Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!


I'm just going to jump straight in. This is the first of the bloodline chronicles and I cannot wait for the next. I have been truly captivated by the story and the characters!


There is fighting, sex and discoveries, all so well put together that it has been a pleasure to read. Both of the main characters Sarai and Marcelle have heartbreaking backstories and have been through so much hardship to do with families that they find it hard to trust anybody, but they have found each other and it's like they've been made for each.


I really cannot wait to find out where these characters go and I hope they get the happiness they deserve.


A recommendation from me for sure

far too sweet for me.
Independent reviewer for GRR, I was gifted my copy of this book.

I find these kind of reviews the hardest to write, so it will be short and sweet, much like the book!

And I think that's what didn't quite work for me. The book is cute and sweet, so very sweet, far too sickly sweet for me!

It's a NICE book, just one that didn't push my buttons in any way (eeek!)

It's only a short book, slotting between books one and two, I think and I haven't read those. Whether those characters pop up here, I've no idea but I didn't feel I missed anything, but equally, I don't feel the need to read them, you know?

So, because I did finish it, I gave it . . .

A step out my comfort zone but a very good one!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

Cian is sent on a journey to find out who or what is causing all the deaths in his village.

I really enjoyed this! It's a step out my comfort zone, and a very good one at that.

I'd class it as high fantasy. Very Tolkien-esque, with an epic journey, lives at stake, elves, dwarves, centsaurs, sea serpents on the rampage and a madman, messing with dark blood magic.

Throw in a slow burn sweet romance, between Cian and his guide, Thanyon, and you've got a near perfect book!

Only Cian gets a say, though, and at points, he had a lot to say.

But a fabulous read.
