Book #4, Blood Prophecy. Shifters, ghosts, magic, intrigue, and hot, steamy dragon sex!! What more could you ask for?
SPOILER ALERT: THIS IS BOOK 4 IN THE BLOOD PROPHECY SERIES. THIS SERIES ABSOLUTELY MUST BE READ IN ORDER. IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE PRIOR THREE BOOKS, THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS.
Having retreated to Castle Jaeger in Germany, Aria and her five dragon princes still seek to break the curse draining the world of magic. And the Dark Dragon, Gideon Zyrian, grows bolder and more threatening by the day. Maija Essen, Bastian’s mother and the most powerful dragon mage ever known, appears to Aria in a vision. But how? Maija’s been dead for centuries! While the vision provides one very important answer for Aria, more questions arise. As Aria learns exactly who and what she is, how she, a Norm, can control magic, it’s all too much. She’s overwhelmed. It’s up to Mateo and Casius to teach her to harness and control her magic. But none of this comes easily, and Aria’s frustrated and angered by her own ineptitude. When Zyrian begins to pick off those closest to each dragon prince, no one can decide what to do. Staying at Castle Jaeger is supposed to protect all of them. But Castle Jaeger can’t protect those outside that bubble of existence. Then comes the impossible! Zyrian attacks Mateo and Erik, who are still supposedly protected by Castle Jaeger’s wards. Both lie at death’s door with Aria grief-stricken and furious. Will either of her mates survive? Anything else is unacceptable, but she has no control over the outcome. And she’s had it with sitting back and letting Zyrian control things. As Bastian, Casius, and Rhys try to reason with Aria, she’s having none of it. To confront Zyrian without having the knowledge and power to break the curse and defeat him is sheer suicide! But Aria’s reckless. She can’t wait. Is she ready? Are any of them? Will Mateo and Erik survive? Just what will Aria do if either dies? She loves her mates fiercely, equally. Zyrian has to pay! With so much at stake, is there anything that can stop Zyrian? One thing is certain. Aria will find a way, regardless of what she has to sacrifice!
This series just keeps getting better and better! The mystery, danger, complexity, and steamy relationships continue to grow. Aria’s relationship with each of her dragon princes is separate and unique. But the six are united by their love, their determination to break the curse and take down Zyrian once and for all. Aria’s frustration at her lack of knowledge and skill wars with her outright need to defeat Zyrian at all costs. Bastian, Erik, Mateo, Casius, and Rhys, all dominant in the extreme, are none too happy with Aria’s willingness to recklessly embrace danger. She has so much to learn, so little time in which to do so. But she also has hidden wells of strength no one knows exist. And this time we have a whole new set of supporting characters who add an entirely new dimension to the story. And, as a true book nerd, I totally geeked out when Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, and Anne McCaffrey were included in the story! Lili Zander and Rory Reynolds are the real deal! They truly know their sci-fi, paranormal, and fantasy! Again, fair warning. As with the first three books, this also ends with a massive cliffhanger. Lili Zander and Rory Reynolds are brilliant! This book, this series, is as compelling as they come. If you love sci-fi, magic, shifters, and erotic romance, you couldn’t ask for more. Congratulations, Ms. Zander and Ms. Reynolds! You’ve outdone yourselves! This book is absolutely stunning and deserves far more than five stars!
A final note. Be an informed reader! This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language and sexual scenes. If you don’t enjoy this genre, this may not be the book for you. There are book synopses and reviews available on Goodreads and Amazon. Use these resources. DON’T LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WON’T ENJOY THE BOOK. It’s not fair to the authors. They work very hard to provide a quality work product. If you know you’ll object to the book’s subject matter before you buy it, you’re doing yourself and the authors an extreme disservice.
Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!
