Twins, Clement and Cristina Trudeau who are sixteen years old are mourning their father's death and taking care of their sick mother. This all happens on the thirtieth anniversary of a young woman being murdered, a family being lynched, and one of the greatest magical massacres that occurred in New Orleans. But, the twins learn something. Their mother really is not sick like they thought, but is actually cursed and she has been cursed by someone on the magic council that their family used to rule. Someone is probably going to come after them next, but who? What will the twins really discover?

Blood Debts features black representation as well as LGTBQ representation.

When starting Blood Debts, I thought it was super promising and would be something I would absolutely love. Cristina was my favorite character at first due to her mourning her father and then having to go through a deep betrayal. Then, the other promising thing I thought Blood Debts had going on well was that the writing was good.

I quickly ended up loosing interest in Blood Debts and kept putting it off and down a lot. It took me over a month to even finish this.

I felt like the writing, the magic, and the world was not crafted fully and just skimmed along the surface to where everything fell flat. Due to these things, I felt like a not a lot of things were really going on and when it came to the twists, they felt like randomly occurred, but oddly were the type that did not even phase me. Additionally, I really do not feel like there was really any magic implemented in the book and was just mere mentions.

I ended up really getting annoyed with Clem and Cristina as the story went on due to their actions and inner thoughts.

Clement and Yves meet and I enjoyed their relationship and I felt like both characters were great for one another. I know this is a hot topic, but there is sex in this book and people either want sex in a young adult book or they do not. I really do not mind it as long as it does not go into full force smut, which this is what happened to the point I felt uncomfortable. I think I would not have been uncomfortable though if these characters were eighteen or over, but in reality these two characters are sixteen years old.

I really wanted to love this book, but really struggled. The writer does well with how they craft their writing, but ultimately fell flat. This definitely could have been amazing and I probably will check out this authors future work one day to see if their writing has changed.
