Blood Lust by Alexandra Ivy
4.0
Bas is a Sentinel turned assassin that fell in love with Myst four years (maybe 5 years) prior and they have a daughter, Molly, together. After Molly had been kidnapped, her and Myst have been communicating telepathically and she needed her mother. So Myst showed up at Bas's. The Brotherhood is after Myst, she was sold to them as a child by her family for her clairvoyance, she had a vision about her creating a weapon that will destroy the High Bloods. Now, they will do anything to get her back. Molly has the ability to activate latent powers within the High Bloods and bring people happiness. All the guards love Molly and are willing to do whatever it takes to protect her. Although, the weapon isn't what everyone thought it would be.
The tension between Myst and Bas was palpable, you could also almost feel their chemistry as it sizzled off the page. These two have been apart, since Myst disappeared four years prior but their attraction to each other was like she had never left. No matter how hard Bas fought it, how much his feeling of betrayal was in the forefront of his thoughts, the attraction still won out. Their daughter, Molly, brightened everything even the danger they were all facing. Bas is an intriguing character that brings so much to the table with his complexity, he is both a hardened assassin and a softie when it comes to his daughter. I also enjoyed watching the interactions between the Mave and Wolfe those two deserve their own story. They have an intense attraction and with them continuing to fight it, it will eventually blow up. Kaede is an interesting character, he deserves his happiness. It was sad how Kaede and Bas met, he's a good loyal guy.
There is so much going on in this story, all of the characters were well written and interesting. Their growth and interactions had a natural feel to them, any questions that I had during the time I was reading this story was answered by the last page. It took me a little time to get into the story, before it really caught my attention, but between the kidnappings, murder attempts, talk of the weapon, I was intrigued and wanted to know what happened next. I'm really glad I took a chance on this book.
