King of Blood

4.5 Stars

Book four of a six book series and I am still really enjoying this story. I'll keep this short and sweet as I have already reviewed the three previous books and don't want to sound like a broken record. The writing, pace, and plot all remain top notch. Edu got his head out of his ass (finally). The prophecy we've heard so much about comes to pass in a twist. Part of which I had already guessed, but part of which broke my heart.



All the Kings and Queens have arisen. Lydia remains a strong heroine. Aon a sexy sadist you can't help but love. SIDE NOTE: I still think these books would have been that much better with sex scenes...grumble. (lol) I'll also admit that I find myself a little frustrated with the one step forward...five steps back pace of Lydia and Aon's relationship. I get it, there are six books and we can't have them happily ever after at the end of book one. But for a reader (at least this one) it gets a bit...I don't know...frustrating? Tiresome? Repetitive?? How many times is something going to separate them when they JUST got back together?? However, that goes with the territory when you have six books dedicated to the same couple's story. Last, we again end on a crazy cliffhanger and I will sit not patiently for book five...
