I was so excited for Kimber to get her own book when she was introduced in book one. Kimber is another interesting character. Her family has kept her secret for most of her life. Seeing her as weak and useless, until she comes into her power. She is then conscripted into the vampire army, and her coven leader finds out about her powers. Enter Fabian. He is a shaman that is supposed to help maintain balance, but evil has woven it’s way into this organization so it’s hard to know who is friend and who is foe. The character’s chemistry when they are introduced to each other is off the charts! I loved the continuation of the story from their perspective and the series just keeps getting better and better! I loved this book just as much as the others and I hope she keeps going!

I thoroughly enjoy this series. Reading about Kimber and Fabian’s romance was heartwarming and thrilling. I love how much the supernatural creatures mix. They love who they want and they break barriers. It gets a tad steamy but nothing too raunchy, there’s lots of action, and I couldn’t help but keep reading. Definitely a great read for those who love the paranormal.

I was sooo happy to see this book come out! I love the world this author has created and missed these wonderful characters. It is full of danger, suspense and paranormals. The first half was a little slow for me. I liked the insight into the male lead but got bored. The second half is all fire and brimstone and action filled and I could not read it fast enough!
I got to see some new characters and hang out with old friends. Dominic is stll a treat to watch and when he hangs with the gang he becomes feisty, crazy and curious. His dialogue made me laugh so many times but he also shows his serious old soul a time or two. I really saw Kimber grow in here. She went from a whiney loner to a strong woman. I could really *feel* it near the end just rolling off the letters.
Overall a great addition to the series! I loved so much about this one. One of my favorite scenes involved his house. Its alive! It shifts, rejects or welcomes people. I liked it a lot. I can’t wait for more as I am hoping more elemental sorceress will be found (hopefully for Dominic haha).

I was immediately drawn into this story; it was exellently written with great character and world development. I was able to read the book out of order without issue but I will add that reading the series in order would definitely help as there is an overall story that carries through the series as well as characters back story’s that were introduced previously. But if you’re like me and just can’t wait, I would recommend this book regardless of the reading order.

I devoured this book late into the wee hours of the morning. I could not put it down. This is the story of Kimber and The Watcher.
Kimber has been through the gambit suffering at the hand of Castus. He is now dead and she is dealing with her suffering. Her family has always treated Kimber like the weak girl needing to be protected by everything around her. Her visions are still rendering her incapable of withstanding their pain. In this book, Kimber meets the Watcher and this changes her life forever.
So much tension filled pages as the group of our old favourite characters join together to battle the hellspawn and other magical beings. If you enjoyed the past books, you gobble this one up as well. I loved this one the most.

This is one of my favorite authors and I am never disappointed. I really enjoyed this book and I was so eager to read the fourth book in this series. I love how the characters always have electrifying chemistry. The books are well balanced with the romance and the drama and action. The forbidden love story really adds to the atmosphere of the book. The author keeps you on the edge of your seat and hungry for more. I don’t want to put the book down. I really look forward to reading more from this author and this series as it’s one of my favorite genres.
This book is the fourth book of the Shadow Chronicles but this one while in the same wonderful world is about kimber (woot woot). I was super excited seeing this series continue . I think Kimber and Fabian are my favorite characters so far. Fabian is the sweetest. This book has just as many twists and turns as the first three books and also leaves you wanting, no need more. Like truly I love this and would love stay in this world I’m waiting patiently 🙏 🥰 lol okay maybe not more like at the edge of my seat lol. Hopefully we will get a book about Domini, Spencer and radar. CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK! PS I love all of the covers of these books.I can’t wait to read more work from C.R Robertson

Reading the third book of the series i gotta tell you when the author says Readers of Cassandra Clare and Sherrilyn Kenyon ( McQueen) will devour this book she was not lying because Sherrilyn Kenyon (McQueen) is my favorite author so reading this i was like yessss, It’s slowly becoming my top ten favorite rereads. Tasha and Levi’s story coming to an end is sad but man oh man it was a hell of a ride. I read this one at what felt like lightning speed 🤣🥰. Just had to know how it ended. It did not disappoint, super action packed and omg so cute I love the name Persephone🥰. This series is a definitely recommend this series and start at the beginning you will not regret it.

