Can I just say that this book needs more than 5 stars?! Like a bunch more! I went into this book completely blind and loved every single page. I couldn't put it down until the very end and even now, I have to know what happens next! What can I send y'all to help speed this process up?!

Slate is such an amazing, morally grey character! I completely get where he's coming from. If someone let me suffer for 17 years and then popped up like heyyyy, I'd be pissed too! I'd want to get a little revenge on them.

Cadence is an adorable history buff and a prude. Everything Slate is not. And yet, she's who will wear him down in the end. He says he'll wear her down, but he's the one going soft here.

Can't get enough of this book! I highly recommend!

What a quick, satisfying fantasy novel. The characters were extremely well written and the interactions between them were believable and interesting. The storyline is told by the two main characters, Slade and Cadence. As we begin, we discover that Slade is an anti hero. He became a hero in spite of himself. This proves to increase to be entertaining and likeable. I do fell that the world building would have been more effective with a more detailed, i depth backstory. Kudos to this book one of a series. I look forward to the further development and the progression of the storyline as subsequent books become available. And excellent, enjoyable read. I strongly recommend.

I would like to thank Olivia Wildenstein, Katy Hayoz, Twig Publishing nd Netgalley for allowing me to read this advanced reader copy in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This book! Wow! The story was so intriguing! It's action-packed and kind of sketchy in a good way. Also, the setting was perfect for the story. I very rarely talk about settings in my reviews but I felt this one deserved mentioning because I really loved this strange, eerie, magic loving little town and I thought it was an excellent backdrop.

The journey these characters go on throughout this book especially within the time frame it all happened was wild. Each curse just got more and more chaotic so kudos to the Quatrefoil Crew for going through what they did with most of their sanity still intact because I think I need a drink or two on their behalf.

Overall I really loved this book. We have a very interesting group of characters established (some not as trustworthy as others). There was action, danger, some funny moments, secrets in top of secrets, and so many truths to be revealed. I am super invested and I can't wait to read what comes next.

Thank you Olivia Wildenstein and Katie Hayoz, Twig Publishing, and NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to review this book!

I am planning to read everything by the authors after this book. It was so good! Slate comes home to a letter inviting him to a new school and he discovers a town filled with family history, challenges, and new friends. Cadence, Slate, and their crew of friends take on challenge after challenge before the new moon. The authors leave no stone unturned with romance, deception, death, and character growth. This book is a must read!

I would like to thank NetGalley, Twig Publishing, Olivia Wildenstein and Katie Hayoz for proving me with an ARC of ‘Of Wicked Blood’ in exchange for an honest review.

Magic, romance and danger – what more could you want from this engaging novel by two fantastic authors!

‘Of Wicked Blood’ explores the dangerous and magic world of Brume. Written from the perspectives of both Cadence de Morel and Slate Ardoin, the novel follows the two protagonists, and others, as they are thrown into a dangerous quest to save Slate’s life and find the four pieces of the Quatrefoil. This incredible read takes the reader on an action-packed journey full of twists and turns as both Candace and Slate learn more about their past, themselves and each other during a dangerous quest filled with monsters, magic, secrets and lies.

The characters, the dual narrative and the plot were extremely well-written and well developed. As the reader, you find yourself immediately thrown into the world of the two protagonists and invested in their quest. This was a thoroughly enjoyable read and a great start to the series – I was hooked!

I strongly recommend this title to fans of fantasy, romance and YA in need of their next adventure!

This is going down as my best Netgalley find in my 3 years here.

I read this book in one sitting, cause I could not put it down!

The book is set in a small town in France called Brume, that has a rich history in magic. The setting is so charming, and rich in descriptions of festivals, and cultures.
The plot is fast paced, and the banter between slate and cadence adds a lot of humour, and makes the characters so likable.

I would highly recommend to anyone (all ready have to everyone I can personally get near)

Absolutely astounding! I have entered a world and I'm here to stay for Slate and Cadence. It's every readers dream of romance, adventure, mystery, thriller, historical fact/ fiction and suspense. Brava to these two writers for truly taking the time to paint each character and scene vividly in your mind. I felt transported, I felt their pain, happiness and frustration. Your heart will race and you will cry. Then you will beg for more. Well done.

This book is so good I’m kinda mad I’ve finished it.
Do you think illumicrate will put it in a box as I’d love me a signed copy!
Where to start, this book gave me a mc that was not perfect, he’s a bad boy and he’s got a past. Sign me up right there. I love his relationship with his “brother”. It’s so sweet I want to hug them both. There is some swearing but for me that doesn’t detract from the weighting it enhances it with a realistic feeling.
The plot is well paced and the word building has a nice flow, is understandable and pulls from lore whilst being unique! I can not wait to see where we go in the next book and will gladly review that too when it’s time comes. I’m not in to giving 5*’s for arcs but this one does, it earned it by being the most enthralling read I’ve had in a long while.
Engage book hang over in three......two........one...............
