Ella Fields did it again. She wrote another fantastic book. This book was out of her normal romance books. She put a twist on a “Tale As Old As Time” with a grey tint to the storyline. At first I had a difficult time getting into the book, I thought oh great another naïve young girl falling for the wrong guy. By the third chapter she had me hooked and the naïve young girl was not so naïve and knew exactly what she wanted and did not care what it cost her to get her happily ever after. This book is chock full of thrills and the suspense left me unable to put down the book. Defiantly a must read.
Ella!! How do you top this??
Indescribable.
Unimaginable.
Uniquely twisted in the best way possible.
In order to grasp the full beauty of Bloodstained Beauty, you need to enter it without any knowledge of the story, the characters, and everything they will go through. No hints at all. Trust Ella to take you on an unbelievably mesmerizing story that involves romance plus many other sub genres that will pull you in, trust me when I say you won’t want to get out.
I LOVED Bloodstained Beauty. I ABSOLUTELY ADORED it, fell in love with it and loved witnessing their story.
There are going to be questions that you will wait impatiently to uncover but the wait will be worth it. Trust her to take you on this journey.
If you’ve read her books before. Well, this is unlike anything from her previous characters but the emotions she will elicit within will be as strong as previous ones.
I couldn’t put it down and devoured it in a short time.
This is a book that I will definitely re-read.
It is amazing.
In every way.
Twisted.
Addicting.
Hot.
And everything in between.
Thank you for this masterpiece, Ella Fields.
With my heart pounding, my eyes wide open, and my jaw dropped, I read THE END in Bloodstained Beauty. My heart stopped while I let out a small sigh as I was instantly lost knowing there was no more. This book guarantees that I will wallow in a massive book hangover for some time to come. This book deserves nothing less than 5 stars and this review will give away nothing except how the book made me feel. This book is best enjoyed by knowing nothing about what you are about to experience. There are so many beautiful and thoughtful words sprinkled throughout.
“Why do you want me . . .” He answered instantly, voice deep and firm with conviction. “Because I knew . . .” His breath heated my lips, his eyes swimming into mine. “I knew from the first moment your eyes met mine that you were meant for me. I struggled with it, with wanting you, and then I surrendered. Though I didn’t know for sure, I had hope that you would be the one to see me.” My hands reached for his face, thumbs rubbing over the day-old bristle on his jaw as I pulled his mouth to mine. “I see you, and you know what . . .”
Ella has spun such a tantalizing and suspenseful romance that she had me questioning my own sanity. Everything that I thought I knew about myself was questioned. Nothing in this book is as it appears and the reality will shock you. I didn’t know whom to believe, whom to trust, or whom to give my heart to, and just when I thought I did, I questioned myself again. This is the sign of a great book. One that draws you in and keeps you guessing and hoping and turning the pages with bated breath to see what comes next. This is a book that stays with you in the back of your mind popping up when you least expect it to draw you back into that enticing world.
“Look at me,” he demanded. I did, and my entire existence seemed to hinge on seeing those blue eyes. “I love you. We are the after you search for in those pages . . . There is no end for us.”
Bloodstained Beauty is a twisted tale that had me wondering how I could possibly understand and agree with Jemima’s choices and how I could want them to work out. But, even as I wanted one thing, I still had torn feelings and a pained heart for the man and the life she didn’t choose.
Her hips rose, her hand reaching between us to squeeze gently before guiding a sinner into heaven.
This book is a must read and Ella Fields is fast becoming one of my all-time favorite writers. Each book is different and everything is not always tied up neatly with a little red bow. She always reaches inside her soul to give us something different, refreshingly different, and perfectly perfect. This may be classified as a dark romance but the love that is shared between the characters let me see past all the dark and into the light.
Going into a book blind is a new thing for me, but it was SO worth it!
The beauty and pain in this book is overwhelming and all consuming.
Some of the best character development I believe I’ve ever read combined with a darkness few can write well. I fell in love with the dark monster with the first kiss, it is simply divine!
Different than anything I’ve read by Ella Fields before now, I cannot wait to see what she gives us next!
First off let’s talk about the cover. IT IS AMAZING and so different from Ella’s previous books. Ok now on to my review.
Good lord as soon as this hit my kindle, I started reading it and while on a girl’s weekend! Plainly put it was absolutely FABULOUS!!
I Loved how this story flowed and I had a hard time putting it down. I have adored every single one of Ella’s books and am extremely excited when I hear she is working on a new one. I can’t recommend this one and all of her books enough. If you have not read anything from her yet you will not be disappointed.
If I could give this story a million stars I would.
I have read many of Ella Field’s works and I loved them, this is so very different to what I’ve of hers before, and I am in love with it.
Bloodstained Beauty is a dark romance (and believe me, it’s dark) and it explores the dark realms of love, death, obsession and betrayal. The switch of perspectives gives it more intesnsity, and I love parts where you get to see what not only the main protagonist is seeing, but what other are, too. I especially loved getting into Thomas’ mind. He intrigued me so much, and then, just like Jemima, I fell into an unhealthy obsession with him.
