I had to wait a couple of days before doing this book’s review because it gave me such a bad book hangover. It was so intense and magical. Miss Tracy Deonn created such an amazing world within the world we already live in. There are so many elements I can’t wait to learn about in Bloodmarked. The history Tracy adds is so fascinating; albeit heartbreaking at the same time. I don’t normally go for urban fantasies set in our world, but this is one I’d read again. I’m also a sucker for King Arthur lore, so this was bound to be a book I loved.

There’s a little love triangle action brewing and I can’t decide who I want Bree with more.

I wish I could give this book a higher rating. I wish I had read it sooner and I hope everyone can read it. It's truly a love letter to a culture and a beautiful woven story of Resilience and Will. Absolutely loved it and can't wait to get my hands on the second book!
