A Blade of Thieron

A Shade of Vampire #75

by Bella Forrest

In spite of the news about his father, Taeral has no choice but to push forward with the mission and retrieve the second piece of Death’s scythe: the blade. But the Soul Crusher, the blade’s reaper guardian, has a plan to protect it—one that will test the team’s friendship in a way nothing has done before.

Meanwhile, back in The Shade, Derek and Sofia are heading up a task of their own. One just as vital and, if Brendel finds out, likely even more dangerous…

Return to the journey in the thrilling sixth book of Season 9.

So much happening in this section of ASOV 75 that you don't see the end coming, leaves you wanting 76 to be here already. All the new loves are coming together nicely and the plot thickens with each page that is turned. Can't believe we are so far along, feels like the very first book, that's just how good Bella is.

Vampires. Supernatural

What’s not too love I’ve been reading this series for over a year, and as much as it’s easy to follow and interesting to find more and more out, I’m not sure what else can happen x

[Mikayla · Rating 4 out of 5]

As always a great read that had me mesmerised and on the edge of my seat, the only problem being is that they're always too short for us shadians.

[Diana Gayle Atwood · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just as exciting as the first and all the others

I have so enjoyed each and everyone of her books. I feel sad with I'm at the end not knowing now many more she can possibly dream up in that amazing imagination of hers. That day will truly be a sad day..I remember thinking when I saw how many books there were before I was caught up"how can she keep anyone's interest this long on the same series much less mine! But she has. I'm so I love with these people in her books and so grateful not to many of the characters I love have died. I truly believe that's one of the reasons I've kept reading, that and because it never gets boring or dull!! Is an easy read though some of the names and places are hard to pronounce for me.. if you love a light hearted romance with some amazing creatures and super naturals then this is a must read... One word of warning!!!! You will be totally hooked and be up until you just can't stay awake any longer wondering what will happen next..
Thank you so much Bella for the hours, weeks and months reading this!

Cry, Laugh and be infuriated.

Well....... ok things get really crazy and messed up. I cried, yelled out, laughed and was Shocked. Huh, didn’t see that coming.

Things get really crazy emotional for the GASP Team. The Hermessi’s United well some of them and help Tereal’s team but not as much as he hoped. There is something super powerful about the 🔥 ⭐️ 🤴🏻 but it’s yet to come to the surface. More surprises that will leave you dumbfounded.

The inbetween is on a collision course for death and destruction and even Death herself is powerless against it. Can GASP put an end to the fanatics and save the in-between and 🌍. Only time will tell I guess.

Well off to the next one. Getting my tissues ready.........

Oh and to the Author.......please, please, please, look into getting this series on a TV Network!!!!!!! It’s definitely better then any garbage that’s on there now!!!!!!

Poor Sherus

I'm absolutely impressed if I may say so myself.. I was so pissed that all the kids just grew up...I felt robbed of the opportunity to get to know the other characters the way I wanted but Bella has made it up to me with this insight into Taeral...I'm still holding on to Derek being a descendant of a fire hermessi...yeah,I know what the witch SAID she did while he was sleeping but a lot of stuff from the beginning series that I was left wondering about is being exposed now. I'm interested in what could possibly happen at the end of this series...where could things possibly go from here?!

[Amanda Lee · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not the best

I love this series dearly and I am a dedicated fan....that being said I've had trouble getting through this season. I found myself having to skin through large chunks of this quests storyline because these quests for the pieces of Theron is really starting to drag...it's just too much and very tedious. I do love the premise for this season and I'm enjoyed the story..I just can't get into this level of cjallenges . It's left me frustrated and I don't want to lose interest in the premus

[Tina Oeffler · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am beside myself, No words can explain how I feel without not being so nice. 🤬

Just when I thought, I couldn’t get anymore infuriating. I wanted nothing more than wishing I could go through this book and hurt someone. Bella, I thought I was pissed about Katherine in Harley Merlin until I read this one. She is just as bad. Brendel must come to an end, I have ha enough of her already. I love you Bella Forrest and this series; thank you for such a great adventure.

