A thousand years of existence, and I've felt nothing.
No spark. No hunger beyond blood. No purpose outside protecting my brothers in the Eternal Sins MC.
A club of monsters pretending we're just bikers—dragons, lycans, necromancers, warlocks, shifters, and more. Creatures bound together by secrecy and survival. We've built something here—a fortress, a family, forged from beings the world would burn if it ever learned the truth.
Then she walks into my bar.
Sloane doesn't belong in my world. She's human, fragile, and carrying a weight in her eyes that tells me she's already survived too much. I should keep my distance, let her live her life untouched by monsters like me.
Instead, my Bloodfire stirs for the first time in centuries.
Wanting her is reckless. Claiming her would be unforgivable. And yet every instinct I have tells me she's already bound to this world, whether she knows it or not.
When violence comes for her, everything changes. Lines are crossed, laws are broken, and ancient powers take notice.
I've spilled blood for my club. I've buried enemies without regret. But protecting Sloane means defying forces that don't forgive, and won't forget.
Because loving her may cost me my brothers, my freedom…
And the woman she still is.
But protecting Sloane might mean losing her to the monster she's becoming.

This is the first book in the Eternal Sins MC series, about a paranormal group pretending to be bikers but, in reality, bound together by secrecy and their desire to survive.
I will say that I wasn’t immediately hooked by the storyline, but I realised very quickly that it needed to begin this way. I say this because I wouldn’t want any reader to think the story continues in this vein.
Sloane is a human who enters Crace’s bar, which is the start of a whole new life for her. Crave is one of the original vampires who has left the other originals and is now the leader of the Eternal Sins MC. They can’t resist the attraction they have for each other, but apart that, 🤐 no spoilers.
There are lots of different paranormal characters that add to the book’s appeal. The issue of others trying to destroy the MC ends up in dramatic scenes with big battles that all add excitement.
I have read nearly all of the books written by both of these authors so I was extremely excited to read Bloodfire Rising, it did not disappoint.
Bloodfire Rising is the first book in a fantasy series set in a richly imagined world where elemental magic, political intrigue, and personal destinies collide, it is also the first book I have read by K. E. Osborn and Kathleen Kelly and take about being chucked in at the deep end!! I mean wow there is so much to take in – all the mystical creatures, the magic, the Originals aka the Coven of Crows all of this and more awaits you in the covers of this book.
The story follows Crave aka Draven a member of the Coven of Crows who walked away hundreds of years ago searching for something other than blood and destruction.
Sloane, an ER nurse, has always felt apart from society. She works and very little else so one night after a very long shift she stops into a, let’s say recommended biker bar just to see what all the fuss is about. Never in a million years did she expect one simple drink to change the course of her life. Turns out, Sloane has awoken the bloodlust inside Crave, so one night when the bar is attacked and Sloane is hurt, they awaken something long thought lost.
Their lives become connected by prophecy, magical abilities, and the struggle for survival in their world that is being threatened by both human and mystical forces.
The book explores themes of power, loyalty, and destiny, emphasizing the challenges of trust in a world full of hidden motives and betrayal. Personal growth, sacrifice, and the moral dilemmas faced by the main characters add depth to the story, making it not just a fantasy-adventure tale but also a character-driven exploration of courage and resilience. It combines intrigue, magic, and character-driven storytelling. To say it is a strong introduction to the broader series while immersing you in a high-stakes, vividly constructed world, you are going to love it!!! Oh and as a side note Crave is extremely HOTT!!!!❤️🔥
OMG…. Everyone who knows me knows that paranormal romance IS my all time favorite books, movies, series etc you name it and MIC books are a close second. So, when I read the blurb for this AND saw that K. E. Osborn and Kathleen Kelly were the ones writing it I legit squealed.
When Draven AKA Crave left the Coven of Crows he was looking for something more. He formed The Eternal Sins MC and his brotherhood is made up of every single paranormal creature imaginable and then some. He knows that the Crows are always watching from afar and since humans are being turned by a rogue vampire the Coven of Crows will be back in Crave’s life and if that’s not bad enough add Sloane into the scenario and he knows that he’d do anything to protect her. Even if she’s not a human or just a regular paranormal creature.
Sloane’s an RN in the ER and after a terribly hard shift she walks into a bar that’s got a bad reputation but somethings calling her towards it.
The more time she spends with Crave at the bar the more she feels like she’s losing it Bc weird things are happening to her that she can’t explain. She also feels like everyone at the bar is more than normal and she can’t get any of her questions answered from anyone.
Just when she’s about to get them answered from Crave the bars attacked and her life will never be the same again.
That’s all in going to say other than gogo read it Bc DAMN!!! One of my FAVORITE things about paranormal anything is the authors can make it up as they go and K. E and Kathleen did an amazing job making this book theirs and I’m SOOO excited to see what happens next.

