Book Rating

I read the first book back in January and really liked the concept; people who commit suicide having the chance to help others on the verge of doing so themselves. It may sound off-putting but it's done in such a way that you understand them and their reasoning. Okay, I'm doing a crap job at selling the series but it's different.

Anyway, this follows on from the first. Even having a small part of the first book to help remind you of what happened at the end and then we're straight into the story. I don't want to spoil it for you if you haven't started the series by going into what it centres around but Sloan is now at The Station, much to Piper's equal horror and happiness.

They begin a budding romance that is really sweet. They're cute together!

I didn't enjoy this as much as the first but it was a great addition.

Once again with this series, the ending has left me thinking, "I need the next one NOW!!" and I will be adding Dying to Return to my Amazon wish-list straight away.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Deathmaker (Dragon Blood, #2) in Books

Sep 6, 2019

I received this copy via the author in exchange for an honest review.

Im a huge fan of Lindsay Buroker so when she offered me the chance to read this, I jumped at the chance.

Its part two in her Dragon Blood series and takes place a little time after the first. This one is more like her Emperors Edge series with it being heavy on the action and light on the romance, though there is enough to make you happy. Its more subtle than that of the first, which is what I really like about the authors books.

I grew to like Tolemek/the Deathmaker early on in this, despite him being one of the bad guys, and I think Cas had the same problem. Hes unlike the rest of the pirates she ends up meeting. Tolemek doesnt like hurting women, unlike some of the others, and over time he softens towards Cas and she gets under his skin. It was all rather sweet reading.

If youre a fan of the author then you need to read this. If youve never read anything by her, why not?
