Blood Passage by Heather Demetrios
2.0
Well, I was hoping that the story would redeem itself, but nope, it only got worse. I wanted more character development; maybe Malek would redeem himself, maybe Raif would become a stronger leader and a worthy love interest, but nope.
Obviously, Malek was already at a disadvantage previously being an abusive slave owner, but I still had hope for him. Unfortunately, the moment it was revealed that he killed his own brother and turned his sil and nephew into a widow and an orphan, in order to become immortal, he become completely and utterly irredeemable. Which of course, made the author's decision to kill him off understandable. However, that's where I got mad because... how convenient.
And Raif... I really, really, dislike him very much. So this "leader" of the revolution chooses to stay with Nalia even if it jeopardizes thousands of lives, but the moment Nalia revealed a mistake she made years ago, suddenly he leaves her when she needs him most? Nice, Raif, real nice. And she still chooses to be with Raif?
Look, again, I'm not advocating for Nalia to choose Malek, what with his whole irredeemable arc, but she can very well be her own person without needing to be with that useless sob Raif.
Fine, let's move on to the last book, maaaayybe it gets better.
