I love Sadie Kincaid and when I saw she would be writing her first Paranormal/Fantasy book, I was intrigued. Because let’s be real she can write amazing spicy mafia, but would it translate? I’m here to tell you yes, yes it did. Forged in Blood had an amazing story that I got lost in, and the spicy was extra spicy because we got hot vampires! And the tropes are some of my favorite, bully, why choose and blood play. We have Ophelia who was always an outcast who spent her life in the foster system, but the bad things didn’t affect her huge kind heart. Then we have the commanders of the Ruby Dragon Society, Xavier, Axl and Malachi and their sire Alexandros. Each hot vampire has their own special bond with Ophelia once the guys stop being such jerks. As Sadie’s first Paranormal book, I knew it would be good but I didn’t know how good until it was over and I was screaming!! I loved everything about the book, the tropes were my jam and as always Sadie crafts amazing stories with the most tantalizing spice.
