Intriguing

Lyra and Dorians journey continues. Whole new planes surface to battle against them. Roxy has her own division now Together they all have a new monster to battle who actually in its own way is trying to help them. The monster leads them to Kane who was lost during the neck. Read the book. It's captivating.

Getting Better

What a change of rhythm this book has, it's not like the other books in the series.

Each of the main characters from the previous 7 books were all in together, but this book, the chapters are based on the individual character. Lyra, Dorian, Roxy, for example, have their own chapters as they continue to fight against the turmoil.

I hope Kane and Roxy, Bryce and Arlonne, can develop their interests with one another without the curse being in the way.

I also hope that they do find Lyra and Dorian's parents.

It would be interesting to have the arbiters come back into the story.

Can't wait for book #9 in 4 days time!

[Hazel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has to be the best book of this series to date. Lyra and Dorian are searching the leftovers for any sign of survivors after the barriers were fixed. Things seem to be a mix between the mortal an immortal plane but unlike anything any of them have come across including a strange creature that seems to be behind some of the disappearances. With wierd abilities the team have much to learn about the creature.
I absolutely loved this book. It kept me gripped and on the edge of my seat the whole way through. I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the next book. Bell's books just seem to get better and better

[Lisa Sutherland · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm loving this series. Glad we heard more of kanebut the leftovers are mad and worrying. Love some of the new creatures and new people. Glad to see some more relationships blossoming. Can't wait to see more of these and find out more about the leftovers. It's so fascinating the new places and creatures. Keep it coming Bella.

Darkwilds

The more I read of the series the more I want can't wait to see what is going to happen next.

[Vlada · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one was pretty interesting!

[THall · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am rooting for Roxy and Kane

[Tracy Mc · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best book of the series! Have I said that before, lol? I love how well-planned this series is - and now earth faces mysterious woods & what lives within...

I'm eager to find out what comes next. Romance, characters we love stepping up to new challenges? I'm hoping for some good news

Season 2?

I feel like I'm reading a tv show. The first 7 books were season 1. Everything finished up and now I'm starting season 2. It took me so long to get into the first "season" in not sure if my like of the characters can keep me reading through this new "season".

[Betty · Rating 5 out of 5]

I truly enjoyed reading this book tried to find book 9?? Please don’t leave us hanging. We need to know how the story ends.

[Amina Kara · Rating 5 out of 5]

What can I say about this?! Another brilliant installment in Lyra and Dorian's journey, this time searching the Leftovers (bizzare areas that are the aftermath of the meld) for survivors who disappeared during the meld.

It was definitely a page turner and had ne hooked from the start! It had plenty of tense moments that had me holding my breath as I waited to se what happened next.

I love the wit and sense of humour that helps lighten the mood at times.

I also love that we had chapters from Roxy. I love her sassiness and it was interesting to read her journey as nervous team leader at the start, to a more confident leader by the end of the book!

Look forward to reading the next book in the series!

Poor Ghost.. Save Kane

Nothing like feeling sorry for a monster Ghost. Ghost turned out so much different than I thought he would. I think he was used and controlled. Roxy to the rescue for Kane. Talk about being inside someone's head. Taking it to another level here Bella did with Roxy and Kane. Lmao @ him being there for the date with the idiot. Who talks about a date with someone else when you are on a first date? I mean really that's a disaster for sure. I like Roxy and Collin. I would prefer them in team Lyra and Bryce. The twins have no business being in the field until the can control themselves. Ridiculous! What a strange environment that this book took place in a good created by Ghost tunnels.

Every book gets better!!!

I have loved every single book and they just keep getting better. I honestly thought that they would end at book 7 and would have been happy to end it there but somehow book 8 got it's claws back in to me and has me begging for more. I loved the change in tempo and how we can now read from Roxy and Dorian's point of view as well as Lyras, I don't think I'll ever get bored of these books so please don't ever stop writing them. I can't wait for the 9th book to hopefully read more of Roxy's story :)

[Victoria · Rating 5 out of 5]

Everytime I think I have this series figured out and I think I know where the next chapter is going to take me everything changes and I am left needing to know what comes next. I need to know more about the Pocket plains, the hooded figures and the children. And that's without Dorian and Lyra's parents!

