Man, this one was hard to rate. I loved our FMC's grit and attitude. I loved our setting. I loved the "magic".
I hated the instalove between the two MCs- it felt like an afterthought that was thrown in after the fact, combined with the godawful tension between the LI and another character was a hard no for me. I hated the pacing- slow, lumbering and often repetitive.

"You . . . you tamed a shadow creature?" he asks dumbly.
"What, like it's hard?"

Wildblood was amazing. That's all I feel like I need to say. It's a story that you simply have to read. Where do you truly feel at home? Where do you truly belong?
These two questions seem to pop into your mind as you read this book through the eyes of the main character, Victoria.
Victoria is a light-skinned Wildblood, a 'Rare Beauty' yet that doesn't stop harm from coming her way.
This book was bittersweet and heartfelt, magical yet real. Every emotion you may have suppressed is likely to come to the surface.
Wildblood is written in such a way that I could not be torn away from reading, I just had to keep going. The story this book held, the deeper meanings, it was all so beautiful.
I must say, I'm glad how the story ended and I don't believe I could picture a more perfect ending. This book is worthy of your time, so please give it a go. (I insist!ðŸ¤)
Lauren Blackwood, you've written a story that has touched my heart. To read about such a strong connection and such a strong female lead, I feel honoured. Thank you for writing Wildblood and sharing it. ♡ (I shall now dedicate myself to reading previously published and future releases by you!)
