ARC Reader Review - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
2 for 2 now! Wow! Just wow! I could not put this book down!! Finished it in two days. Honestly it would’ve been one if I didn’t have responsibilities.
The feelings that this book made me feel were all over the place. I felt humor, sadness, suspense, and a little bit of spice/romance! 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Humor: The banter between Thelos and Ella had me laughing out loud
Sadness: When she was kidnapped by Seraphel and she was confused. I felt so bad for her
Suspense: All of the trials she had to endure kept me full of suspense! I was literally fidgety the whole time. LOL I couldn’t stay still!!
Spice/Romance: The connection that she made with Kaelis was so sweet. When he told her “And if tomorrow takes me… Then this time we were given, was worth every lifetime I had waited to find it.” I literally got a knot in my throat and wanted to start bawling right there. That was the sweetest thing ever!!! I fell in love with him there. He was genuinely my favorite character in this book!!
I can’t wait for the 2nd book. I’m fully invested 10000000%!

2.5🌶
I am so happy I was an ARC Reader for this one! We have humans, demons, deals, trials, love triangle and so much more. Ella our FMC finds herself taken to the underworld where she learns from the demon who took her she has magic. Ella spends a few years learning her magic and learning how to defend herself if she ever gets discovered since humans are not allowed in the underworld. Well suprise she gets discovered and if she wants to live she must complete 3 trials. Her father figure Seraphel calls in for help to see that his adoptive daughter makes it through. We have 2 potential guys she may end up with. She learns a lot about herself during the trails and who she is. However that ending really had me staring at the wall for a solid 30 minutes. I loved every twist and turn and did not see that ending coming! I need book 2!!!

A definite 5 star read!
Sealed in Blood is such a gripping story! I highly recommend this book; it is a great dark fantasy with magic, spiciness, demons, hellhounds, and a series of trials set in the underworld.
It all starts with an old legend, and offering & a wish. Ella is a modern day teenager who one day gets pulled into the underworld while still being a living human. She’s surrounded by demons (some very attractive, others not even close.) The relationship that forms between Ella and Seraphel is so sweet. I though I liked Thalos the best… but then there was Kealis and oh my goodness!
My favorite quote was by Bea "There's an eternity of ugliness here. This is where I borrow something beautiful."
Book two can not come soon enough; I can’t wait to see what happens! Thank you to the author L.L. Reid for the opportunity to read & review this wonderful book.

I loved every second of this book. The characters kept me guessing all the way through!! Ella is an amazing fmc and I’m cheering her on in everything she does. Kaelis is a mystery but one that I adore and can’t wait to unravel. The second book can’t come fast enough because this one ended on a cliffhanger that I can’t get over. This author knows how to grab you and not let you go
