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!

Merciless Spy by Heather Long

  Merciless Spy, (82 Street Vandals) Heather Long ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: The fierce twin. The dark brother. The wild one. I don’t give a damn about labels. I never have. Not when it comes to me. But stay the hell away from my brothers. All of them. I’ve sacrificed a lot for them, and I’m more than willing to give a lot more. If my blood, sweat, tears, and life were needed, I’d give it all up. Every damn drop. For my brothers, there was nothing I wouldn’t lose. Until her. Reckless, ferocious, and seemingly born to match me in temperament and spirit, Hellspawn is not the fragile flower they all think she is. I don’t think she ever has been. She will not be left behind, she will not hide, and she will not take the crap that life has been throwing at her. She’s saved our lives, defended us, fought for us, and sacrificed herself for us. I have no questions about what she would do if they tried to leverage us against her. This is why I won’t allow anyone to put her to t...
