A Flight of Souls by Bella Forrest is the twenty third release in the spellbinding A Shade of Vampire Series and has totally left me breathless - again! Like thousands of my fellow Shaddicts, I've been hooked from the very first book of the series and now anxiously await each release. And it's no surprise that Bella has delivered another riveting adventure that curls our toes, makes our hearts pound and keeps us begging for more! This is a beautifully written supernatural/fantasy/adventure saga unlike anything I've ever read. The story is exceptionally well crafted, unique, imaginative, thrilling, fast paced, riveting, action packed, suspenseful, sweet, romantic and at times, deeply disturbing. Whew, what a mouthful, but these are only a few of the words that come to mind after reading this incredible chronicle of the Shade, its inhabitants and their enemies. Can you tell that I really love this story? The narrative is exceptionally well written in the first person with multiple points of view. Each chapter is told by one of the characters which I believe gives more depth, intensity and perspective to the story and adds understanding and insight into the motivations of the characters. The dialogue is smart, well executed and flows effortlessly. Although the story is compelling, it's truly the magnificent cast of larger than life characters that makes the biggest impact. They are well developed, captivating, intriguing, engaging, endearing and quite literally, out of this world! They explode from the pages, grab your imagination, capture your heart and hold you totally enthralled from beginning to end. Forrest skillfully combines these elements to craft a beautifully written paranormal romance filled to the brim with action, adventure, fantasy, mystery, suspense, magic, supernatural beings, love, passion, loyalty, heartbreak, angst, hope and plot twists that will blow your mind. After twenty three books in a series, some might think that the story has grown old and stale but nothing could be farther from the truth. In each book, Forrest takes her readers on a psychological roller coaster ride that keeps us on the edge of our seat and riveted to each page with our impassioned emotions alternating between heartbreaking and heartwarming. And the icing on the cake, Forrest's books are always well edited, perfectly formatted and have gorgeous covers! I'm not a professional reviewer but I know what I like, what I love and what I don't and I love this series! I've never experienced anything like it.
A Flight of Souls is the penultimate book in the story of Ben Novak, Prince of the Shade and the beautiful River Giovanni, the woman who captured his heart. Since this is the next to last book in Ben and River's story, I knew before I began reading that this release would be exceptional as Forrest prepares her readers for the long awaited conclusion of Ben's saga. And Forrest did not disappoint! Our story immediately picks up after Ben's miraculous rescue of River from the Hunters. Against all odds, he was able to save River and return her to her family at the Shade but sadly, his predicament has not changed. After Ben was faced with an impossible decision, he chose the ultimate sacrifice in order to free himself of the influence of the Elder Basilius to save both the human and supernatural realms from the ominous threat of the resurrection of the Elders thereby preventing their return to power. Tragically, Ben has learned that sometimes, those perceived as friends should never be trusted and finds himself still trapped between life and death. At this point, Ben is weary and discouraged with very few choices and even less hope. With limited options, Ben decides to leave the Shade and return to the The Tavern in hopes that he can find someone who can help. But before he can cross through the portal back to the Supernatural Realm, Ben is pulled back to the cave of Hortencia the Oracle where he finds his mother Sophia, his sister Rose and his beloved River. Ben once again attempts to decipher the puzzling ramblings of the enigmatic Oracle. But are her statements meant to help or harm? Are they meant to inspire hope or do they warn of the future doom to come? As the prophecy comes to pass, Ben finds himself again and again with not only the weight of worlds upon his shoulders, but also the safety and wellbeing of River, his family and quite possibly both the human and supernatural realms. In Book 23, A Flight of Souls, we continue to follow Ben on his journey as he, once again, attempts the impossible in order to save himself and return to the lovely, kindhearted River and his loving family at the Shade. Startling pieces to the puzzle are slowly revealed only to be replaced by even more perplexing questions as we also revisit ghosts from the past. Will Ben discover the answers he so desperately needs before it's too late??? Will Ben ever be able to free himself from the life with which he has