The third book in the Book of Sindal series, Celeste’s story.Since the tender age of four, Celeste Whelan has known her duty—use her powers to defeat the Dark Force, a group of mages who are intent on overthrowing the Valerian government. Her erratic expression magic and her inability to master it give her the perfect excuse to seek help from the Dark Set. It also makes her the perfect martyr. … martyr.
What Celeste doesn’t expect is for the Dark Set to set her up with another expression mage, Zane Chambers. He wants nothing to do with Celeste, and the feeling is mutual. But there’s no denying Zane he has answers about her magic, answers that will help her steal the magic abilities from all the members of the Dark Set.
But the Book of Sindal—the book of evil spells the Whelan family has guarded for centuries—is offering Celeste the Crown of Blood, an offer that is becoming harder to resist. Celeste has a mission to fulfill, and she’ll do anything to do it.
Even if it means giving up everything she loves.

Crown of Blood was a perfect ending to the Book of Sindal series! Celeste’s story and personality is just as amazing as I hoped it would be. I love her fight and spirit. Zane is a great powerful mage and I loved his and Celeste’s fire. I loved having insight into Phoebe and Rowan’s world too. I am sad this is the end of Book of Sindal. I really would love to have more Celeste, Zane, Rowan, Logan, Phoebe, and Brandon.
Where do I start? If you have read the first two books in the Book of Sindal series this is definitely a must read! If you haven’t read the first two, what are you waiting on? I think Celeste is my favorite of the three sisters! Her magic is wild and untamed, but Celeste makes a plan. She works with Zane who helps her control her magic a little more. Throughout the book, I am not always sure who Celeste should trust, but this book kept me on edge and was one I didn’t want to stop reading until i was done! Love this series and the Whelan sisters!!
Crown of Blood is sadly the last of this trilogy series. Celeste’s story is heartbreaking and yet inspiring. I absolutely love CeeCee and I’m not ready for this world to end. I absolutely loved this novel and it was the best hangover I have had in awhile. This series is so good that I’m actually fixing to start another reread. If you like witches pick this series up. If you like sisterhood or strong women, this series is your jam!!
I absolutely loved this incredibly amazing final book of a brilliant series! Authors done another fantastic job writing Celeste’s story. Well, this time we were inside Celeste’s head to give us understanding of her side of things. It explained so much! This book gave so many answers to the questions we had from the previous two books and much more. It had me go through all kind of emotions, feelings from crying to laughing, anger to joy, disgust to pleasure, leaving my heart sing at the end. I think I love Celeste even more than I thought I would. Oh, and Zane! Speaking of soulmates is not enough to their story which I enjoyed every second of it! Brilliantly written, incredible characters, strong relationships between them and unique magical powers! Everything else you should discover by yourself because you are going to love this series if only you are brave enough to read it!
I absolutely loved book 3 of the Book of Sindal series! Celeste is maybe my favorite of the 3 sisters. There’s so much to her, both regarding her magic and her actual persona. I loved the addition of Zane. He was such a great complement to Celeste. Plus Celeste’s story includes a good amount of Phoebe and Rowan and their men, which I enjoyed as well. Crown of Blood was filled with tons of answers from the past 2 books, as well as lots of twists and turns throughout the novel. I couldn’t put it down. I’m sad to see the series ending, but what a terrific wrap up this is!
This beautiful book is the 3rd and final book of the Book of Sindal series. This time we get to know Celeste and find out her plans for the dark set. This book was so exciting and totally unputdownable. I absolutely loved it! Celeste is amazing and selfless. I had no idea this was her plan all along. She’s definitely the strongest character and that has nothing to do with her magic. Being in her head this time was…well lets just be cheesy and say it was magical. I loved Zane and Lisa, doing so much to help other people. The ending was perfect! It’s bittersweet being the final book. But this series is going to be one I revisit again and again.
Great read! If you want to venture into paranormal, this is a good series to start with. Can’t put it down!
Celeste’s story may be my favorite, but I was left wanting more…
Each book in this series has brought it’s own unique insight to the story. This third book in the youngest sister’s perspective shows she is by far the most intricate character of the series. I did truly love being in her head and seeing some of the burdens she has had to carry alone be revealed. My only negative feedback is that the ending felt rushed. There has been so much build up in the two previous books and even in the first three quarters of this book, that for the conclusion to be neatly wrapped up in just the last few chapters felt wrong. I’m still giving it five stars because it is worth reading and keeps you captivated throughout. However, there is a lot more that could be explored storyline wise in the Wheeland sister’s world, especially after the ending of this book.
The book I have been waiting for every since I started reading this series. Celeste. I’m so glad to finally read her story. She is such a strong character. Finding our her past and why she is so different, and her power. Such an exciting book. I was so into the story I read it within a day, near the ending my heart was racing. Denise has out done herself again.
Absolutely loved this book! I’m am so sad it ended and I wish there was more! The ending caught me by surprise. I wasn’t expecting it. The characters and the story was very well written. Read it! You won’t be disappointed with this series!
I could not get into this book. I obviously need to read the first two books first as I was totally lost trying to get into the plot. Will change this review if I read the first two books.
Grand finale. This book gives many answers from previous books and secrets come to light. Celeste is a real treasure! I loved watching her grow and come into her own and triumph! Sad to see the end of the series, but what an adventure!
Oh my goodness, this book had me on the edge of my seat! It took me a few chapters to get back into the Whelan sisters world, but once you’re there, you feel you are right beside them for the ride.
The tale of The Book Of Sindal comes to a conclusion with Celeste’s side of the story. She had been called the crazy one by people outside of the family but I think she was deeply misunderstood. Her level of magic was not seen often and therefore it had to be bad. Little did they know, with the right training and guidance, she would be in full control.
Celeste proved herself more than enough for me, and I loved her character. She wasn’t too powerful and objectionable to realize Zane was there to help her. He was the exact person her sole needed to be able to fight the Dark Force and have a contented life. He could light my orb any day! I was also happy with the extra time we got with Phoebe and Rowan and to hear of their futures in the epilogue. Great finish to a brilliant series.
This final book in the Book of Sindal series still has my mind spinning. In Crown of Blood, we get to be in the head of the youngest Whelan, Celeste. Her magic is so beautiful, as well as her mind! So many questions from the first two books in the series were answered in this magical book. I could not put this book down all day. It had me literally on the edge of my recliner! My heart beating fast, seeing how Celeste was going to get through this! There were surprises, that were all phenomenal. Step out of your comfort zone and read this series. You will not be disappointed, as usual with a D.G. Swank book! Absolute 5 stars!!!
Oh where do I even begin?? A wild roller coaster ride of a story. The authors of this book wrote a book that kept me on the edge of my seat not wanting to stop reading it. There were twists and trust issues. Not to mention a father that has his own agenda. If you have read the other two book, you need to get this book. Celeste’s story is one that you need to read. So much awesomeness in one book.
I was so looking forward to reading this book and was NOT disappointed! Celeste’s story is fantastic! This book explains many things from the previous two books especially regarding the relationships of these three sisters. I greatly enjoyed Celeste’s process to gain control of her magic, the introduction of Zane, and her plan to take out the dark set. Twists and turns create drama and intrigue as the reader travels this journey with Celeste. An ending that suggests an end but leaves doors open for addition books. Fantastic characters – a great read!!
