Blood Kin by M.J. Scott

4.0

3.5 stars

I enjoyed this book just as much as the first in the series. Possibly more. It may be deserving of a 4-star rating even.

This series is definitely one which builds on you. Each book in the Half-Light City series focuses upon different characters but they revolve around a similar central story thread which is continued through each book and I like that link between each one. This time, we had Guy and Holly and I just enjoyed their character much more than Lily and Simon from the first one. I grew attached t them far quicker and the struggles they went through. Whilst the obstacles to their relationship were obvious and overused ploys to keep the couple apart I didn't find myself rolling my eyes as I did with the first as I got dragged into the story. Maybe it's the fact it's not a first book setting the story up which worked better for me. Who knows. We'll have to see how the next book goes.