now been cursed to live??? Will he somehow find his way back to the woman he loves??? We'll see!!! No spoilers from me but I will say this......Handsome, guilt-stricken, newly turned vampire who can't control his bloodlust-check! Beautiful half-blood heroine who gets caught up in what she once thought to be only fantasy and fairy tales-check! A plethora of supernatural characters including vampires, werewolves, witches, dragons, harpies, ogres, hawks, jinn, mermaids, mermen, fae, ghouls and even a hellhound-you bet! Danger, drama, adventure, suspense, mind blowing plot twists, an unexpected betrayal, a heartbreaking loss, an old enemy returns, a dangerous new enemy emerges along with several unexpected and very surprising ghosts from the past-you bet! A confession of love between Ben and River-oh yes!!! That and a whole lot more! I love it! I never tire of visiting my friends of 'The Shade'. It always feels like returning home. If you love heart-wrenching young adult paranormal romance, heartbreaking angst, tantalizing magic, out of this world fantasy, spine-tingling suspense, heart-stopping action, malevolent enemies, evil machinations, unexpected plot twists and heart-pounding adventure, then you will surely enjoy A Shade of Vampire series. Buckle up my lovelies! It's another thrilling ride! Please keep in mind, this is a serial - not a stand alone story and the books should be read in order of their release - and it does contain nail biting cliffhangers that will leave you on the edge of your seat panting for more - which I love! Bella always keeps us on our toes but lovingly rewards our patience with each new release. This is one book you don't want to miss as Forrest expertly weaves the threads of the story together for what I can only guess will be an explosive conclusion. I can hardly wait to read what happens next with Derek, Sophia, Caleb, Rose, Ben, River, Claudia, Yuri, Vivienne, Xavier, Aiden, Corrine, Ibrahim and all the other wonderful residents of the Shade when Ben's adventure continues in Book 24! Completely captivating, seriously sexy, powerfully compelling and delightfully entertaining!!!

Well, this was not Ben and River's HEA. There is another book that is coming before readers actually get that (sigh). But, the ending left you wanting to read for more reasons than just Ben and River's HEA. Some characters are resurrected and you want to see how that pans out; as well as the time constraints Ben and 5 other friends/family that were let out of the ghoul realm must meet in order to remain "living." The path before them will be laborious especially with the time constraint theyWhile I've really liked and enjoyed this series and it has certainly kept me entertained; I feel sometimes the author is grasping at straws to keep it going. It gets a little out there (for being a book about mystical creatures even lol), it's like the never ending story. The poor residents of the shade just keep going round and round, jumping from one issue to the next. There have been some nice surprises along the way and introductions to characters I thought we were done seeing anything from.
Fight of soulsI was hoping for a rap up of the Shade series and we go on as slaughtered lamps another novel now number twenty four. Ben has a promise to fulfill, will the faithful reader's ever see a happy ending. Oh ! how Bella Forrest has weaved her web of storytelling and held her reader's to this everlasting, never-ending , turmoil of a shaded path that never seem to end. Yet, we find ourselves unable to place this story down and say no more . . . how much more can this family get into
Quite mind blowing how Bella has managed to keep this tale alive through so many books and still evoke 5 stars out of me. Ben & Rivers story certainly hasn't disappointed! I've marked the date for the final instalment! I look forward to wrapping this story up, but I have sincerely enjoyed every single book. I look forward to seeing what this author offers in the future.
I have finally finished another Shade book this one of Ben and River's is amazing can't wait to read the final installment of their story or at least I think it is...Anyways, I am not sure what to say about this one since it took me forever to finish. I do recommend reading the Shade series it is very addicting and I love Bella for all she does in these.
Life after GhostI love that hat Ben had find his own strength to escape a fae hell.

Making a promise to help the guards that made a deal with the fae, the now humans are short on time find the Finn Ben promised to bring back to help.Once back to the shade a plan to find the Joann will start after the
Wow this book had me on the edge of my seat multiple times, breathless and excited to say the least! No other series has had me captivated like this one, and so glad its gone on and on, never becoming boring or mundane. Already reading the next one no doubt it will be as awesome as all the rest.
