Wow, just wow. Ms Massery just keeps getting better with every book she writes and Blood Sky was thrill ride with fantastic characters and a great love story from beginning to end.
Jackson Skye stumbles a firefighter who stumbles into a house looking for its occupant and is jumped by a feisty 5ft 3 in girl who jumps him from behind and then he has to save her when assassins who are trying to kill her. Now Jackson’s natural instincts are triggered and now he is protecting a mafia princess trying to stay alive. Enter Jackson’s mercenary crew and the story just takes off.
At the core is Delia and Jackson who have fantastic chemistry from the start. Told in dual POVs we get both sides of this story. I love how vulnerable Jackson really is and how strong and feisty Delia is and how they compliment each other. We also get to meet Jackson’s partners and they are just great. I loved the twists and turns and the mystery at the end just means we get more of this group.
It’s so good and I cant recommend it more.
Two halves of a whole that would never falter!
by sewsummore
Delia saw her father and uncles killed before her eyes, she was to be next but somehow she escaped and her life was never the same again. Jackson was just doing his job when Delia attacked him from behind. she thought he was coming to kill her, instead he saved her life and continued to do so. This was a story full of explosive passion and revenge, Delia wanted to make them pay for what there did and in the end she succeeded but in the process lost all of her family. this story blew me away, I loved the connection between Delia and Jackson, two halves of a whole that would never falter, the strength of their convictions and the love they shared would carry them through adversity

Ohhh this book was so much fun!
I loved Delia so, so much! My favorite part about her is the way Massery made her a badass, while still keeping her real. She still panicked, she still made mistakes, and she still felt real fear, even if she was able to mask it pretty well.
I also totally dig Jackson! He’s a little messed up, with a brutal backstory but a whole lot of life to live and love to give.
This story was a total ride! I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the next bit of information- whether it be for a backstory, or a new development. The story development was seamless, and definitely kept me engaged. As with most stories of similar fashion, towards the end is when the action really picks up. I had no idea who would live or die, and that’s the kind of angst I live for. While Blood Sky is about Jackson and Delia, there are a handful of other guys that play a pretty decent role, and I cannot wait to get my hands on them… errr their books soon!
I truly devoured this story, and I cannot wait for book 2! (Angel of Death- coming November 13, 2019)
Delia & Jackson
Delia is a mafia princess who’s on the run but also craves vengeance. She’s tough and a total bada**.
Jackson is former military and covert contractor and now is a firefighter hotshot (which is how they meet). He’s also a hothead with a quick temper.
These two are instant. They’re so drawn to each other that no matter the trouble they encounter the don’t leave the other to deal with it alone.
I devoured this book. There was great plot, suspense, mafia wars, chemistry, fun, friendship and spice. You always have an idea what direction this are heading but never know all the details. The supporting characters draw you in just as much. Can’t wait to read the next in this series!
This book was great! It makes me want to know what happened to everyone else in the group. I will have to read the others. So awesome!
I really enjoyed this book. Very interesting plot with lots of twists and turns. It was very well written and the characters were well developed. If you like romantic suspense then you will love this book. I look forward to reading the others in the series.
This is a new to me author and one I’d heard many great things about. Now that I’ve finally read a book of hers I’m thankful that I have book 2 to dive into immediately. Talk about addicting!!!
Blood Sky tells a story of Jackson, former military man with troubled past, and Daisy, daughter of mafia leader who is hiding from her family’s enemies who killed her whole family and now are after her.
They meet for the first time when Jackson while going back home, saves her life and kills three men that were after her. From that moment they go into hiding together and he wants to help her flee the country, so she can have a safe life. That though doesn’t happen, a feeling sparks between them and soon they can’t deny their chemistry and can’t be without one another.
They both had a rough life. Throughout the book, secrets come to life, enemies are killed and love blossom.
The book was good, I enjoyed reading it. The plot was very interesting, I liked the way the author step by step revealed the events in the book.
I received this book in exchange for a honest review.
4*
Delia is running for her life and hiding out when Jackson discovers her.
Jackson is still trying to get over his past he’s distanced himself from his team/family.
His need to protect her is fierce.
I enjoyed reading this book, the characters are all interesting and leave you wanting more from them
Action packed and full of twists, it’s been quite a while since I fell so completely into an action-romance.
