I'm trying to tackle and fight myself into a new path in life. In doing so, I've adding more things to my To Do lists and more things to my TBR lists. BUT that also means more ARCs for me! :D Here's S.J. Coles's latest. "Bleed in the Night" is the second novel in the new Blood and Bonds series. The first two books have already come out, but the third novel debuts August 6, 2024.
["It's not just fear keeping Tyler up at night... and that' s what frightens him.
Tyler Lomax met Lucien, supposedly the oldest haemophile in existence, on a dark night in the depths of winter. Tyler was protesting against Baron Emory Von Magnusson taking possession of a human child. He thought he'd been doing the right thing— fighting against evil, against fear.
Lucien had almost killed him for it. Now it's months later, and Tyler hasn't slept since. Tyler wants Lucien found. When the authorities fail him, he feels forced to take matters into his own hands.
Tyler's contact ‘Damon' doesn't call himself a ‘vampire hunter', but that is exactly what Tyler intends to pay him to be. What Tyler doesn't bank on is having Lucien at his mercy, forcing him to confront what's really consuming him.
Tyler will not only have to face what he is feeling but finally open his mind to a perspective other than his own. He just has to pray that opening up to Lucien won' t bleed him dry before he realizes the truth."]
This one was... It was hard to like Tyler at first. He had so much hate inside himself that it was consuming him. It made him ugly and unlikable. But when he finally started to get what he thought he wanted, he started to change into a better person.
Then things got hard for both Tyler and Lucien, and I started crying. I cried a. looooot. during this book. It was just so much character growth and self sacrificing and Love that it was overwhelming and beautiful and sad.
This book might be arguably better than the first. Just saying.
Trigger Warnings: species-ism, violence, thoughts of suicide, and more.
