Thank you so much to the author for the ARC!
This book was so fun! It was like a thriller and a fantasy mixed together and I enjoyed it! I could see the scenes play out in my head as if it was a movie, and I enjoyed how descriptive the story was!
You get thrown right into the action from page 1 which I really enjoyed, and then learning about the world and politics. I loved the different elements of creatures we got in this book, the vampires being my favourite.
The only reason I rated it a bit down was it started to slow down for me around the 40-60% mark but then quickly picked up. I loved the last 5 chapters as it was filled with action and twists! I would recommend this to anyone who’s a thriller and/or fantasy lover, and looking for an easy fast paced story!
I would love to see where this world goes next and get more from these characters. Though this was a completed story, I could totally see this being turned into a series!
Once again, thank you so much to the author for the ARC!

Review of advance copy received from Author
Action-packed from the very start! I loved this book: the characters feel so real and compelling, the plot is non-stop, and I wanted to dive into the world and learn as much as I could about it. The world building is really awesome—it's a dark world that feels very tangible and alive. I didn't see the ending coming at all and already want more of Maura, Ilie, Boris, and the rest of the crew (special shoutout to Zayne!).
A very fun, engaging, and addicting read from start to finish. Five stars!

Received this eARC from BookSirens
Spoiled Blood had a good plot and great pacing that kept me continuously turning pages, however I was rather bored at times. From the beginning the story just jumps right in and I get confused when that happens. I found myself confused as to the world, politics, and characters. I kept reading though and I did enjoy the story I just feel it could have been better executed. Thank you so much for the early copy to BookSirens and Isla Storm. My rating is 3.4 ⭐️

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Spoiled Blood by Isla Storm was an amazing read! Action packed from the very beginning. When I think of a Paranormal Thriller this is EXACTLY what I’m looking for. I definitely recommend reading this book and can not wait for the next book in the series.
