Bailey Wulfe has her blinders on, her focus straight forward, tromping through life to the future that has been planned for her since she was Turned. She’s been promised to a high-ranking wolf in her Clan, but one chance encounter with a familiar face and she’s questioning everything she’s ever wanted. The boy she knew as a child has turned into a monstrous man. And from the looks of Rike, his … bloodline will be the death of him and everyone he encounters. Maybe she can stop his freefall…if only she can get him to remember her.
Rike Blackwood needs one thing to go right. His brother is a traitor and has run off, his Alpha is in transition after losing half his Clan, and Rike’s own last name is poisoning him from the inside out. One steady day is all he needs, but while his Clan is coming out to the public that they are shifters, a sassy little she-wolf claims they’ve been married before. Nice try, Little Wolf. He would’ve remembered being married, but she does look familiar. And now he can’t seem to stop hunting her. They say curiosity killed the cat, but this time, it just might kill a crow, too.
Content Warning: Explicit love scenes, naughty language, and piles of sexy shifter secrets. Intended for mature audiences.

‘For the blood of a crow’ is the second book in the ‘Red Dead Mayhem’ series and after reading and enjoying the first book I couldn’t wait to read this one. I would recommend that you start with the first book before reading this one. Because the story goes further with things that happened in the first book.
Just like ‘For the hope of a crow’ this story is a quick, fun, sexy, light but still emotional, entertaining story. Perfect if you like dominant, bad men and sassy, loveable women and just want to escape from the world for a few hours. The story is again a novella-length story and the story is told from both POV’s. This story is about Rike, the second in command of the clan of crow shifters and Baily, an albino wolf. I really enjoyed the banter between them and the chemistry. Rike is this hot, tattooed, bad boy MC member and Bailey is this spitfire woman who’s very loyal to the people that she loves.
It was very emotional to read about their childhood together and their love. Their shared past and what happened to Rike in his childhood was slowly revealed bit by bit. The present and the past were perfectly combined in this story.
In this story, we got to see more of the different shifters clans that lived around the town where the clan of crow shifters lived and it was great and interesting to see how slowly the different clans of shifters are becoming friends.
I’m really enjoying this paranormal series and I’m already looking forward to reading more of this series.
This is the second in the Crow series about Rike and Bailey. Rike doesn’t remember his life before he was 16. Bailey is the little Wolf he left behind. This is their story and an awesome continuation of the story that started with Ramsey & Vina! Rike is sexy & dangerous and Bailey has just been going through the motions until she sees Rike. I highly recommend this book and the whole series!
This was an intense story. Rike is trying to come to terms with the type of person he is and for some reason he can’t remember anything since before he was 16. Not even his mate. She can’t believe he can’t remember her and what they were to each other when they were younger, and it’s all thanks to his visious father. But his clan stands behind him and his mate against her wulfe clan.
Rike can’t remember much. He would remember being married, wouldn’t he? He is in support of his alpha by being at the news conference where the crow s have come out to the public. Bailey is working with the catering staff. They meet there and speak. Where she tells him they were married when they were young. She isn’t supposed to be talking to him. She is engaged to a wolf that disrespects her. She leaves. Do Rike and Bailey make it together or do they go their separate ways? Sexual content and violence.
