Oh my Helen! Yet another part I couldn’t put down. We finally got some answers, but now we have more questions that are running in circles. I love the suspense of this saga. Between the family and hospital what in the world is going on?? Anxiously waiting for part 6!
The deeper and deeper I get into this story, the more and more questions need answering. There is so much suspense in this instalment. I was frantically turning pages needing to know what happens next.
Dante and Erin continue to put things together to try and get some understanding of this Blood Bond that has them connected forever. We find out who the person Erin was seeing as a ghost is and that they are there to protect not just Dante but now Erin since she’s bonded with him for life now. Dante learns things about this ghost and who it is, and he struggles to come to terms with the fact that ghosts are real, and that this ghost is a massive part of him..
More people start to go missing from the hospital where Erin works, and it has Erin questioning what’s going on around her. She still struggling to come to terms with the whole vampire thing and the blood bond, but that doesn’t stop her desire and passion for Dante from deepening.
More and more things are happening, more questions need answering, and more characters are being added to the story and they all have their own reason in being there, some of those reasons are still unknown.
Dante and Erin connection continue to become strong, the bond between them thickens. The passion, the lust and desire continue to heighten and things continue to get even more intense. Which I didn’t think was possible after instalment 4 but of course Helen proves me wrong and smashing this instalment out the park! Once again, Helen leaves me on the edge of my seat, a million damn questions I need answers for and now I have to wait for part 6!! BRING IT ON!
The bond between Dante and Erin is getting stronger.
Dante, is still trying to figure out who kidnapped him all those years ago, AND, who is feeding off Erin are emotions within him, that are growing stronger each day. Only for him to turn up short at every turn.
The ghost that Erin had encountered first in book 4, turns out to be, Dante’s dad. He’s there to watch over Dante and now Erin, because they were now bonded together forever.
The challenge is still there for Erin to find out what was going on with the missing patients and she still hasn’t gotten to the bottom of the reason for the need of so much B+ blood.
GAH! Helen, there are so many questions I have, and now, with you being the queen of cliffhangers (I wouldn’t change you for the world) I have to wait for book 6 for those answers.
Yet again, 5stars is what this book is getting from me and the entire series should get 100 stars for being so fabulous.
Erin is so close to fully excepting Dante for being a vampire, even more people go missing, and more questions about who had Dante for 10 years! Helen Hardt has done and absolutely amazing job with this story line!!! I need more of Dante and Erin!!!
This is the fifth of a six part saga and you can definitely feel a big climax is coming. Erin is trying to wrap her head around everything that has happened with Dante and her new knowledge of vampires. Dante knows she probably just needs some time and space to come to terms, but since her safety is risk, he just can’t give it to her. As each question is answered, it seems to open up even more questions and mysteries. This series has been loaded with suspense and it has not let up for a second. I’m anxious to see how everything will fall into place in part 6, but also really do not want to say goodbye to Erin and Dante and this wonderful paranormal world Helen Hardt has created.
This book starts with a mystery that has yet to be solved. It’s the driving force for this story. Even though Erin and Dante become more intimate here, we are pulled deeper into a mystery that starts with Dante but weaves itself into Erin’s world.
One of our secondary characters has returned to add to the mystery. And our author had added in a new character. We’ll just have to wait and see if he helps toward a solution or if just add to what has yet to be solved.
One thing that is certain is that our author is not done with us yet. That makes me very happy. I like a story where there’s more going on than just watching a relationship develop between our main characters. It was also nice to see that Erin has a hard time processing some of what’s going on. On the other hand, she’s pretty sure about others. But the ending gives me not one but two more mysteries to add to the mix. I can’t wait for more. This author has to know she has me hooked – my old Dark Shadows obsession just may have been replaced.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
Blood Bond Saga Part 5 & is the next to the last book in the series. Wow what a road this book/series has taken us on. As we are nearing the conclusion of this series it has amped up the happenings!
