5.0
A great ending to the series! In book 8 of the Blood Coven Vampire Novel series by Mari Mancusi we see our favorite twins lives turned upside down. They have returned from the Underworld with a mission to get their lives back to normal. Or will they choose to try and get their original lives back even knowing the outcome? Of course this book doesn't disappoint when it comes to the twins solving yet another mystery and trying to save their boyfriends even if they choose not to be with them. I don't spoil what this mystery is but it was not something I was expecting and I loved that!
I seriously loved this book and the fact that Sunny and Rayne have a chance to change their lives back but deep down they know it's not possible. They end up missing their boyfriends (even if Jarreth wants nothing to do with Rayne) and Magnus is reluctant to work with them. I do feel like there were things that were missing in this series and hope one day Mari Mancusi will clear them up. Such things as Corbin and the rest of the slayers, and Jayden. Does going back in time change their fates as well? I guess we won't know. But overall it was a great series and the best series for teens just getting into vampire stories to read.

Okay, i really really loved the series! Even though at first i thought; really? A vampire slayer? Fearies and now freakin zombies? I absolutely heart it. Sunny and Rayne were both characters who kept you hooked at every page and i'm really going to miss them. Sad that it's over but happy for the ending!

Last review...finally... I never thought this is going to happen ever (but after I waste two of my school holidays…)...
At first I knew I should have skipped the 6 other books =_=''
First and last are surely enough... It’s a waste of time to read the other books too.
At first Sunny is going to be a Vampire like I thought...So why read the other books which are full of shit where she is so winy about not to become one?
Than time traveling is a nice idea, Spider and Z. are also a nice Idea.
The book is quite funny but if I ever read “bigger picture” or “demand” ever again that much in a book series I’m going to throw up. Really the books lacks on vocabulary.
I think the book got 4 stars, because XD I finally can end the series!
I also love happy endings! That’s why I really like to give 4 stars.
Also I like that the boys are not stuck at the other time at the end and how everything went better after Birdy aka Bertha died...
So it's going to be a short review! It is a quite funny book, nice Idea and the worst series I ever read...
I never read such nonsense in my whole live but the nonsense is quite entertaining...
But if I ever start a similar book series I start to stop to read the series... one time is enough.

This is the final book in the series and it just completely wiped out the previous books making this a story if its own. With Sunny and Rayne getting a 2nd chance to create an alternate life for themselves, they of course can't stay away form Magnus and Jareth. This great otherwise what was the point of the previous books. The only things was that with them trying to change the past they actually create a bigger problem, which is no surprise. As if all the many creatures we have read about in this series is not enough no we have zombies, yes Zombies. Seriously I read it and was like, are you kidding me!
The characters are still great I love the bickering between Rayne and Jareth, that little spark is still there between them. Sunny is still a bit whiny but it was about time she decided to become a Vampire. Finally! Magnus on the other hand still has his priorities but with a little more romance in him, which was great.
The story was good but it felt like a story of its own where you didn't really need the past 7 books. There was also a mistake where Sunnys mom calls her Sunny in front of Magnus but he continues to call her Rayne?? Overall it was still entertaining, funny and it had its romantic moments. I did like the ending and I'm happy they got their happy ever after. It was a good series full of adventure, laughter and romance.

WARNING: Contained some unmarked spoilers
LAST BOOK!!! Blood Forever just got a LOT of eye rolls from me although I must admit, there were some times, I think less than five times that I actually smirk at some of the conversations. BUT well, I still find something that is not to my liking.
For starters... I forgot how Sunny could be so whiny about almost all things. Forgot how she could be a complete idiot. I mean, DUH, isn't it obvious what a BITE NIGHT is? And she had to ask WHAT IS IT. *rolled my eyes* She actually admit she's an idiot. And then there's the whole changing the future thing. Um, yeah, that's so frustrating in my part.
Why? Well, for one thing what's the first seven books all about then? >:( They altered the whole story and sheesh! You could put it in one book, why make it 8 books? LOL. I mean, I seriously like this series when I first read the books. I'm not being mean or anything, I liked it back then. But now, with all the shenanigans, I don't know. Not really much.
I groaned when I got to the part of the Project Z. Oh for the love of God. There's Vampires, Werewolves, Faeries in this book, why not throw another kind in the whole fiasco? Like the gross, brain-eating people (I don't think they count as PEOPLE), ZOMBIES. It just became like a Post Apocalyptic world with all those zombies. Major Ugh. Sorry, I'm really not a fan of Zombies, as I don't read nor watch TV series about it.
And please! Stop mentioning Twilight. It's really getting old. I hurt my eyes from rolling it too much whenever Twilight or other TV series were mentioned. Vampire Diaries was mentioned too. Oh yeah, gosh.
BTW, there's this scene, where 'Magnus was looking for Sunny'--her mom's words, not mine-- and then her mom said "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend, Sunny?" NOTE that I bold-ed the name. Cause afterwards, Magnus is still calling Sunny, Rayne. I was like, Magnus, I know you're a thousand year old vampire but are you that forgetful? Cause you see, Magnus is, I believe within earshot to hear Sunny's Mom saying her name. And now that I check, her Mom is standing next to Magnus at that time. So is that a typographical error then? And oh btw, not to confuse you or anything, Sunny is posing as Rayne cause remember Rayne was the one who enrolled to the vamp training and Magnus' orignal blood mate.
I really like Rayne. She's a strong character although sometimes she has too much HERO AND Goth fetish. But at least she could seriously kick some ass.
The good side, I finally got the closure. I like how it end even though I know you could just be done with it from the start of the series anyway. At least no one died anymore in the family. They all live happily ever after. It was okay. AND I plead the fifth.
EDIT: I forgot to add, remember how Sunny's being so adamant about turning to vampire in Book 1? Huh. In this ending, I could only roll my eyes, sigh loudly and muttered "Finally! If that's how you'll end, why prolong Magnus' agony? Sigh."

Well - I finally reached the end and yes it wraps up with a nice little bow. I did enjoy the series as a whole. I mean - what a journey. All the different paranormal aspects along the way. So that it where the whole 4 stars comes into it. This book on its own would be more 3.5stars.
