Reviews

[Kelly Gunn]

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!

[Kadie]

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.

[Alahs]

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!

[Baneet]

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.

[Nereid]

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.

[Debbie Chittenden]

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?

[Barbara]

Get ready for a full book! This one was literally bursting at the seams. There was the potential for about 50 cliffhangers, but Bella Forrest was deliciously indulgent! The plot twists, turns, makes your heart stop, pause, and almost explode! And it just keeps coming! I had to keep checking to make sure I wasn't too close to the end, and was relieved over and over again.

[Robin Feil]

Amazing read! Bella continues to amaze me with each new book! This series is refreshing from a Vampire perspective, so different! She makes these other worldly creatures beautiful and sexy! As usual, I can never see the plot twist coming so I am left with a racing heart sitting there saying "no way!" Great job Bella!

[amber eagan]

Ready for the next book

I'm really enjoying all of the books written by this author... I ha e ready everybbsingle one. Although, I am Beginning to fell as though the weeks I spend waiting for the next in the series as torture... I am reading all 3 of the series right now, waiting for the next in each series to come out. Hurry Bella!!! I'm dying!!

[nat _lovestoread]

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!!! 😱

[Deb]

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.

[Shay]

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.

[Connie Fogg-Bouchard]

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

[Bree]

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.

[Antoinette]

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.

[Narrissa charles]

Great read

Love reading bella books it keeps me wanting more, can't wait for the next installment, bella did a great job on her books, am not going to give anything away if you want to know about it, trying reading it yourself......all am going to say is i love it all.👍 up bella.

[Diane Thomson]

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.

[Kimberly]

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!!

[KandyMay Poff]

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.

[Gemma Shepherd]

Loving this series

I'm loving this series of books from Bella! I love all her books and these don't disappoint. I'm loving all the characters in this series,can't wait for the next one xx

[Brooke Ashleigh]

Could not put this down! So many complications along the way! There's a couple different missions that go down here and a dragon species we meet. Then we venture back to vysanthe and ohhh holy moly!!!! Can't wait for the next!

[Judith Davis]

Notebooks 4 Ventures by Bella Forrest

This was an excellent book as always. Bella never fails to impress me with her books they have excitement, love and adventure. Keep them coming !

[Jim Nessel]

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

[Cat-]

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.

[Mark Brandwein]

Tremendous Story!

I am so focused on this series that I can't wait to continue to read the next book. Such an amazing storyline and Bella Forrest is an exceptional story, teller. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a fun adventure .

[Lisa Welch]

Just keeps getting better

This series takes you on a ride through space with varied species that will blow your mind .. With lots of twist and some truly on the edge of your seat moments

[chritine tullock]

Again Bella does an amazing job but to short

These books should be wrote together into one book 3 of them should be one book! It is a short story

[Katherine Kernor]

Too much

Too much money for too little story. Very disappointed in these short stories bein passed off as books. I feel taken.

[Mrs Nicola Robertson]

Good

Good but short. Left me wanting more. Those queens are crazy. Love navan and bash and ronad. Still too short though

[Joanne Williams]

Brilliantly done

This is getting better one of the best stories and love all the friends personalities humor, love . All Working together. Looking forward to next one .
