This is the fourth book in the Immortal Curse series, which I was able to determine after a couple minutes of confusion and digging. Installment numbers for this series vary a bit based on where you look; however it seems this is due to a book containing bonus scenes and other fun.

As far as the series progression itself, I recommend reading this book 4th, after (#1) ‘Blood Laws’, (#2) ‘Forbidden Bonds’ and then (#3) ‘Blood Heart’.

This installment will always be one of my favorites simply for the fact that Foss managed to surprise me—this NEVER happens. The entire series is like a end-boss-level game of chess and the author manages to weave in some epic, surprising twists.

It also manages to be heart-wrenching near the end; such a rare quality I’m forever seeking, yet almost-never find. If it was at all possible for me to have any more respect than I already did for Foss, it no longer is. In this moment, she became a top favorite, and I will forever one-click anything and everything she’s involved in. I strongly recommend you do too … and I cannot stress that enough.

Foss is clearly a world-building mastermind.


Note:
I opted for the audiobook.
Narrators are great: soft, pleasant, smooth voices.


5 stars

Intense! So many emotions.

Books make me feel all the time. It’s rare one actually brings me to tears. And I KNEW what was going to happen. Yet I still sobbed.

So I skipped this one so I could finish Stas and Issacs relationship and now came back to it. No regrets. Now I read this and get to go straight to more of their story. My mind likes to resolve one relationship before the next. Lol

Amazing book.

At first, I was ready to skip ahead because I wanted to get back to the crewwwwww and Sethios was a jerk and Caro wasn’t giving me anything to enjoy. But they reeled me in with the little side character development of Stark and Ezekiel and even a little more Leela. Before I knew it I was into it again. Well done.

Okay it did feel kind of like an abrupt swing from ahole Sethios to “oh now I wanna blood bond” Sethios but I can get behind it.

Lexi is a master world builder. Things are not what they appear, questions are answered just as new ones pop up.

Ezekiel isn't as bad as he seems.
Osiris isn't as he originally appears.
And Stas, well, let's just say her journey has just begun.

What a wild ride Caro and Sethios has started, and learning about them has upended so many emotions. Everything is done with reason, sacrifices have to be made for others, and well, Caro and Sethios made the ultimate sacrifice.

4.5 stars! Wow, this one packed an emotional gut punch. After getting to know Stas in the previous books, here we get the story of her parents, how they met and how Stas came to be, and ultimately how they were torn apart as a family. An encounter that starts purely in the physical, really for both of them, Sethios and Caro developed into a very sweet, and very passionate relationship. Knowing roughly where it was heading left a constant knot in my gut, knowing it was going to end badly, but there is always more to the story, right? So I cheated a bit and saw that we will get more of there story in a couple books, and can I just say how much I’m looking forward to that. And how this is going to play into things as they’ve been progressing in the prior books, well, things are definitely even more interesting than they were already, if that was even possible. This was the right place to drop this little prequel story, giving some back story that is definitely going to play a role in what happens next for Stas, Isaac, et al. As always there is an undercurrent of lightness in many of the character interactions, which makes it feel so much more real and intimate. The narration was fantastic; emotional and real. Overall a very enjoyable story, despite the crushing ending, or at lease cliff hanger.

I received this audiobook free in exchange for my fair and honest review.

Oh my goodness I adored this instalment just so much, I ran such a gauntlet of emotion during this and as I raced towards that finish line I has such a massive lump in my throat.
The emotion, love and tragedy here had my fighting back the tears: I lost by the way and as this story drew to a close I was sobbing like a baby.
This one is all about Caro and Sethio, Caro a seraphim sent with a message for Osiris is waylaid by Sethio, Osiris's son.
His original plan to have some fun and then send her on her way is obliterated due to a prophecy that sets both there destiny's on a collision course and with them now sharing a common goal and enemy new alliances are formed and loyalties forged.
I was really looking forward to this one just because of all the hints and teasers that we have been exposed to along the way and with this instalment, all the pieces placed on the chessboard start to make so much more sense.
I also adored the sexual energy this one produced especially Sethio being somewhat of a sadist.
The knife play here I found super sexy indeed.
This author is definitely now a strong favourite of mine she just delivers consistently every single time.
Another great addition to this enthralling series.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Blood Bonds (Immortal Curse #5).
