack on the Hunter base of operations, a prisoner is discovered by The Shadow League, a young man who appears to be paralyzed and near death with no memories of his life or identity. They rescue him and take him to The Shade to heal and recover. The lovely half fae Grace Novak is charged with his care but all is not as it seems. The young man appears to be a half-blood who was not only held captive by the Hunters but also used as an experimental test subject. Unfortunately, the witches nor the Jinn can identify the cause of his illness and are unable to heal him. To make matters worse, for some inexplicable reason, the hunters are determined to recover their missing prisoner, no matter the cost. And the lovely seventeen-year-old Grace seems to be developing a very strong attachment to the young man with no name. Another mystery is afoot and possibly another blossoming romance! Is this unknown young man friend or foe? Will Grace be able to help him remember who he is and how he came to be a prisoner? And will The Shadow League find Bastien in time and free The Woodlands realm from the Hunters?
In Book 27, A Web of Lies, the adventure continues after Derek and The Shadow League liberate The Woodlands Realm from the hunters/IBSI. They rescue Bastien from The Trunchlands, the Ogre realm and transport him to the hospital at The Shade for treatment. Despite Brucella's attempts to keep them apart, Bastien and Victoria are finally reunited but their separation has forced the young couple to realize their true feelings for each other. Unfortunately, Bastein's Aunt Brucella is not so easily deterred and refuses to submit to her husband's wishes. She is still determined to force Bastien into a marriage with her daughter, Rona, no matter the cost, and with Brucella's new plan, that cost could be great indeed. The identity of the mysterious young man rescued earlier from the IBSI/hunter facility in The Woodlands has finally been discovered. A man by the name of Atticus Conway, claiming to be the young man's father, arrives at The Shade with an army of hunters pleading for the release of his son so that he may receive treatment from the IBSI, also revealing that without this treatment that only the hunters can provide, his son will die. Josh, now known to be Lawrence Conway, is surrendered to his father, Atticus and the IBSI. But now that Lawrence aka Josh is back in the hands of the hunters/IBSI, Grace is forced to admit that her interest in the handsome young man has evolved into something far greater than only the professional regard of a caregiver. Unfortunately, Grace's instincts are also telling her that all is not as it seems and that Atticus Conway has not been entirely truthful in his claims. Grace finds herself with quite the quandary but is more determined than ever to uncover the truth regarding Lawrence Conway aka Josh and the mystery surrounding him. Lies are exposed, shocking secrets revealed, new enemies uncloaked while old enemies still lurk at every turn.
In Book 28, A Touch of Truth, our story resumes on Murther Island where Brucella sets into motion her deceitful plan to manipulate the imprisoned Mortclaws, coercing them into aiding in her quest to destroy Victoria with the promise of their freedom, and also demanding an alliance between the Mortclaws and Northstones to be insured by the marriage of her daughter Rona to Bastien Blackhall (Mortclaw???). Bastien has now become the leader of the Blackhall Clan of Werewolves and is working tirelessly to negotiate alliances with the other clans of The Woodlands, but his heart and thoughts are focused on the lovely Victoria who has returned to The Shade. But Brucella may have bitten off more than she can chew, quite literally. While searching for information on the mysterious FOEBA and the location of her former patient and new friend Lawrence Conway, Grace is captured by the IBSI in Hawaii and transported to Chicago. But again, all is not as it seems. Danger abounds and more mystery is afoot. What is FOEBA and what is the nefarious IBSI up to this time? Did Lawrence survive and if so, will Grace be able to find him? Will she find a way to escape? Or has her luck finally run out? And exactly who is Atticus Conway and what is his real connection to the IBSI? Will The Shadow League finally discover the purpose of FOEBA? Will they somehow manage to stop the power-hungry machinations of the IBSI before it's too late?
In Book 29, An Hour of Need, while a troubled Victoria ponders her life and the risks she's willing to take to ensure a future with Bastien, the remaining members of the weary, beleaguered heroes of The Shadow League face insurmountable odds in their fight against the malevolent IBSI, but resolutely continue their search for answers in order to save one of their own. But time is running out, their enemies are closing in and what they discover may very well be too little too late. Oh my! Could Atticus Conway's son, Lawrence, be the key to finding the answers they desperately seek? Will Lawrence even remember his beautiful, selfless caregiver Grace and the time he spent at The Shade? We'll see! OMG! I was glued to my chair, white knuckling my ereader, completely enthralled with my heart fluttering wildly in my chest while the pages flew as did the time!
In Book 30, A Game of Risk, our story continues as our heroes and heroines from The Shade race against the clock, facing insurmountable obstacles to save the people they love. Victoria soon realizes the true depth of her feeling for Bastien but how much is she willing to sacrifice herself for the man she loves? And will Bastien be willing to do the same? The clock is ticking for Grace as she finally faces the worst challenge of her life. But will she suffer it alone, with only her family for comfort or will Lawrence see his father, Atticus Conway, for the truly evil man he is? Time is running out for our warriors of The Shade. Have they finally found an enemy they cannot defeat or will Derek and Ben once again achieve the impossible? Just how much are they willing to risk? We'll see!
In Book 31, A Twist of Fates, our story resumes with a foreboding vision experienced by Vivenne foretelling the ominous collision of fates but whom will it affect or more importantly, who will prevail? Victoria's journey continues through several realms as she endures trial after trial, overcoming insurmountable obstacles and impossible odds during her search for Bastien while our courageous group of heroes from The Shade proceed in the opposite direction, racing against the clock to out maneuver the IBSI, discover the Bloodless cure and hopefully save Grace. Sadly, the threads of fate seem to grow weaker between our young lovers as insidious forces conspire to keep them apart. Grace is running out of time....Lawrence is running for his life...Ben is running out of ideas...Bastien is running to keep Victoria safe...and Victoria, well...she's just running or I should say flying, desperately trying to reach Bastien. At this point in their ordeal, Ben and Derek realize they need more than just answers. They're no longer satisfied to only expose the IBSI for the monsters they truly are.....they must crush them, totally and completely, ensuring no force like them can ever rise to power again. The future of the entire planet now stands at risk and it seems, the only hope left for the world is The Shadow League. Bella Forrest once again envelopes us in an entangling web of twist and turns leading to more danger, more questions, more mystery, more suspense, more disappointment, more heartache and surprisingly more humor amid the dismal doom and gloom. But never fear loyal fans, she also gives us long awaited answers to quench our inquisitive spirits. Round and round, they go...Where will it stop? No one seems to know!