This is the first in a new series, and these talented author’s have done an incredible job in weaving this addictive storyline. Crave is the ruthless leader of the Eternal Sins MC, a brotherhood of vampires, warlords, shifters, and more, while Sloane is a human, and walking into Crave’s bar changes everything. Sloane is a nurse who unknowingly walks into a life which is more dangerous than she could ever imagine. This is a well written action packed, easy to read story, with fated mates, danger, intrigue, paranormal bikers, and soulmates, which leads to an entertaining, twisted, and unpredictable addictive page tuner, I look forward to reading more from these talented authors’ whose work I highly recommend.
If there was an absurd amount of stars to give, this book would get every one available. I laughed, cried, grieved, stewed in anger, etc. If an emotion exists, I felt it while reading this beautiful representation of what goodness is. It’s a choice every single day to center urself in humanity and do good. We see this on a colossal scale with both the FMC and the MMC. I could and will read this story repeatedly for years to come. I’m betting every time will feel like the first time. Magical in the best ways!
This is the first book in the new series and I absolutely loved it. I love the storyline and All the different paranormal characters. Sloane and Crave worked well together, they had a lot of chemistry. Can’t wait for the next book in the series
A great story, but the narration was a struggle! I really liked the story! It was interesting, covered a few different genres, and included tropes I absolutely love. Supernatural/paranormal? Check. Motorcycle club? Check. Surprise bloodlines, prophecies, battles, and twists and turns galore? Absolutely!
But… I actually struggled with the narration. First, the positives... I loved the narrators’ voices themselves. Charlie L. Wood and James Davey both have great voices, but the tone just didn’t sit right with me. It felt quite flat a lot of the time, making it difficult to gauge the emotion in certain scenes. With a story like this, where there’s so much happening and so much at stake, I really wanted to feel more of that intensity through the narration. And then.... There was Chapter 17. When a character was introduced, they sounded like the voice of Voldemort, and once I heard it, I couldn’t get it out of my head! Every single time they appeared!
Putting the narration aside, I enjoyed Crave and Sloane’s story. An ancient vampire who’s spent centuries feeling nothing, a woman whose blood awakens something unexpected, and a supernatural MC made up of all sorts of creatures? Yes, please! There’s plenty of action, mystery, and world-building to keep things interesting, and I loved the mix of paranormal romance and MC elements.
And that epilogue! Now I’m eager for more. I need to know where this series is going next!
It’s a long(ish) one at over 12 hours, so it took me across 3 days during my commute, gardening, housework etc to finish it, and it’s well worth it.
I received this as an advance listener copy, and I’m glad I got the chance to experience the story early. Despite my issues with the narration, I’m invested enough in this world to want more.
This is book one in the Eternal Sins MC. Let me say that I did not even think that the authors could write a book two with all that took place in this book. This book is a full novel with deep world building. The first chapters give us the history of the Coven and the Originals. One of them is named Draven. We notice he is different, straight away, and that he wants more than just the destruction of power. Draven steps away from the Coven and an alpha wolf line shows him there is more to life as a supernatural. Draven becomes Craven, the MC President, that helps supernatural beings belong and function for good.
One day a beautiful human female walks into Crave’s clubhouse-bar and time stops for both of them. They don’t know why they are drawn to each other. They are in deep through their connection. Sloane tries to not go to the club, but that turns out to be useless. There is a bond growing between Crave and Sloane, but why? And why is their blood calling to them? There is a happy ending but mind your triggers for blood, violence, power struggles, destruction, etc. There is an epilogue that leads into the next book featuring Rogue and Charlotte. Read On!
Let me start by saying it definitely isn’t your normal MC book. I am looking forward to seeing how this series goes. These two ladies did an awesome job on this book. I wasn’t immediately obsessively hooked but my interest was there to see what was going to happen. You get vampires and other creatures that go bump in the night using an MC to hide and protect themselves. Then mix the humans in with them and of course it becomes even more complicated. You’ll definitely find that the book is very interesting and will love Crave & Sloane. I’m very interested in seeing the next book and how everything spins.
I don't usually read this genre but I love KE Osborn so I thought I would give it a try. I haven't read anything by Kathleen Kelly but after this book I will definitely look into her books as well. I absolutely loved Crave and Sloane. Crave is infatuated with Sloane from the moment she steps in Sins & Spirits but of course she is intrigued with him as well. There is a lot of emotion, action and of course steam in this book. I'm not going to say much but just to tell you you need to read this book. There is so much going on, deception, loyalty and love. I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it.
Wow!! A motorcycle club made up of supernatural beings. But this book has original and unique myths and legacies created by two fantastic authors. I really love this story full of spice, danger and very little angst between Crave and Sloan. They are destined to be together. The happily ever after ending was very satisfying. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.
