Vanished...Book 21 in the Brides of the Kindred Series

I know these books are always going to have a Kindred male find his mate but it’s the journey, the sacrifices that make them such great love stories. That and the fact we all would love a Kindred! (PS- I’m married to one, but shorter!)

**Received ARC from Booksprout for a fair and honest review** Vanished is the 21st book in the Brides of the Kindred series. This book can be read as a standalone- the author gives you more than enough information that you don't feel lost. Since I've read all the other books, I feel like you would miss out since there are returning characters that you don't know. Just my personal opinion. I was so excited when I saw that this was going to be Shad's story, since he's the shadow twin and him, war and peace are still rather young, this was very much a surprise, but a welcome one! This book does not disappoint! I really enjoyed Shad, though Harper was annoying, self-centered/selfish at times, but overall it didn't really detract from the book. Be forewarned, this book is a rollercoaster, and there are a few surprising plot twists that I rather enjoyed! The authors imagination and creativity in these books really appeals to me and keeps me coming back for more! I can't wait for the next book in the series!! Hope this helps! Happy Reading!!!

Wow! This starts a whole new "Chapter " in The BOTK Series. Evangeline Anderson does an excellent job with presenting Time Travel and the adult children of the Kindred. An excellent read and a MUST read. Grab your favorite drink , a warm blanket and enjoy! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Evangeline Anderson- Vanished: Brides of the Kindred 21 (The Brides of the Kindred) (Volume 21j Evangeline Anderson’s roller coaster through time story begins a new additional direction for the Kindred series that will feature the children from all our favorite Kindred Bride books as adults. Taking place in the future, It’s a bit abstract but it works amazingly well. Shad is a shadow twin, the offspring of Kat, Deep and Lock from “Sought” the third and one of my favorite books of the series. Kat gives birth to twins, War and Peace, but is surprised to also have a third baby, a shadow twin. Destined to be alone without a twin he doesn’t have an easy path in life and may not be able to ever form a permanent bond with a female. He has been given gifts though and as a child has a special relationship with the goddess. The goddess communicates with Shad giving him insights into the future. He is also able to work with the Time Warden, who creates a time loop for Shad. He must try to change the future in order to save earth and the Kindred Mother ship from a full takeover by the Hive. Time looping takes Shad into the future where adult Shad must save Harper Wilde from being kidnapped by the Hive and used to breed the evil Soverign’s army. Harper is a Tensora, a female able to be bred over and over by the Head of the Hive, horrid insectile race. Harper is smart,brave, likable heroine who realizes very quickly the importance of her mission with Shad and rises to the challenge. What can’t be denied is the attraction and impossible heart wrenching love that grows between the two. The authors highly creative imagination goes into overdrive in this book taking readers on adventures on several new worlds, strange cities with even stranger inhabitants, customs, foods, clothing, sexual encounters, etc. This time jumping, dangerous, heart racing ,suspenseful, emotional story is guaranteed to leave readers breathless. As always it is also filled with the author’s special blend of love ,sensuous romance/erotica (and of course some kinky stuff). Love getting our first glimpse of the grown up children of our favorite Kindred books.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This book was a very emotional book. I actually shed a few teas. If you are like me you were looking forward to Shad’s story. So it was great to see this story come out. My heart truly broke for Shad. I can not imagine to know as a small child that you were destine to try to save “the pretty woman”, the woman he will fall in love with. Then to fail each and every time you save her. This had to really take a tole on him to go through this over and over again. I found this story very interesting. I love how she she did the time travel and the routes she took. This story is very interesting. I love Harper and thought she was perfect for Shad. She was very special and the hive wanted her. Her future looks real dim unless Shad can change it. Harper was this sweet compassionate person. I did love her feistiness and loved seeing her play side coming out. Harper really goes through a lot in this story but I love how Shad is there to help her along the way. This book is really hot and steamy and trust me when I say you will enjoy each and every part.

Wow is all I can say after reading this story!!! I had been anxiously waiting to read Shad story and let me tell you that it was definitely worth the wait. I absolutely loved Shad and Harper. The struggle they both had to endure even though Harper couldn't remember it. I could only imaging the heartache, frustration, and pain that Shad had to go thought every time when he couldn't complete him mission and be with the person he love. My heart broke for him. The same way I loved Harper I also wanted to shake her, I felt like she was being so inconsiderate and selfish. She didn't stop to think about how all this was affecting Shad at all. Even with that been said this was a enjoyable and entertaining read. I'm totally looking forward to reading more books in the Kindred series.
