Servant by Rebecca Royce

 

Servant, (Trials of Blood)
Rebecca Royce
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Blurb:
By the end of the day my best friends will all be dead…. I’m not very interesting. Most people just leave me alone. I’m poor and on my own more than I’m not. Lately, however, I’ve caught the attention of five guys who I never expected to know. Rowan. Ace. Tanner. Griffin. Caesar. They are rich. Powerful. Gorgeous. Sometimes they set things on fire. And, they’re loaded with secrets they won’t tell me. I think I want to know what they’re hiding. I’m wrong. Once they share their truths with me, I’ll never be the same. It turns out, everyone is a servant of the darkness, whether they know it or not. *The reader should be aware this is book 1 of 3. The happy ending comes with book 3. The heroine is stronger than she knows, the guys filled with depths they can’t imagine, and the heat will build from sweet in this novel to very intense by book 3. Please read accordingly. You have been warned.*


Servant is the first book in Rebecca's new Trials of Blood trilogy and Oh.My.Word. I finished this book last night and I'm still thinking about it today. Our heroine is Maci. She doesn't have a father and she really might as well not have a mother either. Her life would be easier if she didn't. She has been taking care of herself, going to school and working. Trying to save up so when she graduates in a few years she can leave and never look back. She doesn't have time for friends or a social life. Not that many people would want to associate with her anyway thanks to dear old mom. But she usually just keeps to herself and stays out of everyone else's way. Until one day, she doesn't. "Stop". One word. That's all it takes to alter the course of her life. 

Rowan, Griffin, Ace, Tanner and Caesar aren't your typical high school boys. They aren't into the things your normal teenagers would be. They already know what their future holds for them. They are less than thrilled with it too. They are just biding their time, awaiting their doom. Until Maci speaks up. That one word changes their lives too. 

Honestly in the beginning of this book, I wasn't too sure. There were a couple of moments that had me like, eh. But I love RR's work and I knew she wouldn't let me down and I'm so freaking glad that I kept going. Once you get down into the meat of it all, man, what a story. My heart just broke for Maci. All that she has to endure. Then for it to all end like it did. Ugh, RR did us dirty. LOL She did tell us that it wasn't going to be a happy ending on book one though so we knew it was coming. Didn't lessen the blow any. I'm really intrigued by the little pieces I'm putting together of the story though. Anticipating what is going to happen in the future. I have a feeling that our poor little Maci is going to be one fierce lady coming soon. I can't wait!

Taking a Break

  Taking a break Hello! I randomly decided to come on here today and it looks like someone actually does visit this site on occasion. I feel like I owe it to you to let you know that I won't be posting any new reviews for a while. I've been really burnt out on reading for a while now and while I do still read every now and again, I just don't have the same passion about it. When I write a review for the blog, I feel it has to be more in depth and informative and I just don't have that in me right now. Also, the book world just disappoints me sometimes and I don't feel like I'm in the head space to give it my all. Anywho, if you are reading this, thank you for being around and supporting me for however long you've been here. I appreciate you. Maybe one day I will get back into it and start reading and reviewing again. In the meantime, I do still review the books I read on Amazon and Goodreads .

Reckless Thief by Heather Long

  Reckless Thief, (82 Street Vandals) Heather Long ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: The mentor. The doctor. The Vandal. I grew up on the streets despite my older sister’s best efforts to keep my nose clean. I thought I knew better. I worked hard. and made money. Who cared if what I did was a little illegal? Then a little boy paid the price for my carelessness. A little boy and his baby sister. It was the wakeup call I needed, even if the cost came too high. Rough choices made for rough outcomes and when I had the chance to join the military or go to jail to get straight, I went to the military. I paid for my thoughtless actions by becoming deliberate. I paid for my greed by offering service. I paid for my chance at a better life with blood, sweat, and fire. That service left me scarred but determined. Medical school and training taught me I could continue to serve. I walked away from the streets, from the blood, the violence, and costs of doing business. Living a life I ...
