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...

Daughter of the Pirate King book review

  I was expecting to enjoy this book but nowhere near as much as I did and I really wished I could have given it five stars but it was just slightly off of the mark.  Daughter of the Pirate King is the first book in a duology which follows Alosa who is the well-trained seventeen year old pirate daughter of the Pirate King himself, on a mission to find part of an ancient secret map on an enemy pirates ship.  This is possibly the first pirate fantasy I’ve ever read, but I loved it and need to read more because there were so many fantastic elements in it that I want to read more. I also now want to read all of Tricia Levenseller’s backlist because of how stunning this book was and I want to see more of it continued in her other books, also the UK covers are absolutely stunning and I really want to own them all! There were twists in this book I was not expecting, characters I fell in love with and moments that made me really laugh.  Alosa knew what she wanted and how to ...

The Eternal Ones book review

  I may be posting this a month after I promised I would on my bookstagram but better late than never. If you want to see more of my immediate thoughts on this conclusion to a series I have been reading for years my booksta post is here .  The Eternal Ones is the final book in the YA fantasy Deathless series by Namina Forna which follows Deka as she discovers more about the world and who she is. We follow on quickly after The Merciless Ones ended with no major plot points happening in between. As with the previous two books, there are many content warnings that come with the story, it doesn’t have any new strong ones so if you have read and been fine with the previous two you should be fine but if you are new to the series then I would recommend checking them out.  Throughout the books we continue to follow Deka’s POV which works really well for the story as we discover so much and being in Deka’s head means we are kept in the know nd see how things and discoveries unrav...
