Forbidden Moon (The Shadow Chronicles Book 3) by CR Robertson – Review by Callie Luna

Forbidden Moon (The Shadow Chronicles)Forbidden Moon by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I highly recommend Forbidden Moon and the whole series The Shadow Chronicles. This book is an amazing way to close Tasha’s and Levi’s love story. Their relationship is pushed to the limit with having to lead an army against the hellspawn while protecting their daughter. It is by far my favorite of the trilogy due to learning more about the creation of vampire, lycans, and witches. I was at the edge of my seat until the very end. The ending is everything I hoped for and more, it gave me goosebumps reading it! I can’t wait to read the next in the series Forbidden Blood.

Forbidden Blood takes place during Forbidden Moon but with the different viewpoints of Kimber and Fabian. Kimber is Tasha’s younger sister who has never felt like she belonged anywhere. Fabian is a guardian of the world to ensure balance and order. They bring out the best in one another and heal their pasts. I love this series and can’t wait for the next book!

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I was anticipating this Book #4 in the Shadow Chronicles series….and boy oh boy it did NOT disappoint! I have loved this series from the beginning and I highly recommend starting with book #1. The cover…wow….stunning….the story giving me all the feels I love about paranormal romance with a mix of vampires, lycans, magic, danger, secrets and twisty roller coaster of emotions……
I really feel that 5 Stars is not enough…..this book was fantastic.

Kimber, the younger sister of Tasha, is a vampire with special powers…..Kimber was subjected to cruelty by her coven leader because of her gifts…and she feels that these gifts are more of a curse than for good. Fabian is a Shaman who has this compassion and empathy….looking from the outside in… but has this sense of being and helping Kimber find her way and make her feel safe once again.

Will dark magic and danger threaten Kimber and Fabian…….definitely read and find out! I am hoping that this author continues this series…..highly recommended!

Forbidden Blood (The Shadow Chronicles Book 4)Forbidden Blood by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Intrigue. While this is the fourth book in the series I had originally planned to begin with this book in the series, thankfully I followed the advice of the reviews and went back to book one first. Yes, this book I feel could be read as a standalone, but it could get confusing in some places with other characters if you don’t have the full background to this point to fully understand the weight of the situation. Following the perspectives of Fabian and Kimber this book is the beginning of their story, but it also fills in some questions of the previous three books.
Spanning immense time compared to the first three books we first met Fabian, 200 years ago. While a part of a search unit he began to have doubts and questions about what he had been told and the first was about a hellhound, Ginger. He follows his gut and is proven to be right that a soul born in hell does not mean that it is evil, it can live once more on Earth, peacefully. After his unit is ended, he is allocated to Guyana as his area to protect and keep safe. Time jump, five years ago, Kimber is now in her conscription and hates it but more, so she feels she is defective. She doesn’t look like a vampire or have the same appetite, though she forces herself to grab a bag she doesn’t let the blood touch her tongue. Unfortunately, the ick that is Castus is present and like her older sister Tasha he takes an unwelcomed interest in Kimber. The problem being her gift that protects her from unwanted “affection”. Now she is a part of Castus’ collection of rare and beautiful things. Flashes of his experiments flood her mind at first touch, and she prays to the Great Goddess to save her from her prison.
Will Kimber be free before she is permanently destroyed? Can Fabian discover the plan of the mad scientist before it gets too late? Is Ginger safe from the masters Fabian saved her from? Once again, the author adds so much to the world that she has created. While the previous three books built the world it never stopped revealing more of its secrets. The same holds true for this book as magic has returned and their world is now being revealed as Kimber finds her place in the chaos of war and life. Also, while Tasha and Levi will forever hold a special part of my heart Kimber and Fabian now have their place as CR Robertson has truly become one of my new favorite authors. Her characters leave you begging for more even when you reach the last page. Fingers tightly crossed for a fifth book soon.

Forbidden Moon (The Shadow Chronicles)Forbidden Moon by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 3 in The Shadow Chronicles, and so far, my favorite. It is still following the story of Levi and Tasha, as well as the war with the hellspawns.

