Book Description:
BOOK 3 IN THE BLACKSTONE VAMPIRES SERIES
All of the hideous secrets of Blackstone House and its inhabitants are revealed in this, the third book in The Blackstone Vampires Series.
Rose Baines continues to be held captive by the demon Eco (Unholy Testament – The Beginnings) and must read the rest of his journal which is a confession of all of his sins.
The rest of the journal focuses on the characters that have haunted Rose’s living life and undead existence. But primarily, Eco’s journal tells of the sick and twisted obsession he has had for Blackstone House’s former mistress, evil and debauched Eve Darton.
This is gothic horror at its darkest. Eco’s lustful relationship with Eve is told against the backdrop of aristocratic devil rites, both in England and France, including satanic sacrifices; continuing to the Great Fire of London 1666. Along the way there are plagues, vampire destroyers and witch hunts and of course vampires!
Human evil and supernatural evil are explored in detail. There are Resurrection men who supply a necrophile doctor. Every vice and evil is examined including the hideous truth of Rose’s father and the reasons he murdered her family.
Every evil that Rose Baines was subjected to is closely examined as are those who committed the worst sins against her.
This is not light reading and although there is romance within the story, the darkness that surrounds it is relentless.
Two new characters are introduced at the end of the novel. These two feature in the fourth book which is entitled, The Fourth Bride. Also included is the book cover.

My Review:
The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
Unholy Testament - Full Circle picks up where Unholy Testament - The Beginnings left off. Rose and the children, Ada and Simon are still being held hostage by the evil demon Eco. Eco is using the children against Rose so that he can make her read his journal, a testament of his life that he wrote specifically for Rose. Eco has fallen in love with Rose and wants her for himself. But Rose will never love Eco she has given her heart to Louis Eco's cousin. Eco claims to love Rose but I wonder if he is capable of loving anyone. Eco was also in love with Louis' wife before Rose. On one hand I think he loved Eve and now he loves Rose but on the other hand I think he has always been jealous of Louis' and wants what he has. I think he only wants what belongs to Louis. He wants to get back at Louis for being a better person or vampire than he is.
Eco has done some mean and evil things in his life. He has used people and killed them just to see them suffer. He enjoys seeing people hurt and in pain. But at the same time he also cares for some people and has a soft spot in his heart for them. But if it serves his purpose he would kill his own mother if it would benefit him. The things he has done in his lifetime is beyond shocking. Eco believes after Rose reads his testament she will love him back. Even if she doesn't love him he will take her for himself no matter what Rose or anyone else says about it. In his mind she will be his one way or another he doesn't care how as long as she is his.
Rose is afraid of Eco and is only trying to buy time with Eco until they reach land. For now she is trying to tell Eco what she thinks he wants to hear. She doesn't want to make him mad she if afraid of what he would do to the children. Once they reach land she hopes she has come up with a plan to save herself and the children. Hopefully Rose and the children can make their escape from Eco once they reach land.
Unholy Testament - Full Circle is full of dark, gory, evil and heinous twist and turns which keeps your adrenaline going. Unholy Testament - Full Circle with all of the horrific things that goes on in it is just right up my alley. And believe me you definitely get plenty of evil in Unholy Testament - Full Circle. The ending left me with my mouth hanging open it was so surprising. I never expected it but I loved it.
I love this series The Blackstone Vampires; I have loved it since the first page of The House on Blackstone Moor. The next book Unholy Testament - The Beginnings was just as amazing as the first book. And the third book Unholy Testament - Full Circle was even better. I don't honestly know which one was the best. I can't make that choice. I can't wait for the fourth book in the series The Fourth Bride hopefully due to be released this summer.
