A Dawn of Strength

The Shade was our home. A place we would fight for. A place we would die for.

Man, these books just keep getting better! The last book set the wheels in motion for a pretty epic showdown between the residents of The Shade and the black witches and thats exactly what we got in this book. This book went from 0-60 in about 1 chapter and kept the pedal to the metal the entire time! Once again we get to see the residents of The Shade (now more varied than ever) band together to protect their home against this newest threat. Weve seen it before and its one of the things I love most about this series. I love the sense of community and how so many different types of people/creatures can come together to help. There were so many little twists and turns that took place in the midst of this all-out war, some big decisions were made and some big discoveries about one character is also uncovered. A few times I was very nervous for the fate of some of the characters, theres a particularly heart wrenching scene towards the end of the battle that had my mind scrambling trying to figure out if the author was really going to go there or not (youll know what I mean when you get to that part). Oh and remember the dragons in the last book? Well theyre back in a BIG way here and I thought it was awesome! It looks like there are two more books coming out to wrap up Rose & Calebs story, and then will we get Bens story?? I sure hope so! But regardless, if Bella keeps writing these books, I will keep reading them!
4.5 stars!

I know Book 13 was considered epic . . . but Book 14 blew it out of the water in my opinion! This installment was so full of action, love, self-sacrifice, unexpected “hotness”, etc., that I literally could not put it down! What a wild ride! Prepare yourself for feeling every emotion in the book (at one point I stuck my head in my freezer just to cool off . . . holy crap on a cracker . . . talk about hot and bothered)! I am so freaking excited for the next book I am already counting down the days until its release date! In the meantime, I think I’ll read this one again!! 😉

Jackpot! Another home run! Bella has knocked it out of the park – again! A Dawn of Strength is the fourteenth release in Bella Forrest’s spellbinding mega hit series, A Shade of Vampire and it totally rocked my world – AGAIN! Like thousands of my fellow Shaddicts, I’ve been hooked from the very first book of the series and now anxiously await each release. I simply cannot get enough! I love this series! I was turning the pages so fast, my Kindle Fire couldn’t keep up! Just when I think there’s no way this series can get any better – Wham! Bella dazzles us again with another riveting narrative that curls our toes and leaves us breathless, begging for more! This is a paranormal saga so unlike any other I’ve ever read. It is exciting, original, imaginative, very well developed, well executed, thrilling, fast paced, riveting, action packed, mysterious, suspenseful, enchanting, heartbreaking, heartwarming, seductive and oh so romantic. These are only a few of the words that come to mind after reading this incredible chronicle of the Shade, its inhabitants and its enemies. The dialogue is smart, intelligent, exceptionally well written, well edited and flows effortlessly. Although the story is compelling and the dialogue is exceptional, it’s truly the wonderful, comprehensive cast of larger than life characters that makes the biggest impact. They are fascinating, captivating, intriguing, engaging, endearing, downright sexy and just out of this world! Literally! They seem to explode off the page, grab your imagination, capture your heart and hold you totally enthralled from beginning to end. Forrest expertly combines these elements to craft a stunningly brilliant masterpiece of paranormal romance filled to the brim with action, adventure, fantasy, mystery, suspense, magic, supernatural beings, love, loyalty, heartbreak and hope. Handsome, compelling vampires, beautiful beguiling witches (both good and evil), power wielding warlocks, super sexy werewolves, hideous lumbering ogres (except Bella and Brett, of course), handsome devious dragons, a very loyal hellhound and much, much more! I love it! I never tire of visiting my friends of ‘The Shade’. It always feels like returning home. If you love heart wrenching paranormal romance, heart breaking angst, tantalizing magic, out of this world fantasy, spine-tingling suspense, hold your breath action, malevolent enemies, evil machinations, unexpected plot twists and heart-pounding adventure, then you will surely enjoy A Shade of Vampire series. Buckle up my lovelies! It’s another wild, wonderful and thrilling ride! This is a series – not a stand alone story and the books should be read in order of their release – and it does contain nail biting cliffhangers that will leave you on the edge of your seat panting for more – which I love! Bella always keeps us on our toes but lovingly rewards our patience with each new release. Well done, Bella, very well done! I can hardly wait to read Book 15! Charmingly captivating, seriously sexy, powerfully compelling and delightfully entertaining!!!

It gets more exciting as the next book. I can’t wait to read book 15. These books are the best!

This is a great book. I love this series! Once you start reading you can’t put it down. Every book gets better and better. I simply cannot get enough! The action, the romance, the mystery. This book has it all. When you think you’ve got it all figured out Bella puts in twist and new characters to fall in love with. Bella Forrest is a fantastic writer. She knows what we want and she always delivers. You won’t be disappointing.

Two thumbs up!!!!