I absolutely loved this hot story about a woman coming into her own superpower as a Blood Witch. Sloane is a nurse at a hospital but is drawn to a bar owner. They both feel a connection as soon as they meet. He says it's a bar for misfits who don't fit in anywhere else but she thinks otherwise. Fab start to a series about supernatural beings.
The story slowly builds as the ancient vampire finds the human woman so interesting. The story grows from there. I really enjoyed the vampire’s pack, ranging from a dragon to a leprechaun.
This started out alright, though it quickly turned into a story about all the characters and the battle than any type of romance. Told from both POV. There was a lot of repetition of inner monologue that outlined all the club members and their roles, which helped to remember them by name, but also got to be too much. There was so much potential but it just fell flat for me because I wanted more romance and spice without all the descriptors attached. Definitely not going to continue the series.
Loved this! Craven is one of the original vampires, his bond with Sloane from the very start was strong and then her transformation when he gave her his blood to save her life into a Blood Witch with that powerful lineage added a great twist.
The Coven of Crows storyline brought intense stakes, especially with Craven accused of breaking the laws when he’s clearly been set up. It’s fast-paced, emotional, and addictive.
I really can’t wait for Rogue and Charlotte’s story next.
**Edited to add audio review
I really enjoyed listening to Charlie L Wood and James Davey. Their voices brought Craven and Sloane to life for me and made the emotional moments and tension between them even more enjoyable.
This book definitely had the bones of a great story but was over explained every time the writer spoke about a character. Explain it once, then move on. I got so tired of reading the same thing every time a different character spoke. Half the book could have been cut out for more storyline.
It was very different from her other MC books. Too much monologue it goes on and on that I had to skip through it. Needs more dialogue. Probably won’t continue the series.
4.25stars-BLOODFIRE RISING is the first instalment in the adult ETERNAL SINS MC dark, paranormal, fantasy romance series focusing on a group of supernatural beings, many of whom are the first of their kinds, or the only survivors of a species long thought extinct. This is Eternal Sins MC president and original vampire Draven aka Crave, and Sloane Hale, RN’s story line.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Crave and Sloane) BLOODFIRE RISING follows registered nurse Sloane Hale as she slowly becomes something more. After a harrowing day in the ER, Sloane finds herself at a local bar, Sins and Spirits, where she suspects everyone is not whom they appear to be. Meeting Eternal Sins MC president Crave pulls our heroine towards a fate she knew nothing about,a fate that pushes Sloane Hale to face s stronghold of supernatural creatures, gods and goddesses, who see Sloane as the end of the world.
The world building centers on betrayal and vengeance; a war between the supernatural powers for control; and a betrayal by a former brother determined to destroy those who walked away. The glossary reveals the background information regarding the central characters, both good and bad.
The relationship between Sloane and Crave is one of fated mates but a relationship that will become so much more. Sloane is something other, something no one has seen in eons but something that has the power to destroy them all. Having fallen for our story line heroine, Crave is willing to sacrifice for the woman that controls his heart. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense.
There is a large ensemble cast of powerful, magical and supernatural secondary and supporting characters, many of whom are based in Greek Mythology. When Draven left the original Coven of Crows, he set up his own family of supernatural creatures. We are introduced to MC VP Rogue aka Lucien (Lycan), SAA Scorch aka Ash (Dragon), Enforcer Dread aka Damon (origins unknown, club Secretary Hex aka Jasper (Warlock), Treasurer Hades aka Kane (Necromancer), Spiritual guide Oracle aka Emerys (Phoenix), road captain Grizz aka Magnus (Bear Shifter), and prospect Ronan (Leprachaun); club girls Eden,Seraphine and Reyna.
BLOODFIRE RISING is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, magic and supernatural, brotherhood, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is action packed, dramatic and edgy but there is an overarching familiarity to the story line akin to the Twilight™ series, but directed at adults. The characters are powerful, determined and energetic; the romance is fated and seductive.
— spoilers ! — The battle scenes felt like the script for a fantasy battle game in a way I’m not used to even in paranormal or urban fantasy. A way that took me out of the moment. The main relationship happened, but as telling far more than any real showing. The plot pacing and tension kept me finishing the book. The suspense was engaging and held me in despite the Pokémon-esque battle cries and power names that felt like card or video game more anything else. The world building was pretty straightforward, but felt interesting. It was a lot more telling than showing. And the main character, Sloane, is the chosen one, but she still came into complete understanding and knowledge of this unseen world and power names and magical complications faster than I would like to even barely accept.
