So emotionally intense!
Talk about emotional!! I was angry, then i was at the edge of my seat, meanwhile i was ugly crying and after all was said and done i was so happy for every character involved. I truly loved every single second i read of this book. Thank you bella!
Another wonderful nail biter edge of your seat read
Just when you thought you had experienced it all. Bella takes you on a heart wrenching journey of love, hate and never ending adventure. You will experience every emotion possible, you actual feel for all of the characters. Cannot wait until the next one to continue our journey. Loved it.
Death
Death has finally got her staff back together but she is missing. The crew and her children save her only to be still in chain by one of the original 10. Can't wait for the next book. Day walker anyone !
Love and Generations
I have been reading Shade since book 1. People can't believe that I have followed this series for so long, but Bella has a way of bringing you into the families and generation after generation the plots become so interesting and different then the ones before. The addition of the love interests that allow the next generation and the bringing in of the older generations is awesome. Love it, Love it.
A++++
As always Bella never disappoints. I can't wait to see where the new season goes no doubt it will be my favorite as I say with all of Bella's books she is phenomenal
Possibly the best episode
I really loved this episode even though I cried so much! It was really moving to read how the characters felt about what was happening around them.
The will to live is strong driving force!!
I loved that this book kept me on the edge of my seat. It gave me plenty of tears, both sad and happy. What the authors writes paints a very clear picture.
Beautiful and happy ending.
This story had lot of challenges and obstacles And I love how the team of tearal end up falling in love Love conquer everything . Can't for the next season what kind of journey the shade will have and obstacles and challenges will face.
Love it
I could not stop reading. The story was so intense it seem almost impossible to defeat but they did it
Great series
I always like this series. I'm not done with the book yet so I don't have a lot to say.

I love this series
If you like TWILIGHT this is WAY better sorry
This whole series is awesome it REALLY should be made in a TV show. It not just about vampires or werewolves. There is so much of a variety and doesn’t just end with the main characters A MUST READ!!!!
Love this series
Love this series
That everyone is going to be be okay
Always enjoy reading about the adventures And the love stories that comes out of all the bad I've never been a reader of anything I said I'm going to start reading The Shade of Vampire was what I started reading and haven't stopped THANKS MS BELLA FORREST
Great Book
Great book from beginning to end! Loved it!!
Loved it!!!
Great
Addictive needs to be a movie or television series
Loved
💗
💗
Live this series!
Been reading since she first released them. Addicted! I can’t wait to see where it goes next! Love her other books also
Love the series
I’ve liked all the books, but’s this one seemed to drag to me. It took me for ever to finish. Normally I read it immediately
Absolutely Loved this series.
This particular book had so many emotions. Thrilling and exciting and at the same time, I cried so hard and my heart broke for all of them. Then there was joy and happiness, I am beyond thrilled how this series turned out. I can’t wait to see what Bella Forrest has in stored for us next. I love the little bit of romance she touched in this one with some of the characters and look forward to more. Seeing how the couples come together and fall in love. There has been so much turmoil in their lives they deserve some much needed happiness. Thank you Bella Forrest for such an exciting and exhilarating adventure, I wouldn’t know what to do without my Shade books. Looking forward to many more, sincerely one of your biggest fans.
To The Death Crew
This book, it broke me. I cried oceans with my tears. This was a rollercoaster of epic proportions and I am exhausted!! I still have questions though.... I'm hoping later down the line I'll get some answers. But still, I loved this arc!!! I love that it involved pretty much everyone from all the previous arcs as well as some new faces. This was SO big! Literally cosmic in scale! What a crazy ride. I'm hoping to see all of the Death Crew and all our other friends in the future. I'd love to watch their family continue to grow. I also hope that maybe we'll catch some subtle acknowledgement from our few Hermessi friends that we grew to care about. Ramin will hold a special place in my heart. I don't Know why or how he became so important to me, but he is. Fire will never be quite the same for me again. On that note, on to the 9th arc! See you in The Shade
Disappointed
I understand this is a YA fantasy series. But I find it difficult to buy into the premise that every creature, including humans, are heterosexual males and females. It would be so refreshing for some characters to find love with someone of the same sex, and some characters to have more fluid relationships. The series is open enough to disregard interspecies relationships. Why is such a narrow viewpoint taken with gender, love and attraction, and commitment?
