My absolute favorite fantasy – vampires and witches! I also love forbidden love stories. Crystine fought Gryffen the whole way, but they figured out they were better together than apart…Swoon! A lot of action and adventure in this book that I didn’t want it to end! This book is a part of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone. I received this ARC for an honest review.
Reily Garrett – Immortal Lovers Series Bk 2 – Blood Union – Reviewed 8/28/19 – Read 8/27-28/19
Demons, Vampires the Mission… Kill all!!!!
Crystine’s life have been dedicated to killing all threats to mankind but especially Vampires! Included with her mission is the protection of Sariel as she has done since Sariel was a child. Teaching and training Sariel to help her in this mission but after aiding and helping the injured vampire, Reiner has changed both of their lives. Reiner’s best friend Gryffen is now causing chaos for her and keeping her on her guard with sexual tension. The demons are still after them as the prophecy as shifted and mankind is still in danger. Teaming together they fight to save themselves and mankind.
What did I like? This has been an exciting series that is continuing with this book. The girls are amazing and the guys are sexy and sexually alluring. Definitely forbidden love between the species but will it work for them all?
What will you like? Exciting, thrilling, sensational, breathtaking, electrifying and arousing with lots of sexual tension. When all your life you have hated and it all comes down to having to trust the one species that you have devoted your life to wipe out of existence, what can you do? When you add in the fact that he believes that you are his mate for eternity with no way for it to be changed pushes you even further without adding the fact that your body is betraying you. Now add in the timing for the demons to push everything and capture Sariel so that prophecy can be carried out. Add in deceit in the team that they have formed to fight the demons and you have one exhilarating book! @ddeegott I received this from the Author in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

I really enjoy reading Reily Garret’s books, this is a paranormal fantasy book and witches, demons and vampires. It’s a action packed story with twists and turns you don’t see coming. Like all Her other books once you start you can’t draw yourself away wanting to know what happens next and why. This book keeps you entertained from the first word right till the end. Can’t wait to see what comes next. Well done Reily Garrett love d this book.
Blood Union is the second book in the Immortal Lovers series by Reily Garrett. It can technical be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading Unholy Alliance first to get the full experience and understanding of what’s going on. If you did read it then you should be excited since this is Gryffen and Crystine’s story! This two…
Crystine isn’t exactly a fan of vampires. She hates him and for good reason. They slaughter her family as she watched when she was just a little girl. She grew up training herself to kill them on site along with any kind of evil. She is also a nurturer. She took in Sariel as a young child and raised her as her own. She will die for her. She has definitely killed for her. She will do anything to protect her even if that means she has to put up with the man Sariel loves. A vampire named Reiner. Don’t get me wrong, she will kill him if he or anyone in his circle harms Sariel. Even if it’s the one she is “destined” to be with. Gryffen. Yep! You guessed it…a f*cking vampire and she isn’t happy about it.
Gryffen felt it from the very beginning. Something was different with the witch. He was a playboy but she turned him inside out. She was a challenge. One he wanted to conjure. He never wanted to be bonded with someone for eternity. That was him. Until her. A witch who wanted to kill him but also wanted to feel him. They were both in a confused limbo so they made a bargain. It wouldn’t be for eternity but it would be until Sariel and the others were safe. There was a new threat. One they never expected. And it was time to kick some ass.
Gryffen and Crystine’s relationship is complex. She hates vampires yet she somewhat trusts this him. She wants to know what makes vampires tick. She wants to learn more about the demons she might face. She wants to do anything that will help her protect Sariel. And at the same time she feels a need to be with Gryffen. And he feels it to. He has never wanted anyone so much and will do anything to show her they belong together. They share blood. It makes them heal and gain powers with each suck. But will they complete the bond and be together for eternity?
I knew their story was going to be awesome! Their snarky, sassy, and flirty banter was felt in Unholy Alliance. Him being of course more the shameless flirt where she was the snarky one. I loved how she got to know him in this book. He wasn’t just a playboy bloodsucker. He was much more. He would protect her with his life.
Overall…it’s a book full of fight, banter, heat, and maybe even some love. It was intense at times and fun at times. It definitely has some build up. With the battle and in the bedroom.