Welp here I am again reading book two of The Shadow Chronicles series 😀 and just like the first it’s a non stop read. Her unique storytelling of the supernatural world is amazing. I love seeing her take on things like the hellspawns and how she can make you feel the characters emotions as your own. This book is Continuing with Tasha and Levi’s love/action-packed story, picking up where the last one stopped and I can’t get enough of them. I also can’t wait to start the next one.

First time reader of this author CR Robertson. Turns out she’s a brilliant writer, really built an amazing world. Giving you all you hoped for when dealing with supernatural beings. Im mean vampires and lycans what’s not to love 🤔oh wait Tasha’s leader🤣🤣 no but forreal this story was freaking amazing I really enjoyed it I read in one day. Levi and Tasha are fated mates and better they are different species making their love even more forbidden than others. Going to read the next book now 🥰

I fell in love with this series as soon as I started reading the first book. Tasha and Levi were forbidden mates who opened the door for others to branch out from within the confines of their own races. When I found out this time, one of the main characters was Kimber, Tasha’s younger sister, I was beyond excited.
Kimber went through so much at such a young age that my heart ached for her in the previous books. Her abuser is now dead but she still has the remnants of trauma caused by her past. Kimber is trying to figure out who she is and where she fits in. She knows she is different from the other vampires and feels she is useless compared to her sister Tasha.
Kimber has no idea how strong she truly is. Her magical powers are rare and almost unheard of nowadays. She is one of a kind and when Fabian sets his eyes on her for the first time, he recognizes this instantly.
Fabian is a shaman, a race that has been around for a very long time, balancing the supernatural all while hidden in the background. This includes magical creatures and magic in general. It’s also his job to protect the Earth from the hellspawn that are all of a sudden appearing everywhere. Fabian is just what Kimber needs to embrace herself. The duo are perfect for each other but can they withstand the many obstacles in their way? While defeating the hellspawn along the way?
I loved both characters instantly. I picture Kimber as this cute and shy girl on the outside with a fiery and powerful inside. Meanwhile Fabian cares about everything and gives everyone a chance to prove themselves. Even hellhounds.
The author once again has done an amazing job with creating this paranormal world of Vampires, Lycans, hellspawns, and now introducing more characters along the way. I really enjoy their style of writing. If you haven’t read this series, I suggest stopping what you are doing and start reading!

This series has been really good so far! This is the fourth book and follows Kimber, Tasha’s sister. This story really grabbed my attention and so far may be my favorite in the series. We meet Fabian in this book and he is a very interesting character. We learn so much more about Kimber and her background.There is a ton of character growth and I loved that so much. I really enjoy the way the author writes the characters and their feelings. I so enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this author.

This is the fourth book in the Shadow Chronicles series and focuses on Kimber’s story. I’m so glad we get to see things from Kimber’s perspective as I was always so curious about her and the true extent of what she went through.
Kimber and Fabian are great. Kimber really comes into her own with Fabian’s help and I couldn’t be happier to watch her develop!
As usual I love the author’s way of writing, it flows well and is easy to follow. In addition to this, the descriptive writing allows you to step into the world they inhabit to join Kimber and Fabian in their journey.
I can’t wait for the next book to be released, it’s going to be great!

This is the third in the Shadow Chronicles series and I never want it to end. I just can’t get enough of Tasha and Levi!
I love their chemistry the believability of their actions and thoughts and their character development beginning to end. They face more obstacles in their battle against the hellspawn and I enjoyed being on their journey with them.
As per usual the author’s writing style is great as it flows well and is easy to follow. The descriptive language creates vivid imagery of the surroundings so you’re never far off stepping into the story yourself.

Great continuation from Forbidden Wolf! This is the second in the Shadow Chronicles series and it’s just as good as the first.
Loved being there with Tasha and Levi as they face not only the old obstacles but the new ones. They still have the chemistry I love and the development as they continue to find out secrets and discover more of the enemy.
Again, I enjoyed the style the author uses in writing. It flows well, is easy to follow and is descriptive so I feel like I could step into the world.

