Red-Haired Ash Reads

Brigette was once the conduit for ultimate evil to reach Earth. Now, she is a lonely were living in an isolated Irish cottage, cut off from her animal and humanity. When a band of rebels approaches her to betray the king of the vampires, she tags along to try to gather information she can use to warn the king with. 

I am glad we are finally getting Bridgette’s story. While she was an evil character, you quickly realize there’s more to her than her past. While everyone may view her as an enemy, she is still determined to protect her remaining family and the world. She was a very strong woman who has been through so much. Yes, she did terrible things but she has realized that and is trying to be a better person. I really liked that she was able to redeem herself a little in this book.

Xi was an interesting vampire. He is one of Styxx’s Ravens and has the unique ability to disappear into his surroundings. This makes him the perfect partner for Bridgette while she is undercover. Xi and Bridgette have an instant attraction but they both try to push it aside while stopping the enemy. I really enjoyed their slow relationship because you could feel their intense attraction and growing feelings in every scene and look. 

These two were great characters with some intense and prolonged chemistry. The overall story was pretty great as well with a growing rebellion, attacks on lairs, and unexpected enemies. We see the return of quite a few main characters from previous books, like Viper, Troy, and of course Levet.  I can’t wait for the next book.
