Blood Passage by Heather Demetrios
2.0
I'm pretty sad to say that Blood Passage was a bit of a disappointment to me. I've been almost waiting two years to read this sequel to Exquisite Captive but I was really frustrated through most of the book, which made me not like it much.
I struggled with rating this book two or three stars. I ended up rating it two because for the bigger part of the book I was really annoyed by the characters and how the story went. I don't know if it's just me or maybe because it's been almost two years since I the first book but I had expected more considering how big a fan of Exquisite Captive I was.
My main problem lay with the characters. Especially Nalia, Raif and Malek. The love triangle was so annoying, but more than that they all bored me to death. Even Malek!
I actually liked most of the story in general but the characters ruined it for me with their whining and bitching about each other. Nalia and Raif loving each other but then finding out Nalia killed Raif's best friend which causes problems for only a few pages and then there was Malek loving Nalia although she doesn't want anything to do with him but yet feeling that dark pull towards him. UGH!
I did like the writing, though. Heather Demetrios is a great writing, in my opinion. There was loads of action, and I did love a good few of them. But in the end it wasn't enough for me. The one character I actually like was Raif's sister Zanari. She was actually interesting to read about and I also liked her love interest. I do hope they will find a way to be together somehow.
Overall, Blood Passage was a disappointing sequel. I really had expected to love this book but there were just too many things that annoyed me, especially the romance. Too much love drama that wasn't entirely needed that made the characters sound weaker than they were. I do want to read the next book because of course I want to find out how it all will end. I hope it will be a lot better than this one was.
