The plot was plotting. So many unexpected turns. Not what I expected when I started this ride. One of those stories that stays with you and you need to find out what happens next.

My favorite tropes of mate bonds. Not a fan of the love triangle aspect but hanging on to this roller coaster.

Bloodlust (book two in the Blood of the Fae series) by Abby Moore absolutely wrecked me—in the best way possible. I loved this book so much, and not just because the story itself is gripping and addictive, but because you can feel the heart and soul poured into every page. The evolution in Abby Moore’s writing is honestly breathtaking. Watching her grow as an author, listening to her readers, learning, adapting, and still staying true to her voice? It’s awe-inspiring. I adore this woman and this author more than I can put into words.
The character growth and struggles though… wow. It’s slow, intentional, and so beautifully done. Nothing feels rushed or forced. The evolution happens in a way that feels natural and earned, and it makes you ache for these characters while also rooting for them with your whole chest.
AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE UNDERWATER SCENE?! If you know, you KNOW. Hands down my favorite spicy scene I have ever read. Jaw on the floor, full body chills, a phenomenal time. Not only was the spice immaculate, but the act itself and the scenery Abby painted around it? Absolutely stunning. Sensual, immersive, and unforgettable.
That said, this book can be heavy. The struggles and events are not always easy to digest, so please check your triggers—but those darker moments add so much depth and emotional weight to the story. And the twists? I fear my heart genuinely cannot take much more of this. Abby does not play fair.
Aside from the character death I may never emotionally recover from (looking directly at you, Abby—HOW COULD YOU), this book was so freaking amazing that I will never stop recommending it. Ever. Period.
Please do yourself a favor and pick up this series—or honestly, anything by Abby Moore—because OMG. You will not regret it. 🖤🔥

Oh my gosh, Abby has done it YET AGAIN.

This story was the perfect continuation of BloodWorthy. There were so many twists and turns in this book that it constantly kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting more and more. The tears I shed in this book, along with the ANGER I felt finding out about the betrayal. I mean I think I went through the 5 stages of grief throughout this book. I just loved everything about it, and I cannot wait for book three because there is just no way I can go on without knowing what happens next 😩. I just love this entire series with everything in me.

I have to just give it 5 stars because they don't give you the choice of 10 stars. Bloodlust has everything I expected of Serena Bloodworthy. Be sure to read the trigger warnings. I ugly cryed and laughed because of this book. The torture that Serena gose through in this book. The blot twist in this story will keep you on your toes. Abby Moore is such a talented upcoming writer, keep your eyes on her. I can't wait for the next book.

ARC review*
I quickly dove into this book after finishing Bloodworthy!!!!
As other reviewers have mentioned Abby has done it again! She has pulled her audience in and took us for a ride!
As Serena's journey continues, we see how she struggles with her new role as Queen. I absolutely loved how the author (Abby Moore) wrote the different internal struggles the FMC was experiencing as she adjusted to her new life and the sacrifices she had to make to get there. We see her compassion she has for her new subjects and the way her people respond to her as their new queen.
I cannot wait for the next installment to this series!!
In the meantime, I will now go devour the prequel series ( A Court of Unforgiving Gods) because I need MORE!

I LOVED this book!! Abby has done it again and left me in withdrawals. The writing is spectacular and the plot twists were SO unexpected! I am so excited to see where the last book in the trilogy is gonna go. I highly recommend this series as it is SOO good!

[Kirby Coxie · Rating 5 out of 5]

As always Abby has written a binge worthy book absolutely worth reading. It had me mad, sad, shocked, & on the edge of my seat flipping the pages to find out what happened next.

[Andrea Baldwin · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you’re looking for a fun, easy to read romantasy with some spice, look no further. The sarcasm, the banter, all of it, so entertaining! Honestly a wonderful palate cleanser. Loved it!

[Sherae Mize · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is a slam dunk. Book 2 pick up in a forced marriage of lies and deceit. The king is just the right amount of mess around and find out mixed with a tricksters charm. Can’t wait for book 3 to come out!

JAW DROP

This book was sooo good! I love me a good fantasy romance that has some twist and multiple love interest. The characters growth is so good and ugh the plot twist! I literally can not wait to find out what happens next

[Amber Arehart · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg I thought the first book was good but this one topped it!! The depth of the characters in this book was so amazing, I loved being able to feel like I was truly in their shoes and able to feel what they were feeling. I also love a good little love triangle and the one happening in this book is by far my favorite! Both characters are written so well it’s hard to choose who I want Serena to be with! I was also not expecting the plot twist at the end and OMG I cannot wait to read the next book and see what happens. If you love romantasy please give this book a try!!

