Great read!

As always a fab read and things really got interesting. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book and look forward to it.

[Eleine Velez · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dissapointed.

Disappointed. I used to love this series. To the point of even dreaming about all the characters, but now I find so many errors that sometimes I have to force myself to keep reading. Reading a chapter in a character's POV and then he talks about himself in the third person. Maybe the author forgot who's POV it was but it completely takes me out of the ASOV universe running into errors like this. I'm not going to stop reading the series, because I want to know what is going to happen to the originals. I just hope maybe the errors stop.

Excellent! Captivating! A real page turner keeping you on the edge of your seat. Bella did it again. I am eagerly awaiting the next novel in the series. I can not wait for someone to make this series a movie, at the same time a movie would not give this story any justice. What her brilliant mind has devised will be nearly impossible to duplicate.

A deadly example is made

With both groups reunited they get right down to business and split into 3 groups to go on seperate missions with just a few staying behind as a base. Kailani loses control of her powers and kills some allies in the process. Ta zan's flight plans are delayed along with someother things and he decides to take it out on Derek. Bogdana's secret is revealed and it's quite a shock but definite game changer. I really enjoyed this book especially when some couples finally acknowledge their feelings and do something about it.. There was so much going on at all times. Looking forward to what happens next.

[Brittany Johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow. The shade of vampire books are still so great even now that we are on 65. Bella gives us the budding romance we all love as well as the non stop adventure and twists we have come to expect. So much progress happened in this book and let me say there were some big surprises I was not expecting however with so much going right something was bound to happen. Another great read and I can’t wait for the next chapter in this story.

[Heather Morrill · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it

Oh my gosh I think Bella gets more creative and caniving with every book! I never saw what cassiel did in a million years I was completely shocked! I thought it was creative how the hermissi saved them from the perfects! Ofcourse i have to acknoledge all the love birds i love reading about them falling in love I'm excited to see who actually gets together(eeek). The ending though holy cow I don't think I can wait for the next book to come out to see what happens.

[ken hales · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Hazel · Rating 5 out of 5]

As always Bella never fails to deliver. This book lives up to its name with deceit coming just when you think the shadians are finally getting somewhere. It is fullnof suspence and excitement, with a little bit of love and hope thrown in. Thankfully we won't have to wait long for book 66. If you haven't already done so, pick up a copy today and get reading.

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely can't fathom what I just read, with its complexity, emotion, plot twists, and revelations!!! How does Bella Forrest keep us so incredibly on the edge of our seats? I'm literally salivating for the next one. Our beloved founding characters, new ones, already cherished ones with newfound characteristics. It's just so much fantastic, awe-inspiring reading. I'm never, ever disappointed!

[Veronica · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hidden truths come to light...

Much intrigue, deceit, half-truths, loyalties, determination, and love. The journey our Shadians are upon is a fast, bumpy one full of danger and challenges. But they are strong, determined, and will not be stoped from rescuing their people and taking out the evil that is Ta'Zan.

[nat _lovestoread · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG!!! 😱

How does Bella do that?... How can she get better and better even after so many books in this series?... This book is AMAZING!!!... I was on edge the entire time, so much fight with the perfects, secrets unveiled, betrayal, small victories and that ending 💔😢... Can't wait for the next book!!! 😫😰

[Teresa Johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!!

As usual, Bella always keeps her books exciting and addictive! I absolutely love the Shadians and their strong family unit and care for others. This series has definitely been my favorite of all times. It literally keeps me on the edge of my seat. Can't wait to read more!!

[Katy Head · Rating 5 out of 5]

Never Fails to Impress

I’ve never read a Bella Forrest book I didn’t fall in love with. The characters are so well done you feel like you know them. Ending a series feels like the loss of a friendship. I’m always left wanting MORE! I’m addicted to the Shade of Vampire series. They’re a definite must read!

[Lynne Tuniewicz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Shad Ian’s

Fabulous series. It’s difficult to wait for the next book. I suggest to the author to make new releases available much closer together as the reader can easily forget where the prior book ends and the new one begins as there is no recap with each new book

[Elizabeth Choi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Five stars

I would give more if allowed. The non stop action that follows our hero's is amazing. It keeps you turning page after page just to find out what's next. I love the people of the shade and gasp! Thank you Bella Forrest!

[Nikki Echols · Rating 5 out of 5]

Damn good read

Honestly, Bella's ability to put a story together, and continually keep you on edge is amazing. Could not put the kindle down. If you made it book 65, I don't have to convince you...

[Nancy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hermessi

[Darla · Rating 5 out of 5]

Shade 65

Awesome book again. Now that the shadians are attacking they are having to pay because of it. Tzan is crazy. Will he really kill Sofia. I hope not. She the true leader in my eyes. Can't wait to read book 66

[Tonya Mason · Rating 5 out of 5]

Here comes the Lies

As the GASP team starts coming together, more Perfects and faulies come to their aide. Unfortunately not all have good intentions. As more die and lies spread Sophia and Derrick are torn from one another.
Lives are hanging on unknown hope.
War is here!!!

[Chali’Inaru · Rating 5 out of 5]

Moving right along

Let's get this sob once and for all. I'm getting angry now. Tarzan will go down and his perfect that don't realize that the world will be a better place without Tarzan

[Lisa Welch · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cliff hanger alert

Wow not oNly about the cliff hanger it's a good one lol excellent book and loads of deceit thrown in too but as per usual the people from the shade are relentless in the pursuit of fairness and the rights of people who are innocent

Wow

So many surprises some you might see coming but so many you won't. I think they have pushed Ta'zan too far this time.

[Heather Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]