This is the first book in the Shadow Chronicles series, and it was great. I was hooked from the beginning.
The characters are well-written and they their development as they are hardened by their experiences is believable. I really love Tasha and Levi together; they have chemistry, they’re sweet and it’s forbidden which makes it even more exciting.
I enjoyed the way the book was written, the writing flows well, things are clear and described well. I could envision clear pictures of the scenery from the author’s words.

This is a fantastic addition to the story and I devoured it so quickly. It is an exciting and fast paced fantasy story that is so well written. I loved the characters that this booked focused on. Although it is the fourth book in the series it could be read as a standalone. However, I would highly suggest reading all of the series for the best enjoyment. This book was gripping from start to finish and I became utterly engrossed in it. This is the kind of book that you read in one sitting and still want more, even after it is finished. This is a brilliant book and probably my favourite so far. I cannot wait for the next book.

Forbidden Blood (The Shadow Chronicles Book 4) by C.R. Robertson 4 Stars
This was a great instalment to this series. It focused mainly on Kimber who up until now we’ve only seen a bit of. Most of the series was focused on Tasha so this was refreshing. A new character was introduced whom I loved, Fabian. He is a shaman but is called many other names as well. He is powerful, kind and helps Kimber break out of her shell. This is their love story. It is definitely not an easy one. They have many obstacles in their way, too many creatures want to kill them. Will they get a happy ending?
Vampires and Lycans are finally working together against a common enemy. There are so many different hellsoawn. They are struggling to keep up to kill them all. They kill one and many more return. With the entrance of Fabian, he teaches them a lot. This book is filled with action, drama and plenty of secrets are revealed. This is definitely a must read but I suggest that you start at the beginning.

Robertson – Review by Anna Hirsch
This is the 4th book in The Shadow Chronicles series. I completely love this paranormal romance series. A mixture or vampires and lycans with added danger means these stories are definately a great read. I highly recommend reading this series in order so you can get the complete story. The author has done a great job with these stories and the character growth in each book keeps me reading time and time again.
We are back with Kimber. She has now become of age and is ready to join the vampire army. Her family has kept her hidden and protected until now. Kimber had special magical gifts which she needs to keep hidden from her leader However when he discovers them she becomes just another pawn in the deadly war that is raging on. However when she meets a dark King this could all change. With danger, Suspense, magic, Romance, hidden agendas and corruption this book is definately a page turner for anyone who love paranormal stories with a side helping of romance.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I enjoy this author’s writing skills as well as their ability to keep me engaged throughout the story. This book is no different. It is a well written story with immortals, magical powers and a woman who has been hidden until she is able to join the vampire army. This is a story that has much going on but the author did a great job keeping me coming back for more. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world with ease. They have great growth as well as growth with the plot. They also kept the story interesting and entertaining to read. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story that you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed reading this paranormal story. I highly recommend this book.

Yay! Series continues I was soo happy to see that there was a fourth book in this series. I love the Shadow Chronicles and this was a brilliant addition. This has something for everyone – paranormal romance, action, magical beings, drama, danger, fated mates and more. As with the previous books writing draws you in and brings the reader into a world of vampires and lycans. This is Kimberly and Fabian’s story and follows on from Tasha and Levi’s story. I can not recommend this book and the whole series enough. Bring on Book 5!!

Theresa Van Spankeren is one of my new favorite authors of all time when it comes to the paranormal! The War of Destiny series has me on the edge of my seat and wanting more! I am so excited for this series to continue! Juliana has been building up her skills for this moment, and now we understand that she’s not crazy, but that she has a power that has not been seen in a vampire in a long time! Will she be able to master this skill before she has to battle her King Valentino, or will she not be strong enough for this battle that’s been building since the time of her transition to a vampire? I love the attention to detail that Theresa Van Spankeren pays in her writing, her ability to draw you in and leave you craving more of the story is just mesmerizing! I am officially hooked and cannot wait for the next book in this exciting series! @Brandy Rymer 07/2023