Erin and Dante’s story continues. Erin knows what Dante is, a Vampire. Dante is really becoming a Dominant and Erin can’t resist him, she submits willingly. Oh, did I say how HOT this book is? Part 5 has suspense & mystery mixed in as Dante hunts for an answer about the blood bond. His father is in the picture as a ghost who is out to protect Dante.
I can’t wait for more of this story and the conclusion in Part 6. Thankfully it will be out soon!
Each of these books are Novella’s and they need to be read in order. You can buy Unchained: Blood Bond Part 1, 2 & 3 in (Volume 1) now. And, Unhinged: Blood Bond: Parts 4, 5 & 6 (Volume 2), October 30, 2018. Now bring on Part 6!
William Shakespeare wrote, “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, then are dreamt of in your philosophy.” This concept is illustrated beautifully by Ms. Hardt in this next phase of Erin and Dante’s story. Each one has questions and the answers are a challenge to find. Erin is doing things contrary to her nature as she believes it will help Dante. Dante has done his best to explain certain things to Erin but he is holding back. A surprise awaits Dante to help guide him to his true purpose but will he have the necessary faith and trust he needs? One must not forget the Queen who captured Dante and is still invading his thoughts….Oh what a tangled web is weaved with this fifth book of the series that keeps the reader hanging on every word and begs the question of who can be trusted? This is one mesmerizing read that will have you on the edge of your seat salivating for the next part of Erin and Dante’s adventure.
I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
Omg. This is one of my favorite Paranormal romance for this year. I have read a few books from this talented author but she continues to blow my mind. This is the fifth part of the amazing Blood Bond series. You need to read these books in order or you will be completely lost. I was hooked on the first page and I could not stop. I devoured this incredible story in one sitting.
This book starts right where the last one ends. Erin is still trying to wrap her head around what is going on. She loves Dante but can she love the real him. Erin is learning that the disappearances might be due to some other vampires in the town. When a person from Dante’s past comes to help them she is shocked again that everything she believed is totally wrong. They have to find a Vampire Textbook to see what this Blood Bond means for the both of them. Will they find the answers they are looking for or will they find danger instead?
“The ineffable flavor intensified. I couldn’t get enough. Enough of Dante. Enough of my blood on Dante’s lips and tongue.
HOLY CRAP!! THIS IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST INSTALLMENT YET!! Is it October 30th yet? I need part 6 NOW! I can NOT stress enough how much I am LOVING this saga. Each part to this saga take you deeper than the last. The pages consume your mind, making you desperate for more. Once you start reading them you just can NOT stop. My mind is reeling with questions. The mystery the author brings in this Saga is seriously some of the best I’ve read. I love a good suspense but this is on a whole new level. I’ve never been so ready to see how sonething ends, but at the same time desperately not wanting the story to end. Dante and Erin are two characters that I seriously can NOT get enough of. Everything about them draws you in. I have never craved characters like I am Dante and Erin. Their need for each other is all consuming and intense. I have never seen chemistry like these two have. Dante and Erin are definitely out to take you for a mysteriously passionate ride.
“Though I didn’t taste chocolate or wine, I did taste something— something amorphous that I couldn’t describe. It was absolutely delicious.”
Erin surprised me the most this book! So many times she took me by surprise rather it be with her actions, or words. Her character is definitely elvoving with each part to this Saga. I can see why Dante is so obsessed with her. Erin has a uncanny ability of following her heart. I envy her ability to put mind over matter. Her devotion and bond to Dante truly has no limits.
“I choose to believe you’re special, Erin. Because you are. Especially to me.”
Dante, Dant, Dante. This vampire seriously owns my heart y’all. He seriously is the whole Alpha Vampire package! His character developed, and grew over this book as well. Dante still has alot to learn, but he is finally starting to find his way. With each book, ypu unlock a little more of his mysteries. Dante Gabriel may be full of secrets, but I am ready to devour every single one.
