Washed In Blood
by Ashley Lane
I wanted to love this book. It’s a supernatural spin on motorcycle club dark romances, but it’s not too heavy on these paranormal elements. While I liked the two main characters, Priest and Willow, the side characters were mostly lacking. I love Demon, but it turns out that his book doesn’t even exist on Amazon anymore! The other guys--Angel, Bullet, and Patch didn’t particularly interest me, despite their tragic backstories that were hinted at.
I love the idea of how Priest died when he was only 16 years old, spent about 8 minutes “on the other side” and met the Angel of Death, who’s directed him in what to do with his life. I wish that more time was spent exploring his supernatural calling. Of course, this book has insta-love, though it was a little too insta, in the sense that they never really questioned their own feelings for each other. This is particularly strange when you consider Willow’s bad luck in love in the past.
One thing about this book that really grated on my nerves was inconsistencies in the timelines and the way that the author related how much time has passed. It bothers me to no end when it’s clearly the next day, (Like, with a literal “The next day, she woke up”) yet the characters say that something that happened the previous day happened “last week”. It pulls me out of the story, because I’m trying to figure out when things have really happened. I can tolerate this a few times in a book, but this happened a dozen times.
All in all, 3 stars because it’s a unique spin on the MC romance, but I don’t think I’ll be exploring the rest of the books in this series (unless Demon’s book randomly reappears on Amazon).