Theresa Van Spankeren outdid herself on this one, adding a new character, Lane, to our cast of characters that we’ve grown to love and seek retribution for. Fallen Soul Book #4 in the War of Destiny series will not disappoint in one bit! This book follows Lane as he is on the run from Valentino’s minions, on a quest to get home safely. He runs into a group of vampires who seem to live very differently than anything he’s ever known. Will the beloved group we’ve been following since Book #1 be the answer to Lane’s problems or will they be another obstacle in his path? Lane questions whether they be friends or foes. Will he be able to trust this odd group of vampires, or will they cause him trouble as Valentino has? You will not want to miss this next book in the paranormal War of Destiny series, trust me, you’ll want to have all 5 books ready to read one after the other like I did! The waiting would be too much for anyone to bear, you will not regret this decision one bit! @Brandy Rymer 07/2023

I am in awe at how amazing the War of Destiny series by Theresa Van Spankeren is getting. I did not think anything could stand up to Book #1 but this is now by far my favorite in the series so far! Juliana has betrayed her people and now must seek help from her old Ka-tet partner Matthew, but will he turn her away or will they be able to work together to figure out what is going on? Will these apparitions that Juliana continues to see ever make sense, why are they haunting her so? This series just continues to grow on me more and more as I progress in the series. I had no idea the characters could continue to develop any more than they already have, but as I delve into each new book they continue to grow in detail, and I understand them even more fully. I am so excited to jump into reading Book #4 next, this series is the next big hit, and is a must-read for anyone who loves a good paranormal thriller with vampires! @Brandy Rymer 07/2023

Theresa Van Spankeren continues the War of Destiny series with Book #2 Pursuit into Darkness. I could not put this book down from the second I picked it up! Despite it being 70 years later for Juliana, for me no time had passed at all, we jump right back into the life and adventures of Juliana and all of her vampiric friends. There are so many well-developed characters that we fondly remember from War of Destiny Book #1 as well as some not-so-great new characters that we get to know more. I just love how full of action and excitement this series is, and love that it helps to fulfill my love of reading about vampires and the magic surrounding them. This was a great addition to the War of Destiny series; I am so excited to continue reading the next book in the series! @Brandy Rymer 07/2023

Lost Soul is the first book of the War of Destiny series by Theresa Van Spankeren. This book had an amazing development of characters, they were so realistic. Juliana, our main character is such a strong, vibrant young woman when we first meet her in the story, so full of life and hopes of a future filled with love. This is sadly not the future that she is meant to have, and it just broke my heart! The abuse that she endures amazes me, it is so realistic, you feel like you are right there with her, feeling her fears, her pains, and her grief over a life that she was not meant to have. This book is so intriguing, it primarily takes place in view of Juliana’s life and all that she must endure, when there is a knock at the window, as she answers the call her whole life will come to a fork in the road where she needs to decide which path she wants to take, remain in her personal hell, or accept the help of this stranger. I must warn you, once you start reading this book, you will not want to stop, it is fantastic! @Brandy Rymer 07/2023

