Dark and spicy, a satisfactory ending to this thrilling trilogy. 

This book definitely amps the spice levels up from jalapeƱo to ghost pepper - and much of the general murder mystery vibes take a backseat to the raunch. However, I still very much enjoyed the twists and turns as well as the characters' developments.

I feel as if the story isn't finished, and perhaps a spin-off series could be in our future. 

For those who adore enemies to lovers, murder mysteries, anti-hero's and morally grey characters - this trilogy is for you.

4/4.5 stars.

A novel that book readers will love. Dark and well written, filled with moving moments that highlight how far a mother will go for her children.

The reason this didn't get the full 5 stars for me is because it felt unfinished. The characters were so well written with multiple facets to their personalities, their interactions well thought out. However, the main goal seemed to be left behind come the end of the book, now whether this is an indication that a sequel will be written or not, I am unsure.

If you are a fan of books that flit between the past and the present, twisted fairy tales and gritty women - then this will be of interest to you.

What an ending to this fantastic series. I greatly enjoyed that the mysterious theme that has remained prominent in both previous books was maintained in this one until the very end.

Emotional and brimming with tension, I struggled to put this book down. The entire trilogy has been compelling and kept the reader hooked throughout.

If you are a fan of strong female characters, endearing companions, action, magic, twists and turns with triumph through adversity - then this trilogy is for you!

This book had no right. None at all. I adored it.

This series is one of my all time favourites and I am loving this installment. That ending will get you, if I wasn't so afraid of damaging books, I would have thrown it in outrage.

I need the next book immediately. 

My heart is in turmoil and I require answers!

If you love magical mystery books with morally grey characters and angst filled connections- then this series is for you! (Highly recommend reading the Caraval trilogy first before this trilogy.)

Fast paced action coupled with deep emotion.

I adored Amari and the Night Brothers and its sequel does not disappoint. 

Filled with more heartfelt interactions, deep connections and courage - this book takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster. I enjoyed the character development within, and B.B Alston knows how to write a good villain. Someone who truly makes your blood boil, because the true monsters - are human. 

I eagerly await the next installment in this fantastical, magical series!

A historical, supernatural, murder mystery with a hint of sexual tension that leaves the reader begging for more.

I adored this book and found it very hard to put  down! If you love a good mystery that has well written characters with depth - as well as a hint of romance and the supernatural - then this is for you!

Eagerly awaiting the sequel!

The audacity of this book!

Trying to review this book in a coherent manner is eluding me. It was everything, I am left distraught and the fact that a third book is yet to be announced has me fearful. I require answers!

If you enjoy books with complex characters, angst ridden love triangles, intricate plots and raw emotions - then you have to read this series. I fell in love with Legendborn and Bloodmarked does not disappoint.
