Bloodmarked Book Review

 





Bloodmarked is the sequel to Legendborn by Tracy Deonn which I read for the first time last year and absolutely loved. The series follows Bree who is still grieving the death of her mother as she goes to an Early College program with her best friend Alice, when she’s there discovers a whole secret society and magic that she never expected.

I had high hopes for Bloodmarked after how much I loved Legendborn and it did not disappoint, it was so good! Bree was an amazing main character who is still learning and open to learning as much as she can. So much happened to these characters, they have been through so much between the two books, but they are still keeping on going and I just want to give them a big hug and holiday because book 3 isn’t going to go any easier on them with the way this one ended. William and Alice are amazing friends to Bree, they care for her so much and don’t worry about showing it, they will seriously do as much as they can to help and support her with what she needs to do.
This love triangle didn’t get any easier to determine in this book, I’m team Bree still but I am possibly leaning towards Sel possibly. The three of them work so well together though so I don’t know! And that Bloodwalking scene, with the Welsh - I really can’t get it out of my head, it had so much to it that I loved and just want more of in book 3, also I have never been so glad my mum grew up in Wales and knows some Welsh. I feel like we didn’t get much Nick time in this book, at least compared to the other characters but I can’t complain about what we did get and I do wish for more. Sel, oh Sel, there is so much I loved about Sel in this book, his character had so many layers and moments that just make my heart scream so loud. Sel and Bree’s relationship and scenes could not have been more perfect and left me wanting more because I just can’t let it go. I will not be letting go of any of this anytime soon and it will not be leaving my head anytime soon either.

So much happened to the poor characters in this book, they hardly even got five minutes rest time at all during the whole book. It was good stuff, bad stuff, cliffhangers and stuff that I wished the characters didn’t have to suffer through. I feel so bad for Bree and wish that half of this stuff didn’t have to happen to her but it makes me so excited for book 3 and to see where everything is going to go. I do truly hate some characters (i think you’re supposed to) and everything that they have either said or done but at the same time they make the book so good! I have so many questions for book 3 and where it’s all going to go, especially with that ending, there’s definitely stuff I want to happen but who truly knows what will?

Overall a great book to start off 2023 with and a series that I don’t think I could love any more than I already do.

The Match book review

  Back in April I was recommended my first Sarah Adams book and really enjoyed it however it wasn’t my favourite type of romance book so when I saw this one had been rereleased and was 99p on Kindle I knew that I needed to read it.  The Match follows Evie who works for a company that trains service dogs to help people with all sorts of disabilities after her life was changed when she got a service dog to help with her epilepsy and when she meets Jacob when trying to convince him how much a service dog would help his daughter she begins to fall for him and his small family.  This was such a light brilliant romance that I just wanted to read and continue to be immersed in the story for as long as I could. I loved all of our major characters particularly Evie, Jacob and Sam (Jacob's daughter). Sam just added the best things to the story and the romance going on between Evie and Jacob. She was also a brilliant character on her own that you really felt for and you just underst...

It Only Happens in the Movies book review

  I have previously loved Holly Bourne books but found that I wasn’t the biggest fan of the one I read in 2024 so was a bit anxious going into It Only Happens in the Movies however I had no need for that anxiety because this book was exactly what I wanted and more.  It Only Happens in the Movies follows Audrey who is over romance after her parents divorce that has left her stuck in the middle, a tough break up and teenage friendship struggles. When she starts a new job and meets Harry, Audrey tries to stay away however she can’t help falling for him even if she knows she shouldn’t.  When I first started I was unsure about the book with the elements of romance however I was pleasantly surprised. Holly Bourne built up a character who I understood and felt relatable. The book had the expected message present in almost all Holly Bourne books which made the story more impactful and me wanting to keep reading to see how things worked out.  All the characters were well-deve...

The Off-Limits Rule book review

  I discovered Sarah Adams in early 2024 after it was recommended to me on Bookstagram and while she wasn’t originally an author I was sure about, however as I read more from her I fell in love with her books and she definitely became a favourite auto-buy author. My last traditionally published backlist series I had to read going into 2025 was It Happens in Nashville duology, the first book being The Off-Limits Rule.  The Off-Limits Rule follows Lucy who has moved her and her son back in with her brother who has made it clear that his best friend, Cooper, is off-limits to her however Lucy has gotten a different impression of Cooper to what Drew has told her about him and maybe it’s okay to break the rule sometimes, right? As soon as I started this book I was reminded of exactly why I love Sarah Adams books so much. I was invested in Lucy’s character and hooked by the story. I enjoyed all of the characters and found it to be a book that I could not put down.  The romance w...
