A Shade of Blood

by Bella Forrest
Rating: 3.5/5

This one was okay but I didn't enjoy it as much as the first. I think once again, if only we could give half stars, I'd rate it a 3.5. I like hearing the story from different points of view and I think how Ms. Forrest wrote this series is interesting, but it was a little too much for me in this book. To switch who's view you're reading from in the first book was actually kind of nice but in this one it was just too much jumping around. I think I would have liked it better if there were say 3-4 chapters in one person's account before switching to another with some exceptions of course.

As for the story line, it was predictable but still a nice read. Short and still captivating. One thing drove me nuts and that's how the author always likes to use first and last names. This is the second book, I think we know by now that Derek's last name is Novak and Sofia's is Claremont. I understand the need to use both at certain times but it was unnecessarily overused so that definitely got old.

Looking forward to the third novel and I hope it has less chaotic jumping around.