And now in Book 32, our story resumes with Bastien and Victoria confronting the Mortclaws in The Woodlands while Derek and his harrowed army of heroes of The Shadow League square off with Atticus Conway and the IBSI for a final terrifying battle in the exciting conclusion of Season 4. The fate of the entire world is at stake but who will be the victor? We'll see!

Two beautiful, brave heroines-check! A handsome werewolf prince-check! A mysterious young man with no memory-check! An army of supernatural heroes-check! A magnificent cast of characters including a new generation of heroes-check! A plethora of supernatural beings including mutants, vampires, werewolves, witches, dragons, ogres, jinn, fae-you bet! More new creatures that we've never before encountered-check! Danger, drama, adventure, suspense, betrayal and malevolent enemies-check! Two sweet budding romances-maybe! That and a whole lot more! Buckle up my lovelies for another exciting new adventure with all our favorite residents of The Shade including a brand new generation of heroes, all working together to battle old enemies along with a few new ones as well. I can hardly wait for the new adventure in Book 33: A Dawn of Guardians. Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!

Next gen?

While this book seems to end on a happily ever after note - it also leaves you with the "uh oh.... now what?" So read on ! There's MORE!

[Roxx • A Hopeless Romantic • · Rating 5 out of 5]

Alright so I am happy that Bastien and Victoria get their happy ending but how in the F do Lawrence and Grace fall so deeply and madly in love when they spent so little time together. Yes she was full of angst for him and his predicament and she went bloodless for Gods sake but she didn't spend enough time with him! Idk she is so much like her mother that I can't be to shocked. I was happy to see the man that Ben becomes, totally redeemed after the almost shipwreck that his story was. Again Victoria and Bastien were the ones who made me stick with this one. Please go back to the awesomeness of season 2 and 1!

[Melissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good finale to the series with the IBSI falling and Victoria and Bastien getting their happy ending.

Highlights for me:

-Bastien putting Rona in charge of his pack

-Mona stripping Bastiens family of their extra abilities and them potentially being the prey of the heathlands following the destruction they caused

-Derek coming through with the supernatural army

-Atticus being given chapters, Lawrence putting him live in front of the world and showing his true colours, that he is warped until the end

-Lawrence being saved by jez his precious mutant companion

-Lawrence loving Grace no matter how she looks I.e taking off her wig

I’m intrigued to know which characters will be the focus of the next series, id like to see field and his brothers develop.

[Maria Wilson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Long lost brother

Holy smokes this book is jam packed with so much you wont be able to put your book down. The mortclaws terrorizing comes to an end. The orphan babies find some permanent homes with some surprising couples. Lastly the IBSI and TSL have an epic battle. Derek calls to arms all the supernaturals to help with IBSI and the bloodless and he barely makes it in the nick of time. Such an exciting read. I cant even fathom what is in store next for the people of The Shade.

[Marisol Acevedo · Rating 5 out of 5]

You just can’t fire a Novack!!

How I loved this book. I love all the craziness, sci-fi, on God posture us theories and everything in between. Grace celeb rose Vivian then Sophia and of course king Derek. they’re amazing characters. Then again they all are!

And I love the end while Sophia is going through all the characters, their spouses, their children and a small synopsis of where their lives went and where they are now. They didn’t leave anyone out. Even king Theon and his bride.

Off to #33

[Gregory Willingham · Rating 5 out of 5]

Outstanding series

The continuity and plotlines are epic. The character development is off the charts and how she manages to keep all the characters so interesting but unique is fascinating. This last set was more of 2 romantic storylines running side by side along with the overall plot that enveloped all of the shade. I can't get enough. If you're an avid reader and enjoy the adventure category along with fantasy then this writer is for you. Don't miss out. Her growth as a writer is evident from book 1 to book 32. She really is exceptional.

