These books are getting steadily better as we go along. This time around, we actually get to meet some of Franki's powerful family!! So also get to see some of Franki's more powerful magical abilities whilst fighting dark vamps and other activities. Things are looking up.

This book picks up where the last book left off (as pretty much every book before this one has) with the 'destruction' of Venom. Franki's life is once again thrown upside-down when Selena 'blows up' Venom in order to keep everyone safe from The Devil. But Franki and Lyla are left on the wrong side of the portal and are now running for their lives from The Devil and his crew.

Along the way, Franki will continue to be baffled by the kindnesses of others and their willingness to see her safe and alive, even against their own safety. Why are so many people willing to put her before themselves? Why are so many people risking their lives so that she might live? Who is she to deserve such efforts? All this and more are questioned in this fifth addition to the Sacrifice Me series.

Is it hot in here or...

Nope that is just Rend and Franki,

Cannon has outdone herself yet again. I read this episode in one day. It was fast paced, gripping and I didn't want it to stop. The tie in with Peachville, although I could have used just a tad bit more Jackson, and who Franki is related to is brilliant!

The heat between Rend and Franki was....oh boy I am not finding the right word to describe it but it is hot and sexy.

The ending was surprising and left the reader wanting the next episode now. Another brilliant story from this author. She has a fan for life.

What a fantastic episode! Read it in one sitting and loved every minute of it. This one was action packed with so many twists. I loved the tie in with Peachville. I'm definitely hooked and need episode 6 now.

Beautiful

This series is beautifully written. The journey so far has been thrilling. I never thought it would tie into Shadow Demons the way it has.. Awesome.

Slightly OT comment: I really don't like the porn-y covers of these episodes. I don't think they're at all in keeping with what actually happens underneath the cover. Yes, there's some sex happening in them, but this isn't erotica.

Warning: some spoilers ahead.

I've come to the conclusion that I really don't like the romance with Rend. It's not that he's a bad character, per se. Instead, the problem is that this is a pretty standard vampire romance story. I don't think there's any real buildup to what's going on between Rend and Franki. There's definite insta-love here, and they spend so little time together that I never got the sense that they were learning to love one another's personalities. It's a classic case of "you're hot" "no, you're hot"--"Who cares? Let's make out!" I don't dislike books that delve into the physical side of a relationship, if it's relevant to the plot, but I do like to see the character connecting on a mental level AND physical level. I don't feel any of that here.

Yet I still do like the plot of these episodes, and I am very interested in the world being created here. I like how with each episode I learn more about the world and about Franki's innate powers. I'm really looking forward to seeing what she's capable of.

All of the episodes in the Sacrifice Me series has been leading up to this moment and "The Devil" is the best installment to date.

While on a break with Lyla at Club Venom, a strange man shows up and makes it clear just who he is, the Devil. He kills the guardian and Franki is immobilized due to shock. The club is on fire and Frank fears Rend and the others at Venom are dead. Lula whisk her away to a safe house.

Franki discovers the secrets of Venom and is relieved to know Rend is still alive. He sends two of his friends to take the girls to safety but they must separate after a second attack. Franki ends up in Peachville, GA where she meets her cousin, Mary Anne, Harper and the rest of the girls.

When Rend arrives they are relieved to see each other. They go to a unique location and soon find themselves sealing the 'deal'' so to speak. Then, the unthinkable happens. Nope, I won't say what it is.

This book was awesomesauce! I am a little saddened that the next book will be the end of first season but I know that it will promise epic things for the season to follow.

I loved this serial! Do you know those books that just devour you? Where you look at the page and, instead of seeing words and descriptions, the entire story plays in your mind like a movie? That’s how reading Sarra Cannon’s work is for me, and Sacrifice Me was no exception.

Each episode was a quick read, and took me about an hour to get through each one, a perfect length for someone constantly on the go. I LOVED the inclusion of the characters from Sarra’s previous series, Peachville High Demons, but as she states in the description, you don’t have to have read any of that series to get the most of this one. That being said, I also had a great time guessing and figuring out how Franki’s story was connected the PHD series.


This was my favorite book of the season! I loved hearing the lore behind the vampires, seeing Franki finally tap into her real powers, and the ending with Rend and Franki, cue dramatic swoon.

Frankie..... Rend..... How many times till you finally understood one another. But dam, why did she have to show up now at this moment. I knew it was coming but dang. I so want to say that she will totally be the one to betray her. Like serious if she doesn't that's going to be such a plot twist. Either way, awesome story line and if was great to read about Harper and Jackson again. :)

The 5th part of this serial is action-packed, links in with some characters in Cannon's Peachville Demons series and amps up the steam on the romance. It's been a great journey so far and with one episode left until it's over I can't wait to see how it all ends. Recommended for urban fantasy and PNR fans who like action-packed plot-lines.

I love this series so much. I'm saddened that the next episode is the last episode of this season. I think this is my favorite book in the series so far. I loved seeing the Peachville characters come into play in this series. It's combining two of my favorite things, and making the wait for Emerald Darkness not as painful.

I wish it was all in 1 book...

I love this series. I only wish that it was all in 1 book. Waiting for the next book to find out what happens is a killer. I haven't read the other series but plan to.

this was a good start and as it was free I thought I had nothing to lose. I felt it was a little too short because as soon as you start to get into the story, it had ended. I am not a huge fan of this style of novel but I was interested enough to buy the next book to see where it goes.

This series just keeps getting better and better with every episode. I am yet to read a story by her that doesn't hold my attention and pull me in.

Quick books, the short nature of these books makes them fast to read through and easy to put down. I enjoyed Frankie’s story and how the character developed over the story
