Blood, Power & Lies
Jade Christy
Paranormal Romance
One minute I was living my life. The next? Kidnapped by fae and told my blood might end the world. No pressure.
Now I’m stuck in a magical flower kingdom with talking trees, suspicious royals, and once they let him in, a dangerously handsome vampire who’d burn the world for me. (Julian, obviously.)
The good news? I’m not alone.The bad? My newly activated power is terrifying, an evil queen wants to snatch me like a shiny prize, and my blood is basically a cursed VIP ticket to the apocalypse.
But hey, at least I have Azriel, a moody fae warrior who acts like my bodyguard but teases me like a brother. And my love Julian, the gorgeous vampire I’ve fallen for.
I might’ve found family.
I might’ve found myself.
Now I just have to survive long enough to keep them all safe.
Uncaged Review: The second book in The Immortal’s Lie series and Ava is taken from her comfortable world of New Orleans into the Flower Fae Court. Ava finds out quickly that no one really wants her there either. Her cousin, Lysaria, thinks that she wants the crown and to rule over the Fae, while her aunt, Loria, wants to use her to settle a war between the vampires and Fae. Ava is not safe even in the protected realm of the Fae because evil lurks behind every corner and Black Widow, the vampire queen, will stop at nothing to get her too. Ava does have a plan to bring Julian to the Fae world, but in this thinking would it stop the war or create more of a mess? Ava knows every step she takes will put both worlds she cares about in peril and could cause destruction no matter what.
This book definitely was pretty exciting even though it wasn’t in the same realm and some things were a little hard to imagine, especially the food. Definitely not something for a diabetic. I couldn’t help thinking about that, yet it was still intriguing. Ava finds out that she has an interesting legacy and that she is related and tied to the Fae, but she can’t give up her love for Julian even with the hot Fae guys running around, even though there is just one we are reading about. Ava’s existence could also cause a war between the Fae and vampires, which I did want more about too. I did like how Ms. Jade Christy brought two worlds to work in tandem together. I think most books I have read are about vampires and Fae. They don’t get along, are a part of the Fae or are enemies of them. So, this was pretty interesting to read. I even liked Azriel and hoped he would find someone or maybe perhaps he had a secret attraction for Ava? Do I want to read more? Of course, I do. I look forward to the next book in the series!
