BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

I want to start by saying how much I adored the Vampire Academy series and I have loved the Bloodlines series.

I never quite found that five star rating for the Bloodlines series, but I enjoyed it and am sad it has come to an end.

I have read ALL Richelle’s adult series, except the Age of X. I have both books and started the first book.

Now comes the highly difficult part of reviewing.

I will be honest and say The Ruby Circle was not my fave in this series. It is just my one personal opinion as I can see on Goodreads a lot of readers have loved it, and some feel like I do. It is not because it is the last book in the series, it simply wasn’t grabbing me.

I think if I had a couple Jill povs and felt the danger from her side ... but Jill was just there in the background somewhere lost as everybody tried to find her, it may have added something for me.

Adrian, my love, I am not sure how I feel about you in this last book, so I won’t voice my opinion. Simply put, I lost you a bit in this one.

I missed Hopper, whatever happened to the little guy? Maybe I forgot about something from Silver Shadows. My bad if I have.

This one took me a lot longer to read because I usually smash them out in a couple days. I still rate very well, but it wasn’t my fave.

Richelle is an incredible writer and it is my fault, probably, that I didn’t dig this last instalment as much.

I look forward to whatever Richelle brings us next whether it be YA or Adult or NA.
