A review by stacyroth
Of Tainted Heart by Olivia Wildenstein, Katie Hayoz

5.0

Cadence, Slate, Adrien, and Gaelle survived the tasks of the quatrefoil, even if they didn't bring magic back. The latter three are happy to go back to normal life, but Cadence feels guilty that they didn't succeed and reverse the curses of the quatrefoil. Determined to make things right, Cadence slips the bloodstone onto her finger, throwing the four back into the quatrefoil's games. Can they succeed this time, or will they just leave even more cursed people in their wake?

Everything I loved in the first book is back in the sequel! I wasn't sure how Katie and Olivia were going to pull off a book as riveting as Of Wicked Blood, but they did it. I am only disappointed that this is the last book of the duology, and we won't get to visit Brume again.
