What an awesome book! This is not Bella’s traditional vampire book, but it was phenomenal! Im convinced that anything she writes is ALWAYS going to be over the top. This book was great. I don’t know how she was able to separate herself from her A Shade Of Vampire books to create a whole new type of vampire and give it a twist with a syfy effect! You wont be disappointed. It had me on the edge of my seat. I was so jittery with excitement to find out what was going to happen next it was hard to sit still. This second book was just as good as the first one in the series if not BETTER! I love the romance between the characters. Its amazing to watch them develop into two new beings once they establish a relationship with each other. All I can say is keep them coming Bella!!!

What a fantastic book. This is book 6 of Bella Forrest Hotblood Series.
It has major adventure, romance, a little drama, humor, theft, and mystery. It’s all rolled into one book. Riley really has become an icon in her own right and there is nothing stopping her. That’s pretty good for a human I have to say.
I know I say this all the time but once you start reading it, you just don’t want to put it down. I even take my iPad to work with me, so I can read Bella’s stories in my free time. I absolutely love this series and you would be a fool if you don’t read all of Bella’s books. Well Ok, not a fool but you’d be making a big mistake if you don’t.
Thank you, Bella, for such fantastic books. You are a great writer and I hope you never stop.

I don't understand how Riley and co always seem to get out of every situation so easily. It makes for rather unbelievable circumstances that none of them have been killed yet considering they are always fighting such dangerous people.

That being said this was still a thrilling book with a lot of unexpected plot twists and some new friends thrown into the mix. I'm liking new character Stone and Xiphio makes for some funny moments. We finally get a wedding though not the one i was expecting and i love how Riley and Navan's relationship goes from strength to strength.

The cliffhanger was great on this one so onto the next.

Omg...noooo

This is getting insane!!!! The little parasites gotta save them somehow...Ronad, Lauren, Angie &Stone deserve to love through this somehow though the ballot is still out on Xiphio 😀 this war is about to be crazy though!!! I'm hoping to find that both Bashrik and Navan are immortal and don't know it...Kaido's plant did something to Riley and when you add to that that serum she drank and the visions she had 😨😱😵

I have loved all of the books in this series so far. The only thing negative I have to say about this book in the series is that I didn't like how two of the bestfriends were fighting for part of the book. It seemed off with the way the series has flowed. Other than that I cant wait to find out how everything comes together at the end. Looking forward to the next book.

Too many words

Honestly I thought that everything that happened in this book could have been summarized. The interesting part came toward the end and then it was left for the next book. I can't believe the next book isn't the last, these series has gotten way too long. Four books would have been enough.

Amazing

I've just read all 6 of these books in the last two weeks and when I realised the next one was not out yet I nearly cried. These books have everything you could want in a book. Drama, romance, action, supernatural. I'm so wrapped up in the story and can't wait to find out how it end all whilst feeling like I don't want it to end. A definite must read.

Hotbloods

This series has been fantastic but I think Allies has been the best yet. It is a "can't put it down" book. So much action and excitement and wonderful love stories as well. All the characters are interesting and unique. Thanks Bella for continuing to keep us well entertained.

Nearing the finish line on this series and honestly kind of glad. I think it has run it's course. While still mostly entertaining, the characters just aren't hitting me like they did originally and are falling a little flat but it's still a good read. Two more books! I think I'll take a break to read something else and then come back for the last two.

Action packed story

This series has something for everyone, plenty of war and fighting, sweet romantic moments, aliens and otherworldly adventures. This story is about a group of humans banding together with some like minded aliens to save the world from destruction. Once you start reading you will not be able to stop. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I'm in absolute shock at how this book ended. I knew it would! Yet, I'm still overwhelmed by the ending. I'm in shock and awe. Who is the traitor? Please hurry Bella and get this next book out! I need to know what happened to everyone!

This is getting a little dragged out!

Ok so the first they books were amazing, however the series is getting really dragged. I am going to read the next book when it comes out, but if the book is just as dragged out as this one I am so e with this series.

Boom six of eight

Honestly, this is probably my favorite book so far. Other then one unnecessary mushy scene that lasted two chapters I have enjoyed this book the most out of the others.