But I still finished the book. I don’t know if it’s my guilty pleasure of completely cliche cheesy romance plots and urban fantasy soulmate stuff (fated mates? gimme more). Or that the writing, with all my complaints, was still mostly enjoyable.
I have really freaking mixed feelings bc I enjoyed the book as much as I didn’t enjoy it and tolerated it. But here we are. A rambling review. A “I’ve read better urban fantasy motorcycle club romances by both authors”. A “I don’t think I liked it but I don’t think I disliked it quite yet either.”
The coven was really cool. Six crows imagery could have been used a lot more with old nursery rhyme stuff, but that’s my inner goth as much as thinking it would add more to the characters.
The story is what it is. The book is what it was written to be. Enjoyable. Mostly. I think.
My last main complaint is that this feels like an alternate version of KE Osborn’s other motorcycle club paranormal romance that she released in the last year or two. Her ice dragon x witch chosen one followed many of the same worldbuilding and book plot points. Like, even from the synopses the books are similar, but the motorcycle club characters and species and character roles feel just barely more than copy and paste.
As someone who’s written an AU of her own writing bc I love the characters or has rewritten an idea a second time— I GET IT. Which is why this is at the end. I’ve read both book ones. I enjoyed the dragon one more. But it’s another layer of mixed feelings that I think will take some true rumination and forgetting minutiae with time to settle on an opinion on this book that leans firmly one way or the other.
I cannot praise BLOODFIRE RISING, Eternal Sins MC #1, highly enough. The collaboration of KE Osborn and Kathleen Kelly is sublime. I have always enjoyed the individual books, together they are phenomenal. BLOODFIRE RISING is a paranormal, fated mates, supernatural bikers story which took me on a spine tingling, sizzling, tension filled ride.
Werewolves, vampires, shifters, warlocks, even a leprechaun, these are the members of the Eternal Sins MC. For centuries they have been a brotherhood, a family, led by Crave. Crave was once a member of the Coven of Crows, Original Vampires created from darkness and pure evil who, through their judgements maintained the balance between the supernatural and mortal worlds. He is in the club-owned bar when she walk in, Sloane Hale. Sloane is human and Crave is instantly attracted to her, there is something about her ... something different. Walking into the bar after a rough day at work changes everything for Sloane, she has no idea she has entered a world she knows nothing about, one which is dangerous.
The attraction is instant between Crave and Sloane, but it is their chemistry which is absolutely insane. Their relationship is filled with tension, and the pull to each other is all-consuming. It is the mystery of who or what Sloane is which make sit even more scintillating. As the danger around them grows, so too does the mystery of Sloan's lineage, and when it is unearthed all I could say was ... Wow!
BLOODFIRE RISING was an addictive reead from the moment I began reading the Glossary of Characters. I was intrigued and needed to know everything. Kim and Kathleen took me on a journey which was spellbinding, their vivid descriptions transporting me to the world they created, the bar scenes, the battle scene, the complete obliteration of a forest (IYKYK), I felt like I was in every situation. The pace was fast, the action was non-stop, and the emotions were realistic. BLOODFIRE RISING is only the beginning of this amazing series, next up is Guardian Falling, Rogue and Charlotte's story, and I cannot wait.
Dark, dangerous, and utterly addictive—Bloodfire Rising is the paranormal MC romance I didn’t know I was missing.
It’s been a long time since a paranormal romance has truly pulled me under its spell, so it had to be something special to hook me—and Bloodfire Rising (Eternal Sins MC Book 1) by K.E. Osborn and Kathleen Kelly did exactly that… and then some. From the very first chapter, I was completely captivated.
This is not your typical MC romance. The Eternal Sins MC isn’t just a brotherhood—it’s a centuries-old legacy made up of shifters, warlocks, vampires, and more. And honestly? That combination is irresistible. The world-building is rich, immersive, and layered with a dark edge that keeps you turning the pages.
At the heart of the story is Sloan, a human who unknowingly steps into a world far more dangerous—and seductive—than she could ever imagine. When she walks into the MC bar, she catches the attention of Crave, a vampire who knows he should stay away… but fate has other plans. And when fate decides to intervene, there’s no escaping it.
What follows is a story packed with: • Soul-deep connections • Found family vibes that hit you right in the heart • A slow-building but undeniable pull between Sloan and Crave • And an undercurrent of danger that promises chaos is coming
The chemistry between Sloan and Crave is intense, laced with tension, and completely consuming. You feel the push and pull, the inevitability of what they are to each other, even as the stakes rise around them.
And that danger? It’s only just beginning. There’s a darkness brewing in the background that adds a gripping edge to the romance and sets up what promises to be an unforgettable series.
If you love paranormal romance with a gritty MC twist, powerful supernatural elements, and fated mates that burn, then this book will have you hooked from start to finish.
This is just the beginning—and I am already all in.
