I was hoping this series would get better but it got worse. I don't think I'll bother to read the next one.

“Blood and Wrath,” by Rumer Hale

Luna was taken away from her mates once again. They are determined to get her back at all costs.

I loved loved loved this book! This series so far has been so good. I loved the relationships and reverse harem/ fated mates between all the characters. I loved the twist at the end of book 1 and going into this book I was mad right alongside the main characters about it. I listened to the audiobook version and the narration was A+ and one of my favorite cast of narrators. The main character is strong and kind and smart, and she really resonated with me while reading. Can’t wait to start book 3! 5 out of 5 stars.

Thank you for the ARC, Netgalley.

DNF at 60%. Just couldn’t hold my attention.

I didn’t realize this was book two in a series. But I didn’t realize that until half way through. The narrator’s made it easy to just jump right into the story. If you are looking for a spicy paranormal romance this is for you!

Enjoyed this a lot mlre than the first book, as it expands more on the world and happenings more. It is also much more action packed too, and I loved that. I love understanding the world more

This is the second book in the Blood and Ruin series.

While not for the faint of heart, this installment largely revolves around a reverse harem trope, evoking penthouse forum vibes with our main characters.

The book provides a substantial amount of world-building alongside numerous inner monologues. However, the writing tends to be somewhat repetitive, with phrases like 'mine,' 'mate,' and 'delicious' appearing on nearly every page. Despite featuring shifters, witches, and paranormal romances, the narrative fell short for me. It seemed rushed, more focused on setting up future novellas or a spin-off. Additionally, the rapid introduction of new characters made the storyline slightly confusing.

Overall, while it may not have fully met my expectations, fans of the series will still find plenty to enjoy in this continuation.

This review is based on an ARC provided for free by NetGalley. I want to thank the publisher, author and NetGalley for allowing me to review this book. These are my honest and voluntary opinions.
