Loved this installment of the Hotbloods series. This had all the action, drama and romance you could want from a book with a few major plot twists thrown in for good measure.

Riley and Navan's romance is sitting well with me again after faltering a bit in my eyes and now we have a new romance to look forward to. The humor in this book is on point and a lot of bits with Angie made me laugh out loud. The Draconians were a fantastic species and i really enjoyed learning about them and their planet.

Couple of downsides for me were the sheer amount of missions now being undertaken by our group and i find myself struggling to keep up with how much they have to do.

Onto the next.

Wow! First of all readers should know that this book is a little darker than most of Bella’s reads. But it was amazing.

Navan, Riley, and friends have major adventures on the planet of Zai.

There is so much that happens in this one story that it’s hard to even put into words everything that goes on.

Just know it’s a MUST read in the series if you want to keep up with what’s going on.

Of course as Bella always does it ends in a huge cliffhanger! So be prepared and know that book 5 will be out in April!!

Enjoy!

Love the book. I was not able to put it down once I started reading it. If you love hot dragons and cold vampires, you should give this series a try.
Never read any book where situation as complicated as this one. Starting from the romance blooming in neighborhood of a farm house, now they are on an entirely different planet, and that is not even the first planet they visited throughout the series. And why is everyone so obsessed of earth? Seems like our heroes will have to save the earth from every other creatures of the universe.

Out of the frying pan into the fire.

Pandora lacked any sort of empathy for their plight and wanted to complete the mission. Things got complicated and the repercussions of the actions would be far reaching. What a messed up family Navan has and the ending surprised me as I did not see that one coming. Who wouldn't love best friends like that, who would go out into the universe to save the people they loved even if they may never find a way home. I really hope they all get the HEA in the end.

Cliffhanger! Wow will the girls ever get home. Eventually I hope but not before having more adventures on the way. I'm glad Pandora is finally out of the way. The zai were not as bad as the coldbloods made them out to be in fact I liked them but maybe that's because I love dragons. Already pre ordered the next book!

OMG

Can't believe all the things that happen in this book... Will Navan come in time to rescue Railey before anything happens to her and Ronald?, Will Railey win Kaido's over?, What will Navan do when he finds out about Seraphine's situation?, Will Queen Gianne forgive them?... Can't wait for the next book!!! 😱

Bella Forrest gets another book right

Telling a continuing story of war and treaturous creatures both good and bad just trying to get ahead. The travel from galaxy to galaxy to try and stop the fighting, killing and plain treasonous behavior puts the young ones in the crosshairs of the evil ones.

DNF

I’m just not into this series anymore. It’s a little boring for me and I feel like it’s dragging. I’m not saying that it’s a terrible book or that the series is bad but I’m just not into it. I’m going tuck this book away for now and maybe finish on a rainy day. I gave this 3 stars only because I still want to finish the book at some point.

really bugged

setting off on an interplanetary exploration in search the blood to create the immortality serum, the gang goes to Zia. hoping that the Draconians would donate blood in return for a gift, they never could have imagined the horror that would follow. Riley knows they must solve the problem of the coldblood virus or it will all be over

Another great read

Bella Forrest never disappoints! I was hooked on Riley and Navan's story from the beginning. I can't wait to read the next book in the series as Bella has a way of keeping the suspense built all the way to the end, so you really have no choice but to go straight into the next part.

If you love A Shade Of Vampire, then you will love Hotbloods series. I can't say enough about it because Bella knows just what us paranormal fans want. If you haven't started this series yet you're going to want to start this one. It's a MUST READ.

Amazing

Truly gripping adventures, with a spot of romance, plenty of hunky characters, and fiesty ladies! Brilliant series of books that will appeal to young adults and us slightly older.

I couldn't put this book down! It finally felt like a full book!! It could have stopped anywhere with a cliffhanger but I was pleasantly surprised when it kept going! We get to meet new characters and i can't wait to find out what happens next!!

Enjoyed the read.

Not bad, no better or worse then the rest of the books in the series. I did do some skimming, meaning I was thinking, who cares get on with it, but other then that it was a good continuation of the story.

Another fantastic book in this series. I do feel for these kids, though. The trauma, drama, emotions, love and all the violence. These 6 kids can't catch a break. There is so much deception. I honestly don't know how they will make it. Can they trust anyone but themselves?

You know what ....I really like this series,but yet again looks like it’s going to be another 60 + series 🤔😫😫 If Bella stops at 7-8 books I might consider finishing the series .... But I’m moving on so sad

Book 4 of 8

While a lot seems to happen in these books for the characters, their developments, and thief relationships. Not a lot seems to happen towards their ultimate goal and the main story line. With four books to go I hope it picks up the pace soon.
