So intense feelings!!! 😳🤯😩😭

OMG this series keep shocking me with each book release!!!... When we thought our GASP crew has the upper hand and will strike the Darklings, something happens and we start from zero again!!! 😩☹️
On the other hand, the romance is flourishing between our two sweet couples, sigh, so romantic 😍💞
Also, Valaine / Unending is making progress to free herself, not without pain or secondary effects, but she’s getting there 💪👊😉
Derek is still Danika's prisoner, but he's gathering important and shocking intel from the Whips 🤯🙉🙈
They got more allies now but, will that be enough to finally defeat the Darkling??? 🤔 😨
Can't wait for the next book, thank Bella is just a few days away!!! 🤩😍❤️

[Andie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Addictive reading!

Wow things certainly are getting 🔥on Visio!


SPOILER ALERT

The Seniors have come into play and Danika and Co are attempting to bring the Spirit Bender back by killing the Whips who have crystal shards containing pieces of his soul.

Corbin has found Iris and we have found out that Danika transferred shard to Thayen,her son, who she is happy to sacrifice. It's also to reason why Petra wants her son's back. To choose one for the transfer to sacrifice them, most likely Kalon.

Great series! Just this book...

I love, love, love this series! For some reason this book (only this one out of all 83) wasn't a page turner like the rest...I'm not sure why exactly. I just had a hard time staying interested. Now in saying that, it could have been me and my state of mind :) it's been a little stressful lately. So take this review for what it's worth. I am not giving up on the series it's been awesome!

[Tracy Mc · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's got to the point where i dont even need to read a synopsis of Bellas books before i read them. I know im gonna love it. And this one was no exception. And a tense read - for every small piece of progress our shadians make, it seems they find more trouble & more shocking news. I'm eager for the next book!

[Tina Oeffler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh My Goodness

This was filled with so much suspense, You never knew what to expect next. I am happy for Esme and Kalon and hope they make it out of this to have a future. Poor Thayen, he belongs to stay with Sofia and Derek. I am so done with the Darklings they need to be vanquished. Can’t wait to see what happens next. As always thank you Bella for an amazing Read.

Shade of vampire 83

Another great book. Due to sexual content just make sure the reader is age appropriate. Same and kalon are definitely closer. Valine is learning who she is. Many are dying with the black plague now Corbin has found their hideout. The action is becoming fast paced reading.

[Jackie Mayes-pehl · Rating 5 out of 5]

So much action! I would have never thought the action could get stronger than some of the earlier books but I had a very hard time putting this book down!! Even at the end I quickly switched to #84 to keep reading!! I love Bella and the way she writes and I hope this series never ends!!! I have suggested movies and tv series and plan to continue to do so!!!

[Sonya · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing

The story is becoming intriguing and exciting. Just watching the characters go through this adventure has me addicted. I am hooked to this series

This book has brought us full circle to the very first ‘A Shade of Vampires’ and appears to be finally answer some long needed questions. If your ‘A Shade of Vampires’ fan you truly love this season I know I am.

[Mikayla · Rating 4 out of 5]

Much Better

I much prefer this one to the last. It might have been that I took more time to read this properly rather than half heartedly listen to my Kindle read it to me. Though may not be suitable for younger teen readers as it does get very steamy between 2 of the characters for a couple of chapters.

[Amanda McKenzie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Every step the team makes they end up taking 3 backwards. This books has some big reveals making you want more and more! What Derek uncovers is terrifyingly cruel and unthinkable. Thankfully not a long wait to see what happens next.

[Ariane · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love it!!!

I’m a die hard fan of Bella’s!!! The book was amazing as always!! Can’t wait for the next one! I already preordered it :D please make them longer lol I consumed this volume in one day lol

[Jessica King · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG. Let me tell ya, I normally can guess most plot outcomes, however I missed a major one and my jaw dropped! This series just gets better and better and I couldn’t read this fast enough!!! Bravo Bella! I need more!

[Veronica · Rating 5 out of 5]

More twists and surprises

The fight against the Darklings continues, and more Aeternae history comes to light. Allies are being made, and hope continues amidst determining action and fighting for right. An ultimatum is issued, and the Shadians won’t back down!

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

Heart beat away!

Wow , I mean this book left me on the edge of my seat the entire way through! Those dwellings got to be stopped! I was left dangling on the edge of a cliff! Can't wait to find out what happens in the next episode...

[Ashley Lusenhop · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is by far one of favorite books in the series we get some old blood and gory scenes like from back when the Elders took over. As well as some steamy romance scenes. 5 stars in an understatement.

[Heather Ivery · Rating 5 out of 5]
