74 books in and I still cant get enough of The Shade! I love revisiting old characters and having them interact.

[Shanae oliver · Rating 5 out of 5]

What is it?

Is sherus a hermessi child?I'm so confused as to what may happen that it's driving me crazy not being able to future it out. Cutting the action off 87% of the book is wrong!!! I could have done without the preview of a book I was planning to read anyway...I'm pissed about it because it's getting so good!

[Cathleen Erwin · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am addicted to many of Bella Forrest book series -- Shade of Vampire is my favorite. I wait with eager anticipation for the release of each installation to Kindle Unlimited. I'm enjoying this latest iteration as GASP seeks to save the universe from the Hermessi ritual. However, I do find that I'm growing a little weary of the formula of focusing on a large cast of characters and trying to advance multiple relationships while also moving us through a very exciting string of events. The relationship development worked so much better in the earlier books of the series that revolved around fewer central characters. That being said -- I've enjoyed getting to know all of the characters throughout the series and eagerly await learning their fates. I do find myself skimming through the sometimes trite romantic developments typically found in the midpoints of many of the books and series.

[Amy Avalos · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love all of these books I've read 1 through 74 can't wait to see how this mission ends, all of this is awesome!!!! except The relationship that I'm seeing and I don't like it Eira and Tarael I really hope some how some way they can get Inalia back I want her for Tarael not Eira, they don't seem compatible or have that sparkling connection like Inalia and Tarael have if someone can come back from the dead theirs certainly a way to get her back too, I'll keep on reading and hopefully this couple don't wined up together!!

[Adriana Baxter · Rating 5 out of 5]

I literally read this book in one day & a half. Finally some romance!! All the couples are coming along very well, i seriously loved all the romance in this book, now i got to say the old Bella’s writing is back and i am totally loving it, we lost 2 people even if we didn’t know them well i felt for all the characters i can’t seriously wait until the next book the action is just out of this world, well done bella now i gotta wait a whole month not thrill about that!

[Lynne Rainbow · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've been a shadian since book one with Derek and Sophia. I can't get enough series after series. The stories continue to grip me however I have struggled to get into this series until now, this instalment is the best book of the series so far. With the hunt for the missing pieces of Deaths scythe and the relationships finally cementing between the characters it was hard to put down and I'm actually looking forward to the next one.....

[Angela · Rating 5 out of 5]

You will love this book!

I’m loving all the new romances coming out in this book, but hate all the bad things gasp as to deal with. Having to sacrifice a member ( I didn’t see that one coming) and taeral’s father missing just puts more on the team ( like they don’t have enough to deal with already) like really can’t they catch a break already! I promise you will love this book and will have difficulty putting it down.

[nat _lovestoread · Rating 5 out of 5]

Devastated!!! 😔😢

I can't find the right words to describe how I feel right now... Shocked, devastated, sad, angry, desperate... Brendel is such a 🤬&$@%... Thank God more Hermessi are helping our crew and they were able to complete the first part of Death's mission... But no without a great loss 💔😭... Now they are back at the Fire Star to locate the second piece of Thieron and are received with shocking news about Taeral's father 😳... What will happen now!!! 😩😰🤪🙈

[Vickie L. O'Connor-Wildonger · Rating 3 out of 5]

Too short

The percent of the beginning rehashed what happened in the past book then this story ended at 88% then gave a 12 percent preview of another book. Frustrated with books that do that. I am into this series though I also started another. Don't mess with my series. I could read and like bigger stories. I hate novellas unless they are free downloads to interest me into a new story but not attached to the one I am reading now.

[Terri · Rating 4 out of 5]

Must Read!

Bella has done a fantastic job of continuing the storyline. Things get really heated in this book. I got emotional while reading. I didn't see a crew member having to die, surprise.
Definitely a book I recommend.

*** I have Kindle Unlimited, I used that service to read this book. ***

[Lisa Welch · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story line is getting so complex with so many different angels going of at once, it is just pure brillance, love how not matter what none of the characters give up, and always battle on, even staring death in the face, quite literally. Cant wait to see where it all leads and what will become of everyone. role on the next one

[Lisa Sutherland · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book had my emotions on a rollercoaster ride. It's one of my favourite in this series yet. I love how the characters all come together and finally stand up for what they believe in. I could cry waiting for the next book. Amazing is just one way to describe this series.

[Carla Martinez · Rating 5 out of 5]

My favorite this season so far. Loved the romance on this one. The fae finding a way to hold off the ritual made me really happy. Let's just hope it's enough time for Tae and his crew to find Death's scythe.

[Whitney May · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg

What can I say! Bella has done it again. A piece of Scythe is such a great book. There were things in there that I didn't see coming. I cannot wait for the next I installment. The series has come along way since the very first book "A Shade of A Vampire".

[Tina Oeffler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Unbelievable and Wanting more....

Another exciting and anticipating book by Bella, I was feeling so many emotions in this one. I laughed, I cried, tense was ready to just end Brendel. So much is happening, I just want more, I’m hooked. Thank you Bella Forrest

[Nancy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cruel Death

Awesome fast paced read with lots of action and mystery,magic and twists and turns. A sacrifice made, an unexpected death, a father taken. Awesome storyline and the interaction between the characters are entertaining. Great read.

[Sherri Morris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great series very enjoyable

Wow! Like I said before each book keeps getting better and more intense than the last and I can't wait to see what will happen next for Taerel and his crew and what happened to his father.

[Denise Esh · Rating 5 out of 5]

So many wonderful relationships building, and so much grit being shown by the characters through everything they have to face to meet their goal. As always, I'm very impressed by the story building and the characters. Can't wait to see what happens next.

[Chali’Inaru · Rating 5 out of 5]

Almost there

As much as I thought this season was a bit boring from the first book of this season. I quickly changed my mind. It's been a challenging exciting ride. I can't stop so let's keep it going cuz entertainers get beep handed to her. I've just had enough of her.

[Veronica · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! Twists and surprises...

We see the heroes determinedly pursing Eirexis as the next step to saving the dimensions. A well told tale, building upon the previous ones. It leaves us on a cliffhanger, and I cannot wait to read the next book!

[Natalie Pearson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Supernatural

What’s not too love I’ve been reading this series for over a year, and as much as it’s easy to follow and interesting to find more and more out, I’m not sure what else can happen x

[Vicky Zambrano · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Piece of Scythe

Another good book and exciting chapter for the GASP personnel. The Fire Prince's father is missing, will Tearal and his crew be able to continue their mission to save the universe's planes? Can't wait to read the next book.

[Jennifer Kaser · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not the first one to make me cry

I don’t usually cry while reading these books but this one got to me. It makes us wonder how we would react if it was us who had to die to save everyone else in the universe. Would you take that leap of faith?

[Ashley Lusenhop · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was absolutely amazing! I'm so happy there is finally some romance going! Book 75 is about to be spectacular!

[Heather Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bella always knows how to keep her readers on the edge of their seats. I love how all the characters have developed and come into their own. I can't wait for the next book.

[Kat · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing! I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book!!

[Lynne Tuniewicz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great Series

The next chapter (book) in this series can not come fast enough. Please do release them closer to each other!!!

[Elizabeth Rightmire · Rating 5 out of 5]

How does she do it?

As always Bella drew me in, the only downside is waiting for the next book. I could get lost in the world of The Shade forever!

[Sara · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm not liking brendel very much

Hope tearal and his team beat the bad hermesis
And tearal dad to survive.
Can't wait tearal is
Can't wait eira and tearal love to grow

[Kimberly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Every time I start a book in this series i cannot put it down! It's never boring and I can never figure out what's going to happen next! Can't wait to read more!