Finally, Lycans and Vampires are now allying instead of enemies and have created a new army in order to fight the hellspawns that have emerged from nowhere. Secrets are flying every which way and the truth will be revealed.

The story of Tasha and Levi is coming to an end, and it is bittersweet. They have taken us on a wild ride throughout these 3 books and I loved every second of it. I highly recommend that you read both of the previous books before reading this one. We are also introduced to a few new characters in this book, and I cannot wait for book 4 for the spin off involving Tasha’s younger sister!

While there is a war going on with the hellspawns, there is also evil that is threatening to tear Tasha and Levi apart. They have been through so much as a couple and their love prevails through everything thrown at them.

I 100% recommend this book to anyone who loves action, suspense, and paranormal romance!

Forbidden Mate (The Shadow Chronicles)Forbidden Mate by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in The Shadow Chronicles and is a continuation of Tasha and Levi’s forbidden love story. Tasha is a unique Vampire and Levi is a Lycan. This book is full of action and more secrets are unveiled. There were a lot of twists and turns. It took me a little longer to read this second book than the first, but it is still an absolutely wonderful book. My biggest issue with this book is how much Tasha starts to lean on Levi, when she knows she is strong and perfectly capable. It makes her seem a good bit weaker throughout the book.

Tasha begins to learn how much of her life was based on lies. How far will Castus go to claim something that was never his in the beginning? Will the Vampires and Lycans be able to work together and defeat the hellspawns?

The book focuses on two things, the war and the love between Tasha and Levi. While the war is full of action and violence, their love is sweet and steamy!

Cannot wait to read book 3. Definitely recommend this series to anyone who loves a good paranormal romance!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in The Shadow Chronicles and follows the story of Tasha and Levi. It is a vampire and Lycan forbidden love story. The book from the beginning sucked me in and I couldn’t put it down. I have read plenty Lycan/Vampire forbidden love, but this book was insanely different and nothing like I have read before.

There are a few steamy scenes, lots of suspense and action, and includes hidden agendas, drama, and of course magic!

Tasha is a young vampire with unique abilities unlike anyone else in her species. She is trying to protect her younger sister from their leader and is willing to sacrifice everything, that is, until she met Levi.

The book is told mainly from Tasha’s POV, but there are a few chapters where we get to be inside Levi’s mind and see how he feels about Tasha.

So much time has passed since they first seen each other. Will the feel the same after ten years? Will they succeed in find out what is killing every person they know? Will they meet in Paris? Will they end the war between their species?

Love, Love, Love this book and cannot wait to run and read book 2!

Forbidden Blood (The Shadow Chronicles Book 4)Forbidden Blood by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in The Shadow Chronicles. It is a continuation of the first three books, but this book is the story of Kimber and Fabien. I absolutely loved this everything in this book. C.R Robertson always makes sure in include wonderful imagery that pulls you right in. The Shadow Chronicles are paranormal stories about vampires and Lycans on their journey to love. I was glued to this book from the time I opened it to the time I finished it.

Kimber is the younger sister vampire of Tasha (who the first 3 books are about). She possesses special abilities that regular vampires do not have. Kimber has the ability to sense and feel everyone’s emotions and pain as well as has visions of the future. She has never felt like she belonged anywhere and felt like she was never enough because she was in the shadow of her older sister.

The story is very fast paced so hold on to your pants, because it will take you through almost every emotion within a small-time frame. It is an incredible action packed, paranormal romance, with vampires, lycans, magic, HOT chemistry, secrets, violence, and my favorite – forbidden romance.

“I followed Kimber out the door into the inky darkness of the night, because for her alone I would break all the rules and cloak myself in death.”

Fabien is the only person who ever made Kimber feel safe, who believed her, and who would burn the world down just to make her smile.

Absolutely wonderful book to read, and I definitely recommend.

