LORIE’S REVIEW
Every time I read an installment of
the Blood and Roses series, all I hear in my head is DMX singing Party Up.
Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a FOOL
Up in HERE, up in here
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool
Up in here, up in here
Well, well, well……… it’s getting a
little personal up in here. Not only
does Zeth continue to surprise me, but so does Sloane. Sloane gets the chance to put on her big girl
pants with Zeth, and OMG does she bring out the big guns! Sloane’s ignorance of the danger she and Zeth
are in fuels her sassy mouth and temper, too.
And, the banter between Zeth and Sloane continues to be both hilarious and
HOT!
I swear each installment just gets
better and better. So much so, that I don’t
ever want it to end. When the end finally
does happen, I know I’m going to be curled up in a ball crying in the
corner. There really isn’t any other character out
there that compares to Zeth.
Callie continues to throw in
surprise after surprise. The storyline
twists when you expect it to turn and zig when you expect it to zag. The characters all enigmas – you think you
know them then BAM Callie throws another bomb at you. My jaw was constantly hanging open from the
shock of everything that happens. Things
you will never see coming are like a punch in the face – you will be left
standing there utterly STUNNED!
With each episode, my love of the
fact that this is a serial grows exponentially.
Breaking it up just adds to the tone and feel of the overall story –
there is so much suspense and action going on. Callie keeps you begging for
more, more, more at the end of each installment and literally stalking her for
the next episode. To be honest, I think
Callie Hart is a genius for having brought us Zeth and Sloane’s story in
pieces. I know I’m probably in the
minority, but certain stories are just destined to be serials and Blood and
Roses is certainly one of them. Admit
it…….. reading this as an intact standalone sure as heck wouldn’t have had the
same impact.
As usual, the next installment can’t
come soon enough!

I'm not proud of the things I've done.
The things I've had to do.
The things I've given away.

Even if i die trying,
I have to find Alexis.

But I won't.

She wants me to be her hero,

Fracture (Blood
& Roses #2)
Zeth Mayfair is pretty much the very last thing I need in my
life. And yet with every breath I take he becomes more engrained in every
aspect of it:
He has a key to my house.
He knows where I work.
He dumped his strange, mentally traumatized housemate on my
doorstep and has driven off into the sunset in search of my missing sister.
I want to forget him. Want to change the locks and blot out his
face, scourge his very name from my memory. The problem is that I also need
him. I need him more than I need air to breath, and I can’t be without him now.
He owns me.
He torments me.
He’s fractured me.
