Wildblood has a setting that I don't see often (ever) which is the reason I gravitated toward the story! I was so very intrigued by the Jamaican jungles and the tours that Victoria assists with that I almost forgot there was going to be a magical element! And boy when that hits, it's on!

This book is absolutely going to be for those readers who love fantasy with their romance and not romance with their fantasy, if that makes sense.

There are some incredibly heavy topics in Wildblood, so please be sure to protect your peace when you read it, and of course - check the content and trigger warnings

The two “love interests” in this book are TERRIBLE!

Spoiler

I didn’t like how the love interest told the main character to move forward and find joy in something else after she shared that her white boss r*ped her.

I’m so frustrated. I had excitement for this story and it started off strong! About 40 percent in everything came crashing down for me.

A lot of the choices of the characters doesn’t make sense to me. How tf do you have a captor YET you’re the strongest Wildblood you’ve ever known? Have y’all thought uhhh to overthrow your captor being that he’s actually human and you’re not??? The mix of African spirituality and then mixing Christianity was confusing to me. Homeboy being Christian is one thing but then her understanding and talking about it didn’t make sense being that they come from two different worlds???? Also the crying about Dean ruining her life got soooo old. I’m shocked she didn’t kill him after what he did. She very well should have. Especially BOTH of her boys dying because of him? I don’t get her. All her choices were dumb rash and did I say dumb? I don’t care she’s only 18 if you’re trying to get promoted bickering with your superior is the absolute way to NOT make it up the ranks. Her getting raped by her boss is also insane to me. It felt like it was used as a plot point to drive the wedge between her and Dean but I don’t think it was handled and explained was done poorly. I have not experienced such but I just got the ick hearing about her trauma as if it was just a bad experience. Rather than traumatizing and absolutely something that changes the person. I’m sorry but Dean should have met his maker in this book. He’s done waaaaay to much to V for her to forgive him. Made no sense. Also. The amount of random conflict this book had baffled me. One after another. There rarely any down time to just chill for a second before there’s another annoying conflict. The book feels childish to me like it could have been for 10 year olds. If the cursing (which was minimal by the way), the sex scene, and mention of rape was not stated this could have easily been a kids book. Dead ass. That’s how comical and childish it read to me. My rant is all over the place because guess what! So was the book. The parts I did enjoy was the character chemistry at the beginning between Bunny Sam and Victoria. I chuckled a lot at them! Loved the banter. I also did like Thorn up until the turning point. Everything got confusing and messy when they got together. It’s as if the mission to find gold didn’t even matter. Did they even find gold!? I can’t even remember bc I started skimming at some point. This was a cathartic write. I’m upset. I wanted to like this book.
