Blood Prophecy by Alyxandra Harvey
4.0
Carter I honestly don't know what to say . I loved all of this series because of it humour romance and random action it was a vampire novel that really didn't take it self to seriously. All the other books in this series were short and amazing they didn't drag everything out but blood prophecy felt like two bod in one, and I don't mean this in a good way. The whole incident dealing with the rouge Helios-Ra , Nicholas being tortured defeating the remaining host would have tied up all the loose ends nicely. Though it was a good plot twist having Hope as dawn
What felt really off to we was the 200 pages in the middle where we had he whole plot line of Solange being possessed, it was completely random. This whole section lacked real action, to me And in places the writing was unclear, and overall for the middle section of the book I lost what I loved about the drake chronicles the humour. It was all so serious, and so un drake. Then when viola was defeated we went back and started a different plot line which I though was amazing.I loved the whole final battle with everyone and lived up to my expectations of what this novel would be. Though it annoyed me when hunters grandpa died I know it good to add the emotional aspect in there but it's so predictable, in the final battle the stubborn one see the right way and dies protection the people that he cares about, so done before I expected a better.
The ending felt slightly forced to me, the whole epilogue didn't really work for me, touching on each of the couples to show their utter happiness, this pack for the future to always stay together it was tying up things two well, showing each of the characters futures. Every other book in the series ended on a romantic note, I would of been happy with a final kiss, Solange and Kerian finally getting back together, or a witty remark from Quinn. These books are so of action and drama and you can't end one with a calm discussion around a camp fire, I want a finally epic moment of excitement which makes fell like a would die to be part of the drake family.
Now I have always loved these books and my copy of several of this are falling apart , but it felt almost forced to me. If I could cut out the middle second of the novel I would have loved it to pieces. But I will forever drool over the drake brothers
