Marcella was a trainee, now she’s a Sixth. There’s only one problem…She had to go rogue to get there. Marcella and her Brotherhood are on the run. Their only goal? Evade the council who seeks to punish them for crimes committed against the pursangs at Westbrook Academy. Their future isn’t exactly bright, especially not with Keiran’s actions casting a shadow over their every movement. After all, … movement. After all, Marcella was supposed to be trapped at Westbrook Academy for the rest of her life, at the whim of every pursang there, not a powerful Sixth.
Except now?
They’ve been found.
By the one man who they never wanted to discover them.
Darius Maximus is one of the most ancient pursangs around. More than that, he’s the Enforcer who can end their lives with the council’s backing.
They have one saving grace.
A sliver of a connection that will buy them some time. Until time itself suddenly becomes a commodity, but by bartering it, one of Marcella’s Brotherhood may be lost to her forever.
Will Marcella and her Brotherhood come out in tact?
Find out in STAINED HEARTS!
STAINED HEARTS is the second book in the SALSANG CHRONICLES, a paranormal “why choose” romance series featuring a kick-ass heroine and her part vampire lovers that will leave you breathless and begging for more.

Stained Hearts by Helen Scott is a wonderful story that I have read. This is book number two in this wonderful series I loved reading it cause it has vampires in it and I highly recommend it to everyone who loves reading about vampires.

Stained Hearts picks up shortly after the end of Stained Egos with Marcella and the guys on the run. I love how fierce Marcella is and yet she also has her vulnerable moments. This story has twists and turns I did not expect culminating in an epic cliffhanger. Crossing my fingers for a good save! I need book 3 now! 🙂
Stained Hearts is Book 2 in the Salsang Chronicles series. Helen Scott and Serena Akeroyd have given us another exceptionally well written complex story with excellently developed characters who have grown since Book 1. Our Brotherhood of six (now complete with Marcella who is rapidly gaining in strength) is on the run from the council. This book sees our troupe overcoming unexpected difficulties, strengthening bonds, making new acquaintance, and developing new abilities. We have a cliffhanger ending which requires Book 3 to see what’s in store for our Brotherhood. Received a copy from Bookshrout and this is my voluntary and honest review.
When I started reading this story, I could not put it down. I read the book in one day. This author is an awesome writer. I can not wait to read more of their books. Keep up the great work. You should definitely read this book.

If you like hot and steamy paranormal reverse harem reads then this series is for you! Well written with a fab storyline and a kick ass female lead this story is fast paced and will leave you more then a little breathless on occasion. I am enjoying watching the relationships grow and am interested to read what happens next!
Paranormal. Rh. 6 vampires. Marcella and the guys are on the run from the council. Also running into some unexpected problem. This books focus is on making bonds and new abilities. Big cliffhanger going on. Excellent.
It was good to see Marcella and the Brotherhood again and in new circumstances. I liked that this book continued with the chapters by different narrators although not all of the voices were very distinguishable.
I liked the relationships and their development, the strengths of Marcella that made her so unique.

Whoa! This series just continues to get better and better. Took me all of a day to devour this book in the series (work may have suffered – just a tiny bit – but I prevailed) and still thinking about it. Turning rogue and evading the counsel with 6 gorgeous men (aka the Brotherhood) by your side; what could be better? How about an Enforcer of course!! Gah. Cannot wait to discover what unfolds on the next book in this awesome series.

This series is quickly becoming one of my favorites! It’s original and has everything you could want in a book! It’s got action, steam, and the characters are fantastic. I loved this world the authors have built and can’t wait to see what happens next! I highly recommend you read this, you will not regret it!!
Marcella, the FMC, really begins to grow into her powers and how to control them. The plot and storyline are engrossing and so enjoyable. The relationships between Marcella and the men continue to develop as well. Loved this book. Can’t wait for the next one.

The twists in this book will have you reeling!!! It was wonderful. I am loving Marcella and her brotherhood. They had to go rogue – but you do what you have to do. Now they have someone hunting them – will they be able to keep ahead of him? Major cliff hanger at the end – makes you chomp at the bit for the next book!! I cannot wait!!
Lord have mercy! This series is one heck of a ride. I love how well this story is written and they characters are tremendous to the point that will be missed when the series ends. We see them growing so much throughout this story. There is so much action and suspense throughout it that it draws you in and doesn’t let go. This story is like ice cream is to cake and tastes so good. I can not wait till the next one. It is the anticipation that kills you but boy I bet it will be as good as this one is. It is definitely worth reading and doesn’t disappoint.

This is the second book in Salsang Chronicles. You definitely need to read the first book to fully understand and appreciate the second book. The author has created a complex and fascinating world, but more details are given in the first book that not only provide worldbuilding but show how the characters’ relationships evolve.
Marcella and her Brotherhood are on the run. They think they found a safe house, but it is compromised rather quickly. Darius shows up, and something that I won’t give away of a most surprising nature occurs, shocking Marcella, the Brotherhood and Darius. Darius states he is there to give them a mission.
What exactly is this mission? Is Darius what he seems? How will Marcella’s relationship with the Brotherhood change in this book? What dangers will they come up against?
I enjoyed seeing how Marcella took to her powers as a newly created but rogue Sixth. She definitely has powers that most Sixths don’t, surprising herself, her Brotherhood, and higher-ups in the council! I also enjoyed watching her evolving relationships with the men in her Brotherhood. Too, it was interesting to watch how the men’s interaction changed as their relationship evolved with Marcella.
Like the first book, this one told in alternating viewpoints between Marcella and members of the Brotherhood. As I found previously, I didn’t feel like there was enough distinction between their voices to make each narrator truly unique. There was less profanity in this book than the previous one, which I appreciated. For some reason, even though I read both books, I had a hard time distinguishing each member of the Brotherhood. Who’s the mind walker? Who’s the half-druid? Who’s the half-shifter? Which one’s moody? Which one’s tough? Which is puppy-like? What exactly is each of their talents? I almost got out an index card to try to keep track of their names, nicknames, abilities, and personalities.
Even though this is the second book of the series and the author states that the first book should be read previous to embarking on this one, I thought there needed to be little refresher course about some of the aspects of this world. It has been a little while since I had read the first book, so had forgotten what some of the specialized vocabulary used here meant.
The book had the common issues with grammar, punctuation, and usage, but I didn’t find this overly distracting.
If you enjoy paranormal books that are based on groups working together, you might find this series interesting. I sincerely hope that this series continues for a long time as I do love the world the author has created.

I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait to see what is going to happen next. You will fall into the story and you will not want to leave. The angst is fantastic and will make you think of your own relationships. You will laugh and cry with these characters and wonder how you would deal with it all in your own life.

Wow what a ending I’m not even mad at that major epic CLIFFHANGER I will say this much though that ending have me all sorts of messed up inside!!! So eager to see else is in store for this series. The added plot twists and turns with plenty of action, magic, intrigue, and of course steamy romance definitely help keep you hooked from beginning to end. Overall a enjoyable and entertaining read and great continuation to the series.
