As always, as good as ever gripped throughout and cliffhanger maling me want more. Hate having to wait for the next book though.
August 1, 2017
Still like the series, but am starting to really lose interest
I really enjoyed this series for a long time, but all of the time jumping and mixed breed characters are making this confusing and predictable at the same time. I literally had to make a cheat sheet after the first time jump to use as a reference to know which child belonged to what couple and what species they were. It's a real shame because some of the story lines are good, but they are feeling rushed and some of the characters just don't feel fully developed. It's almost as if you know the characters will be a couple as soon as they meet and everyone is matched and happy and ready to jump again. I really hope the next couple of books go back to more of the style of the beginning of the series otherwise I will be leaving the shade for good.

This book had me enthralled from start to finish, I literally could not put it down! If you haven't already become addicted to the shade I suggest you start. Bella will hook you into her world and you will fall in love with each and every character! 10/10

Oh My Ggoosssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! That's all I've got.

I don't know why I keep reading these! The plots are so repetitive and characters one dimensional. She ran out of storyline with the original characters so give them kids and now the kids can go through the same cycle. Trapped on a new world without parents and new species for them to fall in love with! I equate this series to watching embarrassing reality tv. It's something to do when nothing else is on. I get them for free with my kindle unlimited and it's an easy brain break.

This book was really good. It started off with intesity and had an explosive and heartwrenching ending. What will their next move be? How will they fix this mess? A roller coaster ride of emotions(mostly love, hate, and sadness). Relationships get stronger and deeper, more species are introduced, surprises up Azael's sleeve are revealed. Just absolutely amazing...but i did have questions...
When I was about 80% into the book, I was somewhat confused. I had questions to some of the characters' actions. SPOILERS FROM HERE ON...
1) Draven uses his blood to transport everyone from the lagoon back to the mansion...the way they got there in the first place was by Sverik's blood because he'd never used or seen a passave stone before, so they wouldn't end up in Azazel's chamber coming through the stone taken from Hansa's tent. Wouldn't they be risking ending up there? Why wouldn't they use Sverik's blood again? It would gaurantee getting through to the masion.
2) This whole time they are concerned and strict about the oracles not going outside the sheild because Azazel can sense them. They seem to believe they are safe under the sheild and rhat Azazel doesn't know that there are 3 of them. The problem with that logic is thst they have already been outside the sheild...in the first book of this generation. That is how they met Bijarki.

Phenomenal!
As always, Bella Forrest does an amazing job of keeping you invested in her created world and leaves you always wanting more. This author and series is one of my absolute favorites. I worried that with so many books in the series, that it would get old like with others I've read, however, the author manages to expand on her imaginary world in the most fascinating of ways that never take away from the story but only make it better. Bravo! I highly recommend this series if anyone is looking for adventure, romance and the paranormal! This is one you don't want to miss! But start with book 1!

Betrayal
On a mission to rally more people for the war agaisnt Azazel Serena meets some new and very interesting people that have a lot of similarities to some of the supernaturals from Earth. Somehow planted in their midsts from the very beginning someone betrays the group which leads to one of Vita's vision finally coming to fruition. I love all the different relationships and seeing them grow closer and stronger. One couple in particular surprised me by taking things to a whole new level. This such a good read. A lot of new characters are introduced and a lot of information is discovered that will hopefully help them turn this war in their favor.

Definitely a hit
Bella's imagination a mazes me each book keeps me reading till I finish and want to throw my kindle across the room because I want to know what's going to happen next. I don't know how she can keep them coming so quickly but I'm happy she does. Otherwise I would stop reading as I hate waiting for more. I love the shadians and just can't get enough. I think I'll cry whenvtge series ends let's hope there another 48 books.

A Passage of Threats
I'm this chapter of ASOV, Serena and friends work on gathering allies. The oracles work on having visions that will aid in the war. Our friends face a betrayal. The story dragged until the end. Too much filler and not enough action. That is my only criticism. The end left us with apache expected cliffhanger. We will need to wait until 8/19 to see how our heros save the save!

I can't wait to read each new book!
I never would have believed it if someone had told me I'd be reading romance books and loving it! Granted these books are not your typical romance. If you're interested in reading this series, start from the beginning, not because you have to but because you'll be glad you did.

Awesome as always
Bella definitely has one unique writing style that sucks anyone in!! I am so into this Season I haven't even thought much of back home at The Shade, Only Eritopia. I think this is by far My favorite season, however I better not promise that as I know I will be saying exactly the same on a future season. Bella is just that awesome!

Emotionally Overwhelming!!!
Be prepared to have your emotions tested. There are situations and scenarios that will leave you gasping, laughing, happy, sad, mad and in awe. There are hints of new love and budding love is solidified.

Mind bending.
If you haven't read the series you really need to. You will be so caught up in the story you'll feel like you're right there with the characters. I recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal. Bella Forrest has a very amazing ability in her writing.

I use to love this series. Ever since the story twisted into this land of druids and succubi, it started to bore me. I tried really hard to get through this book. I made it to 75% before I just couldn't take it anymore.

Wow
This series just gets better. More weird and wonderful creatures come in to play with twists and turns you just can't unravel until the author gives you the answer and more peril and danger is revealed ..bring on the next in the series