Forbidden Blood is the fourth book in The Shadow Chronicles series. I picked this up because the cover caught my attention, and I was not disappointed. I enjoyed this book and will grab the earlier ones in the series now. I have a feeling that this would be even better enjoyed after having read the previous books. The story focuses on Kimber, whom her family has hidden away to protect her. Fabian is a shaman who feels greater compassion than others of his kind. This is a paranormal romance that deals with vampires, shamans, and more. I really enjoyed the world-building and character development in this book. The storyline kept me intrigued and wanting to see where the story would lead. I did not want to put it down. Because of the great characters and story, I look forward to returning and catching the earlier books in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved every single bit of the previous three books in this series, so when I found out there was a fourth installment, I was over the MOON excited! The previous focused on Tasha and Levi, so this one was a nice expansion of Kimber and Fabian. Kimber is Tasha’s little sister who has always felt like an outcast. Fabian is a dreamboat in her eyes. I really enjoyed seeing them grow alongside each other as the action-packed storyline took us on a crazy adventure. Though you may be able to enjoy this as a standalone, I HIGHLY recommend picking up the previous books as they do build upon each other. This author has quickly become one of my very favorites and I bet you’ll feel the same. She has a way of pulling you in with her captivating writing style, and never lets go as the flow of the story just takes you away. I cannot wait to see where we go from here!

This has become my favorite paranormal series, bar none. I found myself reading as quickly as I could to see what happens, and then going back to read slower to really soak in Tasha and Levi’s adventures. If you’ve found this book first somehow, please pick up the first two because the story is definitely a progression through each read. You won’t regret picking them up either because they are simply fantastic. If you thought you could pin down every paranormal romance, this author will prove you wrong QUICKLY. I absolutely loved the action-packed scenes combined with the magnificent chemistry that jumps straight off the pages. I highly recommend picking this series up if you love paranormal romance, but even if you don’t I beg that you give it a chance!

Most of the time a second book will make or break a series, and this continuation has blown me AWAY! It picks up the story like no time has passed and I dove in headfirst. I read this in one sitting because I couldn’t pull myself away! I love how this author has such a way of writing that you just can’t predict where the story is heading next. I can’t get enough of Tasha and Levi. The flow of the book is absolutely flawless and never felt a lull. Buckle in because we are amping up the adventure in this installment. I cannot wait to grab up the next book in this series to find out what happens next with our lovely MCs. I highly recommend this series so far!

If you pass this book up because you judge it by its cover/synopsis (you know better!) you will miss out terribly! While this genre is a very popular one with most of the books having somewhat of a cookie cutter approach, this book stands out in the paranormal romance crowd. The author does such a fantastic job pulling you into the world of lycans and vampires. I felt like I was experiencing the story instead of reading it, which is incredibly hard to accomplish with paranormal books in my opinion. I’m already on my way to pick up the second book in the series!

The Author concentrates on Kimber (Tashas younger sister) in this book and we follow Kimber as she recovers from her time in the harem of her previous coven leader, and as she starts to find herself she meets Fabien.<br />The witches still search for the second elemental sorceress, Tasha and Levi continue to win slowly against the hellspawn, but there is more to it than they think.<br />Fabien brings a whole new level of intricate back story to the series. <br />This author has managed to keep me hooked through all four books so far.

Forbidden Blood (The Shadow Chronicles Book 4)Forbidden Blood by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kimber is a young vampire with a damaged past, she has been used by others for their gain for most of her life and her gifts have now become more of a curse to her, but because of this, she is treated like a fragile ornament and her family do everything that they can to protect her, but all Kimber wants is to be left alone. From being a youngster, her gifts have been hidden away from fear of what their discovery might mean, but it just meant that when she was conscripted into the vampire military, she had no experience of controlling them and her family’s worst fear became a reality when her coven leader used it to his advantage.

Fabian is a Watcher, a shaman entrusted with keeping the balance between the worlds and documenting all the comings and goings of both the human and supernatural beings within it, but all that changes when he comes across a vulnerable, pink haired young woman. For generations his kind have lived hidden from the world and drawn deeply from the magical wells of their realm, they have witnessed creation, separation and destruction during that time and vowed not to interfere in the Earth realm, however, the boundaries they have been protecting are crumbling and the problem is worse than they feared, they now have to make a decision about whether they can remain on the side lines.

