A little disappointed.

Ok while I loved your books and look forward to them ever month, I feel like something is missing, you are missing the stories of the couple and how they get together and there dynamic. I didn’t review the first 8 books because I was waiting for the conclusion which I’m unhappy about, the whole point of this book was them getting the day walking protein and they are back to the way they where before without it, they got it but then it was all a waste of time. WHAT?? Where is the drama with the couples getting to know each and exploring what could be and the little mystery. Each book was short and it was all about destruction I was just a little disappointed. I figure with Sofia and Derek we would have gone back like it was before but no such luck. Hopefully you will let us get to know the couples more in the next series and give us a little more context. Ex: Amal and Tristan there was never even a conversation between the two of them the entire series, but in the last chapter they got together. REALLY. My favorite series was Victoria and Bastien.

Intense ending!!! 😰🙈😫🤗💕

OMG what an intense rollercoaster of emotions!!!... An amazing, page-turner, action-packed book, full of all kind of intense emotions, that will keep you on edge, and will give you the exact HEA we all wanted to read!!! 🤗💖... Every season keeps getting better and better, can't wait to read the next book, now with Tayhen, all hot and grown up, as the MC, and back at my beloved Shade, 💯 recommended!!! 😍❤️

[Hazel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! What a book! Absolutely loved this last book of this series. Bella had me on the edge of my seat for most of the book, and had me in tears at one point. By far the best book of this group. I couldn't put it down and finished in a couple of days, if you loved the other books, this one will not disappoint.

[Adriana Baxter · Rating 5 out of 5]

OH... MY... what a roller coaster this book was! By far the best book yet! It was completely twisted and it completely deliver more than what i expected deftly have some tissues and be prepared for a lot different emotions at once! BELLA FORREST YOU ALWAYS IMPRESS ME & pleas continue the shade Dont ever stop! Love love love!

The Word, Death, and Order

This part of the Shadians’ tale is breath-taking and full of emotion, suspense, action, bravery, and loyalty. We see them working to free Unending, to fight the evil Spirit Bender, and to restore order once again. Thankfully A Shade of Vampire will continue with A Shade of Mystery.

[Gomolemo Kuku · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great book. But I wasn't really happy with the ending(Can we have a death among the main characters? Life is not that fair anyway) . And everything being resolved with still like a hundred pages left made it hard for me to finish reading it. I have lots of complaints still but won't say them lest I spoil it for people

[Nichole · Rating 2 out of 5]

Should end here

The book was okay. Pretty predictable. But considering all the books had come full circle, it should be the stopping point for the series. And for this reader, it is. The books have become so dragged out, it’s become agonizing and even boring. This series started off great. The stories have potential if they just weren’t strung along between so many books.

[Tina Oeffler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing

Leave it to Bella, to keep it so tense that you can’t read fast enough to find out what’s going to happen. The were so many emotions, I laughed, cried and yelled to the point I wish I was there (in the story) to tear somebody head off. Another great read from Bella Forrest and I’m looking forward to the next one.

Shade 86

Another great book and a great conclusion to this story. Yes the shade members win. That men goes to live with Sofia and Derek once they won their battle. It was crazy and arms stays . the unending is with trust in. Death can be a little bit bad in her on way but the good thing no more spirit bender at this point. A new series is about to start and from what I read on the introduction chapters it seems good. I love how this author when one book is finish the next follows in the steps

[Christina · Rating 5 out of 5]

That was a great read.

I really enjoyed the final book in this "series" and I look forward to reading the next book #87! The Word, Death, and Order...the scene before Order was introduced was shocking! Bella never ceases to amaze with her genius imagination! Blessed that I found this author and all her amazing books!!

[Sherri Morris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very enjoyable great reading

I really enjoyed this book and loved how the characters came together. I am glad that everything worked out for them in the end and of course death doing what she does best. Bella Forrest did a heck of job these stories keep getting better and it had me going when spirit killed all of GASP but death brought them back.

[Sonya · Rating 5 out of 5]

Unbelievable

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.

[kathleen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent Series!

Books from this series never disappoint. I've been hooked since book one and am so glad that the series continues. Enjoying this world, getting to know all the characters, and watching good fight evil is a joy. Keep the stories coming, because I want to keep reading!

[Carrie Richardson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent ending to the latest story in The Shade of Vampire series. Can’t wait for the next book to start a whole new story in The Shade of Vampire Series. So so ready for book 87. I have read everyone.

[Kerry Grey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Keep up the great work and look forward to get drawn into the next series.
Cheers Kerry

Awesome Bella Forrest continuing story book 86

GASP and the Shade members are up against evil again. How will they get out of this and save more inhabitants from the Spirit bender and the rest of the immortals. They need to get Death out of her imprisonment to save them all.

[Amanda McKenzie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a great way to finish this storyline, Bella once again left us gasping, angry,sad, happy and shocked. Death showed her true colors and we get a glimpse and to where Bella will lead us next. This is the longest series I have stuck with and I have not been disappointed. Keep them coming!

[Nancy · Rating 4 out of 5]

[Tenna Chatman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderfully entertaining series

It's hard to imagine this many books in the series can still be so good. The characters are complex and varied, and the adventures are edge of your seat. Each series may be a little to long, but still excellent.

[Sue Barber · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh Bella out did herself on this one. So many ups and downs. On the edge of my seat the whole time. Absolutely amazing. LOVE this series.
