The Blood That Binds Us by Erin Mainord

adventurous dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

4.0

4⭐️/4🌶️ 
What a great surprise! It started off fast paced and intense, and quickly the world building begins with the political set up etc. I felt like it was going to be very predictable, but then the things I felt were predictable kind of happened and resolved more quickly than anticipated, leaving me with a major twist at the end that I did NOT see coming, which was a pleasant surprise! I think without the strong ending I would have rated it lower, but she sealed it as a 4⭐️ for me in the last 50 pages for sure! The spice was spicing, not in quantity, but in the type of risqué spice that’s a little more than I’m used to - so I gave it 4🌶️ imo!
