penkay 's review for:

Bless Your Heart by Lindy Ryan

4.0

I love reading new authors to find one I love even if I really don’t have time to add more to my list. I started this because both the blurb and the cover drew me in. I recently finished this, and I’m a little conflicted. I did really enjoy this book, but I think it needs to be reduced in pages a bit since it’s a little wordy in places. Also, they mention the “bad” guys as strigori, but I saw them as more zombies than vampires. Which brings me to my next point: gore. I don’t mind that at all, but this is a warning for those who do. Like I stated at the beginning, I really enjoyed this book. I also forgot at times that this novel takes place in the 90s even if the timeframe of the events doesn’t matter, but it was a little nostalgic for me anyway when things were mentioned from that time. I’ll definitely read the next one in the series…and there has to be after a little thing at the end. Recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.
