Are they getting shorter or is it just me

I loved these books so much. I have people laughing at me when I tell them what number I am on. I say but it is so good I hope it doesn't stop. I read hot bloods and liked that also. The other not so much. Any way a lot of errors and why can't Ben thin himself out anymore? I am just saying stop some of the other series and keep writing this one.

[Mikayla · Rating 5 out of 5]

Was great, loved seeing the original characters in this one as well as some new.

[Sarah reid · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very repetitive

[Natasha · Rating 1 out of 5]

Seriously? Has she finally run out ideas now? Genetically modified clones? 🤦🤦🤦

[Kelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Vacation.... nope.

Another great start to a new Season. I’m glad all the Founders are back in this one, along with the kids. 😁

[Larrisa Shaffer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yay the originals are back!

Im so glad that we get to have another story that focuses on derek and sofia and all of our faves! And it really does mention almost everyone. I think it would be really cool to see how all of our favorite characters go on different missions in order to save their family. For example, i would love to see dravens trip to the fae planet in order to enlist their help. I also feel like hazel and tejus havent gotten much of a plot in a long time so bring them back too! Im also glad we got to hear from harper again, but i need to see more on her and caspians love story! I hope bella writes their wedding and honeymoon because they are my favorite couple. One thing i do miss about the original books is that each book felt more or less like a complete story. Remember with derek and sofia, there were storylines with the maslens, the hunters, and the elders all in one season? Now it kinda feels like each novel is just a tiny part of one story, and it really takes the whole season to resolve. I wouldnt mind that as much if each book was truly full of important events but sometimes i feel like most of the space is being taken up because there are literally 10 couples per generation. I understand that this season sort of brings all the characters together so theres a lot going on, but other than that there really is no need to fit so many storylines at once. Like last season we had harper and caspian, Avril and heron,zane and fiona, caia and blaze, jax hansa, amd scarlett and patrick?!? Thats honestly to much for one season lol. Remember when it was literally just derek and sofia. And then after that it was just rose and caleb? Thats so much easier to read and it helps us readers connect more with the couple. That being said, i do still love this series and all the characters. The storyline of this season is as unexpected and exciting ad ever, so i cant wait for the next book!(:

Love 💘it !

I absolutely love these books in this series . If you haven't started this series you definitely should . I started this when there was about 20+books already out . Glad I didn't start when it was brand new because when I read a series that I like I just keep going . This is 100% my favorite series ever from the first book I haven't stopped until I had to . That was when I was all caught up . I honestly hate waiting for New releases to come out . Most authors wait to long to release the next in a series in my opinion , at least authors I've read . When they do that people lose interest . Bella doesn't leave you waiting and that's what I love . What I love even more is her imagination is just AMaZING!! I don't know how these thoughts come to her but I love that they do and that she shares of with us . While waiting for releases I just started other series by her . They are all AMAZING AS well . I've read almost all of them . I'm currently in between this series and Hotb?kids another amazing must read . Every time I think she can't possibly take the readers on another adventure she proves me wrong . She continues to take me places I'd never imagine keeping me on the edge of my seat . I absolutely love her so much , so so much . She's simply AMAZING just GREAT! I can't get enough . Love her , love her , love her!!!!!😆

Just can’t get enough of this series

Ok so you all know Derek, Sophia, Lucas Vivianne and the others are trapped. The founders have gotten themselves all but found!!

It’s up to the kids to try and do their thing, but it proven more difficult then ever. They’ll need to make smarter moves, and better allies.

This one tears at your heart!!!! It’s full of unbelievable and outright brilliant writing. The author has thought of everything!!!!!! Just when you think you’ll know what happens, bam, life changes in a minute!!!!

Would love to write more but...... I’m off to the next one!!!!!

[Crystal · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 stars because

If you've also made it to book 61-62 in this series and still continue to read might as well give it 5 stars.
This series went from kidnapped on vacation to like star trek mixed with war while kidnapped on vacation.
I loved some of the original Derrick and Sofia stories along with their kids and friends but this part of the series is getting way bizarre. Although it's not quite as slow as the Story of Hazel and Tejus so got to give it some credit there.
I have to know what happens to the founders so I'll continue reading it.....

