Banishing Regrets

Glacial Blood #9

by Anna Edwards

Jane Dillion was widowed at a young age and left to raise her snow leopard shifter son alone. She couldn’t move on—the pain of losing someone she loved was too great. However, the events of the last few years have taught her she can't hide away forever. When love comes calling, will she allow herself to fall again?

Kas Lincoln wanted Jane from the minute he saw her, but his duty lay elsewhere not in the arms of a human woman. He's devoted his life to the Glacial Blood pack and has been rewarded by seeing each of them find love. When the world he knows falls apart, will he again choose duty or dare to dream of a different future?

The human world knows about the shifters, and they want blood for the chaos and murder Kas' twin, Nuka, is causing. Kas and Jane are stuck in the middle as the Glacial Blood fight for their lives and future.Human versus shifter, Love versus duty. Prepare for heartbreak.

Welcome to the final installment of the bestselling Glacial Blood series, a world of shifters and witches, magic and mayhem, unforgivable lies, and unbreakable love. A world where family is born not only through blood, but a bond. With plenty of threats to come—and a secret that remains untold.

About the author

Nestled in the tranquil rural landscape near London, I'm a British author whose journey from the world of accounting to the realm of writing has been nothing short of transformative. While I occasionally revisit my numbers-oriented past, my days are predominantly filled with the harmonious dance between crafting compelling narratives and tending to my cherished family—my husband, two children, and a lively household of four cats and one dog
.
In those rare leisure moments, you'll find me lost in the enchanting world of poetry, delighting in the creation (and indulgence) of decadent cakes or fervently capturing moments through the lens of my camera.

Writing emerged as my beacon of hope in navigating the labyrinth of depression and anxiety. My insatiable love for literature and the boundless horizon of travel infuses my tales with the rich tapestry of my adventures. I strive to breathe life into my stories with an air of authenticity that resonates with readers.

Within the pages of my books, you'll encounter heroes exuding charisma and rugged allure, heroines embodying both grace and tenacity, all enveloped in the cloak of dramatic suspense.

Finally, we have Kas' story. I mean, we've had little bits of his story throughout the entire series, but he's the focus in this one, and he's finally decided that he gets to be happy. Not only that, Jane has decided that she's going to be happy too, and they are going to be happy together, which is as it should be. It wasn't their time before, but it is now. Too bad that there is a lot of other stuff going on.

I really like how this book balances Kas and Jane's story with the overall story that has been happening throughout the whole series. It had to be a hard balance, but it works. It's also nice that we get a glimpse into some of the other couples and relationships in the series. Getting those glimpses doesn't pull away from the main story, but it really adds to the tension of the story, because we get to see how this is affecting everyone.

I'm sad to see the end of this series.

This was a really wonderful read. Kas and Jane's story is the final book in the Glacial Blood series and I'm sad to say goodbye but very happy and satisfied by how it ended. I do highly recommend that you read this entire series and in order. This will really immerse you into this world and strengthen your connection to the story and characters. As for this book, you can expect an abundance of emotion and feels as this couple's story unfolds. I really loved these two. I thought there was something powerfully moving about this romance. The choices you make and simply living life can lead to regrets and the author uses that beautifully and with much skill to create a couple and a romance that will grab hold of your heart and give it a serious workout. Drama, angst, tension, suspense, danger and excitement will have you invested and anxiously anticipating what will happen next as the need to keep reading has you turning those pages. This is my freely posted, frank review.

I was wondering how this author would tie all her plot points in this story, as there was a lot going on in the previous books, to say the least! I would say - you MUST read all Glacial Blood books in order, as only then all things would make sense to you. Each couple gave us something, but Kas and Jane are a cherry on the top! There will be a lot of action, drama, secrets, and twists that will keep your mind working around it for the whole read!
I'm really happy with this ending of the series! Anticipation for the combination was well made by Ms. Anna Edwards!

Banishing Regrets is a mind blowingly, epic ending to a fantastic series.

I'm not going to say much so I don't spoil anything, but if you've been following along with the series you will have noticed the flirtatiousness and connection between Kas and Jane, I'm happy to say this is their story and it has been worth the wait.

I have been pulled into the world of the Glacial Blood pack from the very start, meeting all the characters (loving most but despising some), their partners and kids too, wondering when the war between the humans and shifters would hit and who would survive. Every book in this series has left me with questions, all of those were answered in Banishing Regrets.

The Glacial Blood series by Anna Edwards was the first paranormal romance series that I started, it's the series that started my love for this genre and it has been one of the best paranormal romance series I've ever read - it's sad to read that final "the end".

