bookwife 's review for:

Of Wicked Blood by Olivia Wildenstein, Katie Hayoz
5.0

Whoa this book took me by surprise in the best possible way.

It starts with a broken boy getting a letter from someone who knew his real parents were and that he had an inheritance he needed to come collect and a rich girl who was crushing on a family friend who thought of her as a sister. I won't lie.. the beginning was a little off putting. I was afraid Cadence was going to be a snobby rich kid but she wasn't at all. Also Slate was amazing from the beginning. One of his first acts was to steal from a tomb and get stuck in the town. He was brash and funny and completely comfortable with himself and I love him. Cadence turned out to be such a strong character. Her little school girl crush annoyed me at first but I feel like she completely grew into her own person in this story. She stood up to her dad and learned some pretty difficult truths about her life.

I loved this story. I loved each character so so much. I can not wait for the next book!

I got an early copy of the audiobook from net galley and the narration was fantastic! Thank you!
