I thought that there was too much going on in the different areas that they went too and all the different missions. Not just with the love triangle between Calla, Ren and Shay.

First, it bounced around too much for me. I know that the BookNerds really enjoyed this book. I am going to dive right in with what I did not like about the book. Since I am fortunate enough to be the one selecting the BookNerds read along in August, you can probably guess what it will be. Rift will be the first installment in a Nightshade prequel series that is scheduled to be released on August 7th. Fortunately for us, with the end of the Nightshade series comes the beginning of Andrea's next series. Some were absolutely shocking to me, but in the end I was very happy with how this series came to a close.Īfter 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. As Andrea already told us, war does not come without loss. More relationships develop throughout the book and in some cases finally come to fruition after years in the making. The book was full of action and we were able to connect with several of the characters on a more personal level. I was on the edge of my seat until the very end just waiting to see if my team would win. The tension between Ren and Shay is high throughout the book. 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 of the fight. Of course, each piece is in a remote location and is protected by magic and enhanced creatures. 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. “Nightshade is a glittering, dark gem.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. “Sexy and thrilling.” - BECCA FITZPATRICK, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HUSH, HUSH a book for well-read hopeless romantics who like their heroines conflicted, their love interests smoldering, and their passions triangulated and torrid, yet unfulfilled.” - LOS ANGELES TIMES “Nightshade is historical fiction-with a modern pop culture twist.
