Blood & Roses by Madeleine Eliot

funny lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

This series should be read in order, since there is an overarching plot throughout each sister's novella.

Blood & Roses is Isolde and Rowan's novella! Isolde is the eldest Nightshade sister. Though Isolde and her sisters have "retired" from their assassin activities, Isolde can't tell Rowan no when she stumbles across him in the woods. Rowan desires her services for a task that is dangerous and may be impossible to complete...so of course, Isolde decides to assist him!

Rowan and Isolde's chemistry was clear from their first meeting. Given it's a novella, the author definitely sells the idea of fated mates/some kind of fated partners. So far Gold & Shadow is still my favorite, but I'll have to continue with the series to see where the mystery plot goes next!

TROPES: Snow White retelling, novella, shifter hero, one bed/one tub
