Blood of the Dragon Shifter: Ya Paranormal Academy Book Three (Blakemore Paranormal Academy 3)

What a great conclusion. Be prepared to get your feels yanked around a lot here. I love that we get to hear more of Sebastian’s voice. Overall, this is a very satisfying wrap up of this story line. Also a great lead in to EC Farrell’s Ghost Academy.

The Kings Keep was already seperated by law, but now as war rages outside of the borders, it may be the safest place for Cade. If only she didn’t feel like a complete outsider. Let alone Sebastians ex still having a place by his side.

I am not as big of a Bash fan as others, so was a chunk of the book where I just wanted to smack bim. Hence the 4 stars rather than 5. I was wishing for more Blakemore or associated students. Once we step away from some of the dragon clan based issues, I was sucked right back in.

I loved this book. I loved how the author completed the series tying up all the loose ends yet leaves a door open for possible spin offs of this world. The characters are so lovably imperfect and i enjoyed reading their journey.
“I voluntarily received this book for an honest review”

These two authors are extremely taleneted…so thank you so much for an incredible story to not only read, but to love and enjoy every minute of. So guys if you haven’t even started this series….um why the hell not? No better time then now!

Go get yourself settled in and ready…so you can get lost inside this world where you literally won’t want to put the book down.

I honestly don’t know where to start with this book…I know the beginning is usually a great starting point…but dang so many emotions were brought out through this book…that I’m beginning to question my sanity. So let’s just go with it. Should be fun right?

Thinking, thinking….okay so you remember how that last book ended right? With Cade kinda being a Sleeping Beauty? Yeah well, this book picks right up from there and we dive right in. So take a deep breath before you begin because once you start…there’s not a whole heap of breathing space.

So as I said, just make sure you’re ready for this book before you start…So the start of this book begins in Sebastian’s POV because you know Cade’s a little busy sleeping off being almost drained by restoring all the Supes powers back…but poor Bash isn’t doing too well with his girl not waking up. Instead of being at Blakemore though they – being Kurt (because he’s awesome and won’t leave his besties side), Cade and Bash, are heading off to the Locke Clan for protection….and also remember his Mum summoned him home? So that’s where it all begins.

But not everything is as he hoped when they arrive….while Bash’s clan is more than happy to see him return, they even start declaring their fealty to him…which is great and all but you remember that fiancé Sebastian had before his title was stripped? Ally? Grr I wanted to punch her the moment I saw her. I know, I know…I shouldn’t judge from first sight but still…I didn’t like her, like at all….Who knew I was so violent ?

But dude she kissed him on the lips like right after he shifted!! Major point loss chick. Although, I’m pretty sure we were never meant to like her so…it’s all totally justifiable right?

But after that first meeting his mum and Ally are not pleased to hear about Cade and this so called bond…and from the moment Cade wakes up these two woman are set on getting rid of her. Bash is kept busy as the father (man I HATE that dude), is sick and not doing anything.

Many games are being played….Some more serious than others but after a party turns unexpectedly bad for Cade, she can’t take being at the castle any longer and she leaves…and the prince doesn’t follow. Can I just say regardless at what point you are at in this story I always felt like I was in need of trying to pull the pieces of my heart back together. Think of Humpty Dumpty. That’s a good comparison.

In the midst of all this, we then have that annoying ex-boyfriend Toby? Well seriously he’s a psycho but besides that, he’s making matters worse and become an extremist against all the paranormals and their rights and basically stirring up a WHOLE lot of drama! You see when Cade sent back the powers to those that had been suppressed…it wasn’t just to those at the school. It was everywhere. Like from those in Supernatural Prisons, that kinda level of bad. So that means a lot of not so good Supes got out into the world only helping Toby’s ploy more.

Between all this Cade requests that her parents reopen Blakemore to try and make things right, for those that need a safe place, to make it a refuge for all those that need it. Wanting to mend bridges they do so.

So back home she goes with Kurt who is an amazing and the bestest friend anyone could ever have, I might add…and they then finally get to see her other friends! Sadly Olivia is a no show but I think I might’ve throat punched her if she had been.

Don’t ask me why this book made me so violent lol but it did. Maybe you’ll understand it more if you read it? Who knows, I’m just very protective of my boy Kurt. But aside from all the violence, at times my heart was hurting so much it felt like it was going to burst from me. Don’t expect everything to feel like it’s all sorting itself out. I know as I was getting to the end and it said 88% done and I was like…Ahh this can’t be right…as panics

But it all works out in the end. You may be an emotional wreck but hey everything is once again right in the world and you have to come back to reality….which kinda stinks because books verse reality? I think books might be the winner in most circumstances.

Believe me, you will ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK! And if you don’t hmmmm we may have some issues in our friendship.

if you love paranormal worlds that will tug at your heart and make you feel everything the characters do…then I think you will love this world!

I really loved so much about these books. I loved watching the friendships as they develop and they are truly something to love! There was just something soo special with the friendship of Kurt and Cade. It just really touched my heart he was just so gentle and perfect with her and gave me all the feels when he calls her “baby girl”. Of course I absolutely loved Willow as well and her determination to stand beside Cade no matter what and she really did do that…they were just amazingly written characters that had so much depth to them. I’m going to miss these guys!

Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows…there’s very few in-between moments but they do catch a few so make sure you enjoy those times while they last.

Okay I think I’ve talked your ears off enough at this point, so I shall leave it at that.

Happy Readings