Truly EPIC! Taeral and the Death Crew astound!
This was an edge of my seat thrilling exasperating heartbreaking and joyful season! So many varied situations and plot twists. The Tenners are absolutely fascinating! I love ALL the characters from Herbert to Seeley to Soul Crusher to Death and all the good Hermissi. Outstanding world building. I have been more addicted to The Shade than any other series. I have 15 books I have neglected because of Forrest. Will be back for the discovery of sun walkers!
**** No Spoilers ****
This has been an amazing season 9. The conclusion has every character that I've come to love since book one. Every character is affected by the Hermessi one way or another. Tae has everything that is needed to stop the hermessi except Death. I could feel the emotions that every character was experiencing. Bella has brought this amazing season to an exciting conclusion. She even gave a little hit as to what will happen in Season 10. If you have not started reading A Shade of Vampire, you need to start reading book 1 now. •••••• I highly recommend this book/series! •••••• ~~ I have Kindle Unlimited, and I used that service to read this book. ~~
Wonderful
I absolutely loved this book. The build up is great, the anticipation of how it will all pan out just had me on the edge of my seat. Now, my only problem is the amount of time it takes for a new book to come out. I am sure anyone who ha read this series from the beginning may agree that for a while, we would get a new book every 2 weeks, now I fear that since our beloved author has started to write multiple series books, she is spreading herself thin. I try my best to not read each book to fast but it never fails I'm left waiting.
Love, love, loved this book!
Out of all of Bella's books I have never hated and loved her so much! This book will have you in tears both sad and happy! So many characters and she did not leave one untouched. Can not wait to see what's coming next season of the shade.
Be ready!!! Such a great book!!!!
Be ready! The ending to this series will have you hooked from the moment you start this book. I couldnt put it down. It was definitely an emotional ride but a great ending. I honestly don't know how Bella does it every time. Be ready, A Fate of Time will pull at your heart strings!!!
Major Year Jerker
I love this series and each book dives into plots that are so imaginative. I cried so much along with the Novaks, Vesta and especially when Zerial broke down. Oh, I could feel his pain. I kept thinking, the Fai can't die, but it was so iffy--kept me on the edge of my heart. I vote this series never ends, so do you hear me, Bella? If you love vampires and many other creatures, you are gonna love this series!
A crazy rollercoaster of intense emotions 🤯
OMG, I cried so much with this book, both: from sadness and from happiness... I felt so much thought every chapter, my heart is still sore of such intense feelings... Love, love, love this season ending... Can't believe Bella keeps surprising me, with that beautiful mind of hers, I really think she is our of this world, maybe from The Shade? 🤔... Amazing, awesome, phenomenal, there is not enough words to describe this book... And the best part, is that ASOV continues!!!... OMG I'm so happy, beyond words, love you so much Bella, your are THE BEST!!! 💖😍😘
Always a good read
I just finished re-reading the whole ASOV series. Happy to see there is a season 10. This was a good adventure overall. It's weird, the events leading up to the end were all surprising. However, the final outcome was predictable af. But after 80 books with one author what can you expect. I'm still excited to read season 10 tho. It's funny people always ask me what I'm reading, I tell them and they're like "Still?!" If they only knew!
Holy Darth!!
So the all powerful Death, isn’t as powerful as they thought, or is she??? Tereal the future Reaper and Hermessi child has more gifts then anyone thought. So without spoiling the book, I’ll say this is AMAZING!!! Now to the next series. Vampires 🧛♀️
Another Amazing Read
I stumbled across the shade of Vampire Series a few years ago. I fell in love with book #1, and proceeded to read every book. I just finished #77, and am waiting impatiently for #78 to release. How crazy is that? Bella Forrest is an amazing writer. She will not disappoint,.