Kimber is desperate to go outside and one day, she just does, she goes running off into the woods and escapes from her suffocating life, but her life changes when she meets another from a magical race she had never heard of rescues her from the hellspawn who attack her and when Fabian does this, he makes a choice which could change everything and everyone involved. Can Fabian bring out the strength he knows lies deep within Kimber so that she can finally use her gifts her own way and do the good she has always dreamed of and will it lead to the magical communities being brought together to fight this unearthly and evil creation? This is a fantasy adventure with a romantic heart, where secrets, revelations and discoveries lead to choices and consequences which lead to a make or break point in a war which has been waging for eons, as this rollercoaster of a ride takes you along all the highs and lows within it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Completion. I flew through the previous two books and this one was no different. The need to learn more about Tasha and Levi and know what happens next left me little room to breathe as I devoured this final book of their epic story.
Unlike the previous two books this one started with a prologue on how the different species came to exist. As well as how the fear of the Olympians forced them into chaos and war. Quickly it is apparent as to how Tasha and Levi were able to love each other so completely without understanding why but not fighting against it and embracing it. Picking up where the previous book left off the hellspawn have learned when the Lycans are at their weakest and they are in turn at the strongest, during the new moon. Only now the miracle that is Persephone has unseen power that allows her to keep those she loves safe despite her age and size. As the truth of how all species came into existence is brought to light the alliance that was destroyed centuries ago reforms. Tasha and Levi played the central part in proving that their species coexistence is possible and that the lies they were told were to keep them apart. To keep them from becoming more powerful than their creators. Magic is back and reclaiming their place in the war against the hellspawn that wants to burn all whilst claiming the Earth for themselves. Once again, more secrets erode as the truth is revealed.
Can Tasha and Levi find their way back to each other in the darkest nights ahead? More secrets revealed but what does the mean for those affected? What will happen to the alliance when their story is complete? Once more the author finds ways to make the world more complete and more complex as we learn more about how the species were created, and how the war truly began. Seeing the characters morph into so much more than the youth of book one has been one of my favorite parts, as they became not only confident in themselves but in each other. Bittersweet, as much as I love reading Tasha and Levi’s story, I am excited to see how the world expands and changes with Kimber’s story in book four, Forbidden Blood, and how it will continue in the war against the hellspawns.

Revelations. Okay book two takes everything and bumps it up several notches. This book begins a few months after the events at the end of the first book. Once again CR Robertson pulls you in and after a slightly slow start you can hardly get a breath.
In the few months since the confrontation with the hellspawns Tasha and Levi have found a sense of normalcy in their crazy world. Levi holding true to finding a way for them to be together publicly and not having to be apart for another ten years while finishing their conscriptions. While at the end of book one Tasha could still feel the dull hum of the creatures killing the vampires and Lycans she could hear them at times. Knowing they must be regrouping the vampires and Lycans made agreements of sorts that ends the war between them to combine to beat the common enemy before them. In the first book it is also revealed that due to the moon goddess making Tasha and Levi fated mates, she was changed to a deeper level allowing her to walk in the sun. Only she and Levi know this and go to great lengths at times to keep it that way. The chaos of war tomorrow is promised to know one. Grasping every moment with Levi, Tasha fears a world without him. Learning more about the secrets of her coven Tasha begins to learn how much of her life was based on lies and half-truths of those that held power.
How far will Castus go to claim what was never his? Can the Vampires and Lycans succeed at defeating the hellspawns? Once again, the world the author creates is one of total intrigue that pulls you into the world beside the characters. The characters continue to develop and grow as they experience more than what seems possible to overcome but they survive by sticking together through it all. While reading the first book the love story seemed to be at the center and to a degree it is, but the fact is that it is the war that is the focus that has encompassed both species for so long that the purpose of the war is long forgotten. Tasha and Levi’s story is the light in the war that makes everything worth overcoming the evil lurking in the muck. I cannot wait to begin book three, Forbidden Moon, to see how Tasha and Levi’s story continues and what they will overcome.