This was my first S. Massery book and I gotta say, I usually shy away from Mafia books, they aren’t my favorite trope but this book has me hooked!
S. Massery manages to weave a story that kept mt on my toes – wondering and speculating what’s going to happen next, and still somehow completely surprise me at every turn.
I’m officially a fan and am so happy to be moving straight on to Angel of Death.
5 stars and a coop.
4,5 Action packed stars that left me wanting more
Troubled souls somehow bind by the destiny. A meeting of two people in a very special circumstances. Both hiding their demons and truths about their past. She entered his life like those fires he has been keeping people saving from. Suddenly, out of nowhere with a full force. To save yourself the best tactic is to run from this danger. Will he survive the havoc she is bringing with her appearance? Is her the one to ruin his redemption? Can she survive what she started without going into the flames? Can their world be saved from going into the ashes? Read this book to find out. I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed if book full of tension, angst, with constant action is what you are looking for. Passion, suspense, mysteries and a bunch of twists and turns are just dripping out of the pages. All that made the plot hard to predict, giving more and more appeal to the whole story. One of the best books I read this year. I want more, I need more and hopefully I will find it on the pages of Angel of Death.
This is the first in a new series from this author, and what a wonderful introduction this is! Jackson is ex-military, and Delia is a mafia princess. This is a well written story which is filled with action, suspense, secrets, revenge, witty banter, and is a gritty and powerful story which had me totally intrigued and hooked throughout this addictive page turner, and I look forward to reading more in this series.
Suspenseful and Intense!
WOW! This is an absolutely fantastic and utterly captivating story. The suspense and intrigue had me gripping my kindle tightly needing to know what was going to happen next. The twists and turns were so well thought out that at times I had no idea where the story was going to end up. It was one hell of a rollercoaster ride.
Delia and Jackson are fantastic characters. Delia is intense but very strong and utterly cunning. Her mind is always thinking of where the next puzzle piece should fit. Jackson is the strong alpha man that she needs. He is a fighter and has darkness in him, which he uses to his advantage. These two together are powerful and explosive. Which makes for some very hot and steamy moments.
Fantastic writing and storytelling. I can’t wait for more. Highly recommend.
This is a fast paced, intense mafia romance. The characters are amazing. Can’t wait for the next book in this series.
Great first time reading this author
Blood Sky is the first book I have read by S. Massery and I thought it was AWESOME. The story of Delia and Jackson pulled me in almost from the beginning and would not let me go until the end. Both characters were complex with a lot of different layers, like an onion that needs to be peeled back to get to the sweeter core. The story-line was interesting, engaging, full of heart stopping action, a whole lot of drama and suspense along with some good and dirty sexy times. The author can definitely write a well crafter story with lots of great dialogue between the characters and also weaved together supporting characters that are set-up to have their own stories/books in this series.
Even though this was my first time reading this author it will most definitely not be my last. I look forward to reading the next book in the Broken Mercenaries series.
I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Wow! This was my first read by this author and I was completely blown away by it! It is full of twists and turns that you never see coming! This will definitely not be my last read by the author!!!
From the get-go this book sucked me in. It’s nonstop action, fast-paced with revenge and amazing chemistry between the main characters. These two were made for each other and they both have dark dangerous pasts. It’s book one in a series and I’m looking forward to reading book 2

** spoiler alert ** This book was full of heart-pounding action! I really enjoyed it! Delia and Jackson were thrown together unexpectedly and the hits just kept coming! The action and suspense never slacked! It was a great read that I just couldn’t bring myself to put down! The chemistry between these two characters was explosive and hot! Delia is definitely more than she appears and Jackson was everything she needed! If I had to use just two words to describe this read I would use hot and thrilling! I received and arc in exchange for an honest review.
It is a dark and suspenseful romance. The writing style held my attention from the beginning as the book started on the action.
Delia, the daughter of a mafia boss is on the run from people who want to murder her. They already murder her whole family. Jackson, is not in good place in his life. He can’t deal with his hunting past.
They both have violent pasts, Delia was raised by a mafia boss, and Jackson was serving in the military.
So, why he has a need to protect her?
They fall into bed quickly and feelings intensify, but their past is right on their heels.
