⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. The ongoing battle to save the Skye Druids gains vital new information in this exciting tale of magic and betrayal.

In my world, magic and danger go hand-in-hand. It has from my earliest memory. Magic was currency, and if you have it, you have power. I was shaped by some of the most influential Druids into a lethal weapon. Their weapon. Until the night they betray me—and I wind up in the hands of my enemy. He’s nothing but a job for me. To him, I’m the key to finding his father. Too bad I know nothing. But right now, he’s the only thing keeping me alive, so I’ll do whatever it takes. Yet, if we’re going to survive, it means doing it together. I’ve never allowed myself to care, to feel. To hope. He shows me a world that was always just out of reach, one I was never meant to be a part of—and a love that burns bright enough to scorch the earth. Together, we will bring an empire to its knees.

MY THOUGHTS

Carlysle was a big soft marshmallow. As soon as he heard Song’s story, he folded like a cheap suit and gave up his enmity towards her. Song was understandably wary of Carlysle, but he wore her down with the gentle way he took care of her and worked with her. I enjoyed this enemies-to-lovers progression.  

The action and betrayals came fast and furious, leaving the Skye Druids with a marked lack of breathing room. Carlysle and Song’s journey to the truth was thrilling and I can’t wait to find out what will happen next.

I feel like I can sum up this series as each book brings a new couple together, and it is fun and interesting to see these characters develop and grow. But the overarching storyline develops very slowly and new twists are introduced around every corner. Our lineup of heroes keeps growing, and they have enemies from multiple sides, all seemingly unrelated to each other.

This quote from the book encapsulates my feelings on this series perfectly: “There are no answers,” he replied and focused his gaze across the landscape. “Just more questions. A never-ending sea of them. Each one more tormenting than the last.” Amen, brother.

All of this is meant to say that Blood Skye is book 6 in the Skye Druids series and I definitely recommend that you read the series in order, otherwise you will miss too much world building. If you can, read some of the other books that all form part of this interconnected Dark World. 

Thank you to the author and Netgalley for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
