Absolutely yes! I really enjoyed reading this novel. The characters were fun, it held my interest, and provided an escape from reality. I would definitely recommend!

***I received an arc in exchange for an honest review
This book started off a little slow, but it definitely didn't disappoint as the story progressed. It bugged me that the MC seemed a little immature, but it makes sense not only for the story but the age of the character. Can't wait to see what comes next though!

Like the first book, I enjoyed this one, too. As usual, the story was filled with adventures, supernaturals and humor. I liked Cynthia in this book, she was a good main character. and I felt very sorry for her. It's hard to be around people and not know who to trust. Now, about romance, I wouldn't really call it that but was cute and I hoped to see the development of it, but unfortunately we got another ending. Anyways I suggest for everybody to read Wicked Blood.

This was the first book i read in this series and I think there's a lot of potential as the author developed an interesting world and well rounded characters.
I had fun and enjoyed the story.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

In this second book in the series, Cynthia sets off for Berlin in search of her father. Upon arrival, she finds the supernatural community with even more distrust than normal. It all seems to stem from a bus accident a few years ago. Cynthia has a knack for meeting the right people but also getting herself in trouble. She must call on her friends to help her out of a precarious situation.
Opinion
After reading the first book, I knew I would need to read this as well. Supernatural books are right up my alley. Add in that it is young adult and I'm a happy reader. (I do caution that there is an intimate scene so keep it away from younger readers.)
This story is unlike the first because the main character is a different supernatural. Cynthia's abilities allowed for a different direction than Nathan's in the first book. I absolutely loved how detailed de Klerk got with Cynthia's abilities. She answered questions that would have me thinking about for days. (Cynthia is a shapeshifter and the laws of who, what, how, and how long were answered.)
The story itself was gripping. I believe I read the last half in one sitting (with maybe an exception to grab a drink.) All the build up crescendoed and I just could not leave the book unfinished. I was not at all disappointed with how it ended. The tease at the end has me ready for book three.
Many thanks to Net Galley and Margot de Klerk for providing me with an ARC of this book.

I liked this book so much, it's well done, the characters old and new are well thought and mysterious, that for a bunch of supernatural characters is a good feature, the pace is less gripping than the first story.

Wicked Blood start a little slow while we follow our heorine Cynthia during her vacation in Berlin, but it picks up halfway through. She is the shapeshifter we met in the first book in the series, while she is looking for her elusive father in the city she corss path with some surreptitious, wicked characters, and she puts herself in danger. Will she survive?

Cynthia just graduated high school, she is pretty naive and not mature enough, she thinks she doesn't need any help until is almost too late. She came out as a stabborn brat most of the time, but I think she is a good character that shows the flaws of her age so I grew attached to her and I'm glad she got her own story and I could know her more.

This novel ends with a big hint for a future story, I'm already anticipating it.

Cynthia’s life changed a lot when she met Nathan and his group of paranormal friends, but now she’s on a solo journey to discover where her future might take her and hopefully uncover some of her past. I’m sure this won’t be a problem for her persistent and too-trusting self. Let’s find out!

Read if you like: YA paranormal, paranormal romance, mysteries, vampires, witches, shifters, the search for purpose, uncovering background info, and transitional books in general.

Cynthia is in Berlin to find herself. She’s tired of being the least useful friend in her group and wants to earn her place in the world. She’s also been getting postcards from her previously non-existent father and the last one came from… Berlin. So, what’s the problem if her trip does double duty. Except, as she looks for clues to locate her father, she begins to uncover a big problem hiding in the Berlin supernatural community. A problem that draws way too much attention to a lone teenaged, shifter far from home.

This book was not what I was expecting, and not in a good way. I really liked Wicked Magic. Nathan, the vampire hunter, as the lead was something different for the YA PNR genre and gave the story an insider perspective. In Wicked Blood, we have Cynthia as the lead and like the first book, she’s more than capable of naïvely leading herself directly into a huge mess. This alone makes the story feel more generic with the poor teen girl trope, despite the fact that she’s supernatural herself. Cynthia is way too trusting and doesn’t have as many skills or the amount of paranormal knowledge as her friends. A fact that she laments constantly throughout the book. I’ll take a realistically whiney teenage protagonist any day, but Cindy… oh Cindy. She’s clueless and she knows it. Yet she keeps taking her incapable self into increasingly dangerous situations after banishing her own internal warnings and thoughts to call her friends. This takes ‘learning the hard way’ to the extreme.

When we do get around to her realizing that she needs to ask people for help, they begin to connect the things she’s uncovered. All the clues eventually point to a storyline which hopefully reunite our Oxford crew as it continues. Maybe they can begin epic quest that would assist in finding inroads into the different paranormal factions like we started in the first book. Overall, this was a transition book and was a little underwhelming. Poor Cynthia is simultaneously too nice and too messy to lead her own series. She ends up nearly in the same spot as before. Meanwhile we had to deal with a convoluted plot that ultimately was filler to get to the endpoint and the potential to keep the quest for knowledge going.

I’m not ready to give up on The Vampire of Oxford yet, but I hope we get back to the team sooner than later.

Thank you to NetGalley and Margo de Klerk for a free copy of this book for review.
