Shadow Realms: The Complete Series
In order to defeat a monster, one must become a monster.
Vampires live amongst us, feeding off the innocent and succumbing to the demons controlling their desires.
I tried to pretend they didn’t exist—until the government kidnapped my brother because he holds the genetic making for the cure to eradicate the vampire disease from the world.
Or so they claim.
I know their true motives, and there’s no way I’m going to let them keep him without a fight. Unfortunately, there’s only one way I can become strong enough to go up against them.
Become a vampire myself.
Except, I never expected to come across a ghost from my past who happens to hunt vampires. Now, infiltrating the hunter world, I’m surrounded by those who want to kill me and only a few who want to save me.
But I’ll do whatever it takes to save my little brother. Even become the monster I vowed to kill.

Every book I have read of Kelly Carrero keeps you wanting to read and not stop until you finish. This series I have read the books before so you can read my review there. I will guarantee you will not want to put this set down. So go immerse yourself in being Kali.

This series includes Shadow Realms, Circle of Embers, and Prophecy Untold. The books have a different approach to vampire stories. The heroine, Kali, is well aware of vampires. But when the government snatches up her 15-year-old brother, Mason, to use his genes for an alleged “cure” for vampirism, she knows she has to rescue him at all costs. There was much more to their “plan” than that! But to secure his rescue, she needs to be more than human, needs the vampire strength and senses to do what needs to be done. She needs to become one of the monsters. And also needs to deal with the complications of those who now look at her as the enemy!
This series is really exciting and will keep the reader intrigued with every page that is turned! With the complete series here for you, there is no waiting for the next part of the adventure – you have it all at your fingertips! Grab your copy and enjoy! If you need a deeper review of the individual stories to decide about buying the complete series, they are each reviewed separately and available to you.

4 stars.
This is the first time Iv’e read anything by Kelly Carrero, and with Shadow Realms, I was not disappointed.
Straight away the reader is flung into action in a vampiric realm. Our heroin is Kali, and she is on the search for her brother, taken because his blood type may hold valuable properties. Valuable to some, not for others. Kali’s little brother is all the family she really has.
Kali has a theory that walking between the realms of vampirism, without becoming a full vampire, she will be endowed with gifts that will help her save her brother. But is there such a thing as being a vampire while not actually being one. Has she condemned herself while trying to do good, in an evil world.
To Kali, there is humans, vampires, and demons she will have to navigate to save her brother, but she soon finds that there is another faction. Vampire Hunters. A shadow faction, that prevents her from carrying out her plans, and just might end her life. Now, she needs to fight to survive.
This was a fun read, and ticks all the boxes on suspense, mystery, action and romance.

I would like to especially thank the author and the Booksprout site without whom I would not have been able to read this trilogy.
I was immediately attracted by the cover of this trilogy.
You learn right away that to defeat a monster, you have to become one.
Vampires are among us and they feed on humans. The main heroine tells us that vampires don't exist until the day the government kidnaps her brother. Because he might hold the gene that would destroy all vampires. And to save her brother she's gonna have to become a vampire. And she's going to meet a person from her past who hunts vampires. She's going to infiltrate this world of hunters and risk getting killed despite a lot of people trying to save her. She'll try to do anything to save her brother.
A trilogy read in one afternoon, so much so that I hung on to the story so captivating, addictive, full of suspense and twists and turns with endearing characters. Too eager to reread this trilogy in paper format.

This book was very hard to put down. It was very fast paced and it had great characters. The story is about Kali. She becomes a vampire in order to save her younger brother who was taken by the so called government. But she believes that it’s not true. On the process of trying to find her brother she runs until the Hunters that protect the humans. She see’s someone she can’t believe is really there. She ends up finding out that she is someone special. She finds that she has been lied too. And realizes there is really are good groups that are helping humans. Will Kali be able to save her brother and the world? Will she be able to figure out her feelings for Max?

Shadow Realms tells the story of Kali, a 17-year old girl. When the government kidnaps her brother, she has to do everything she can to save him. The only way to be strong enough is to become a vampire. I really liked the story. It was fast-paced with many plot twists. The world-building in this series was amazing! When I started reading this series, I was actually expecting something else, but the story was different, in a very good way! I always wanted to continue reading. I would definitely recommend this series for anyone who likes to read fantasy about vampires, mixed with romance and action. These books were the first I read of this author and I'm planning to read her other books.

This is an interesting set of books. Her little brother has been abducted and Kali is determined to save him in order to save herself. She has taken the first step down a dark road in order to save him. This is a good set of books. I would recommend them.

I loved this series. Once I started I could not stop! The characters are well-developed with histories and backstories that projects into the series. There is action and adventure, lessons in life and love, and good verses evil all wrapped up in a modern world with a paranormal twist. I cannot wait to read more from Kelly Carrero!
