Fantasy

“<p>Thank you Inside Story and the author for providing me this book. I never read anything before from this author and I really must say I liked the writing style. I always love a good Hellish book. And this one did not let me down. Not getting into detail, if you love demons, trials, an Underworld setting and some Broody characters you will love this book. The end got you craving for book 2.</p>”

“<p>*Sealed in Blood* is a fantasy novel—it has everything that makes a series so compelling. A great plot, interesting characters who evolve, and a very well-constructed world. Practically from the first chapter on, I couldn’t put it down. And I found myself screaming during several scenes because I was so caught up in the excitement. The author makes you experience every scene and gives you goosebumps. </p><p>As for the characters, they all have their inner demons; each one struggles with their own truth and the consequences of it, keeping you on the edge of your seat with the subplots.</p><p>The world-building is gradual—it reveals everything little by little, making the reading experience much more dynamic and allowing you to visualize every setting in detail.</p><p>The plot is entertaining, dynamic, fun, and addictive. From the very first page, you just want to keep reading more and more to find out what happens, and the more you read and the more you know, the more you need to know.</p><p>That ending—oh my gosh, that ending. I just know I want—no, I need—to keep reading and see what happens. Stars! 😉 </p><p>For me, it’s a 5-star read, and I’m eager to read more and learn more about this author. It’s definitely one of my top reads of the month.</p>”

“<p>I adore getting a strong FMC in a book, makes everything feel more enjoyable, L.L Reid is an amazing writer and I really hope the next book will come as soon as possible </p><p></p><p>𝑰 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘 𝒄𝒐𝒑𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘 𝒗𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒚.</p>”

“<p>Wow just wow.. I wasn't sure what to expect but considering I read it it one day I would def say it was amazing. Our FMC is Ella who can't feel pain and doesn't feel like she fits in anywhere. Well that's because she doesn't. Her dad decided to go to the crossroads and make a deal, a life of riches with the women he loves and in return his heart.. The demon, Seraphel, comes to collect the heart of Arthur. Well that heart is his 16yr old daughter Ella. Seraphel teaches Ella about her powers but there is still so much secrecy regarding her lineage. Enter Kealis our MMC who is slated to be Ella's backup in her trials in the demon realm. The cliffhanger this ends on is perfect, it's leading up to something that will change everything they know.. Bring it on!!! Give me book 2</p>”

“<p>Shackled by Shadows⛓️‍💥</p><p>This was my first book by LL Reid, which took me a little longer to read…life kept getting in the way, and it certainly won’t be the last! The world building was great, the characters were great- my only complaint is that book 2 isn’t out yet…as I really need to know what happens next🙌 </p><p>Lyra is held captive for years and when she escapes, she finds herself “imprisoned” by Oberon in a cabin. Oberon wants to work with her to find her magic again and does so with the help of Ash. They eventually reveal a bit more of their plan when they end up at the stronghold with other fae. Zander alongside Ash are responsible for training Lyra, while Oberon engages in his duplicitous efforts in throwing off the king’s endeavours. Along the way, Lyra and Oberon finally act on their attraction but are unprepared for what is to come next😢</p><p>I received an advanced copy from Inside Story and willingly leave my honest review❤️‍🩹</p>”

“<p>I received this book as an ARC from Inside Story. My opinions are my own, and I am leaving this review for free. </p><p>I am drawn into the worlds of demons and the occult, so the blurb of this book called to me. I was not disappointed. The characters, the world-building, and the magic with a unique spin all made for a truly unique reading experience.</p><p>The FMC Ella is taken from her father by a demon, Seraphel, on her 16th birthday. After an awkward start in Hell, they have become family to one another. On her 21st birthday, higher demons come calling demanding blood for a human being in Hell. The Lord, Vaelora, demands a life payment. A higher demon, Thanos, suggests a series of 3 trials for Ella to prove her worth instead. </p><p>What follows is a slow burn, tension building path with both Thalos and the other MMC aelis who is blood oath bound to protect her in the trials. With Thalos, it is a series of missed moments. With Kaelis it is just a collision course that is bound for meteoric destruction. When they finally meet it is catastrophically beautiful. There isn't much spice, but the few moments between them are intense. </p><p>What I didn't expect was the twist at the the end. I was absolutely stunned at the turn of events. And the last line of the book then the acknowledgement page? That was cruel. I need book 2 like I need air. I need to know how the final trial played out. </p>”