4.8 stars
This is the ninth book in The Glacial Blood series and it is not a standalone. From its inception, there was something special about all of these characters as they underwent their challenges and forged a family. I am sad to see this series end. This book gives readers Kas and Jane’s story while intensifying the connection to the other characters. It all comes down to the choices one makes in one’s life and how one deals with them once set into motion. Overall, this is one well written storyline that grips you from the beginning. It is filled with drama, suspense, danger and packed with emotion as the pages turn. This one was worth the wait and I hope that the author decides to revisit Kas, Jane and the rest of the pack at sometime in the future. I highly recommend this series!

This is an author I never hesitate to pick up. Her writing skills and attention to details bring her stories to life on the pages. She writes with alot of heart and soul which you can see with each of her characters. This book is no different. I loved being pulled into the story from the first word. The characters are hot, steamy and connectable. They really made the story for me and what they brought to the story. This is the final book in this series which I highly suggest reading from the beginning. What an awesome ending to a great series. This is a story about not only family but bonds that strength those relationships. Family doesn't always mean blood related, the strong relationships is what makes family as this series will show you. This is a must read story and series. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Kas and Jane's journey of love is an action packed emotional one and although I am sad that this is the final book in The Glacial Blood series I am so glad Kas and Jane's story finally got told. If you have been reading this series from the beginning then you know what Jane and Kas have gone through since they first met. If you haven't read this series I definitely recommend you start from the beginning to fully understand everything they have gone through. I've probably said this before in a review but I will say it again. This series is my all time favorite. If you have ever read a book by Anna Edwards then you know you are in for an amazing ride. This is a fantastic ending to The Glacial Blood series and although I will miss all of the amazing characters I look forward to reading whatever this author comes up with next. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

[Hanan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kas and Jane are two pivotal characters in this amazing series.
They were the glue that held everything and everyone together.
And now for the finale of the series Ms. Edwards gives the fans the icing on the cake, Jane and Kas’s story.
Their book is filled with suspense, drama and twists and turns that definitely had me gripped and captivated and turning the pages to see what would happened next.
It’s an emotional love story that brought everything together.
As I was invested in this series from the very start.
Family isn’t always blood.
But also about those that would willingly give up their life for the other.
About friendships that go so far beyond just being friends.
Love, loyalty and bonds so strong they are virtually unbreakable.

[Cassie Ashford · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kas and Jane in my opinion are the most anticipated couple in this series. They have been important characters throughout the whole series. With this book we come to the end of a long journey. I’m sad to see them go and hope in the future somehow we can see just a glimpse of them.

There has been so much both said and left unsaid with these two characters. Secrets, enemies, lovers, friends…so much has been brought forth to build us to this point where we finally get to see Kas and Jane have their ending.

If you have read this whole series you will find yourself quite emotional at times so be ready for this final ride.

Lions, dragons and bears oh my! The shifters of the Glacier Blood pack are back and their story is great! I adore Kas and Jane, and the kids in the pack are precious. The story itself is a lot of fun, however, I do recommend reading the books in order. I found it to be a very interesting story and will absolutely be checking into the other books in the series!

[Lisa Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow what an exciting emotional story as we get Jane's and Kas at last. I love this series and I'm sad to see it wrap up, the characters are phenominal and so different, this world brings danger and chaos but also family with very hard choices.
The writing is addicting and brings it justice in so many ways that will have you addicted to their story. I loved it.

[Sue MacKenzie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome conclusion

Well this one had a few kicks to it that were unexpected but for Kas's story it was a great ending.
Thoroughly enjoyed every one in this series and this one was just the icing on top!
Love this author's imagination.
Jane was an interesting twist and the ending really makes you go hmmmm.

Loved it!

Banishing Regrets

Absolutely loved this series! The characters, their stories and a wonderful HEA ending. A meandering path intricately woven in good vs evil where family becomes much more than blood but who they choose.

Banishing Regrets

The thrilling conclusion to this magical series that captured my heart. It was a bittersweet ending that was had to put down. I loved all the characters in the pack and hope to perhaps see them return someday?

[Paula Genereau · Rating 5 out of 5]

I liked this book. I love Jane in this book. I usually dont care for shifter books but this one was awesome.

[Mari (Mystics & Metaphysics Book Blog) · Rating 4 out of 5]

It all comes to a head in this last installment in the series. Drama, suspense, chaos, danger, and some amazing chemistry. Jane and Kas really make the story and it tugged at my heartstrings.

[evieo17 · Rating 4 out of 5]

I hate to see the series end but I’m glad Kas and Jane got their HEA. It was a long time coming. I loved also seeing the other couples and seeing where their lives are at with their pack.
