Cold Blood by Heather Hildenbrand

5.0

Surprise, Surprise! I was mesmerised by this book even more than the first! I loved the new characters and the character of Cambria, which was a grand prize right here on NightlyReading to win a character named after you in Heather’s next book, is a great character of BFF. Cambria will be very happy with the character that was chosen for her:)

The move to Wood Point Academy and the incoming of a new man in Tara’s life have her questioning everything! I, personally love Alex and would love to see more of him. Even George played a major role in this book, which I was not expecting but was a pleasant surprise!

“You’d kiss me back right now if I kissed you,” he said, and I tried to decide whether to even attempt denial. “But then you’d remember him and you’d feel bad for it.”

As Tara is being torn in several different directions, she is realizing a lot of the prejudices toward her kind. Being a Dirty Blood, is not thought of as a good thing from either the wolves or the hunters. She is also realizing that she is in need of a heck of a lot more training and is not as good as she had once thought. It does not stop her from trying and getting herself into a few pickles along the way!

My favorite scene is Tara’s first training session with Alex, it literally had me in stitches! The action starts there and I found myself falling in love with the interactions between the two. Wes seemed a little bit possessive in this book, which is understandable with everything that is going on, but he tended to get a little bit over bearing and became too much for even Tara herself.

I am so excited for this book and am awaiting with bated breath for the next installment! Heather has mastered the art of combining the love triangle along with the action and adventure of fighting Miles and the wolves. The book was a perfect mix of romance and drama that left me once again begging for more!
