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 Christmas Book Club book review

  I read a Sarah Morgan Christmas book during Advent last year and as soon as I heard about this book I knew I had to read it and the timings for it worked out perfectly for me to read about 15 pages a day during December until Christmas Eve when I finished it. This isn’t a romance book as such but it still has all the feels that the Christmas romance books do. The story follows four different women and has their POVs throughout, Hattie owns the inn, and Anna, Erica and Claudia meet up every year for a book club holiday. There is such a cosy feel in this book and I just loved reading it. The friendship between Anna, Erica and Claudia is so strong and I’d love to have a friendship like that, they are there for each other no matter what and each brings something different to the table. They are all going through something during the book and need each other’s support and that support really is perfect. Also by the end of the book, they have all grown as people especially when faced w...

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...

My Kind of Trouble book review

  I found myself enjoying this read however the more I think about the more that I'm sure that there were things I think could have worked better for me and I find a 3/3.5 star rating is the right place to sit with my thoughts.  I really enjoyed reading about the characters and seeing what they were going to do along with watching their romance develop as the story went on. I don't think I've really read anything like this before in a really positive way and there were so many scenes I had a great time reading but there were also parts that I wasn't so taken by and definitely wished had been done differently, and found to be sat in the middle of two different directions I would potentially have enjoyed more.  I thought the con part would be good fun but in many ways I found that it and the romance were competing for page space with neither really winning. The parts of the con that we saw definitely weren't the parts that interested me and I would have either liked a...
