what a wrap,

What an absolutely fantastic series! I blew through the entire three books in 5 days, literally couldn’t put it down. The ending made me cry, I’m so happy it wrapped up the way it did! I love that Basi takes crap from no one, not even kings!

Kyros came to know about Basi betrayal, and now Basi needs to find a way to save him, his family and his clan. But she doesn't know what to do to change the tide. Thankfully, she has a best friend who can remind her over and over again who she is, and that nobody stands in the way of Basilia Le Spyre, and what she wants she gets.

This has quickly become one of my favourite series.

Boy oh boy this is full tension and intense movements. The game have taken a turn Basi must fight to fix it and make things right with Kyros unless she wishes to lose the game and we all know she doesn't. And Kyros father is seeing her in a knew light with killing one of the triplets but what would happen if he were to find. Suspenseful book keeping you hooked till the last word. And the heat in this one you'll love it. Promise. A series to read more than once.

This series is my new favorite. Definitely going into my reread pile.
Basi and Kyros are my new favorite couple.

I loved everything about this unique story line and take on vampires.

I'm dead. So. Fucking. Good.

Everything came together here. Betrayal and yearning and lust never looked better than on these characters. Hands down, one of the best series I've ever read. Period.

Happy reading, Goodreads fiends.

You most definitely need to read this book!!!!

I absolutely loved this book I read it back to back In the space of 5 days lol. I love me a good vampire book. The main character was independent and strong willed which is what I love in an mc. The book had some amazing steamy parts which I loved too. I would definitely recommend this trilogy. Lol on to the the next shall we :D

In the last book, Basi's character development is fleshed out, because she would sacrifice herself for the sake of his friends and Kyros. She finally comes to know herself and realises what she really needs in life. Even though the blood bond between Kyros and Basi is growing stronger, the heir is unaware of his partner's risky actions. Of course, once all the lies are exposed, Basi is in control all the while. Fortunately, she can count on the support of Tommy, the butler Fred and the debtor vampires led by Laurel.

As we read on, I can't help but wonder if Basi will be able to repair her relationship with Kyros, while trying to save everyone she cares about.

This series was an enjoyable read, and I highly recommend it to fans of paranormal romance and vampires.

Death Game is a twist-filled, passionate and entertaining conclusion to Basi and Kyros' story.

*****4.5*****

My only quibble is that Basi and Kyros never really were on the same team. Since this is the end, I'd just have liked to see them working together, towards the same ends, and trusting each other. Telling each other everything, rather than working around each other.

They just don't really feel like a team, which doesn't really speak well of them in their HEA.

But honestly, I just loved it. I am sleep-deprived today, because I couldn't quit before the end last night. So it really is just a quibble.

I really enjoyed this series. The storyline was unique and enthralling, certainly unlike anything else I've read in this genre. My only reason for giving each book only 4 out of 5 stars was the relationship between Basi and Kyros didn't quite go deep enough, early on enough, for me to buy into it. Most of the relationship was built from anger and game playing and something about that didn't really have me rooting for them. Basi also had a few petulant, terrible decision-making moments that made me question how much I really cared about her as a character.