[Julie Marie · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best series ever!!!

I always want books to continue after the happily ever after and Bella delivers over and over again I'm reading the series for a second time and I'm just as enraptured as I was the first time!!! This needs to be turned into a tv series it's something we have never seen before with each season being about a new generation while still keeping the characters we fell in love with a part of the story !!!I will never get bored of the shade!!!!

[D.R.Slater · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Day of Glory

Great ending to a Long series. Yes, I know Bella Forrest hasn't stopped giving her reader's more of the Shade. As she has in the past, with series five. This series will go down as the never-ending story in history. Yet, I've state it once more I enjoyed Bella storytelling in creating this series.

[Rochelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this season. They were filled with action and were really intense at times. I don’t know how Bella continues to have original stories in the vampire world, but she does it! I always love that she ends the “seasons” with happy ending. Can’t wait for the next season and to learn about these grey scaly babies and what they are going to turn into.

[Kimberly L. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing series!!

This was a remarkably good story, all of this Author's books have been really good but this particular series was exceptionally gripping, I don't want to spoil any of the story by giving away bits of the book, you HAVE to read this series, well worth your time😉

[Kathy Mullen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This entire series has pretty much kept me glued to reading them. Especially in the beginning. The addition of so many different types of supernaturals has kept it pretty interesting. A lot of action and adventure in every chapter.

Loving this series. On to book 33.

Love the details of the different characters as well as always including the different couples their offsprings and the rest of the family interaction .

[Suey Edwards · Rating 5 out of 5]

By now I think it is fair to say that Bella really has owned this genre. There is no other author out there that has been able to suck me into their imaginary world quite as vividly - this book being no exception. There's so much going on in this last book of the season and I did wonder how Bella was going to manage to wrap it all up within the one book without having to lose precious detail. Well I need not have worried as everything was perfectly written with all the details wrapped up and tied with a pretty, sparkly bow! Fantastic work!

The IBSI are going down! Atticus finally gets his comeuppance - and I don't just mean by Ben launching a book at his head, which was absolutely hilarious! Derek swoops in and saves the day with the most awesome of supernatural armies ever to exist in the fictitious world of supernatural literature. Want to know how amazing this army is and how it comes about? Read this series. I guarantee you will not regret it.

Lawrence really has his moment to shine as a hero in this addition, and I think it's fair to say that all of us fans were swooning over him! What a lucky girl Grace is. Although the same could be said for Lawrence, as without Grace's brave misadventures the bloodless cure may never have been found and none of this wonderful ending would have come about.

Let's not forget Bastian and Victoria's eventful time in the Woodlands with Mona and Brock. The Mortclaws' were truly put in their place by Mona as she told them in no uncertain terms, it is not OK to go around eating their own kind - an amusing scene letting Bella's humor shine through. I wonder what will become of the beastly wolves now they have returned to their true werewolf forms?

Tears were flowing as River and her long lost son, Field, united for the first time. I very rarely cry at a book, but this really struck a chord with me and was perfectly written. I'm already matchmaking Field with Shade characters in my head and I do hope we get to read more about him in the next season. I also can not wait to discover what the strange gray babies are. What a mystery to keep one's intrigue flowing!

Well, what more can I say? With fantastic action, romance, suspense and mystery all flowing beautifully and harmoniously together, what is not to love? The Shade series is a must read if ever there is one.

Season 4 finished...

Now that League has decided to dismantle the IBIS once and for all, Lawrence is the key for their destruction. Exposing himself as still alive to the world is just one step to proving that his father is nothing but power hungry, making each is very government official dependant on him and his organization.

After Grace gets her cute that the scientist and the witches reconstruct, the TSL head to Chicago to cure the Bloodless. But once Lawrence's TV appearance goes global, outing his father's nefarious plans, Atticus has his men in both Chicago, NY, and LA release the bloodless into the human areas. He wants to prove that the world needs him. But Derek is one step ahead of him. He has the wolves, ogres, witches from The Sanctuary and the dragons as an army. Proving that the Supernaturals can work together for peace.

With Atticus now in prison for life, the world now safe TSL takes over the headquarters from IBIS and make it theirs.

The Shade has many new residents now, including Lawrence, the Hawks, and now the half-hawk/vamp/human boys. One of whom was created with River's stolen eggs when she was a prisoner of the IBIS years ago.

Stay tuned....

Another amazing escape from reality

Bella Forrest has done another amazing job. Every time I read another book from her, I'm always thankful that I stumbled upon her books while looking for something to read on kindle unlimited. I don't like to write reviews about the actual storylines because that gives to much away, but as someone who loves to read I encourage you dear reader to invest your time into starting her first shade book and enjoy the escape like a lot of us do. The mystery, romance, fights, sorrows and happiness will keep you wanting more. And thank you Bella for continuing to give us all more of the Shade when it would be easier for you to quit, for that I am thankful.
