ARC Review - Blood So Brutal by Emily Blackwood

Thank you so much Emily Blackwood for sending me this ARC!

Title: Blood So Brutal
Author: Emily Blackwood
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Series: Golden City #2
Pages: 404

Synopsis:

Huntyr knew better than to trust anyone.

She made it into The Golden City, only to find out that everything she dreamed of is gone. There is no safety, no luxury, no elite society. There's only the evil archangel and his dark, twisted plans to use her for power.

Those plans include marrying Huntyr and Wolf, even though she'd rather die than be wed to him.

Huntyr is forced to learn about her real heritage and her untapped magic while she's paraded around The Golden City as the archangel's new favorite weapon. Wolf can do nothing but watch as she's manipulated and toyed with, but one thing hasn't changed: He'll never let anyone else lay a hand on what's his. Even if she despises him.

Betrayal runs deep, but blood runs deeper. Huntyr and Wolf navigate tests of loyalty and new truths as they're faced with the downfall of one power and the rise of another. Families break. Friendships rise. Do they have what it takes to survive? And are they strong enough to right the wrongs from decades ago?


Review & thoughts:

Blood so Brutal is the second book in a Fantasy Romance duology with vampires, angels and fae and while I enjoyed the first book, this one was even better, I loved it! 

I couldn’t wait for Blood so Brutal after that cliffhanger at the end of Wings so Wicked and it definitely didn’t disappoint. It starts right where the first book ended and I was hooked since the first page, there is so much happening here and so many secrets coming to light, betrayals and plot twists I didn’t expect, the plot was fast paced and I couldn’t put the book down. Huntyr continues to be amazing main character, she is badass and really strong when she has to deal with everything she learns about herself and the people she cares about betraying her, I loved reading about her and her character development was amazing. Despite everything he did I couldn’t help but love Wolf, the way he cared for Huntyr and was willing to do anything for her proved he was perfect partner for her and I was rooting for them. To say their relationship was complicated would be understatement, but I loved their slow burn romance, despite all the hurt and guilt they experienced it was amazing to see them trying to find their way back to each other and I loved all their scenes together and hope we will get to see them again. 

Blood so Brutal was the perfect conclusion to Huntyr and Wolf’s story, I loved it and definitely recommend this duology to everyone.
