Superb book that doesn't let you go until you've finished reading. A sinister plot is underfoot to kill Snowblood and Brogio. An amazing book that follows along the lines of the other four. Don't miss out.

I love the Snow Blood series! It's a wonderful storyline, with unique (a vampire dog!!!), intriguing characters. This is the final book in the series, with a major struggle ending in a surprise finale. The author is great at inventing interesting situations with unexpected ways to resolve them. I did find some typos/grammatical errors in my ARC, but not enough to detract from the story (taking 1/2 star away for them).
While I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book, I also pre-ordered and purchased a copy, to go with my books 1-4!

Great read! wonderful plot and fantastic characters. A must read from this author. I volunteered to read an advance copy for an honest review.

This was such an interesting way to close Snow Blood's series! I really love how the character's interact with each other. Snow Blood want revenge for Scrawny's death. Things go wrong and Selene is kidnapped I love how Snow Blood braved facing Brogio when he turned into the monster the God's turned him into and was able to reach him and bring him back into himself.
The best part was Seth and Mathias comes to the rescue and gets her back. But my most favorite part is the scene where Seth and the Archangels confront the mythological gods. I don't want to spoli the ending but God's forgiveness and gift to Brogio anf his family was a terrific ending. I'm looking forward to reading Kane's adventure next. A truly well written and enjoyable series.

This is the final book of the Snow Blood series. The story kicks off in the aftermath of the death of Snow Blood’s second from Season 4. There's a bit of everything in here (though not much in the way of fight scenes, which have always been my favourites) with past characters coming back for a spin and final hoorah.
I’ve loved these books of Greek mythology written from the viewpoint of a vampire dog, but dare I say it? This was my least favourite instalment. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still great, just not as amazing as I’ve found the others.
There was less on the body language side of things, and I didn’t really like the religious shift near the end. It changed the tone of the whole series, and I preferred the Greek mythology basis.
That being said, there’s a nice resolution at the end, and it sets up for the next series well.

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest evaluation and personal opinion:
Snow Blood Season 5 was a fast-paced, exciting conclusion to one of the best series of books from Carol Mckibben I've read. She draws you into the book by the end of the last one so you pick up automatically on the loss and sorrow that Snow Blood and Family, and Selene, Kane, and Brogio felt over the death of Scrawny. They worked to extract revenge, but brought about an unexpected turn for the worse in the process, and only through bloodshed, Sorrow, rage, and hope did they find peace in an unexpected, and perfect way. The God's don't always win, but this ending proves there is Salvation. It also opens up a new and exciting pathway to one of the main characters to go off on his own adventures, and I can't wait for that spinoff to start! This is a must read for anyone who has read even one of Snow Blood's adventures, but I don't doubt if you've read one, that you've read all 4 prior stories. Thank you, Carol, for letting us have a glimpse into your mind and the world of Snow Blood!

An outstanding ending to the Snow Blood series. Grab up this great story of vampires, once human and others canines, who live together, loving and protecting each other from jealous and evil Gods and men. They continue the fight to be left in peace. But the Gods want to own them and their powers or to destroy them. Plenty of bloody fights and strategies by Snow Blood and his family will win the day, just to be set upon again and again. But there are more than just mythical Gods within this wonderful world building; they're also angels, and with the help from the God of all that is, the ending is one fantastic surprise. So don't wait, start reading and find what's between my lines.

Snow blood has been a very captivating series. This paranormal story is one of my favorites, and the only one I have read about a vampire dog, his pack and his people. This story also has one of the best happy endings.

This books brings the end of the story of Snow Blood and his family. Still reeling from the loss of his dear Scrawny, Snow blood begs Hades for a favour, bit like anything involving the gods nothing is without a price and Selene, Brogio's wife is once again in danger. With swift pacing and a strange but climatic battle scene, the end of this novel comes clear. Decisions have to be made and it seems the family will not be the same at the end.

Interesting as always, Carol writes purely from Snow's perspective and while this took some time to get used to at the last book, it still works. For those that are very religious, there are instances in this book that will put you on edge, i know that personally it did me. I can deal with most paranormal and religion, but this came close to crossing the line for me when explanations were going on and how things would occur. If you are not religious then this would not affect you. Saying that the book was good and I would still read from this author, hopefully the next time from a human' perspective.
