Review: Lifeblood

Lifeblood by Gena Showalter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received an ARC of this novel with thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. in exchange for a honest and voluntary review.

i really liked this book.
I'm actually going to go back to read the first book. but without reading the first one i at first was hesitant to read let alone review an ARC of this book but i promised i would do one, so don't stop reading yet!

ok so first thoughts. Reading the first book IS A MUST!!!!! as i feared reading the first few pages i felt like i had missed something. but what had i missed? the journey of Tenly ( ten to her friends) to the point of where the book starts?... yeah i missed that. I missed this whole Troika and Myriad thing too.
this kind of spoiled my experience with this book.
so i continued on. some authors explain briefly what happened to get to this point.
you kind of get that with this book, but it is expertly weaved into the storyline that its not entirely visible. which is great for the continuing reader (aka people who read book 1).
so it turns out i haven't missed much at all..... but i still recommend reading book 1 .

I like whats going on between Killian and Ten. its interesting and i hope to see more of it.
but the constant growth of Ten is really something to watch. but lets face it i think i'm developing a new book character crush on Killian!

Gena Showalter has once again created great characters. Characters that you love, laugh and cry with (and for).
I just lapped this book up. once i got into it. seriously read the first book though. the start was a bit rough for me, but once i caught on, i just became absorbed in the book.

Im going to go back and read the first book and most likely add this and the others in the series into my collection!
