Wow what amazing ending to what has been a fantastic trilogy! Raven and her friends are in the thick of things by this point. They have been recruited to infiltrate the hidden society so they can help stop what has been happening. Working together they are a able to learn all kinds of things bringing the story to one fascinating peak. Wraps up everything quite well. Still fast paced and full of enough twists to keep you hooked until the very end. A must read for fans of paranormal suspense/romance. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.
Year Three (Bloodshed Academy Book 3) by Jen L. Grey is a very amazing story that I have read. This is book number three in this amazing series and I was hooked with the first book of this amazing series. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about paranormal romances.
I read a complimentary Advanced Reader Copy of this book & am voluntarily leaving an honest and unbiased review.
Another great read by Jen L Grey!
The third year was full of thrills, action, and I can’t leave out Cole’s humor!
Raven found herself in the middle of a secret, an academy of alphas, enemies lurking in the shadows, and hybrids that need her help to survive.
I loved it! I wished there were more!
I can’t wait to start the spin off!
I loved, loved, loved this series! There aren’t many academy series that suck me in, but this one has my heart! I loved these characters! They’re just the best bunch of supes. They’re entertaining with their snarky wit and true devotion to each other. The bond they form makes me long for my own bestie pack. The group dynamic is unforgettable making this trilogy unputdownable!
There’s something to adore about each of these characters! Cole is one of my favorites. His flirty ways are absolutely hilarious. He’s the ultimate good guy, even though he’s first in line to pull a prank. Jess is sweet and sassy and the best bestie. You totally need her in your corner. Damien is quiet and focused and he definitely needs his own book.
Raven and Rage are perfect together! I loved seeing their bond grow and seeing what their relationship could be. Raven shows such phenomenal leadership and compassion. Rage is the perfect alpha male and his growly ways were enticing.
The plot was thumping and exciting. I never wanted this to end! It’s over and I’m just feeling so sad. Jen L. Grey is a stunningly captivating storyteller! Go pick this series up!! It’s one wild ride!
Raven has made it to her third year at Bloodshed Academy and things aren’t getting any easier. Raven and the gang are investigating the hate group called the Elites, Raven’s relationship with her parents isn’t the best and Raven is about to face the culling, a no-holds-bars competition to see who can keep their place at the academy. To say things are stressful is an understatement.
Raven has gone a long way since she started Bloodshed. She has connected to her wolf, learned more about her world, and found a group of people she can connect to, Raven has accomplished a lot. Although Bloodshed is a highly revered school in the supernatural community it has its faults. The brutality the school encourages, not to mention the fostering of superiority and now the segregation of species, things are not good. Raven cares about people and is open-minded which is something she sees less and less in the supernatural community and I commend her for recognizing the problems around her and trying to do something about them.
As for the story, it was interesting to see segregation in the supernatural world. That’s not something many authors deal with in urban fantasy books, what that would look like, the problems it causes, and how change could come about. See problems in the supernatural that mirror our own somehow grounds the story. I also like the fact that in all actuality the hybrids aren’t less powerful than their whole counterparts but more. The ideas of hybrids are pretty cool too. The possibilities and the powers can be endless, I would read that book.
The group dynamic is my favorite aspect of the series. How the group is made up of varying supernaturals, how close they all are, and supportive they are, it’s a great group. Plus Cole is the best the tagline in this book was “He has lost his mind”, he is hilarious, and while his family situation isn’t the best he has found his family in their group. I had a theory about what was going to happen with the group and I am so happy that things worked out.
I will admit I am gobsmacked by Bloodshed Year Three. The story seemed like it was going one way and then went another. Raven’s parent’s secret was revealed and while I figured part of it, I thought that Jen was hinting at something bigger, dealing with Raven and it didn’t pan out. Also, I have no idea if this is the last book in the series or Raven’s arc or what. The story ended so openly, with a lot of questions left unanswered not to mention the group is hanging in the balance. I have so many questions I want to be answered, here’s to hoping another book is in the works.
Raven eventually finds out what her parents hid from her in this book. The action doesn’t stop. The characters don’t really develop any further, except for maybe emotionally. Some things are answered, but many are left unanswered. I guess the next series may have some answers about the society?
Year three, starts off where book 2 ended and it’s a wild one! I kept questioning all of the secondary characters not knowing if they should be trusted or not. I was literally on the edge of my seat listening to the story. So good!! We get to see Raven fight and those scenes are my favorite!!
I just love Raven and Rage. Out of the group, Cole is my fave!! He had me laughing with his antics. I’m really looking forward to listening to the next book when it releases.
I recommend the audiobook. The narrator, Brittany is fabulous and she really elevated the story for me.

Remarkable job Jen, thanks for sharing this little jewel with us.
In this book we find the gang on the same mission, but now there are new players trying to get them and break them apart. This book will have you on the edge of your seat the entire time with all the emotions, the laugh out loud moments, the twist and turns you won’t see coming and a few things you won’t expect. If you thought you can someone what would you do to save them? Another 5+ star if I could read that left me wanting more and more. Amazing read and can’t wait to read more.
Fantastic read, this book has romance, intrigue, twists and turns, fast paced, action packed read. Raven has to do the culling, and taking down the Elites. Loose ends are wrapped up from Year 2, and we also find out why Raven’ s parents were hiding the fact the attended Bloodshed Academy. I hope there are more books to come, I love this Series!
I really enjoyed this book. With Raven trying to figure out who all is connected with the Elites and with her and Rage’s wedding coming up.Ravens life couldn’t get more stressful or could it? With the Help of her friends she must fight for her life and the right to stay at Bloodshed Academy
These books get better and better. Oh my word Cole…….is hilarious. There were parts of year three that had tears running down my face because I was laughing so hard. Cole’s story to Professor Shaw as to why they were together in the clearing…..priceless, I was rolling. I love the characters, ( Cole is a personal fav). The intrigue about the society is spot on, it keeps you guessing. I’m looking forward to the fabulous five kicking butts and taking names. Looking forward to the next book.
Just when you think this series could get any better, BAM! It does! Things are starting to pick up the pace. It’s time for the culling, some serious magic happens, some become closer while others are found not to be who we thought they are. It’s time to choose sides and face what is to come.
This book is superb, action packed, and will keep you emotionally on edge.
Great end to the Bloodshed trilogy. I absolutely loved the storyline and characters in this series! It is hard trying not to write any spoilers! This is a definite must read!
I have to say Cole is one of my favorite parts of this series. Always good for a ton of laughs. Story is steady paced and it was a quick read. Raven and Rage go deeper into the intrigue of the Elites.
This series just keeps getting better and better. Raven and Rage are getting closer to taking down the Elites… or are they? Everywhere they turn they discover things just are not what they seem with this group.
This entire series has been just amazing and has had me hooked from page … and once you start reading it, you cannot stop. Raven and her friends are just amazing
