Blood and Vows is the end of the Twisted Duet and I fell out of bed with the aww of it all. At the end of the first book, I knew there was quite of bit that needed to be answered and I wanted the answers right away. But Bella kept me hanging throughout the story, so don’t think you will get them right away.
If you think Castello is all soft-hearted you could not be more wrong. He is even darker I think in this book, probably because he has more to protect. His queen is in need of protection and she will give him all the hell there is to give.
Tatum knows the cost there is to be Castello’s queen but it takes some convincing to make sure she understands what is going on. Tatum knows there are bad people out there, but sometimes she seems to forget until Castello has to remind her in not such nice ways.
I fell in love with this couple in the first book and it did not change while reading this one.
Absolutely phenomenal, heart wrenching, and mind blowing ending to this duet. Some of this I never saw coming, but I loved every second of it.
This is Book 2 of the Twisted Duet.
This is Book 2 of the story of Castello and Tatum. The family is still split in half as was in the ending of Book 1. This book is mostly about the relationship between Castello and Tatum, until three quarters of the story is done. There life is not normal by any means. They both have this dark side to them and they both need each other to fulfill it. He still holds her as a prisoner until they both reveal their true feelings. It all goes haywire after that. I will not give spoilers here because that’s how good this story becomes. The conclusion to this story is mind blowing. This duet is extremely well written with a great story line. I have to give Bella J. kudos for this duet. It was brilliant.
I loved Castello & Tatum in the first book so there is no surprise that I absolutely love them in this one. Castello has some serious decisions to make. Will he be able to protect Tatum? Will he be able to keep her as his queen as he promised her? You will have to read for yourself to find out. This is a dark, sexy read!
We loved the conclusion to this well crafted tale.
The story got hotter and more intriguing and one that tore a family apart and pitted brother against brother.The story was also about revenge and love and forgiveness and righting the wrongs of ones past but, most of all it was about protecting all that you love and held dear and showing all just how dangerous and powerful Castello was to his enemies.
Castello was one of those character’s that made you uneasy and scared of him constantly and if I am being honest scared the crap out of me and made me shaky but, you had to admire the strength and the power the man commanded.
We saw Tatum grow and blossom into a women who was accepting the demons that she resided her within and one who accepted that Castello was the only man who could give her what she needed to be at peace.Tatum was a lover and pet and sexual slave to Castello and he was master and her owner and lover and protector and the man who loves her and would protect her at all cost and even wage war with the ones who he calls family.
This was one intense dark read and one that was not the normal falling in love kind of story but it is one that was forged out of the depravity and the depths of hell.The story felt real and that you we living in hell with these characters.”It felt that real!”
Castello was one of those character’s that you could not help be drawn to.One of the things we love most about the man is he accepted who he was and what resided with him and never made excuses for who he is but, loved that fact that he wanted to be a better person and the man he thought Tatum deserved but, In reality Tatum needed him to be actually who he was all along because that man made her feel safe and protective.
This story took us on one he** of a roller coaster ride and we loved every bit of it.The story kept us engrossed and on edge and turning the pages to the very end yet again.The story was even more intriguing and even had more betrayals and more surprises and a whole lot of secrets that came to life that you never saw coming.
“We love when that happens”
“We loved it!”
This story is not for the faint of heart and for some of you may be thinking how loved blossomed throughout this tragic story but, it was just one of those things that made sense and worked for this couple and that Castello and Tatum were destined to be each other soul mates but, for Castello she was the one who would be saving his soul and his saving grace.
Overall we loved this heart wrenching tale and the ending will have you needing tissues…
Love Loved it !
5 amazing stars
This is a darker fantasy romance, an enemies to lovers. This is part 2 of the duet. Castello has kidnapped Tatum to get back at deaths in his family but what he didn’t plan on is falling for the pent up beauty. Tatum has been released but she can’t get away from the most desirable and dangerous man. Falling in love was not part of the revenge plan but Tatum gives Castello control of her mind and body driving him mad with lust and unable to resist her sirens call. Now with his brother wanting to kill the one thing he holds dear Castello will have to chose his family or the daughter of his enemy that he’s in love with. Not to mention the big twist that changed my whole view of things someone from Castello’s family came back and really put things into a spin. The story was well written and it was a great read. I’m not too into the dark romances they are usually filled with such violence and this one doesn’t spare that but it’s still done well not crassly and this pushed my comfort zone but I was able to keep on reading. I give it four stars.- By Tiffany
OMG OMG OMG…. It’s here… It’s here… Oh boy… I’m about to burst….
Bella J has a permanent place in my heart because not only is she an amazing writer but also an amazing friend. I haven’t met her in person yet but just by texting her and following her facebook account she’s always there.
Blood & Vows is her latest release and it’s the second book from the A Twisted Duet… And what a duet…
But I must tell you something… This duet is not a standalone therefore you must read Blood and Lies first and only then grab this one.
This new book continues to tell Tatum and Castello’s story…
I’m speechless right now… I’m stunned… My head is spinning… What… How…When…
Dayum…
Superb plot, super engaging, intense and surrounded with a thick layer of darkness… Dayum…
This book was the perfect ending to an amazing duet.
It had darkness, crime, madness, deceive, betrayal as well as love, loyalty, family bonds, hope and some dark and twisted hot scenes… Just the way I like it.
There were parts of the book that I wanted to scream my head off and cry so freaking hard… But there were others that I saw myself wanting to hold the mains characters and promised them better days.
Do you know that nagging feeling telling you that nothing is what it seems? Well let just say that… I can’t say more… I can’t and I refuse to spoil.
But I can guarantee you that if you want to read a duet, filled with darkness as well as desire just grab this one… And once you finish it go have a look at this amazing author mafia series “Royal Mafia”… Just go for it and get ready…
Bella… Bella… Bella… What the hell are you trying to do to me? Give me an heart attack? Put me in a loony bin?? You almost succeeded but I can’t go down now… Lol… I need more… More books… Please…
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
