![]() ![]() Betrayal.” - really encapsulates the experience of this book. Sometimes things move too quickly, but I'm comforted in that respect by the fact that a sequel is on the way. Once the mystery is revealed the story races forward, delving deeper into the creation of a pantheon of vampires, vampire hunters and blood witches, and featuring action sequences that, told with Lexi's trademark stream-of-consciousness narration, put me on the edge of my seat. The supernatural element is woven into plot organically, with teases and hints building until Lexi learns the truth about who she is – a secret that I enjoyed as a unique spin on the established vampire mythos. ![]() Scenes of Lexi with family, friends, or her new beau Sebastian feel very genuine you can easily experience the warmth and compassion in her heart for those close to her. ![]() I read Blood and Magick: Betrayed from start to finish in less than a day, and if you're anything like me, there's a chance you will, too.įrom the very beginning I formed an attachment to the main character, Alexis “Lexi” Talbot. ![]()
