There has never been a series that has given me as many goosebumps, made me want to scream for joy, and cry for lost ones. In literature world that seems to be filled with vampires and werewolves, this series is fantasically refreshing. I am in awe of how quickly I fell for Harmonia and Cadmus, but am pleased to say that they are now my new favorite fictional characters. This series is a MUST read!
This was another great book in the Bloodstone Saga, and once again Courtney Cole has inspired me to dig deeper and find out more about the histories she includes in her stories. There are very few authors who can create worlds that intersect with real life history and mythology who can make it realistic, interesting, and believable. Cole does this in all of the books I have read in this series.

What's more awesome than ancient Egypt? Why, Greek mythology of course! And what's more awesome than Greek mythology? FREAKIN' KING ARTHUR AND CAMELOT, THAT'S WHAT!
Man, these books just keep getting better and better. More romance, more intrigue, more action-this series is literally just such a joy to read. Not only is the story simply amazing, but it is just so great to read about beloved characters and places that are already well loved. Courtney Cole just fills this book to the brim with awe...more

I just have to say this author keeps blowing me away with these books. I’m totally and completely infatuated with them. I’d even go as far as to say that they may just be my favorite series of 2011, so here is my short, spoiler-free review because I soooo don’t want to give this plot away.

After I finished Fated, I shed a tear because I had no idea when the next book would be released. Much to my surprise, it was JUST released. I absolutely loved it and tore through the pages like there was tomorrow. I cannot wait for the fourth installment.

So those of you who have been following me for a while now will probably know that I LOVE this series!
I think I may in fact have a blogger crush on Courtney Cole's characters (and yes I just totally made up the phrase blogger crush!!)
So this is the third book in The Bloodstone Saga, there is no massive re-cap of book two. Which I'm grateful for, I don't really like massive re-caps. Just enough to jog my memory is fine with me! I was quickly reminded of book two ended and how shocked I was at the...more

The third installment in the Bloodstone Saga was another fun and imaginative read from Courtney Cole. I wasn't sure what to expect when Cole sent Harmonia and company to Camelot--I didn't know how she would fit that into the story, but, true to the uniqueness of the series, it worked so well.
Sometimes you just need a fun, completely fantastical story to help you escape from the real world for a little while, and this book did that for me.

Just when I thought this series can't get any better it did! I loved this book. I really enjoyed the adventure in fighting for the one that you love till death.
Nothing motivate someone more than saving the life of the one that you love. I really like that the main characters go deeper than ever before not only psychically but emotional as well. The strength that her loved one gave her is enduring. As the reader steps in another action packed plot line Harmonia (Macy) set out on a adventure to re...more

Let's start with the cover again. Unlike the first two books in the series, we get to see the face of the girl on the cover this time. Like the first two, the cover portrays the setting of the story, but it's a little less obvious this time around. Personally, as the series progresses, I enjoy the covers less and less. It's pretty, but kind of meh.
Getting to the story, it's set in a time period that I'm familiar with again, so following the characters is much easier. Which setting? Camelot with...more

I feel like this whole series can be described with words like rich, exquisite, romantic...the history of the stories and the world that was created by Ms. Cole are all of those things and more! Her descriptions are like a delicious banquet for for the mind. The plot itself is intriguing and engaging...the characters are enjoyable and have great depth. I was even brought to tears at one point...my current feeling is that I liked the first book better than #'s 2 and 3, but that could just be my m...more

I really love The Bloodstone Saga by Courtney Cole, so I had high expectations for With My Last Breath. While I enjoyed the novel, it was not as good as the second book in the series (Fated). Fated ended with a huge cliff hanger, and as a result, we got a lot of action right from the beginning of the novel.
Even though it was filled with the action I loved in the previous books, the romance wasn’t there. The love between Cadmus and Harmonia has always been heartbreakingly strong, but in With My L...more

With My Last Breath (The Bloodstone Saga #3) picks up right where Fated (The Bloodstone #2) left off. Just when Harmonia seemed to have everything she wants; husband Cadmus, mother Aphrodite, and father Ares; the Fates once again threw her for a loop when they demanded that she find Zeus's sword. To ensure that she goes after the sword, Cadmus is struck down and his soul is sent into the Wastelands to remain there until Harmonia is successful in retrieving the...more

After the cliffhanger ending in Fated, Courtney Cole delivers a fantastic third installment to the Bloodstone Saga. With rich descriptions, flowing narrative and sword-clashing action, this book does not disappoint! In this story, Cole gives us her spin on Camelot and introduces us to great new abilities, frightening new developments and heartwrenching new characters. I can’t wait to see where she takes us next.
This one takes place in Camelot. I wish there were more details around the setting there way there was in the first book with Ancient Egypt. So much happening in the story though, that the setting suffers for it a bit. At times, through the three books, I've gotten a bit tired of the "soul-mate" focus. It makes sense, but I think it is driven a little too hard at times. Still enjoying it though.
Loved IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT! By chapter 4 I was so excited at where we were headed that I'm pretty sure I squeed out loud. I was thrilled when Harmonia learned her true identity because of my interest in Greek mythology, but when Cole sent us to Camelot for Harmonia to continue her Quest for Zeus's sword... ya, there just aren't words to show my excitement. I feel that Harmonia was at her strongest in this book; really embracing her inner Goddess. So much happened and so much was revealed in "W...more
I didn't comment on this series earlier because I was hoping it would get better. The first book, in my opinion, was the best in the series - so far. I connected to the two female leads...but not the male love interest. Most of the relationships felt superficial...except between the two ladies (not a romantic one).