Intricate complexity. This is the first book I have read by the talented C.R. Robertson, and I feel it was the perfect series for me personally to be introduced to her work. Forbidden Wolf is the first book in the Shadow Chronicles series. It is a supernatural retelling of Romeo and Juliet to a degree. Told primarily from Tasha’s perspective we are given glimpses of Levi’s letting the reader know he feels the same as her.
Vampire Tasha is about to turn twenty-one, the age for conscription into the army, to fight in a war she doesn’t believe in. Lycan Levi is also twenty-one and about to join his species army for the war when during their last summer everything changes. Tasha was never like the other girls her age; boys never really caught her attention, but she was prepared for the next twenty years to carry out her duty to her coven and species. Twenty years being mandatory service time in the army and breeding programs before being allowed to follow your own specialties or to be free. Levi is different from the others in his pack. He has black fur and mentions that the color of your wolf is tied to your abilities, he is often left alone. One fateful night changes everything either of them had been raised to believe. Thinking the bite of the other would kill them Tasha and Levi indulge in conversation with the enemy, but after talking and he protects her from the sun she is conflicted and questioning everything she had ever been told. Levi was stunned by the creature that is Tasha, he had been raised believing vampires were savage monsters and yet she was the gentlest, most caring thing he had ever seen. A plan for twenty years when their mandatory conscription is over, they will meet in Paris under the Eiffel Tower and once again just be lovers having a reunion. Time jumps accord five years and then ten. Ten years later Tasha and Levi are reunited on the battlefield. Both species are being savagely slaughtered by something new.
Ten years have passed, do they still feel the same for each other? Can Levi and Tasha succeed in finding out what is killing everyone they know? Will they rekindle what they had that summer in the forest? The world the author describes not only conjures the images in your mind but sometimes the smells. The characters leave nothing and everything on the table, their complexity not only personally but how they interact and react to the same situations is relatable and understandable. Once I started this book, I couldn’t put it down and now I cannot wait to begin book two, Forbidden Mate, to see what happens next for Tasha and Levi and how they confront what’s coming next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed returning to this world and further exploring it. Kimber and Fabian’s story is full adventure and of course love. Their journey to finding a happy ending had some dangers and many twists and turns but they came out alright in the end. This author has created a vibrant story and I look forward to reading more from her.

This is the fourth book in the Shadow Chronicles series. I have been hooked since book one! Vampires, lycans, battles, love…I can’t ask for anything more.

Between Darkness & Light is the third book in the series. Each book I got into, each one got just that much better. They were a page turner for me. This one was full of adventures. I never knew what was gonna happen next. That made me continue to read because I wanted to know what happened next. I highly recommend starting with book 1.

Forbidden Blood (The Shadow Chronicles Book 4) by CR Robertson – Review by Desiree Ottinger

Forbidden Blood (The Shadow Chronicles Book 4)Forbidden Blood by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kimber has been hidden away for the majority of her life. When she gets to her tipping point, she finds her destiny in Fabian. He sees her for who she really is and teachers her how to come into her power to take her rightful place in the role of the war they are in. Everything isn’t simple though and there are other entities at play that have only been watching for far too long; refusing to intervene. Can Kimber reach her full potential before they can be ripped apart? Or are they doomed to find each other only to lose everything to the war at hand?

I really enjoy this series. I love seeing the characters find their people and new ways to beat back evil. Fabian was a wonderful addition to the storyline. He brings his unique perspective to the table and calls out a lot of mistaken thought processes. He single handedly manages to baffle every one of the team at one point or another too. I look forward to more of this series!

Forbidden Blood (The Shadow Chronicles Book 4) by CR Robertson – Review by Jennifer Reimer

Forbidden Blood (The Shadow Chronicles Book 4)Forbidden Blood by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really didn’t think that I would be in love with a paranormal romance series like I am with this one. I have red all 4 books and I have not been disappointed since. I highly recommend that you start from the beginning because this book starts with Tasha’s sister Kimber. The first three books focused on Tasha’s story and now this book starts in with Kimber so you might feel a little lost or not understand fully on what is going on when something is being brought up in the story line. These stories are amazingly written and so vivid with details scenes that they really make you feel like you’re standing there watching and, in the story, right along with everyone else. The book (and series) had me once again hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t bring myself to put it down till I was done reading.
