Bloodrose: A Nightshade Novel

De: Andrea Cremer

Narrado por: Rebecca Lowman

Calla has always welcomed war.
But now that the final battle is upon her, there’s more at stake than fighting. There’s saving Ren, even if it incurs Shay’s wrath. There’s keeping Ansel safe, even if he’s been branded a traitor. There’s proving herself as the pack’s alpha, facing unnamable horrors, and ridding the world of the Keepers’ magic once and for all. And then there’s deciding what to do when the war ends. If Calla makes it out alive, that is.
In the final installment of the Nightshade trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Andrea Cremer creates a novel with twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat until its final pages. A dynamic end to a breathtaking trilogy.

I enjoyed it!

I know there are mixed reviews on this series and especially this 3rd installment, but I enjoyed every bit of it! I was recommended this series by a High school friend and was thrilled when I found this audio version. I feel the narrator was very pleasant to listen too, calming even. I thought her tone was well matched with the story. I was saddened but also content with the ending, it wasn't predictable and I was kept interested in listening to find out if Cala got what she wanted in the end.

Good But???.

Would you be willing to try another book from Andrea Cremer? Why or why not?

I'm not sure at this point. Feelings can enhance a story but in this case there is too much of the same tedious inner conflict.

Was Bloodrose: A Nightshade Novel worth the listening time?

The storyline is greatly diminished by the monotonous inner turmoil of the main character that is really annoying. Do I love this one or that one and should I pick this one or that one, blah blah blah? She's an ALPHA WOLF who demonstrates too much weakness and fear and not enough strength of character or self control. This in itself is a huge contradiction. I have listened to all the books hoping this one would have less inner monologue but it seems to have more.

So sad this is the end but LOVED this trilogy!

Would you listen to Bloodrose: A Nightshade Novel again? Why?

Yes. I have a feeling I will be listening to this trilogy over and over again!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Bloodrose: A Nightshade Novel?

The ending. When listening to on audible I was so engrossed in the last four hours I couldn't do anything else but just listen and stay on the edge of my seat waiting!

Have you listened to any of Rebecca Lowman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Just her other performances in the other two Nightshade books. All were do wonderfully I lover her voice and how well she bring so much emotion out in her voice and words

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes... And I did lol

Any additional comments?

Once again just go buy the whole nightshade trilogy worth every penny. This book was a good ending to the trilogy that I have come to love.

awesome

Review:

I was so sad to get to the last book of this series. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the book but I didn’t want it to be over so I tried to take my time. I couldn’t I rushed through it as fast as the audio would let me. I loved this last book. It was a bitter sweet end to a wonderful journey.

Long story short :

There isn’t much to say about the book’s plot. Readers have seen what’s coming. Nightshade started it and Wolfsbane prepared for it, now Bloodrose will end it. The final showdown, the final battle between Keepers and Searchers, each with wolves by their side. Loyalties have been changed and the packs divided. Now it is time to end it all. Calla will finally have to make a choice between Shay and Ren and become alpha.

My thoughts :

I loved the ending to this series. Well at the time it was the ending to the series. Now there is a fourth installment. I am happy about that but I am not sure which direction the book will take us. Bloodrose had a pretty closed ending, and ending I thought was fit for the series.

This book definitely had my emotions all over the place. I was sad, happy, excited, confused, irritated, frustrated and so much more. The same beautiful writing style, the same awesome storytelling skills, and of course some really cool characters. I really wasn’t sure what the ending would look like and I never expected what I got. For sure the book was full of surprises and shocks.

I must say that I think Calla frustrated me the most in this book. By the third book, she should know what she wants and make up her mind. The playing with both boys hearts really had me at wits end. I loved both boys. I started out liking Shay and Hating Ren… then I put up with Shay and I started to feel for Ren… in the end I loved them both. They both had their great qualities, their weaknesses, and a place in my heart. I knew in my heart who Calla should choose but it didn’t make it any easier for me. Sometimes I really thought Calla didn’t deserve either one of them. In the end Calla figured it all out and redeemed herself in my eyes.

The other characters in the book are really the best characters for me.. Conner, Bryn, Ansel, and so many more. I love them all. I grew so close to each and every one of them and it broke my heart every time they were hurt. Andrea Cremer does not shy away from hurt, pain, broken hearts, and even death.

I think this was a wonderful ending to a great story



In the end :

A roller coaster of a ride, so many twists and turns and heartache and joys. Loved it!
