A twist in every chapter
I usually stick to what I know. I have a favourite authors and I to be honest. I'm scared of trying new things when it comes to crime fiction. It's hard to find a good author who keeps you gripped and has a very realistic storyline.
When I saw this book in my local supermarket It was a boredom 'thing'.
I had nothing to read at home that was new and it 'looked' good, and it was.
The storyline gripped me from the very first page. The twists and turns in this book are so well written and linked in with everything going on that you forget how far into the book you have read.
I finished this book in less than 48 hours. Yes 2 days.
A crime unearthed, but who? When? How?
Trust me. This is a great read and I can guarantee that the very last chapter will have you amazed.

This is a beautifully told story that built a really interesting, new world with fantastical creatures and blood magic. I did feel a bit lost for about the first half of the book, as I worked out how things worked in this new society. Ordinarily, this wouldn't have bothered me, but so much depends on the way in which this society functions - the expectations of those with magic in their blood, and the restrictions that these expectations bring. I persevered and I'm glad that I did, because once the action gets going and things become clearer, it was actually a good read. It's a book that requires a fair bit of work, and I don't know as there's many readers who would commit that time. This book promises so much, but I think that it fails to deliver.
It appears to be left open for a follow up, but I don't think I will be reading it.

I was gifted my copy of this book, direct from the author.
Ms Pratt has a way with words, writing contemporary, that few can master. She nails it here, she really does.
I loved that Roman is given the voice, rather than Juliette. It's been a long, LONG time since I read a book written entirely from the male's POV only, but I loved it here.
Juliette kinda annoyed me at points, and I think, had she been given a voice, I might not have enjoyed this quite so much.
Roman's PTSD is dealt with sensitively, and very well. It's hard reading, but Ms Pratt delivers it, at every level. Made me cry a time or three. I loved when he realizes those cloest to him really are his family, his found family, but still.
A not easy, but very well written and delivered, 4 stars and I thank you for my copy!
