The war with the dark wizards continues and numerous members of both sides have fallen in the vicious magical fighting. Things turn dire for the Alliance when two dark wizards somehow manage to capture vampire, Orlando. Knowing Orlando can’t survive long without the blood of his lover makes Alain and their friends desperate to find him before its too late.
In need of help, Jean and others seek the assistance of the oldest and wisest vampire in the city of Paris, vampire master Christopher Lombard and for the first time in centuries, he comes out of his self-imposed seclusion. Finding a partner in the leader of the Alliance, Christopher joins the fight against the dark forces bent on the destruction of the members of the paranormal community and all humans.
Things are falling apart in the dark wizard stronghold and their leader, Serrier, is more dangerous and erratic with each passing day. Eric, who’s been on the side of the dark wizards, takes a chance at redemption with a decision that could affect them all. Does he and his lover, Vincent, help the tortured Orlando escape before it’s too late or does he let him die?
Reparation in Blood is the fourth and last installment of Ariel Tachna’s Partnership in Blood series and it takes up immediately where the previous release left off. The books in this series build on each other, so it is vital that they be read in order to understand the dark wizards, the battle, and the wildly different dynamics between the numerous wizard/vampire pairings. If you love paranormal tales, then give this outstanding series a try.
All the books in this series are well-written, and the plot flows easily from one to another. The world-building continues to be exceptional, the characters interesting, and the partnerships between wizards and vampires exciting and sexy. Ms. Tachna has done a wonderful job expanding the relationships of the couples we’ve come to know and love and despite the multitude of characters, their integration into the plot is seamless.
Not surprisingly, there’s lots of action between the two groups of wizards in this series-ending book. The overall plot is fast-paced, and it only moves faster as it nears the final battle. There were a few twists and turns which I didn’t expect (and which will remain hidden here), but in the context of the story arc, they make perfect sense.

Another thing I enjoyed was Ms. Tachna’s ending. Instead of finishing the book at the culmination of the battle, she gave us page after page of wind-down. We get to see the characters return to their normal lives, to rebuild, and move on. It definitely gives a good sense of closure to a world and group of people many have come to love.