Wow. Just - wow.
This series... I mean, seriously though... I have run out of ways to compliment Ms. Forrest in regards to this. This is a MUST READ!! The whole thing, from Book One, all the way to the point we are now. You'll be as hooked as the rest of us Shadians!
Great story!
This is a really good book by a very talented writer. The storyline kept me on my toes. I can't wait for the next book by this author. She is a very good and original storyteller! You won't be disappointed at all.
Finally no more Hermessi problems!
This sort of ended with a cliff hanger. Death will eventually come back and get Thieron. I have a feeling Seeley will comeback for Nethesis. There's something there for sure. So glad tge story continues to find the day walker protein!
Awesome
I loved how they dreamed about each other a and how true it worked out. I am so glad the Rendell got hers, she thought she was everything. Spirit was probably the worst character this time around. More wedding and babies coming
ASOV 77
This is one of the most wonderful endings to a series. With each cliffhanger, I desperately wanted for the next installment. After 77, you would think that it is enough and saturation level was at the max. It is not. I’m loving The Shade!
The shade 77
The end of another chapter in the Shade story. So glad that tae won in the end. So check lad the phantom dream world came true for the couples. Its also going to be curious as to when will death return. Would totally recommend this along with the previous 76 stories
A Shade of Vampire 77: A Fate of Time
This is the perfect series to read, as there are so many adventures and you get close to the characters and their extended families. Win-win any way you look at it!
Absolutely love this series!!!
I absolutely love this series and all of the characters!! I can't wait to see what happens next! A new adventure, and hopefully some new characters. I wouldn't mind the Reapers showing back up!!
One of the best
I loved this book. I couldn’t wait until the end to see how everything played out. I smiled and I cried (several times). I felt so much emotion throughout. Thank you Bella Forrest for this wonderful series!
Great series
I absolutely love this series. Derekl and Sophia's progeny have been wonderful to follow through trials , tribulations ,successes and failures. I'm now reading book #78
ASOV 77
Bella Forrest has had me addicted since book 1. It’s amazing how the characters have grown. How we keep meeting new people from all dimensions but still the originals are included. That Novak family is huge. Add in the Novaliks and just WOW! To the author: All of your books are phenomenal. I can read 2 ASOV books a day if I let myself. Thanks for being fantastical and down to earth.
As always bella is the best
If I could put 10 stars for the whole series I would but this book made me cry made me laugh and little made me mad but I absolutely loved it
Love all of Bella's books
Love all her books, she has written so many and still there is always new things to pull you in.
Death and Life
Awesome fast paced read with lots of twists and turns and surprises.Romance is blooming with the couples but fear rules their lives. Characters are entertaining and fun, love the humor and interaction between the characters. Awesome read
Good
I have enjoyed this series since the beginning. Easy reading and although the plot lines are similar in each book set, still enjoyable.
I enjoy this series!!
I have enjoyed this series from the very beginning and have read all the books. Can't wait to see what's next...
Hermissi who??
Talk about twists and turns! No one is unbeatable and nothing is set in stone.....the impossible will always be possible! Great read and continuation for the series! Ready for the next saga....
Get to know Drerik and Sofhie
I have read the entire series. All 77 books. Now starting 78. Bella Forrest is a great writer and her characters become part of you. Love the Shade Series.
Incredible Fantasy Series!
In the last two months I have read ASOV # 1 through #77. I was caught up in the series with the first book and cannot get enough of it. The characters come alive, the planet's are visible and the story keeps you guessing to the very end. If you like vampire stories, you need to read Bella Forrest!
Great Book Series for supernatural readers
I have loved all the 77 books I have read they keep me interested and wanting more.
Love the series
Keep em coming. This is my guilty pleasure. Can't wait to read the next chapter. Wonder what the other earthly planets will be like.
Can’t get enough!
I have read every book I can find by Bella Forrest. They all have been great but this is the most long running. The last few have not only had me laughing but crying as this chapter of their adventure came to a close. Keep them coming. I am an avid fan.
