Title: ⟫ Blood Sins (Beautiful Monsters #3.7)
Author: ⟫ Jex Lane
Blurb: ⟫ Vampire Cyprian Von Bamberg has spent centuries hiding in the shadows, existing only to eliminate those his sire wants dead. Sent on a routine mission to kill an incubus lord, he didn’t expect to face a tempting hunter whose blood sings so sweetly…
When vampire hunter Risk was tasked to protect yet another pompous incubus lord, he didn’t expect to be defeated and taken captive by a deadly vampire assassin. And he certainly didn’t expect his heart to skip a beat every time the bloodsucker’s grey eyes landed on him, for there is no greater sin than a hunter desiring a vampire.
Review: ⟫ I didn’t know what to expect from this book, but I really enjoyed what I did get. Vampires, hunters, shapeshifters – compulsion, blood-lust and just straight forward lust – yep, this book contains a lot. I read it in one evening because I really just wanted to know how they were going to resolve the situation they found themselves in – it seemed like one way or another, someone was going to lose.
I felt bad for Cyprian and could 100% understand his reluctance to turn Risk because of his past. I thought he came across as slightly geeky (can you be geeky if you’re that old?), but very sweet as well as completely out of his depth with Risk. And Risk made me laugh, as well as feel bad for him for his childhood. They made a fabulous pair and I really enjoyed reading their story.
My favourite character may well be Cyprian’s sister, Karlene – a meddling sibling as well as being a pragmatist with a romantic heart. My kind of person!
Solid 4/5 from me and I will be looking for the rest of the series at some point! I received this book free from the Your Book Boyfriend’s Boyfriend giveaway!
