Dante has made his way back to his own version of hell. We now know exactly who the Queen is (and yes, I was right), but are still unclear of what she’s really up to. With everyone underground in her world, answers start flooding in and her ambitions are incredible. Her plans are a bit radical and a lot insane and this volume was all about taking her down and saving everyone she’s been holding captive. The darkness that continues to haunt Dante becomes more of an integral part of this story and I loved the many descriptors that were used for its presence. I swear, the author is constantly making Dante hotter, making it hard for me to let go.
So there’s Dante, Erin, River, Jay, and Dante’s ghost dad, all searching for their loved ones, encountering old acquaintances, and finding out why the Gabriels were targeted. While dealing with the repercussions of their presence in an unauthorized area, Erin and Dante still found time to have sex and strengthen their bond. There’s no doubt that these two are very much in love. Parts of the story became repetitive and made it drag a bit, but I was still as thoroughly entertained as I expected to be.
I think coming up with a stunning ending for a saga is hard for both the author and the reader. As much as I was clamoring for the conclusion to the Blood Bond Saga, I didn’t really want to say goodbye to Dante. Thankfully the author left a huge hint that the story isn’t really over.
The action pact, steamy and entertaining conclusion to Dante and Erins story was everything I hoped it would be. Though I’m loathe to let them go and hope one day maybe we will be lucky enough to see more from their world! It picks up where it left off and is pretty pact with action and suspense, some secrets will be revealed though it does seem kind of open ended and rapped up pretty quickly in the last few pages. That would be my only complaint in the entire series. Hopefully no one else feels that way. All in all I loved it and it’s a five start from me!
What a whirlwind! Dante, Erin and all the gang really know how to have an adventure! It had action, drama, suspense and delicious naughtiness.
This series is simply by far one of the best series i have ever read!
Dante and Erin have proven their love and trust in each other over and over as they rush to save their loved ones and understand what is happening to them and to Dante. so many questions are finally answered in this last book and things finally make sense. the understanding and trust Erin and Dante have for one another just goes to show how true their love is for one another.
Before you go any further-this is definitely not a stand-alone. This paranormal romance story has interested me from the very beginning, and this authors ability to draw us into an intricate web of an action packed plot, is worthy of so much more than five stars.
This book showed the absolute versatility of this author-she was able to write a paranormal story that was just so utterly unputdownable. I fell in love with each character-though it did seem helpful for me to write each one down to keep everyone straight. Dante and Erin were such an amazing couple throughout this series-and we really saw all of the strengths Dante possessed when him and Erin were able to grow and survive everything that they went through. This is definitely one of the best paranormal romance releases this year! – By Victoria
Love this book! It was amazing…. what a page turner!! Answered a lot of things….Seems it was left open ended… could there be another book??? Guessing we will have to wait and find out! Helen is an amazing writer! WOW!!!!
The latest in the Blood Bond series does not disappoint. After the story seemed to flag a little in the last volume, it really picked up in volume five. The story picks up immediately after the revelations at the end of Unmasked (vol 4). Throughout the three sections, Erin and Dante try to solve the questions that have been posed throughout the series. They do get some answers, but more questions are raised. The action is much quicker in this volume, which I appreciated. I especially liked the way they find the answers in the book (no spoiler!) I was a little disappointed in the end, because I thought it was a little too light for everything that had happened, but I did like where it left off and that there is still more resolution to come. This review was written based on a complimentary pre-release digital ARC.
Is this the end or is it a new beginning?? Delve down into the depths where Dante has spent the past ten years of his life before his return and follow his journey along with Erin and the rest of their family members while they make some shocking discoveries. Ms. Heart has once again delivered a stellar storyline that picks up from where the last book leaves off and weaves a tale that is destined to live longer than time. I highly recommend this series!
I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book and all opinions are my own.
Dante and Erin feel the bond even stronger as Blood Bond: Undefeated begins. Drawn to the lair of the queen in hopes of finding their missing loved ones, Erin and Dante, along with River and Jay, must navigate the dark, battle vampires and try to resist the Queens glamouring. Dante remembers more of his time while held in captivity and how to keep the darkness at bay. Erin must help save her best friend, Lucy, after she realizes who is behind all the kidnapping and torturing of her friends and family. As they travel through the maze of the hidden underground hospital and torture chambers, Dante and Erin find little hidden truths in the text that was given to Erin and in the memories that continue to flood Dante. The unfurling mystery that Helen Hardt has written will keep you turning the pages and praying that Dante and Erin find the answers they seek and the love they so much deserve.
Undefeated (Blood Bond Saga #13-15) was another great read by Helen Hardt. Erin has followed Dante into his own personal hell, the place that he was held captive. They are there to confront the woman who kept Dante hostage. Un fortunately she still has a hold on Dante that he tries to fight. He allows her to think that she still commands him as long as it serves his purpose. I have absolutely loved reading Erin and Dante’s story. I love how well Helen has written these characters so that you fall in love with them. I can’t wait to read more by Helen Hardt.
