The Guardians #3
The Guardians III: Blood Vengeance
My name is Gianna Weston. I am Vampire. I was thrust into a world I didn’t know. Given a life I didn’t think I wanted. I have had my world turned upside down and my life shredded before me. All this time holding onto the love of a man who breathes life into me and I into him. His very existence sets fire to my cold skin. He is my maker, my husband and the father to my children. But even love can no longer fight the demons inside of me. Not after all the tragedies. The death, the pain, and the heartache are haunting me with a relentless vengeance. This darkness has me by its nails scraping sinfully at my core. It’s time to stop running and hiding from the darkness. These demons I speak of won’t let me rest until I accept what I am. A nightmare. A killer. A blood thirsty animal. Are you afraid? You should be. I. AM. A. MONSTER.

TGII I have to say WOW. Jen knows how to keep your attention and drooling for more. I waited for this third book and was given the great priviledge of being a beta reader.
Jen did not disappoint. The Book starts out after Gianna and Caleb are ruling over the Guardians. Her daughter has been kidnapped and she is trying to find her daughter. Gavin, Athena's boyfriend, even if her mom does not like has partnered with Gianna to find Athena. In the mist of all this Adonis is wreaking havoc all over the city keeping the Guardians busy. Like any home life in a community there is always backstabbers that love to just make trouble well Gianna has trouble dealing with that, well you just have to read it.
If I give you anymore you will not read the book. If you liked the first two YOU will love the last book. Jen does not disappoint and ends with a bang. She has become one of my favorite authors.
Well Done Jen. I can not wait for what you come out with next.

GREAT GREAT Finish!! I loved all three books!!

Adonis seems to haunt Gianna even in her dreams !
Gianna is brooding and is filled with anger and resentment and she makes her mood known and felt that's for sure !
It would seem Gianna is having a tough time keeping everyone happy and while they feel like captives she's actually trying to protect them and tensions are running high!
I like that we get to be a part of an adult vampire initiation and even though Gianna consumed enormous amounts of alcohol she's still aware of whats going on around her and when she feeds I can't help but chuckle to myself as her "table manners " life ave much to be desired !
Chapter 5 starts and I'm most grateful that I'm not going to be on the receiving end of Gianna's anger!
Adonis might be an ass but I give him brownie points for letting Anthena go. Having said that he sure gets a kick out of taunting Gianna doesn't he !?
My favourite part so far and I think it'll stay that way is when Anthena is calmed by Gavin " Here before me was a dark angel capable of love" , the last paragraph leaves me riddled non goosebumps !
I like that Gianna has Kiki , a human , as a bestie and that she's so protective of her. Again I must compliment you on the " human emotions" your vamps experience like jealousy, anger, love etc.
Nikolas is seductive , sadistic, sarcastic and most definitely comfortable in his own skin and for some strange reason I find his arrogance appealing * sounds strange* and its obvious there's no love lost between Nikolai , Caleb and Jovan.
Priscilla , mmmmmm , I forgot about her " Royal Nastiness" and just a few pages into chapter 7 she already has my back up and my fingers itching to scratch her eyes out ! Gianna does me proud and gives her such a talking down that even I'm a little nervous , one thing is for sure you do not want to get onto Gianna's bad side.
This was absolute brilliance to me " They make insanity look like a delicious cupcake"
I think Kiki may by a tad pissed at Gianna but on the bright side there's Jovan and I'm curious as to what develops between them and in Gianna's defence she was trying to save her friend .
Your vamps add yet another dimension with " Viper" again it makes them different to your traditional vamp. Reaper will always have a special spot in my heart and typical of dog nature he's very protective of Gianna which is endearing.
The passion and chemistry between Gianna and Caleb is still of the charts!
Adonis has been found and I'm preparing for a battle of epic proportions! What unfolds next is both revealing , frightening and heartbreaking all bat the same time.
Kiki seems to have adapted well to vampire hood , just ask Adonis ;)
I have a Kleenex moment when Gianna says her goodbyes to Reaper .
This has been my favourite of all the Guardians xxxx

Jennifer Raygoza made a very hard decision that every series author faces, how long should it last. Instead drawing things out The Guardians face their last page in this trilogy, and they go out with more than a few bloody fangs. But worry not fans, looks like an opening was left between the pages allowing the making of a possible spin-off.
Gionna has finally come to her breaking point: her only daughter is still missing.That in and of itself is enough to make the strongest of women go insane. Add on the role of being Vampire Queen, Wife, and Mother to a son missing his twin, you would probably become a little less wrapped around the hinges to. So anyone crossing her path at this time had better tread softly, or risk having their heart ripped out, literally. Oh, and did I fail to mention the fact of having to house her family and closest friends who would rather whine and complain than to just shut-up and stay safe. And a best-friend focused on her next conquest.
The thing I love most about Raygoza is that she keeps her characters real. Readers can see and feel the emotional that they are suffering through. And unlike some authors who have their characters jump in the sac just to please some of their fans, you won't find fill in sex here. What couple, human or vampire, could even think about sex when their child's life is on the line? And only they can save them.
All questions will be answered and new characters will be introduced; some to be of help, and some, well, let's just say they would probably get along with Adonis just fine. The long awaited battle between Guardians and Dark Angels finally takes place, and there may be casualties on both sides of the line. And the ending just may raise more than a few eyebrows.
This book is a true must read for all Guardian fans and should not be read as a stand alone.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review
First off I want to say that I am absolutely in love with this cover! It's beautiful!
Blood Vengeance had the perfect ending I think! It even left an opening for a spin off! I have loved this trilogy! Its so sexy and at the same time action packed! Usually you get one or the other in books but not with Jennifer Raygoza! She knows how to intwine the two to make a perfect story! The characters are raw and I love them. Blood Vengeance has a little bit of everything you want in a story!

SUPER VAMP-LICIOUS !!!
Can I just say - Wow! Blood Vengeance is the third book in The Guardians Franchise and it totally rocks! Jennifer Raygoza's extraordinary talent and imagination shine brightly in this brilliant continuation of her vampire saga. The story is exciting, dark, gritty, powerful, compelling, action packed, thrilling, romantic and sensual. The dialog is smart, snappy and well written. The characters are captivating, dangerous and sexy as sin. I loved it! I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I can't get enough! Gianna, once human but now a vampire queen and protector, is married to Caleb, a natural born vampire and her fever mate. Together they continue the war against Adonis and his army of Dark Angels. But Gianna and Caleb have much more to protect than each other, they have twin vampire children, Athena and Steele who are now teenagers. And we all know just how much havoc one teenager can cause much less two especially if they are anything like their Mom and Dad. And they definitely are! When Athena falls in love with Gavin who just happens to be the son of Adonis, all hell breaks loose! Oh my! Adonis has kidnapped Athena. And now that the lives of her entire family are at risk, Gianna is finally forced to tell her father, brother and her best friend, who and what she has become. Sexy vampires-check! Heinous villains-check! Action, danger and suspense-check! Yeah Baby! That and a whole lot more! Absolutely fantastic!

Great conclusion to this series. The ending was left somewhat open, for either other books or a spin off of some new characters we met in this book. This book picks right back up where the 2nd one left off. Athena is still in the hands of Adonis. Gianna is going crazy, voices in her head and dark thoughts. The war is finally here with the Guardians against the Dark Angels. This book is action packed and it moves along fast. It was a great read.
