Review: Blood Mercy by Vela Roth

Blood Mercy Blood Mercy by Vela Roth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


One human. One immortal. Will their alliance save the kingdom, or will their forbidden love be a death sentence?

When Cassia seeks out a Hesperine, he could end her mortal life in a heartbeat. But she has no fear of his magic or his fangs. She knows the real monster is the human king, her father. If he finds out she’s bargaining with his enemy, he’ll send her to the executioner.

As a Hesperine diplomat, Lio must negotiate with mortals who hate him. Cassia is different, but politics aren't why she captivates the gentle immortal. He wants more than her blood, and if he can’t resist the temptation, he’ll provoke the war he's trying to prevent.


I liked this book, however, the pace was a bit too slow to maintain my interest, it took a long time for me to get through the book. It took a long time for the book and the plot to get going. After about 250 pages, the action took off. This book also offered one of the best romantic scenes I have read!!

If you like political fantasy romance with a romance that slowly grows stronger, this can definitely be something for you.

Cinder hjälper honom gärna med det men vad hon inte visste var att det var självaste prinsen som kom och bad henne om hjälp.

Under tiden blir Cinder utsatt för många prövningar! Kan hon hjälpa till? Eller ska hon bara rymma? Om jag ska vara ärlig så hade jag lite svårt för denna bok. När jag läst ungefär halva så kände jag mest bara för att strunta i den. Sen tänkte jag att eftersom att jag ändå har läst så pass mycket som jag hade så bestämde jag mig för att läsa klart den. Och tur var väl det! Andra halvan av boken var bet...

Bookreview: Dark Heart by Donna Grant

  Title:  Dark Heart Author:  Donna Grant Series:  Elven Kingdoms Series, Book 2 Publisher:  DL Grant, LLC Release Date:  November 12, 2024 ISBN/ASIN:   B0CWX5Q9RP Format:  Kindle, E-ARC Book Pages: 406 4/5 ⭐ Deepest passion. Darkest betrayal. Once, she was my world. The only one I loved. Then it was all ripped away—including my freedom. Vengeance kept me alive. It paved every step, shaped every plot. Until I finally caught her. I learned that line between love and hate is wafer-thin. Where once my dreams were filled with revenge, now that I have her, all I think about is the intoxicating passion we once shared. But there’s no turning back the events her capture has set into motion. It unravels a carefully constructed world, one where enemies surround me. Everyone, that is, except her. Now, we only have each other—and the love that once united us, to fight our way to long-buried truths that will change everything. (From Goodreads) My Review T...
