A Spell of Time

I think its great that even after all these books, this series still has the ability to surprise me! This series has always been full of twists and turns and this 10th installment was no exception. Based on where things left off in the last book I was pretty sure I had a good idea of the struggles that our crew of The Shade would face in this one, but instead the story took a hard right and went down a completely different path than I was expecting! In this book we get much more of Caleb and I am as intrigued as ever by his character and was glad to see more through his eyes, I missed him in the last book. We also get snippets of a few other characters that we havent heard from in a while, so I really liked those updates and I liked the opportunities for future storylines that those snippets opened up.

In the last book we saw how Kiev and Mona were woven back into the story and I think that integration was solidified further with the events in this book, we saw even more characters and places from that series come into play in this book. I think the author really did a great job of tying those books back into the overall storyline, it was seamless and cleverly done. If you read my other reviews on this series or the Kiev trilogy, its no secret that I am not Monas #1 fan but I actually found her to be likable in this book so maybe theres hope yet for her to win me over! Only time will tell.

I have to say, there is one chain of events between Sofia, Derek and Kiev that when it was first presented I had to fight the urge to roll my eyes. It seemed a little cheesy and absurd, but when it played out, it actually was quite comical and I found myself laughing out loud at what was going on. I love that in addition to all of the action and adventure in this series it can also make me laugh, really these books have a bit of everything!

I really love that since the author has returned to The Shade that shes popping out books every month, its just long enough in between so you dont mind the wait but not too long that you forget everything that happened in the prior book. And the books are such quick reads that its so easy to squeeze them in when a new one is released. Ms. Forrest has created such a great world and strong characters and because of how she cleverly keeps expanding this world I think that this series can continue on for quite some time!

I Love this Series! I would give this 5 stars like I did all the other books but I’m irritated.
The books are Not very long & you can fit about 3 books together to make 1 book. But instead we pay $4 for each small book. I love the series but considering how many books you have to buy & how much it’s costing I’m starting to wish I never started the series! I feel the Author is milking us for all she can. I’m amazed how long this series is dragging on. I’ve stated before that she’s my new Favorite Author. But I’m starting to change my mind on that because she should not drag a series on so long & charge so much.

Bella Forrest has done it again. The pace is steady through the entire book and I couldn’t put it down. I enjoyed the depth of the characters and how she has woven the stories together. She has also taken us on some twists and turns in the emotional story of Caleb which piqued my interest. I wasn’t expecting the turn of events. Bella has a way of sucking you into the story and leading you where she wants you to go, while engaging you in the characters, leaving no one behind. She is an artist in her craft. Sofia has a moment of comical proportions in this book. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. Just be prepared to read it in one sitting because you won’t be able to put it down.

This book drove me insane in a good way. Just when it gets to the most exciting point which I have been waiting for since the last 2 books, it ends!!!!! It is so well written and the characters come alive as you read it. All I know is Caleb and Rose better have a chance to be together now but I feel sorry for Micah and hope he is some how rescued from the island. I can’t believe I have to wait a month to find out what happens next!

Sophia goes to some extreme lengths in order to get Kiev and Derek to be civil to one another. Rose befriends someone new who ends up betraying her. Abby and Ben seem to be getting closer while Aiden finally gets the courage to ask Adelle out only to find he is too late. Caleb once again saves Rose but will they make it home safely…this and so much more awaita in this story.
