Blood and Ruin is book one in a paranormal romance series by Rumer Hale. Thank you to NetGalley, Rumer Hale, and Dreamscape Media for providing me with an audio ARC in exchange for my fair and unbiased review!

What I loved:
- the FMC, generally
- how fierce and loyal the MMCs are
- the lush atmosphere
- the complex supernatural community
- the first POV
- the multi POV (iykyk)
- the TENSION
- the fast pace
- the narrators

What I don’t love:
- the villains of this story seem very stereotypical to be honest. not a bad thing but I wish they were more  nuanced!

Overall I really enjoyed Blood and Ruin and rate it four out of five stars. You’ll love this if you enjoyed The Bonds that Tie!
