OMG, I'm speechless!!! 🤯😳😵

What the hell is happening on Visio???... I still can't believe all the things our GASP crew have discovered so far... The one thing I knew, is that hateful man involvement, it didn't surprise me at all what he turned to be in that bloody cult 😠😤... And I'm sure there is so much more yet!!! 😱😩🙈... Also, the more they know about the Aeternae as a species, the more marveled we are (they an me 😁)... On the good, very good, side, I'm melting with the flourishing relationships between Esme and Kalon, Tristan and Valaine 🤗😍... I feel like a teenager, giggling at every sweet, intimate scene they star ☺️🤭... Besides Visio, what Death and her Reapers are discovering while looking for the rest of the Tenners is baffling, how far did Spirit go and why??? 🤔 😨... Aaahhh, I need the next book NOW!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Exciting,non.stop.action

I deducted a star purely because I'm getting so frustrated waiting and guessing about the main story. Who knows what and who is in order n it?? It's like an Agatha Christie mystery,dragging the finale out.

I'm saying that, for the.most part, I did enjoy the book although it's becomes by predictable that with new teams in New world's we're magically going to have a love match. If I wasn't so invested in the characters I would have given up by now as not.only does the storyline drag out but then the.Author makes you wait a month.for the.continuation.

Fans of.paranormal, adventure fantasy novels will enjoy.
Read in order for the best experience!

OMG They need GASP

All I can say is what the He—. There is so much going on, I don’t know how they are ever going to figure it out. There has to be a first tenner (Reaper) there with the acknowledge that Shantal has of Death magic. Not to mention I heard them say the Master a couple of time. Wait until Death finds out what has happened to all her Reapers. I am excited about the new relationship flourishing within the group, can’t wait to see where they lead. I am so ready for the next book, the wait is going to kill me. Lol 😆

[Kelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Aeternae…oh my!

The start of this “Season” is one of my favorites. This new world and it’s strict and shady ways. I’m really enjoying this Crew from GASP! And Lumi is fired up!! Can’t wait to see what happens next!

[Sonya · Rating 5 out of 5]

Intriguing

I have hooked on this series since book on in 2018 I think. An this new new chapter in the Novak family story is proving to be just as interesting as exciting.

Q

[julie dowson-frost · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great read!

I am really enjoying this story of Death! But why am I paying for half the book to be another book completely......😐

[Cara Armstrong · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yet again

Yet again bella has managed to keep me hooked and wanting more with one og her fabulos books about the shadians at one point i was questioning if she was just longing it out with how many there but she never ceises to keep me coming back for and that alone should say how good of a writer she is...

[Marisol Acevedo · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series does not disappoint

Well things aren’t as they seem. In fact they’re worse then Starva. Sure the locals get paid for their blood but it doesn’t make it right. GASP is beside themselves but stick to their original plan of not interfering in the locals way of life.

However with Nethesis dead and things still going crazy, this may soon change.

Things are getting more complicated as things begin to unravel. In true Shadian fashion, there are more questions then answers.

Will Lumi make it to Visio and uncover what is going on. Will Death figure out why the Skythe is there and how they learned to use them.

Hmmm. Off e the next one.

Can’t stop reading

These books just keep getting better and better! And I’m saying this not because they start out bad no no no! They have been amazing from the start and I can’t stop reading them! A shade of vampire throughout all the books are some of the best I have ever read and I don’t think I want them to ever stop! I just can’t stop reading and living these adventures with all the shade crew!

[Karen Bicknell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is getting so in-depth it's hard to put down. All the new things we learn about Visio will having to take a step back and say "Whoa". Then we have the outlines of who are the deceitful ones and who will be the ones lost to love. Will death ever be free? How much more will Derek and Sophia take before they stop playing nice. Idk, give me the next book and we'll talk.

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

I loved this book like all the Shade books but how can they stand being on Visio with all the problems!! They need the all of GASP to solve all these things!!! The Darklings, the Red Thread, the murder, the Black Virus, the Daylight protein..... What's next?? Go Bella, go! Keep them busy!!! Love it!!!!

[Adriana Baxter · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can’t honestly describe this season! I am in love and the action is beyond amazing.. this new world is full of surprises and i can’t wait for GASP To figure out what’s really going on! It’s so nerve wrecking and this just the beginning i seriously love it!!!!! Can’t wait for the next one

[Ashley Lusenhop · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow Book 79 had so many ups and down my heart is still racing from it! Book 80 is going to be insane I can not wait! Job well done Bella another awesome and great season! Sorry Derek, Caleb, Tejus, Draven and Caspian there is a new boy in town! Kalon!😍

[Marcy Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

They are seriously not enough words to describe the suspense of this new world! There is so much going on action, edge of your seat anticipation wanting to know more of what's happening. I lost sleep over this book but so worth it.

[Darla · Rating 5 out of 5]

The shade book 79

Well Nethesis is a ghost and seely got caught by zolton. The ghouls are after Nethesis. Esme got hurt and she and kalor almost kiss. Sa
esme was furious when she found out zoltan on killed Nethesis and had esme hurt. So have to see what happens...

[Sara · Rating 5 out of 5]

So much obstacles

Wonder what is zoltan end game to transform reapers into ghouls, and who is the master, can't wait for the next book.
I hope nethi comes back to the living I would be sad for her to be gone.
Oh my esme and kalon; can't wait how their romance progress

[Nancy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ghouls and Reapers

Awesome read fast paced and lots of action, awesome storyline, great characters and plenty of secrets. Love and romance blossoming between the two sets of characters, death and destruction, can they all be saved.

[tanya hand · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another good book

What can I say i love Bella's books the only down side to this is the books don't go on long enough and we have to wait a month for the adventure other than that a great read x

[Denise Esh · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW!

Things are getting intense and I am once again chomping at the bit to see what comes next! For once I am glad I waited a bit to read one of Bella"s books since the next one is out and I can dive right in!
