I received this book as an ARC in exchange for my honest review. I thought this was a good book. You have a girl who is struggling in her life and is being forced to go live with her grandparents to figure out her priorities. This leads her to seeing her childhood crush again. There are secrets about the ranch and her crush that she will soon find out. After discovering these secrets she is faced with an impossible decision. The story itself was very interesting, I just felt like I wanted to know more. I also felt that some parts of the story felt thrown in and there wasn’t any substance to those parts. Make sure to check your trigger warnings for this book. It is a spicy dark romantasy. Overall it was a good book.

ARC review
I have mixed feelings about this book. Overall I did enjoy the story. The main plot was quite good and the idea of the story had much potential.
However they were many things I didn't like and things that irritated me..
1. I read to escape the reality. And if I pick a fantasy story I don't expect to be hit in a face with real world problems. FMC suffers from ailments after being sick because she didn't get the vaccine in time. Pandemic is mentioned a few times. So she had covid and she has permanent symptoms because of it. Not something I wish to read about in a fantasy story.
2. IKEA and Fifty shades of grey is mentioned. Again it annoys me to have real life things in fantasy story. Mixing real places, real movies, covid, vampires and werewolfs in the same story is big ick for me.
3. In chapter 11 there is an intimate scene wich is straight from the movie "365 days". Love that movie and did not appreciate this copying.
4. The phrase "for dear life" starts to annoy you after reading it like hundred times in the same story..
5. In the end Caz and Caspian being in the same dody was too much like "The Soul Forge" to me with Vel and Sypher. The original personality being Sypher and the body is his but his dark side/demon lives in his body too and sometimes takes control.
6. At the end of the book I found it too cruel to eliminate the entire pack of wolfs. They had nothing to do with the crimes their alpha did. Killing children for no good reason.
7. Cutting of manhood and feeding it to pigs? Really? This didn't fit the rest of the story at all. Especially when she was never raped.
I don't mind reading cruel and brutal things. I love dark romance and dark fantasy. But all the cruelty must blend in. Being quite tame story and adding something unnecessary violent at the end just threw me off.
I will be reading the next book because I did like the main story regardless all the flaws.

Have you ever imagined what it would be like if the person you loved were split into two completely different people? The Kingdom of Blood & Fate by K. R. McRae is why choose at its finest. It is a thrilling fantasy romance that pulls readers into a world filled with curses, dangerous magic, and heart-wrenching choices. With a dark ruthless king, an old curse, and a love triangle that could change everything, this story blends fantasy, suspense, and romance into a captivating tale that will have you flying through the pages.
What begins as a miserable summer for Briar quickly transforms into something far more extraordinary. After reconnecting with Caz, the boy from childhood memories, Briar is suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into a strange and dangerous realm. There she meets King Caspian, Caz’s complete opposite. Throughout the story, Briar struggles with questions of love and loyalty versus fate and choice. The magnetic pull between the two men keeps readers wondering who she will ultimately choose. Will Briar hold on to the safe and familiar love of her childhood, or will she give in to the darker desire that draws her toward the king?
K.R. McRae pulls readers into a magical world where every choice has consequences, and love can be both powerful and dangerous. The emotional conflict between the characters makes the story especially engaging, and the idea of being trapped between two worlds, and two loves, creates a lot of suspense. It’s a story about love, destiny, and the courage it takes to decide your own fate even when powerful forces are trying to decide it for you. Readers who enjoy dramatic romance, magical kingdoms, and stories about destiny will likely find this book hard to put down. I know I did.
