My Review for Book Nerds Across America
Date Read: January 17, 2012
It was a really long wait from the time I finished the ARC of Wolfsbane until the release of Bloodrose, but it was well worth it. The final installment in this series presents the guardians and searchers with the task of collecting the remaining three pieces of the elemental cross in order to rid the world of the keepers and their magic. Of course, each piece is in a remote location and is protected by magic and enhanced creatures.
In order to bring the love triangle back into the mix, Calla and one of the searchers rescue Ren and convince him to join their side in the fight. The tension between Ren and Shay is high throughout the book. I was on the edge of my seat until the very end just waiting to see if my "team" would win.
The book was full of action and we were able to connect with several of the characters on a more personal level. More relationships develop throughout the book and in some cases finally come to fruition after years in the making. As Andrea already told us, war does not come without loss. There are numerous losses on both sides. Some were absolutely shocking to me, but in the end I was very happy with how this series came to a close.
After looking back through my GoodReads account...I realized this is one of the few series in which I gave ALL of the books 5 stars. This truly is an exceptional series. Fortunately for us, with the end of the Nightshade series comes the beginning of Andrea's next series. Rift will be the first installment in a Nightshade prequel series that is scheduled to be released on August 7th. Since I am fortunate enough to be the one selecting the BookNerds read along in August, you can probably guess what it will be.
