This book turned out to be nothing like I expected. It started slowly for me with the different view points and trying to keep my mind focused on what was happening and who these characters were. But once I was introduced to Keralie, this book instantly became a page turner for me. The pacing picked up and the mystery unfolded in layers that came with twists and turns down darker and darker lanes.

This book does contain some violence (just the title alone implies this), but nothing I couldn't handle with my dislike of violence. The scenes with bloodshed and death were written well and not overly gory. In other words, it fit just right for the plot.

I loved Keralie and found myself rooting for her and feeling her happiness, anger, fear, confusion. The romance in this book is slow burning and just the type I prefer.

The world building is amazing and I was pulled right into this setting without ever looking back or thinking something didn't fit to pull me out. The suspense and mystery made this book a fun read. I will seek out this author's future books.