Freaking Amazing!!! 🤯🤪😳

OMG what an intense book!!!... I was so stressed all the time, between Taeral's and Derek's mission I bite all my nails!!! 🙈... Oh that Soul Crasher really got into my nerves, so annoying!!! 😵... And Derek's crew also had a rough time in that rescue mission... OMG and that surprise visit of Brendel to the Shade!!! 😱😰... Can't wait for the next book, what will Panthom trial be about??? 🤔 😨 🙈

[Marcy Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

this book kept me on my toes and throwing me for a loop with stuff I didnt see coming but it was so worth the anxiousness another wonderful book with all the things we love the shade books for...bella knows how to keep you hooked in and not come out for hours just when I thought I couldn't love her writing anymore she hits with the unexpected to make us keep flipping pages!

[Terri · Rating 4 out of 5]

*** No Spoilers ***

Another fantastic book for this series! Belle does an amazing job with continuing the storyline. The adventures continue with many twists and turns. Love is still blooming with the crew members.
I recommend this book/series!
*** I have Kindle Unlimited, and I used that service to read this book. ***

[Sherri Morris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very enjoyable great reading this series

Wow another great book. Now just one more step to get death her weapon but now Taerel needs it to get his father alive since Brendel killed him. Can't wait to see what will happen next for them can they save their friends and family members?

[Michelle Dubia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been a faithful reader of this series. Every time I read a book I am amazed that the storyline keeps going and going with new trials and tribulations.

I would definitely recommend this series to my friends. The characters grow each season you never know quite what to expect. It hurts when one of the characters dies off but necessary to keep the heart stronger.

[Marie Fraioli · Rating 5 out of 5]

Attention Holder

I chose this rating as Bella Forrest out did herself. The book kept my attention and I did not want to put the book. It was exciting and interesting. The characters are amazing and the situations are challenging. I am so looking forward to the next book. This series is spectacular.

[Denise Esh · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fabulous as awlays.

always. Know some people who have said they have grown tired of this series. I just can't imagine it. I love seeing how things co tinue and the tenacity of the characters! Looking forward to the next installment!

[Athena Harrelson · Rating 5 out of 5]

LOVED IT

This is the best yet. As far as this season is considered. From my perspective, humor is as important as tears and the occasional f bomb coming from me. There is the perfect mix throughout. Can't wait for the next in line. It can only get better.

[Elizabeth Choi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow

You talk about adventure! And then some. The soul crusher definitely earned his name. His mind games could crush anyone's soul. The survival of our hero's will be a heartbreaking affair. Great book!

[Kimberly · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this series!! I hope it never ends!! You stay on the edge of your seat the entire time because you have no clue what will happen next!! Can't wait til the next book to find out where the characters are taken next!

[Sara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nerve racking, so much obstacles for tearal and his crew

Brendel so evil
I hope everybody survives Brendel cause she has no moral or respect of
Life.
So much obstacles for tearal and his crew
Can't wait for the next book 76

[Christina · Rating 5 out of 5]

These books just Get better

I have read all 75 shade of vampire books and they never disappoint! I hope the series will continue after this 9th season...my life has been so much happier with the Shade in it ;)

[Veronica · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW....

The action intensifies as the pressures intensifies, and Bella doesn’t disappoint. A Blade of Thieron moves us forwards, seeing the characters grow and new alliances made, and I’m in the edge of my seat waiting for A Touch of Phantom.

[Nancy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reapers and Hermessi Abound.

Awesome fast paced read with lots of twists and turns and surprises Tae and his crew are still running hard but looking to win with more help all the time good characterization and storyline

[Vicky Zambrano · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Blade of Thieron

The plot thickens, will Terael be able to find the third piece of Death's scythe? I can't wait to find out. Great read and what an adventure. I'm off to start book 76!!!

[Judy Robertson · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Kelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Always one step forward and two backwards. (Sort of) The adventure and fighting were edge of your seat kind of stuff! Ramin…3 Reapers and a fantastic crew, what could go wrong? 😉