The story started off in an interesting way, and then going through the main body, it just got more and more addictive! It was dark, intriguing, suspenseful, and for a while, read exactly like a thriller.
These are the kind of books that I love – it leaves you dangling on the precipice of a cliff, just waiting for either that helping hand, or to let go. It held my attention so much that as soon as I started the book, I didn’t put it down one bit to breathe. The book was my life for so many hours.
I know that I say this a lot, but this is now my ULTIMATE favourite book of this author’s. Hell, even 2018. It was a mastermind of darkness, and also made me fall in love with a Mister Thomas Verrone, which is dark and delicious in itself.
Oh, and by the way, DIBS ON MR. VERRONE!
This is not this authors usually type of book but wow did she pull it off. I loved going in blind to read this story and I suggest you also go in blind.
I was captivated with this story right from the start till the end. Highly recommend this book.
Wow! This is a heart pounding romance suspense MUST READ! This book has so many shocking twists and turns that will have your head spinning. Just when you think you have it figured out……..think again!
I’ve read a few books by this author and while they’ve all been different, Bloodstained Beauty is very different to the other books I’ve read by Ella Fields.
The story was full of twists and turns that kept me guessing and constantly questioning certain characters and their actions. The characters in this book are fantastic. They all kept me guessing and I bounced around, swapping and changing who was my favourite for most of the book. I’m dying to discuss the characters more but I’m going to refrain so I don’t spoil this book for anyone (even though it’s killing me to stay quiet). I will say this. I loved them all, even when I really disliked them for what they were doing.
Bloodstained Beauty was not what I was expecting. It was even better. I was completely engrossed in this book from the first chapter. The mystery, that sense of knowing something big is going to happen but been clueless as to which way the story would go, the chemistry between the characters…it’s all written perfectly and had me turning the pages at lightening speed. Another brilliant book by Ella Fields.
WOW WOW WOW!!!!
Ella Fields has written an absolutely EPIC dark romance!
Bloodstained Beauty is so different from Ella’s other books and oh my goodness she has nailed it!
My review isn’t go to do this book justice as I need to keep it spoiler free as it’s definitely best to go in blind.
I wanted to devour and savour reading this all at the same time, I was hooked from the very beginning. This dark romance is sexy, mysterious, intense, hot and will keep you in suspense the whole way through.
Bloodstained Beauty is a phenomenal and is at the top of my favourite reads for 2018. Everyone needs this in their collection!
Thank you Ella for your amazing words!!
I could rave about this story for hours and hours and hours.
However, I’m going to be awfully vague with this review, because you’ll want to step into this story utterly blind as it is mesmerising and mind-blowing in its delivery and you don’t want this flawless execution to be ruined.
It is difficult finding accurate words to describe the seamless brilliance and finesse of this dark narrative anyway. I was transfixed and immersed throughout, knowing yet not knowing where the story would head.
“You’ve tasted my lips, and I yours. You can lie with your words, but what will it cost your heart?”
Bloodstained Beauty is my absolute favourite, without doubt, story by Ella Fields. It is dark. Gritty. Full of angst. Brimming with so much intensity and suspense, you’ll be biting your nails, on the edge of your seat in anticipation and clutching your Kindle in desperation.
I am a complete and utter unashamed fiend when it comes to dark romance. Beautifully written dark romance, such as this, is capable of powerfully gripping your heart, wrenching it, tearing it apart as you’re slammed by an array of emotions and thoughts.
Each turn and twist had my jaw dropping in shock before leaving me giggling in delight and excitement. I could feel my heart racing, my nerves soaring as the story unfolded, feeding me answers and leaving new questions behind in its journey to unveiling the mysteries.
You’ll be consumed by these characters. They’ll lure you into a trap, sending you spiralling towards their twisted stories that will leave you captivated and enamoured.
Ella Fields’ writing is something that should be mentioned and applauded. If you’ve read previous stories by this author, you will know her writing is so poetically lyrical and hauntingly beautiful. Her ability to make you feel is testament to that.
With Bloodstained Beauty I’ve learned she can do all this within other genres. I love that she’s been courageous enough to step into something darker and far removed from her other stories, because she didn’t disappoint whatsoever. I hope this means there’s a possibility to having more delicious dark romance from Ella!
Because I love all of Ella Fields’ books I never read a blurb or any of the few teasers for Bloodstained Beauty before I started reading. I knew, 100%, that I will love this story and decided to wait until I can read the whole thing. Took me only 4 hours to inhale this dark story. This is so extremely different to all of her other books, you have to open up your mind and be ready for a story like this. And even if it is nothing like you are used to get from Ella, it’s absolutely amazing.
From page one the anticipation, page by page, was killing me. I was afraid of what would happen next, but I needed answers. A lot of twists and turns, a little bit action, a huge portion of emotion. Hate and love . Like every other book this one’s amazingly written, Im so in love with Ella’s writing style and I never expected to fall in love with a monster and all of the other characters.
