In BLOOD KISSED, all Lizzie Grace wants to do is run her
small cafe with her best friend, Belle, in the Faelan
werewolf reservation, find missing items and live in peace.
Unfortunately, she finds herself caught up in something that
really could out her and Belle as witches, in a town filled
with witch haters.
She is asked to find a young woman, and that leads to
finding the body and almost being arrested by the local
ranger. The last thing she wants is for the world to know
she is the runaway daughter of a powerful witch family and
Belle is her familiar, though she is also a witch, a human
and a good friend. They were chased out of one town but
really want to stay in this one. If only they could stay
under the radar, but now ... it seems they are going to be
pulled into the investigation. Lizzie wonders how she can
help capture the vampire, stay in town, but most of all not
become attracted to one sexy witch hating ranger.
BLOOD KISSED is a book that will have your imagination
captured so thoroughly you won't want it to end. I enjoyed
the way author Keri Arthur gives Lizzie and Belle's
background little by little as she spins her web with what
is happening now. I liked the ranger, (in U.S. terms he's a
cop) Aiden, too, as he is a werewolf and the fact that he is
anti-witch, who's story makes that very understandable,
leads one to wonder if he is going to be the love interest
of Lizzie or not. The characters in the town are diverse,
some scary, others quirky and fun adding to the good vibe
that makes you want to read more. It also makes you want to
find this town and visit or live there.
I have been a fan of Ms. Arthur's since her Riley
Jenson series and am so glad to see this new series is
filled with the things I love -- magic, Australia,
werewolves, witches, good vs. evil, even if the romance part
is very slow moving, if at all for Lizzie. Belle has more
fun. I thought it amazing when the author added in that the
two friends are telepathically linked because that allowed
for a number of funny moments.
If you are looking for something fresh, fun, with a twist on
witches and werewolves, then get your hands on BLOOD KISSED
by author Keri Arthur and enjoy!
In a world where magic and science sit side by side, and
powerful witches are considered necessary aides for all
governments, Lizzie Grace is something of an outlier. Though
born into one the most powerful blue blood witch families,
she wants nothing to do with either her past or her magic.
But when she and Belle, her human familiar and best friend,
open a small cafe in the Faelan werewolf reservation, she
quickly finds herself enmeshed in the hunt for a vampire
intent on wreaking bloody havoc.
It’s a hunt that soon becomes personal, and one that is
going to take all her skills to survive–that’s if the
werewolves, who hate all things witch, don’t get her first.
