Synopsis

Ronan Truelove’s best friend, scrappy smart aleck Greta Sustermann, has no idea that she is one of the thirty-six Pure souls crucial to the safety of the world. But Ronan’s evil father has figured it out—and he’s leading the Bend Sinister straight to Greta. If they capture her, she’ll suffer a fate far worse than mere death. But to get to Greta, they’re going to have to go through Ronan first.Standing with Ronan are plucky hacker Sammy; witty, unkillable Jack Dawkins; and a sharp-tongued woman named Diz, who drives a dangerously souped-up taxi. One breathless close call after another leads to an ugly showdown: Ronan alone against his father, with the fate of Greta, his friends, and the entire world hanging in the balance. Will Ronan be able to rise up and prove once and for all that he has what it takes to join the Blood Guard?By turns heart-stopping and hilarious, The Blazing Bridge brings the Blood Guard trilogy to a surprising, clever, and altogether thrilling conclusion.

To be honest, I am pretty much disappointed by this. I didn't have to force myself to get through it - probably because I read most of it during commuting - but it didn't bring me to the edge of my seat either. Of course I enjoyed getting to know how the story ends. It's nice to see that at one point......more

Goodreads review by Aaron

Okay. Though it was short, this is great. I have a few things to say, though. I remembered Ronan’s dad thinking he was a pure, not him knowing Greta was while everyone else thought it was Ronan. The only reason Ronan couldn’t be was because nobody protected him crazily like he did greta, so he isn’t.......more

Goodreads review by Dusty

RATING:4 STARS The Blazing Bridge by Carter Roy is the final installment in The Blood Guard series, and it’s just as action-packed and heart-pounding as the first two installments.
