This book was insaneee - I read it over a longer period than I probably would have otherwise since I read it mostly at work but I absolutely loved it and I cannot wait for the third and final one!! 
Truly one of the best series I’ve ever read and worth every bit of hype it’s gotten and more imo :) 
Is definitely a darker and more violent book/series at times tho so recommend checking trigger warnings

The only reason this isn't a full 5 stars is because felt a deep urge to throw my book across the planet after I finished. 
I decided it was 5 stars anyway but demand the third one posthaste. These books are so insanely well written, I feel every single emotion the author attempts to illicit. I’m simultaneously upset with myself for taking so long to read the sequel book, while also pleased that I’ll have a slightly shorter wait for the third book.

Regarding the slavery and rape content warnings, if you read the first book then you should know that

it is regarding situations in the past with the characters’ ancestors. However, unlike the first book where you experience the memory walk and witness some of their traumatic memories, Bloodmarked may refer to that knowledge gained in passing, but it doesn’t show anything as prominent.

The two books in this series (so far??) are full of emotions and plenty of drama & action. There are many mysteries intertwined, and by the end, most are buttoned up nicely… Others are left to either set up for an additional book or  to give readers something to think about after. 
It’s rough listening to some scenes, especially because the reader is excellent at inflecting intense emotions in their voice acting. There are heartbreaking moments, as well as moments that will leave you mentally yelling at the very-much-flawed characters when  they make questionable decisions. 
The author has a good method of fleshing out characters in a way that makes them very three-dimensional and making their interconnected relationships really show in the best and worst ways. The twist endings and plot points are also ones that make sense and aren’t there only to mess with the reader expectations. The end of this book especially makes me want to know the answers to the many questions left by the last words. If there’s not an additional book in the series, the ending still works, even with threads hanging in uncertain directions.