[Kaylee Kunz · Rating 5 out of 5]

omg loved!!! THIS CLIFFHANGER ended me though 😑

[Bethanie Hatcher · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such an amazing read! If you want a FMC who is strong, determined, and knows her worth this book is for you!!

[Morgan Brookshire · Rating 5 out of 5]

The twists and turns really just hit different! Abby has done it yet again and I’m so ready for another book in this series once it comes?? AGH!! LOVE IT!!

[Courtney Buchanan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh. My. Gosh.

After reading Bloodworthy, I had high expectations for Bloodlust and it completely went beyond my expectations. Bloodlust gave me ALL the feels!! The plot twist at the end?! Unbelievable. The character growth throughout the book?! Incredible.

Bloodlust is definitely one of my favorite reads, and I wish it was longer!! Serena’s story is so captivating and all that she has went through and continues to go through is astonishing, truly the strongest FMC I’ve read about in a while.

Although I’m sad about finishing Bloodlust, I’m looking forward to the next book! So many questions that I’m excited to have answers for, but not sure if I’m ready to for the emotional damage 🫣

[Erin O’Brien · Rating 5 out of 5]

I need the 3rd book like I need oxygen. Abby knows what’s she’s doing, she writes these characters so well that we feel all the feelings for them. She writes these books so well with hidden life lessons in them. This girl also knows how to write a surprising ending/cliff hanger. Can’t recommend this series enough

[Kaylee K · Rating 5 out of 5]

I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOVVVVEDDD THIS BOOK!!! I thought bloodworthy was amazing but THIS!?! Literally was such an amazing book minus the mental damage this book caused me by some events at the end 🤧 but other than seeing Abby Moore clearly want to see her characters go through depression.... Everything else was fantastic, the tension was high, the spice was spicing & the story became more in-depth and a lot of questions were answered that were asked through bloodworthy. I loved how in this book Serena is without her powers so she must go through the struggles of how to live without them, which I found refreshing compared to her being able to do everything. BUT HOLY FUCKING SHIT THE TWIST AT THE END!?! READ THIS BOOK FOR ONLY THAT!!! LIKE IM STILL IN SHOCK FROM IT!!!😭 (but uh... yeah, definitely recommend, 5 stars for sure)

[Myndi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book even more than the first in the series, and I wouldn't have thought that possible. The relationships are more complex, and as a reader, you are drawn in and pulled along for an epic ride that delivers shocking surprises and tragedies that bring you to tears.

I found myself grudgingly changing opinions I had formed in book one. Characters I thought of as truly evil turned out to not be as bad, but some turned out to be even worse.

Serena proves even more how strong, and compassionate she is, and I enjoyed watching her form friendships and taking care of her people. I was especially fond of the time she took out of her journeys to play with the children in the villages.

The ending was such a shock to my system and I'm seriously bummed that I can't dive right into book 3. I will eagerly be awaiting its publication.

Well done, Abby Moore, please keep them coming!

I would first like to think the Author for sending me an arc copy.
Abby Moore is extremely kind.
I loved this book thoroughly! Her writing has grown substantially from the first book to this one and you can tell in the way the characters are so developed in the story. The world building was phenomenal. The banter was amazing between the two main characters.
I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait to see how the third book ends.

[Kara Thrower · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought the first book was amazing but this one BLEW ME AWAY!!! The feelings, the love, the bonds had me in all of my feels. The trauma broke my heart in ways I cannot describe. I feel like all of them are a part of my very being now and I cannot wait for the next one. I don’t know if I’ll get to live in this world enough honestly. Abby Moore did it again 🙌🏻

Serena and Alwin —- possibly sailor

I can’t wait to see where this is going to be taken…. Into the fae lands but whattt is going to happen

Then with her guys… alwin is her mate 🖤but she also has her boyfriend sailor… who Alwin is ok with her having to “explore”

I love sailor but i think the whole mate part of this book is where they shouldn’t share anymore … considering how the mating bond is. But we shall see and I’m very excited!

[Rachael Engelman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Literally RAN here from Blood Worthy! This book had me on the EDGE of my seat. Not going to give any spoilers, but OH MY did I not expect how some of these events played out nor the chemistry that developed within her love triangle!

[Lottie Mclaughlin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is also one of my favorites!!!! I could literally never put it down. Such good work you are very talented. I’m hooked on all of your books. Congratulations 🎉

The growth in this authors writing is truly inspiring to me. This book is by far a million times better than the first.
So beautifully written, and honestly always one of my favorite reads in 2026.
