Too many books

I do love this author but the amount of books I feel are getting out of hand. I've been an avid reader since book one but I feel each story line gets drawn out far too long. I'm starting to lose interest on each one. I will keep reading until this last set is finished so that I can know how it ends but will probably avoid this author for a while.
Overall I think the book is 5 stars. Just really tired of drawn out storylines that could end sooner or be put out in bigger books to limit the number.

Taking to Long

I love the books don't get me wrong. They are wonderful. But this particular storyline is taking WAY too long to play out. It seems like I'm always waiting for one more book.

Dragging it out too much

I love the story line but dragging it out between so many books has gotten quite annoying. There is no real purpose and solution to each book but rather just dragging along a story.

Saga continúes.

Woah this is still awesome. I must confess not as nerve endings as all the others, but still worth 5 ⭐️.

This one is more about the Reapers, Darklings and the first 10. I live the chemistry between them all. GASP has not anticipated the turns and re-edits that hve form. The Alliences aren’t what they seem, and the Spirit followers are as dedicated as ever Will the Seniors be able to help?

With the black fever still threatening, Unending still unaware and someone on the inside, can GASP AND THE OTHERS ever get ahead of Corbin, Danika & Petra. 🤔

Happy Reading!!!

Shade of vampire 85

What another great book. In this we are seeing the coming of a war. Daniska and Petra is dead Corbin brought spirit back. The unending has awoke yet she's in valines body. Alot of drama. Can't wait till the next book as it will show who and how they fair in all of this violence. Totally recommend this book above the 13 year of age, depending in maturity, probably the 16 year would be better. Thank you bella forrest

100% the best book in this series so far. It was so intense in parts. Love,love,loved it. I couldn't put it down. While the crew are still one step behind most of the way they do manage to get some very significant victories in. Bella ended the book on a real cliff hanger. I can't wait to find out how things play out in the next book. It can't come soon enough.

Amazing

This book was so exciting and sad at the same time. The suspense was killing me, I couldn’t stop reading because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I can’t wait to see what the next book is going to bring to this amazing story. Bella Forrest never disappoints, she always keeps you wanting more. Thank you Bella for wonderful adventure.

Love the books. No spoilers in the review!

I love Bella Forrest A Shade of vVampire series. 85 down and hopefully a bunch more to go. I do feel like Bella is getting very wordy to stretch out the books to complete each seven book episode now. I wouldn't care if the book was a few page shorter if the redundancy was omitted.

An ending

Unending must find her beginning in order to bring an end to the Black Fever. This is not easy, and our Shadians and allies must work separately in teams as well as together in order to help Unending. Another thrilling novel, and not long until A Break of Seals is released!

Amazing continuing story by Bella Forrest.

To survive and protect each and every one GASP and others need to figure out how they can free themselves and others from the evil darkness that is on and around Visio.

Amazing Series!

I absolutely love this series & writer!! I've read other vampire books before & none come close to this!! There's so many different supernatural characters and different stories. The reapers are my favorite Amazon should put these books back on their site!