ARC provided for an honest review!
Oh Bejesus! I have cursed & blasphemed all the way through this book… it’s been a while since a book has trampled all over my head and my heart the way this book has. I can’t even right now… can’t think, can’t focus, can’t connect words to write a review worthy enough, can’t get my head away from the characters, the story … they are on constant loop in my head. This book has hijacked my thoughts. Best advice I can give is go in blind. Don’t read the blurb, don’t read spoiler reviews. Just find yourself a quiet place, open the book and get lost in the words of this authors best work to date.
If you love dark, twisted, suspense, shocks aplenty then read now. You are going to love it… I want a do over. I want to rewind the last 48 hours and start again reading it again in ignorance of what’s to come !!
What an amazing and surprising book from this author. It’s not what I’m used to from her but it just might be my favourite.
I was hooked from the start the characters and the story just pulled me in. There are so many surprises that kept me guessing the clues are there you just have to spot them. I just love that this author has come over to the dark side with such a brilliant novel.
.
There comes a time when you have one author you discover and they become you fav and always one click author I think you call it and Ella you are one that no matter what you write I have to read them and I’m never disappointed!
This book is everything and more it completely blew my mind away. The characters just got me sucks in from the very start.
The chemistry between them is just can I say hot and the story gets you sucked in from the first first couple of pages. You fall in love with the characters so easy.
I love that this was such a different book to your other books.
Congratulations on yet another beautiful strong story.
I’m trying to get my pulse down a bit. One thing that defines Ella Fields is that she doesn’t stick to one genre or the ones that she’s comfortable with. No, she challenges me every time with her stories and their characters. Bloodstained Beauty did just that. From the first three pages alone I was intrigued and curious as hell. What is this story all about and how did the main character Jemima end up in such a predicament? That was my first reaction. The next I did was to just dive in and just hold on for dear life.
For the first half part of the story I was trying to figure out what was going on. Trying to make the puzzle pieces fit together and let me tell you all that Ella Fields didn’t make it easy. I appreciate that. I like not knowing what’s going to happen and the unpredictability. Bloodstained Beauty is that book.
Jemima’s story and journey pulled me through all variety of emotions. Just when I thought I had it all figured out the author threw another curveball at me. Fantastic.
Jemima is a wonderful character who doesn’t hide when shit hits the fan. No, she faces it head on damn the consequences. When she least expects it love will find her and what love it is. It’s not safe, not normal or ordinary. No, it’s unique and the way she discovers love makes it even more special.
The author Ella Fields has created a thrilling and compelling story. The way she mixes suspense and romance is done with an effortless ease. The pace of the story flows, not at one point did I want to put the book down. She takes risks with her storytelling and I applaud her for that. Bloodstained Beauty met my expectations and I welcome more of this Ella Fields cause I like a good challenge.
4.5 Little Dove Stars

THIS BOOK WILL BREAK YOU! DARK AND GOOD.
OH LAWD I CAN’T WRITE A REVIEW WITHOUT SPOILING. Honestly i don’t know what to say other than this book was freakn hot and sexy. I was drawn from the get. It confused and fcked me up too. I was disappointed because i fell for Miles first and the Thomas. Laawdd i hated Ella for making Miles perfect and then all of a sudden i wanted to kill him. That was so twisted.
It was a good read. Dark and something i find different. It was a breath of fresh air.

This book is angsty, suspenseful, an absolute page turner, hot-hot-hot chemistry, get ready to fall in love! It’s also funny and emotional. Definitely will become one of your favorites!!!
Bloodstained Beauty by Ella Fields
5+++ Stars
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!! Wow! This is so brilliant! Ella has sure done it again! It is not what I usually read by this author but it was sooo good!! It is very dark and modern! Kept my interest from the beginning to the very end! A page turner! So many twists and turns. Absolutely LOVED IT!!
“Nothing remained. Only empty beauty.”
Trust me… you will want to read this!!
“Hush, Little Dove.”
This is NOT your average Ella Fields book. With that being said, PLEASE TELL ME SHE WILL WRITE MORE STORIES LIKE THIS!
I don’t even know how to process what I just read. Holy mother of dark and suspenseful angst! I loved going into this story blind. I was completely captivated from the beginning. Ella Fields will suck you in and refuse to spit you out, even after the book is finished. And, if by some miracle, you make it out, you will never be the same.
Anything spoken about this book will be considered a spoiler, so I’ll be vague as hell.
There are so many twists and turns. I didn’t know which side to go to. I wanted to scream, cry, hate, love, STAB so many times. Oh, man. So many stabby feelings.
Your head will probably spin like mine. Nothing is what it seems—NOTHING. GAAAHHHHH!!!!
I never knew Ella Fields could give me one of my favorite genres and SLAM IT OUT OF THE PARK! This woman can write! And, now I’m just begging for more and more and more.
This isn’t a five star read. This is a ten star read.
A forever favorite that will definitely go into my reread pile.
