A killer without a master.
A monster without a leash.
Xavier “X” Blood is a contract killer. Cold, calculating, devoid of feeling.
He knows the best way to drive the life from another human beings eyes, but what he doesn’t bargain on is wanting to save a life he’s meant to take.
Mercy Reid was good at running from her demons. That was until she met X and her life was thrown into chaos.
Mercy finally has him on her side…and in her bed, but it’s at a cost far greater than she could’ve anticipated.
On the run, they must learn to trust one another beyond their burgeoning love if they want to get through the coming chaos. Revenge, truth, lies...heartache...insanity. All of it threatening to drive them apart.
Mercy will do whatever it takes to avenge the horror that Sykes put her through. Anything. Even if she has to drown the last of her soul in the bad blood that threatens to destroy the last thing she holds dearest in her heart.
X.
Review Originally posted on April 7, 2015
Just like in the previous book I am going to warn you. If you do not like dark reads, skip this
book. If you do not like disturbing
situations, then skip this book. If you
are looking for rainbows, unicorns and sunshine, then skip this book cause
there isn’t one damn rainbow, unicorn or glimpse of sunshine in Bad Blood. If you need sweet romance, keep on moving
because Bad Blood is anything but.
We pick up where Royal
Blood left off, with X and Mercy leaving to get away from the threat that
her thirst for vengeance has brought and the threat of his MC for his
betrayal. X has broken through his
training, and he is remembering and feeling things he never felt before, and
these things are fucking with his sanity.
Mercy is a calming force for him but at the same time his thirst for
blood, Mercy’s blood, is still strong.
Mercy knows that at any moment X could end her, but she hopes deep down
that one of those feelings that he is beginning to feel is love for her. While training for her to be able to take her
vengeance on the bastard who killed her family, Mercy learns more about
herself, X and to what lengths she can actually go to to complete her plan.
Was I as completely enthralled by Bad Blood as I had been with Royal
Blood? Yes I was but at the same
time I wanted so much more. Okay maybe I
was out of blood when I was reading this, I may have been in a mood that needed
the darker side of my love of reading to be fed. And it was fed but I needed more! There is a slight cliff hanger that leaves
the possibility for more of X and Mercy in the future, and I hope we get more
because I would read it for sure. Like I
said when I started this review this book does not have rainbows, unicorns and
sunshine but it has something that makes you want X and Mercy to find their own
version of a happily ever after, even if that version is surrounded by blood,
death or vengeance. This author has been
one of my go to authors when I need something darker and will continue to be so.