Helen Hardt is the queen of suspense! She truly knows how to write amazing stories that’ll keep you guessing, even when you’re positive you know what’s going to happen. I love Dante and Erin, being able to watch their relationship grow throughout this series, while overcoming the past, has been an amazing journey. I’ll review in more detail under each individual book, but the sets are a must-own!
Helen Hardt has done it yet again. She never ceases to amaze. I am so happy she decided to take the dive into PNR.
This book was 100% worth the wait. You will be on the edge of your seat the entire time.
Some bonds are never broken. Dante continues to grow and flourish in his new powers. He will fight until the end for what he wants. Erin is also a force to be reckoned with. She will get what belongs to her at all costs. Dante and Erin were such an amazing force and never gave up. Undefeated will take you on the ride of a lifetime. You will not be able to put this book down.
The chemistry between these 2 is undeniable.
This is a MUST READ! *** This is a SAGA and should be read in order ***
This book is winning! 5 stars
Wow, what an amazing conclusion to Dante & Erin’s saga! This intense finale enthralled me from the first pages until the end! Dante’s journey to master his darkness was masterfully written. Erin’s utter faith, devotion and equality to Dante was beautiful to behold. We do get answers to most questions, & I was happy with them. I have enjoyed this series from beginning to end & definitely recommend it! I received a copy of this ebook from Bare Naked Words PR for my honest review.
Undefeated is the 5th and last volume of Helen’s sexy vampire romance, the Blood Bond Saga. The previous book left us off with Dante and the gang going back into Dante’s hell, aka the Queen, and we finally, FINALLY found out who this sociopathic and demented woman is!
In this conclusion of the series, Dante is fighting hard against the darkness and his hope to fully control himself is his one love, Erin. Erin will do anything she can to make sure Dante defeats the darkness and the Queen. The Queen, who I was shocked to find out who it was, thinks she has control over Dante, but little does she know he has his own plan to save everyone.
We get to find out more about the Vampyre Texts as they reveal secrets, if they are able to rescue the patients held prisoner in this hellhole, and if they can finally defeat the Queen (who is no queen at all, mind you).
Was it suspenseful? Yes. Had me at the edge of my seat? Yes. Getting angry/shocked/annoyed/happy? Yes. Sexy? Yes, even though I felt this was one thing that wasn’t necessary for this volume unless it was done at another time in the story but to each their own.
This is one of my favorite series from the author and I am so sad to see it end, especially since, as usual while no cliffhanger, we were definitely left with an open ended ending so there’s a chance someday, we will get more Blood Bond. There are still many questions that need to be answered and the why, I feel still has not been fully answered. I recommend this series to anyone, especially if you love paranormal romance and are open to a different and unique take on vampires.
Well worth the wait! I could not put this book down today at work. I absolutely LOVE Dante and Erin. The blood bond between them is so intense. Dantes family are unique and good hearted guys. I was never really a vampire/shifter reader until this series came out and I fell in love.
This book ends the story of Erin and Dante which makes me sad. I’ve loved following their story and learning about them.
So many answers are found in this last installment. I feel that some of them I’ve felt since this started but there were some shockers. Erin and Dante grow closer in this final installment.
With this said, I feel that some questions were not answered and that the end was left a little open.
This would be installments 13 – 15 of the Blood Bond Saga. And let me tell you that you won’t be disappointed at all with this next set of books. They are hot AF and are just wow…. This will captivate you from the beginning and hold your interest until the very end. You really can’t go wrong with the plot to the stories or the characters. It has been nothing but a satisfying roller coaster ride that has its ups and downs but keeps you turning the pages to find out what happens next. This is an amazing series that you must read from the beginning! I highly recommend it so you too will fall in love with Dante and Erin and this amazing story.
Oh how I love this series! Dorian’s aka Ghost story was even better than I thought it would be. I loved finding out more about him and loved him and Grace aka Ray together. The men of Linear Tactical and the women who love them are just fantastic and I can’t wait for the next book!
Such an amazing story. From the first time I read Erin and Dante’s story of tragedy and love that conquered all.
Erin, Jay, and River followed Dante down into the pits of hell, they find the “queen” the missing women, River’s dad and a few others. Dante has to confront the queen and put an end to everything. In the end everything turns out good. Dante is finally free of his past and can have the life with Erin.
Helen Hardt is an amazing author and has a way of pulling you into the story itself. It makes you feel like you are right there beside everyone and all of the action.
I’ve been waiting on this installment to read 13-15 at once and it didn’t disappoint! Erin and Dante’s story continues and no need to go into detail because you have to read 1-12 first. Love this whole PNR storyline and I don’t even get that into PNR. Fulfilling conclusion! BUT is it really over??