Roxy and the Hellraisers had me in absolute stitches. I love the way the group has gelled and the dynamics of them. The twins are bloody amazing and I love how Roxy is with them. And Kane.... Gah!

I can't wait for Florida!

[barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Totally hooked!

I just love the characters and this beautiful world she creates. I got lost in it. It plays like a movie in my head. I can’t wait until book nine comes out. No clue when it will be released with all the publishing issues. Crossing my fingers she is ok and that it is soon .

[Sue Ann · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love all the books I've read so far

Bella Forest books are definitely great reads, the only catcher tho is you can't seem to read the quote series. Not sure when or why it starts, but it is frustrating. I read a lot and lo e book series. Wish there was a better way to finish these series.

[Katie Santa · Rating 5 out of 5]

like always bella somehow finds a way to keep the story going but I am especially interested in learning more about the left overs! I can’t wait till the next one which isn’t till August. (gasp 😱) I cant wait! and I also LOVED seeing Dorians POV!!!!

[Kelli D Whitla · Rating 5 out of 5]

Exciting book

The world survived the meld but it is so different now. New characters and monsters make this an exciting book. Can't predict what will happen and can't wait to read the next one!

[Linda Boyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great Read!

I really like that the characters are now branching out into new territory. Working on trying to have a relationship against such great upheaval.Can't wait to continue the journey!

[Linda Marks · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have really been enjoying the evolution of this story. The authors imagination amazes me and I eagerly await each new continuation of the story. The characters in these books have grown to be some of my favorite fictional friends and am looking forward to getting to know Cam and Chanty better.

[Tina Oeffler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing

This series just keeps getting better and better. Bella Forrest has such an amazing imagination and know how’s to draw you in and wanting to come back for more. Looking forward to reading the next book. Thank you Bella for such a great adventure.

[Tequila · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such an exciting book! I wasn't sure about continuing the series after reading book #7, but I'm glad I did! There is so much left to explore after the Meld and I loved getting the points of view from the different characters.

[Sherri Morris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very enjoyable great reading

I really enjoyed this book and loved the characters. I can't wait to see what will happen next for Lyra and Dorian and for the rest of the crew and what is going on with this other dimension and for that creature that died trying to help them.

[Marie Clifton · Rating 5 out of 5]

New exciting twist

Just when you things will be at peace for Lyra and Dorian a new problem comes along. Along with their friends and family they new challenges that never existed before.

[Bobbie · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best author by far. I couldnt put the book down. Amazing stories. Hope to read more from this author.

I can't wait to read the next chapter in the series. I can't get enough of Bella Forrest books. She is great.

[Amber Wilburn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love the series

I love the how everything is changing and the descriptions. The way the characters grow and adapt. I need the next book though. The links appear to be broken or it wasn't released on it's expected date. I truly hope to read it.

Vampires and other spooky beings

Loved this series,looking forward to book 9,very different from twilight but most enjoyable,it was interesting getting into the heads of all the different characters.

Fallout

Well now that they are in the mortal plane there are leftovers to be investigated. Plus, finding all the missing people. This book was a great read and I'm looking forward to the next book.

[Mrs W. J. Webb · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this 8th book but so disappointed that I am unable to get book 9

I have enjoys all of the 8 book that I have read. Bella writes in such a Way that has kept me hooked. I am disappointed, though, that I cannot get book 9

[Chioma-Patricia Oglesby-Onyeka · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another phenomenal story

BF continue to weave a storyline worth following. The evolution of Lyra and Dorian's characters and their relationship has kept me engrossed in this story and I can't wait to see where they go from here.
