Of Wicked Blood by Olivia Wildenstein, Katie Hayoz
5.0

One day I was looking for a new audiobook and I came across this one in NetGalley. While I haven’t read anything by either of the authors, I have quite a few of Olivia Wildenstein’s books on my tbr. After reading the summary, I knew this was my new audiobook. I am so happy with my decision!

This book has super creepy vibes. It’s set in a small gothic town in France (they all have French accents, so I’m pretty sure it’s France!) and weird, unexplainable things have started to happen. What the main characters find out stunned me. The story is an extreme roller coaster with tragedy, lots of suspense, magic, and, of course, bits of romance. The ending wrapped up most of the storylines for me, so I’m curious where book 2 will be going.

The characters are really the driving force behind this book, specifically the two main characters, Cadence and Slate. Cadence is an innocent bean that needs to be protected, while Slate is... whew. Slate is Slate. He’s my favorite character. Out of everyone in the book, he is the one that develops the most.

If you are a fan of urban fantasy - think along the lines of Shadowhunters - definitely try this book!
