I read it in one sitting!

This is a 4.5 star!!!!!!!!!! I’m at a loss for words finishing this story. My jaw is on the floor. It is gut wrenching, raw, violent and threw me at the end.
This story left me mad at times, it left me crying, nauseous and heartbroken. The trauma was real, the events are real with emotions and truly left me speechless. It had me cheering on the MFC, Jenna, but desperate to help her. And then all the sudden, BAM!!! The twist was epic!
Bravo, Chris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please check ALL trigger warning before jumping into this story!

The Blood Archives proves that Jenna has never known how to stay out of the storm, and this installment drags her deeper into chaos with relentless force. What begins as an attempt to disappear quickly becomes a descent into darker territory, as Marco’s reach proves impossible to escape and every choice carries devastating weight. The stakes escalate with heartbreak and raw humanity when Jenna’s pregnancy shifts the power dynamics and places a target on her back, culminating in Sophie’s birth amid violence and war. The twists are brutal, the emotions razor-sharp, and the narrative refuses to pull its punches. That ending is shocking, haunting, and impossible to forget—a final blow that left me staring at the page, stunned!!

My jaw is on the floor! This was nothing like I had expected but was heart wrenching and amazing all at the same time!

My heart broke several times reading this book. The twists I didn’t see coming, the absolutely phenomenal storyline that makes you want to keep reading and needing more long after it’s finished.

I’ve said it so many times Jenna is a BadA$$ and a force to be reckoned with. She fills from the depths of her being to fight for what she wants and needs.

If you haven’t read Medicine and Mischief yet, you need to before you dive into this book. Blood archives was such a great title for this book!

Y'all! I can't even describe the feelings I have right now!!! This is the sequel to Medicine and Mischief, so be sure to read that 1st! The writing is raw and immersive, with high stakes that keep the tension tight from start to finish! If you're a fan of hard-edged crime and thrillers will find this a gripping, unforgettable read.
Perfect for readers who like their stories bold, brutal, and emotionally charged. 📚🔥

I genuinely loved this book. The Blood Archives is dark, eerie, and the kind of story that quietly gets under your skin and stays there. The writing feels intentional and confident and the atmosphere is thick in the best way. It’s unsettling, emotional, and smart—more than just horror, it actually means something. I kept thinking about it long after I finished. Highly recommend if you like your stories haunting and a little bit uncomfortable.
