Absolutely devoured this book. I love Nick. I love Sel. I love William. My sweet baby boys. I did not guess this was the direction the book was going to go in at all. I was at the edge of my seat constantly. I do not want to wait a whole year for the next book.

Please don’t make Bree choose between Nick or Sel. I personally am rooting for them to be a throuple, but I love them all and just want them all to be happy

Tracy Deonn you have done it again, another masterpiece!!! 
This book is probably even better than the first one!! It is so action-packed with shocking plot twist after shocking plot twist. 
The ending had me in absolute surprise!!! I cant WAIT for the next book!!!

Got this book on a whim bc it was cheap. Was pleasantly surprised, though I'm getting really tired of Bree making an irrational decision and then immediately facing the consequences. I'm not sure if she's made one good choice through both books.

”I will make it a nightmare on my own terms if i must.”

This series makes me more nostalgic for the YA fantasy I read as a teen more than any sequel to the series I actually read as a teen could.

Bloodmarked is a jammed-pack twisty sequel that expands on the world and characters, in particular fleshing out how the broader fantasy world works and characters such as Sel and William (my sons). Though the pacing could’ve been better, there’s a lot that happens in this and it at times can feel random or plotless.

I LOVED this books. Like, I literally could not stop listening. The characters were well-written with reasonable motivations. Like, even the way Deonn wrote the villain characters was good. They were all fleshed-out with reasonable actions for their beliefs and veviewpoints. The plot was well-thought-through and reasonable for the characters — neither were forced onto the other. All the character's actions where for the progression of the plot.
