Boy o boy is this one named right, but not until just before the end do you understand why, and then it's like "whhhaaat". This is taking ASOV to a whole new level.

GASP vs Nature

I like this group from GASP. This should be another great adventure. But going up against Nature is never an easy job!

Shade 70

I wasn't for sure on this as too of the story line e but did get i tithe story. My biggest issues are re.e.very g who is who as far as the characters gets are. So the faes are being g take over if not by choice by force. This adds t Ben and his family. So now they have to figure out what the genesis plans are and why do they want to destroy. Will the faes that are in the protection bulb be safe or will they wake with .net powers and will they be part of the genesis that will destroy the planets. A lot going g own. The the fire pit e kind of feel sorry for him as the genesis want to kill him. Hopefully the gasp will figure it out and as e everything

Swamp witch smack down

The cerix group has way too much on their plate to also have to deal with any other nonsense. So Lumi is sent to clear things up and help them. And help she does when lays the smack down repeatedly. Inalia meets her father only to loose him shortly. I was genuinely shocked by that turn of events. The elements are getting bolder with the fae and no one is safe. Things are looking pretty bleak and with no light at the end of the tunnel. Curious for what happens next and where their journey takes them considering they are on a serious time crunch.

I really really hope the shade is the never ending book

I can not put these books down at all. Each time one comes out I promise myself I will break it up into three days😂. Nope always one. Then I get mad I have to wait so long for the next! Every time there is new characters and I really have to go look at the family tree😂. But Bella child thief and hot blood and I think it is harley (I know that isn't right but) they are so good!

Hermessi’s!!!!

Okay so once an Allie now a foe. The Harmessi are on a rampage and it’ll take GASP everything they have md don’t to figure things out. Can they before it’s too late???

Lumi is old and tired and frankly just fed up. A planet or a Few forget that it’s not nice to piss off n old swamp witch!!

The gang is definitely in over their heads and it’s going to take More then a lot of brAun to come out on top!!!!

Off to the next.....

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

I couldn't believe how much was covered in this book!!! I love how unique it is and how much is at stake. Just when you think they've faced the worst Bella Forrest does something like this to us!!! I am biting my nails waiting for the next one! Can you imagine if we had Hermessi amongst us... or do we?

[Shanae oliver · Rating 5 out of 5]

These d@mn€d Hermessi!!!!

I knew hey couldn't be trusted!!! I knew it when we encountered the fire hermessi on strava and she was a mean, hateful b¡+¢h for no reason. I think she is the ringleader in all this somehow!!! I'm nervous because aren't some archperfects part fae? This is finally something I don't feel like I know what's gonna happen next!!!!!! Thank you Bella!!!

[Terri · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow

I have been on every adventure. I have been angry, sad, excited, and dumbfounded along with every character. I've felt the love they share. This is the first time that I have cried. Bijarki's chapter had me crying along with him. Things are looking bad and hopeless, but I have faith that GASP will make things right.

[nat _lovestoread · Rating 5 out of 5]

Shocking!!! 😧🤯😳🙃

OMG!!!... Totally shocked about everything that's happening in Cerix!!!... The Hermessi, the crazy cultist, the Hermessi children... Also in all the in between with the fae people, our Shadian Faes!!! ☹️... Lumi's intervention was so needed, but even her is shaken by all this craziness!!! 😱🙈... Can't wait to read the next book!!! ❤️🤓

Best service ever

Bella Forest is by far my absolute favorite author. Every book you open draws you on for an epic story. And you fall in love with or want to jump into the book to kill the ones you hate. Hope this helps someone decide to read. And o hope they enjoy the work as much as I do. Happy Reading!

More info comes to light

The Hermessi are messing with the natural order enculturation is growing. Our team is being pushed unit new, unfamiliar territory without a clue. But they keep fighting. Keep protecting the innocent, and keep searching for answers. What will they find next?

[Lynne Rainbow · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love these books and this is no exception, this is taking ASOV to a whole new dangerous level. With an enemy the likes of which they haven't fought before can the supernatural forces of GASP defeat nature itself and survive.

[Sherri Morris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very enjoyable great reading this series each book more enjoyable

I really enjoyed this book and loved the characters. I can't wait to see what will happen next with them hopefully they will be able to figure it out before it's to late.
