A great end to the season

A wonderful end to the season and it made me nostalgic reading from their perspective, Mali g me want to read it from the beginning.

[nat _lovestoread · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing end of the season!!! ❤️

I was afraid to read this book, of the outcome of this war against Ta'zan... Once I started, I couldn't put it down, it's such an intense journey, I was on edge the entire time... I felt every emotion our Shadian crew felt as they deal with every obstacle in their way to finally gather with the fae and the truly war began... And that ending was far more of what I was expecting, I'm so happy... Can't wait for the next season to start!!! 😍🤗❤️

[Kelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another fantastic Season with the Founders of The Shade. This one had a mild battles but the build up was wonderful and tense. I'm glad the good guys always win!

[Andie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bla does it again!

Ah the final of series 8. It went so quick.
We have the big showdown coming up. There are deaths of course but who are we going to lose?
Finally, the Hermessi can intervene and make all 5th e difference to beating Ta'Zan but hopefully wipe the perfects minds.

If course there's romance along the way and thank the God's for the Noval family tree because I'm awful at remembering who belong to shoo and what generation they are from.

Can't wait to read the new series. Book 1 of the new series is out today and Fred on Kindle Unlimited.

Thank you Bella for your beautiful writun
As someone who is who is housebound through a chronic illness, I love reading your work. It gives me such an outlet to escape to another dimension and honestly I feel like I know the characters. They are incredibly well developed each with their own attitudes and aptitudes.

I digress. So will Ta'Zan finally die and will the Hermessi come through? I would wait that favor is though that the Hermessi wanted.

Definitely read it! If you haven't started from the beginning of ASOV it's OK. You can come in on it and won't feel lost although I highly recommend you read it in order.

Season 8

Ok..obviously I am a big seeing that have all 8 seasons. However...I really did not enjoy this story line very much. My least fav of all. It was just boring and it seemed that even the author was bored. I understand it was an attempt to create an indestructible enemy but it just didn't work for me. Give these people something new to do please! There are just too many characters now. Take us back to why we fell in love in the first place. Fighting on different planets is just getting really stale. Your readers love Derek and Sophia and all the original Shadians. Take us back in time! It's also become ridiculous how the characters are running for their lives and yet at the same time their supposedly ogling some hottie next to them. All these love scenes are just repetitious and boring! Give us some tension some drama! Please! I have read every book you have written and will continue to but as a fan... Please give us something fresh. Your a genius I believe in you!

Never cease to amaze me

Thank you for your hard work Bella! You are by far one of the most brilliant writers out there, you have outdone yourself yet again! And the thing that puts you above the rest.... is your ability to stick to your unbelievable timelines, it’s one of the most admirable traits as a writer, always on time , and never more than a month ( that I can remember). Love this whole book from season 1 to the 69th book. I hate waiting forever for the next installment, by the time it comes out , I had already forgotten the characters, so greatly appreciate your commitment! Keep them coming!

We don’t know what we think we know!

More surprises in A Purge of Nature. We see the Shadians and their new allies come together to free the Perfects and eliminate Ta’Zan, an extreme narcissist, however it isn’t all smooth sailing. We see strength, loyalty, sacrifice, suffering, and success.

I enjoyed A Voyage of Founders. Seeing the past and present characters come together was wonderful. Trying to remember everyone and their spouses and species has been a challenge, so I would like more detail than simply the Novak family tree for reference.

I was hooked on A Shade of Vampire from the very first book and continue to be a huge fan. Definitely a great series to immerse yourself in.

[Marisol Acevedo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nature in its purest form

Wow, so much is going on. Ta’zan is a psycho, The Arch-Perfects are Insane, The Perfects are crazy and the Faulties are hopefuls. Allies, enemies, or friends, it’s so hard to tell.

So much at stake, GASP continues to put all their training, and experiences to the test. Willpower, courage and love will all be put to the test as will their endurance and perseverance.

Nature will claim what belongs to it and will settle for nothing less, but what’s the price??

The final battle will elate and declárate the GASP team and their new Allies. For their has to be a beginning before an end right?!?!

Off to the next book!!!!

[Karen Bicknell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is it, the end of a new chapter is coming. I love the way in this book we hear from each of the ppl about their thoughts and feelings as wells as others around them through them. It's is like a 360° look at how everyone is doing. The one big question is will the Hermossi be able to help, they've asked for a specific number of Fae but 1 died, how will that effect the outcome?

[Heather Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another thrilling book by Bella. It's amazing to see how the original crew we first fell in love has evolved after all these years. The unbreakable bonds they have formed and the sense of right and wrong they have acquired. I was so excited to see Derek and the others in action again. I can't wait for the next season! Thank you, Bella, for making this wonderful world!

[Denise Esh · Rating 5 out of 5]

Way to end this story!

As always, the story that had me biting my fingernails resolved beautifully! I am also thrilled that this is not the last ASOV story and that the next one isn't too long of a wait. The sneak peak was wonderful and I look forward to the start of the next story in the series!

[Sherri Morris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very enjoyable this series gets more intense when they go out in the field

I really enjoyed this book and loved the characters and how they came together. I am glad that everything worked out for them and they were able to get rid of Tazan be was evil for what he was doing sad that some of the perfect who was helping died but at least a hero.

[Darla · Rating 5 out of 5]

Shade 68

A great ending to a great series. Plus you get to read the first 3 chapters in the following book. I'm just glad I have been able to read all books so far. It has been an honor Ms Forrest. Sorry limited info as book was just released

[L · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing

I don’t know how Bella Forrest does it, but her imagination and writing is amazing. She keeps us on our toes and always has great stories and characters you can connect with. I love this series and am glad it’s continuing.

[Elizabeth Choi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book

I can't get enough! This season was amazing! Each book filled with amazing adventures and action. The relationship between the characters is amazing! Thanks Bella Forrest

[IdRatherBeReading · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved

I loved the ending book to this story! There were hero’s who’s lives were lost but we will never forget their sacrifice. Love blossoms and develops further and I absolutely love the growing each character has gone through in this fast paced suspenseful book.

[Angie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Satisfying Conclusion to Season

I really enjoyed this journey with Derek, Sophia, and the rest of the original crew. Cassiel was a baffling creature. We will never know his intent by playing both sides. Looking forward to the new season!

[Nancy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Agrarian Justice

[JoAnne B. Hines · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another Great One

As always Bella did a great story line! Looking forward to more Shadian adventures and hoping they unravel the secrets so all vampires can walk in the sun with Derek!

[Lisa Welch · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg how tense was that

This is a real tense book from the get go. Kept me up till late t night trying to get it finished. It's so sad in places too that it made me cry. What a final episode just brilliant.

[Tenna Chatman · Rating 5 out of 5]

68 books filled full of adventure

I can't believe that I've read 68 books in this series and each is just a good! What amazing talent as a writer! The characters are so complex and loveable and they get into SO much trouble. Love it!

[Kimberly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!! I can't get enough of these characters! I was really sad about Kalisto and Araquiel but everything worked out in the end!

[Sara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg couldn’t stop reading
