Reviews with content warning for Blood - Lore

Overall a fantastic book. The pace was sometimes a bit too slow but the story itself made you want to read it through. I really like that the romance hasn’t taken over the books plot like some other books tends to do.

This premise was so unique and carried out brilliantly by the author. Her witty style of writing was so fun, despite the subject matter being quite gory at times. I absolutely loved watching Lore’s character development, even if I didn’t like her at times. Miles’ subplot has to be my favorite part of the book though. This book did twists really well and had me hooked from the start. Such a good read!

“A feather fallen from a wing is not lost, but free.”

This story proves that we can’t trust man and people in power.

The story started off so good after 35%. Even tough it is a stand-alone I felt that it keeps getting dragged. One thing is that when it comes to Greek Mythology, I get confuse(that is a me problem, not the authors…) and since I was really interested in that topic, I had hoped we got more infos/fiction from the author.
But around 75%, the plot started to pick up. And there was one time, I audibly gasped because of several “unexpectedly expecting”plot twists.

I love the FL, she was shown as a strong lead with a dark past. We get to see how flawed she can be and how naive and vulnerable she becomes when she is betrayed and being forced to suppress herself…
