Of the Blood by Cameo Renae

5.0

This was such an amazing book! I can't say enough about it. I devoured it in two sittings.

The main character, Calla, and the side characters all felt so real to me - I truly cared for them. At first, I was confused about the world - I thought it was in a future version of the USA, but it wasn't. Once the name of the world was established, the politics all lined up, and the connections made sense.

Many YA tropes were used: missing/hidden royalty, the Chosen One, and romance everywhere. I'm pretty sure almost every guy that met Calla fell in love with her (not a bad thing, just unlikely).

This book was pretty straight-forward. It had a nice plot - not too much romance, hilarious scenes, and an intriguing story. I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel!