[Angela · Rating 5 out of 5]

So many Emotions

Wow Bella Forrest has finally made me hate a character in one of her books. I have dislike characters before but I really hate Ta'Zan and what he is doing to the members of the Shade. I cried so much in this book over the loss of so many family member and allies. I feel there pain and I know that they will rain down justice upon Ta'Zan's head and I can't wait to read it. I feel like the Shade is apart of my family. Well done Bella I can't wait to see what happens next.

[nat _lovestoread · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mind blower!!! 😱

I still cannot believe what has just happend to GASP!!! 😩... My heart is bleeding!!! 😭... I can't believe there is someone stronger than our founders and GASP stronger members, haven't seen anything like this before... But I know then will rise and defeat this "perfect" beings, I know they will 🙏... Can't wait for the next book to read how Ta'zan and his creations get theirs as*** kick!!!... Go Derek, go GASP!!! 💪👊💪👊

Despair

On another planet far from the Shade, the Novak elders as well as other elders are now fighting for their lives. As their family and friends realize something is wrong the team comes together from all over for a rescue.
Little did any of them know, they were going to face off with the most dangerous enemy they ever encountered. Fear is at an all time high.
Who lives? Who dies? Fine out more in book 62.

[Lisa Welch · Rating 5 out of 5]

[M · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome book!

I definitely thought I would get tired of this series after awhile and stop reading it but Bella Forrest sure knows how to snag you in! Over 60 books and I'm left wanting more! I honestly can't wait to read the next book and see what happens next! Honestly I have no clue how she keeps coming up with so many unique predicaments to get into and how to get out of them!

[Terri · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!

I was so happy to read this story about my two favorite Enhanced characters, Brie and Kira. The adventures these two went on were amazing. I loved the ending. One of the main things I really wanted to happen for Kira, happened in this book. I’m looking forward to see were the next book takes us.

[Elizabeth Choi · Rating 5 out of 5]

No

I really enjoyed this book. In true Bella Forrest fashion she pulled me in and drive a spike in my heart! Defeat, anger, tears, oh I can hardly stand it! Then the twisted tail ends in a cliff hanger. I really love these people, so I am rooting for some good news! August can't come soon enough.

[Darla · Rating 5 out of 5]

Shade 61

Tha great story i think any person would enjoy regardless of age. I will admit its getting harder to keep up with the characters after 61 books but in the end its worth it. Im anxious to see how the will get off this planet. I could not imagine a perfect being on our universe lol.

[Bea · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found this book really hard to read. Theyre getting a little too repetitive now. The same thing has been happening for the last couple of 'seasons' and its getting a little boring unfortunately because i really did enjoy reading them. Ill carry on reading because im 61 books deep and need to know what happens but i hope theres some changes soon

[Amy Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one had me about to have a Panic attack! I had to put it down for a bit then come back to it. I don’t won’t to give any thing away. But if you like vampires, wolves, dragons, witch and warlocks. Then this is a series you should definitely start reading.

[Nancy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perfect killers

Awesome read fast paced and lots of action, a vacation turns into a kidnapping and maybe the destruction of the worlds, can the characters save the world with these new creations. Love the interaction of the characters and the storyline is great

[Julie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best book so far!

Bella Forrest is writing an epic story for the Shade families! I loved it! Things are starting to get real now! I just hope all is well with the GASP Team! Don't want to say, don't want to spoil it! When is the next one!!!!!!

[Diane Thomson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another fantastic Bella book

What a story!!!! Really interesting and gripping, the characters are brilliant as usual, but this has some very interesting new ones. Thanks very much Bella for another new worldly story.

[cindy hackney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this series

I find the books so enjoyable. I love the different creatures and the trouble they can all get themselves into. The adventures and serving whatever comes their way. I can't wait for the next book!

[Asha · Rating 4 out of 5]

Spoiler alert! Right along with the Novaks and their friends even I was shocked at their defeat. I’ve become so accustomed to them winning anytime they assemble. Bella did an excellent job with this book. Looking forward to seeing how they become winners again!

[Kelci D'ann Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing

Bella’s work is as amazing as always, she always leaves me wanting it to never end. And it when it does I’m already aching for the next book. She’s my favorite kindle author!