“ She was an addiction I never anticipated, but I would slaughter anyone who even contemplated harming her. ”
“ 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. ”
Colour me a happy little bookworm right now. This right here is pure paranormal perfection!! One of my top three books for the year so far!!! All the stars!!!! Forbidden Blood is the spellbinding fourth instalment in The Shadow Chronicles by C.R Robertson. I devoured the first three books and they immediately hit my favourites list, so to say I was excited to get my hands on this fourth instalment is a bit of an understatement. I shoved everything else I was reading aside, and plunged right in to submerge myself in the story. I was so engrossed in everything that it only took me a couple of hours to read it as I practically inhaled it. I got to the end and turned around and started it again- it was THAT GOOD!!! I had such high expectations for this book, as I adored the previous books (well lets be honest here, I have read and adored ALL Ms. Robertsons books) so this had a lot to live up to. But, again, Ms. Robertson didn’t disappoint conjuring an incredibly riveting read that has taken my addiction to C.R Robertson’s work to a whole new high- but it’s an addiction I have no intention of quitting any time, ever! This is definitely another jewel to add to Ms. Robertson’s crown. Even though this is the fourth book in the series, it could be read as a stand alone if you wished. But in saying that, you would be seriously missing out on some spellbinding reading if you didn’t read the first three books- plus there is some continuing story arc as well as some shared timeline and other details that you will want to have on board to be able to fully appreciate this exciting instalment, and the series as a whole. This is Kimber and Fabian’s story- we met Kimber previously as she is Tasha’s younger sister (Tasha and Levi’s story was in the previous three books). Kimber has never felt like she belonged. Always felt like she wasn’t ‘enough’. Always felt like she lived in the shadow of her older, more talented and capable sister. But fate has had its own plan for her all along, and the time has come for her destiny to be unleashed. Get set, because Kimber’s world is about to take a very intriguing turn. Add a swoony, smouldering, mysteriously sexy man to the mix, and the sparks fly. This is a fast-paced, action-packed, adrenaline fuelled, paranormal romance, with a complex, multi-layered, and addictive storyline. The story is incredible, with vampires, shifters, Lycans, magic, different realms, demon hellspawn, witches, sizzling chemistry, politics, agendas, drama, danger, secrets, paranormal beings, battle/fight scenes, violence, adventure, sizzling encounters, fated mates, forbidden romance, and incredibly high stakes. Again, I absolutely love Ms. Robertson’s take on Vampire lore, her imagination knows no bounds, and tells a very compelling and exciting story. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING!!! Seriously, if you love fantasy, paranormal romance, or just love being immersed in a spellbinding adventure- then you will really want to get your hands on this book/series, STAT! You really won’t be disappointed! But prepared for the massive heat wave and the addiction that will come with it!! I am so excited to see what comes next…. Book #5 can’t come quickly enough!!! Happy Reading!

I love C.R Robertson’s writing so I was jumping with joy when I saw this new book was out. Forbidden Blood is the fourth masterfully crafted book in the amazing original Shadow Chronicles by C.R. Robertson. Who doesn’t love a good story that is full of Lycans and Vampires. This series just keeps getting better and better sometimes 5 stars doesn’t seem enough. This engrossing paranormal forbidden romance story has something for supernatural lovers and as with the other books in the series it will blow you away. CR’s writing paints a vivid picture each and every character and the world building and wordsmithing allows my imagination to run with the possibilities. Forbidden Blood is action packed, danger and secrets, drama and adventure, paranormal creatures, magical beings, fated mates and magic. Pawns are being used in a deadly game of war where there are hidden agendas, corruption and where evil is lurking. This paranormal suspense is a sweet seduction at its best. It is so easy to get swept up in this journey and pulled into this world. This cleverly woven tale is pulled together with multiple layers and complex threads that kept me glued to the pages. I really can’t wait for more.

Julia is a young woman in appearance, but in reality, she is a vampire and albeit she is young in comparison to others, she has had to endure more than most. It is well known that vampires gain abilities as thru age, but Julia instead struggles with a feeling akin to madness, but all that changed when she was confronted by something impossible and this is where the truth became known and finally, accepted.
After all that happened in the build up to when she betrayed the Resistance and her ka-tet, between hearing voices, seeing apparitions and realistic dreams, all the trust her group had built up was destroyed and Julia has been trying to make up for it ever since. They all thought she was delusional and so did she, but this harm went deeper than anyone initially realised, so when Julia is at her most defeated, the light finally shines through and help is sought from another group of vampires who can hopefully teach Julia about her gift, the ability to see and hear the dead, something which hasn’t been seen in centuries and would explain why Valentino was able to take the advantages which he did.
This is when it finally looks like life can get back in track in a manner of speaking and when the Resistance find out that Julia isn’t insane, they want proof, but will Julia be able to master her gift enough in the time frame they give her, or will Valentino come to throw another spanner in the works? This is another fast paced installment into this paranormal romance which is full of action, adventure and vampires galore as you race across countries, as time runs out and complications arise to detail any attempts at normality.
