A Gate of Light

A Shade of Vampire #91

by Bella Forrest

When the world turns upside down...

The rest of the real Shadians have been transported to the fake Shade and replaced by clones. Sofia, Derek, and the others are thankful to be reunited with their loved ones, but it comes at a price: they’re now trapped in the wrong dimension without a single shimmering portal in sight. In order to stop Hrista from destroying everything they hold dear, Thayen must lead his crew on their most dangerous mission yet—but the journey home proves longer and more unpredictable than they ever imagined.

Now finished with Anunit’s challenges and closer than ever to achieving their shared dream, Tristan and Unending make their way back to The Shade, completely unaware of the big switch that’s happened in their absence. They soon realize something’s not right, but with Death out hunting for the World Crusher and Hrista’s powerful magic cutting them off from the rest of the world, Tristan and a mortal Unending are on their own…
Perilous detours, unexpected friendships, and surprising twists of fate lie ahead—for heroes and villains alike.

Reviews

[Carrie Richardson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read every book in this series and I have enjoyed every one of them. As a matter of fact I enjoy them so much I tend to read them in one day maybe two if I try to take care of other responsibilities. So what I’m going for is I really really need the next book or should I say the rest of this mystery for the Shadians to protect everyone from. Come on Bella or Amazon let’s get this story moving I’m stressing here.

Getting better by the book!

I learned more about Order, Death, The Word and what their parts play in the universe. The Shadians have lost their island, The Shade to Hrista, who turned out to be Aunuit also, and Death and Unending never caught on. Astra is the key to everything but she needs the help from her friends to reach her full potential. So many things going on in this book and I can’t wait for book 92, but I must. August 20th can’t get here soon enough.

Bella Forrest amazes me on how she can develop a story and keep it going for her readers!!

[Sara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Never would've known that ununit was the same hrista

Awesome as always; hrista really fooled death and unending .
Excited to see if word gets involved in the next one and see what Astra can achieve with extra help.
Can't wait the next journey of Astra, and the rest of the shadian

[Christina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Astra is the answer

This book was so good! Jericho and Dafne confess their feelings, Astra taps in to more of her power and we finally learn why she may be the key to saving everyone! Got a good glimpse of Purgatory and learned some of the limitations Order, The Word and Death have. This series never ceases to amaze! Bella Forrest is a story teller like no other!

[Amanda McKenzie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I cannot say how much this book has got me revved up for an amazing battle! This book will suck you in and begging for more. Brandon and Astra have now made it into my top 5! Impatiently waiting for August 20th to get here!

[Tracy Mc · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was great - despite biting my nails while reading it lol. Without spoilers, I'd say that there is a heck of a lot at stake & I know my favorite characters will do their best. I just hope their best is good enough!

Im glad the next one is coming out in August!

[Katie Santa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow wow wow!!!!! this season like all the others is turning out to be amazing! I am so interested in learning about the berserkers and valkyeries! I love the new romance that’s starting to bloom! Ugh can’t wait till August! I love the Shade so much!

[Kerry Grey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Shade book 91

Absolutely spell binding.
Your imagination is outstanding.
So believable with the 3 dimensions.
The story line down right gripping, edge of the seat stuff.
Now to wait for the next installment.
Love your work Bella.

[Tina Oeffler · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG

I was so not ready for this book to end. I wanted more and I want to know what’s going to happen next. Bella sure does know how to keep you coming back for more. Looking forward to reading the next one.

[Gemma Shepherd · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another fantastic book from Bella

Another fantastic book from Bella, I love this series and can't think how it will end but Bella knows how to keep us on the edge of our seats! Can't wait for the next one xx

[Lisa Welch · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brilliant and sad

It is great seeing the next generation grow beyond the expectation of the parentage . But sad that they are getting once again into an epic battle of cosmic proportions

[Nancy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Trouble in the Shade

Awesome fast paced read with lots of action, twists and turns galore and lots of trouble going on in the real shade and the game shade and romance blossoming while the team's try to figure it out and death tries to take the world crusher.

[Kelli D Whitla · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's getting good!

Purgatory sounds awesome! Learning more about Order was what I wanted. Hrista is straight evil! The lengths she has gone is crazy! Looking forward to what happens with Death and World Crusher!

[Deb · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book 91 will keep you intrigued till the last page.

The Shade but not the Shade, shimmering portals and who are sneaking around and trying to kidnap people. What is happening and why? The Unending wanting to be human and married what is going on?

[Sherri Morris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very enjoyable great reading

I am looking forward to reading more on what will happen next for them and for death seeing her first child again. I hope everything will work out for them especially unending and the crew of the shade.

[Andie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing

The story gets thicker! I love reading from everyone’s POVs but one or two I’ve waited a while for and been very happy to read from.
Now how to sort this mess.....#shaddict

[Hillary Lowes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Where’s 92?!

This book was great. Little frustrated there’s STILL a publishing issue. It’s been months and it’s the middle of a series. Fix this! Come on! I’m so depressed and these books are my escape.

[Joanne Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Anita · Rating 5 out of 5]

Addicted

This series is better than any vampire books that I have ever read! My only complaint is that I wish there were more like them.

[Darla · Rating 5 out of 5]

Shade 91

I really enjoyed this book . I think deaths involvement is quite interesting. Unending is in her own situation. Astra finding out what she can do. Thanks for a great book

[Tom Riggio · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just finished book 91 of the series. Had a blast reading this series and looking forward to the next in line. 92 was supposed to be out a few days ago but it's not available yet.

[Kayan Sherrer · Rating 5 out of 5]

A good read I won't say anything else as I tend to blurt out all the twists and turns, You just have to read it yourself. Anything written by Bella Forrest is Great and enjoyable to read.

[Pixie/PageTurners Blog(Amber) C. · Rating 3 out of 5]