*5 STARS!!*
This was one of the most explosive endings yet! I WANT MORE! If you have not started this Saga yet, I truly can NOT express how much you are missing out. IT. IS. JUST. SO. GOOD. GAH.
“Life was getting more than complicated.”
This has been my favorite book of the series thus far. So much happens in Part 5. Some questions are answered and some are explained a little. Erin is getting closer to excepting what Dante is but also dealing with new elements thrown her way. But she isn’t the only one having a hard time excepting reality, Dante is struggling as well. Both are looking into the future and are starting to have a little hope. I’m left with more questions and even more theories. Can’t wait to find out which one, if any, are true.
“My vision sharpened. I’d felt protective of Erin before, but now that I’d taken her blood, red rage consumed me.”

BLOOD BOND SAGA # 5 By Helen Hardt
Book 5 picks up right at the end of book 4. I suggest you wait until you have time to read this before picking it up, as you won’t want to put it down! The more Dante figures out, the more questions arise. He is remembering where the term Once Bonded, Never Broken is coming from his past. Erin is trying to understand vampires and how she could be in love with one. She is totally head over heels in love and lust with Dante. More mysteries come to light, someone is feeding on Erin without her knowledge, more vampires, where Dante’s old captor is, ghosts, voodoo, and what is happening at the hospital….I NEED book 6!
This series just keeps getting better. Now Erin and Dante has to deal with Ghosts, demons, abductions, and death. What more could there be to write in the next installment? I’m excited to see what Helen does next!
Holy damn!!!
So much information, my mind was all over the place, it’s so overwhelming and amazing, I’ve said it before I just love the mystery and it’s one of the best Vampire series out there, it’s just so damn good!!
Blood Bond by Helen Hardt is part Five in the Blood Bond Saga. The story continues of Dante Gabriel and Erin Hamilton. This Saga is a 6 part story line that you cannot put down.
Erin is still working on understanding and excepting the vampire concept and what had happened in the past with Dante. Along with there is the new revelation of Dante father being a ghost. Dante is still looking for answers on what and who actually kept him along with his present feelings with Erin.
I am torn between wanting the end their story or not having the next book to look forward too.
What a page turn this has been so far!
Blood Bond Saga: Part Five by Helen Hardt was another great read by the author. Erin and Dante are trying to find out more about the blood bond that they share. Unfortunately answers are not easy to come by. I absolutely love Erin and Dante’s story and can’t wait to read more of this great series.
So Riveting, and suspenseful. Dante and Erin just keep getting better! They can’t stay away from each other as a darker force draws near can Dante protect Erin from things he doesn’t even understand?
Helen Hardt knocks it clean out of the park with the 5th Edition in this Saga!
What do you do when you’re not sure of the people in your life along with the beliefs that you were raised on? That’s some of the questions that Dante will have to face. Erin has her own issues regarding vampires and their existence. Will the Vampyre Texts have the answers? What does the Nocturnal Truth have to do with it all? I hope that we get some answers in Part 6, not sure how I’ll make it til then.
Part 5 has been the most intense so far. Dante and Erin have so many strange things happening around them. Strange behavior from family members, ghost sightings, voodoo priestess’ with “the sight”, the many disappearances from the hospital where Erin works. Erin has been researching the disappearing patients and has found that all are B positive. The voodoo high priestess is seeing evil around them and Erin has seen a ghost that just might be important to their future.
I’m not even sure what to say about Part 5. It is a roller coaster ride of emotions, questions and answers. This is one of the things I love about Helen Hardt’s writing style. She gets you so tied up in the story you can’t quit until you have consumed it all as you must find out all the answers. Loving every page of this saga.
While everything continues to be upside down in their world, Dante and Erin can’t resist each other. The story is full of mystery and steam. I can’t wait to see what comes next. This Saga does not disappoint. I just don’t enjoy reading such small parts at a time and then waiting for more.
