Blood and Curse

by Ainsley Shay

The Creator of all immortals has left his lair. His reason for paying a visit to Veil Rock is just... the need to know if Everly Shade is indeed the one creation that was never meant to be born. Knowing that she could ruin everything he has ever created, he must see to it that she is dealt with before the Hunter’s Moon. Everly can no more prepare for the warlock’s arrival than if she was going to Hell itself. Still in possession of the grimoire, she searches through powerful spells she hopes will keep her alive long enough to save the ones she loves. As her power to wield magic intensifies, she can no longer hide in the shadows. When the White Ones come for her, the only protection from their mental assaults is her own power. They don’t fight fair, the fight for what’s theirs. But, Everly belongs to no one. Through her growing strength, Everly refuses to let murder, blood lust, or ancient magic keep her from what’s rightfully hers, the freedom to live.

About the author

Ainsley Shay avoids insanity by living mostly in the fiction world. She believes surrounding herself with positive people, and strives for balance in everything. She owns more jeans with rips and holes than without; and has recently found the magic of patches. For her, reading or writing the perfect sentence is better than the smoothest piece of dark chocolate melting in her mouth. She is a deltiologist for pure enjoyment, not for the study of. She longs to move north one day, even though she hates the cold. (Go figure!) So, for now, she continues to live in warm south Florida with her incredible husband, three beautiful daughters, and two lazy cats. (We won’t mention the dog.)

Blood and Curse. ( The immortal trials book 4 )

I have been waiting for this book to be released. I was desperate to find out what happens to Everly.

This book didn't disappoint at all. I read it within a day. Once you get going it's just one of those you can't place down.

So glad there is another instalment coming in April. I have already pre-ordered.! Very impatiently awaiting that one, again i can't wait to find out what happens.

Highly recommend the series.

No words can do this series justice, I love every word I read.
Everly's story continuous in this installment. There is so much action going on
and so well written, it felt that I was there in the middle of all the action.
I was sucked in the pages and want more. I cannot wait for the nest installment.
This is definitely a one click series. Go get it if you do not have it yet.

Very enjoyable great reading this series

This series is great. I can't wait to see what will happen next for her and the outcome of what is at stake. Is Zicarius dead?

Wow, things are certainly hotting up for Everly

There was so much happening in this penultimate book that my head was left spinning. The pacing was perfect, holding me riveted from start to finish and I found myself finishing the story before I realised I'd got to the end.

Everly finally seems to be making headway in her struggles with both the immortals and The White Ones. There are so many immortals in this story that it can be difficult to keep track of who is who. Thankfully the author drops gentle reminders into the story to aid with this.

The story flowed really well, the writing is engaging and the characters inspire genuine emotion, both positive and negative. I love how we can never be quite sure of who to trust and sorting truth from lies and subterfuge has my mind imagining all sorts of ways the story may progress.

I'm jumping straight into reading the final book right now. I can't wait to find out how the amazing adventure draws to a conclusion. Not to mention finding answers to all those questions still flying around my brain!

Fair warning, this book ends on a cliff hanger and it’s a doozy. Just when I thought I was getting a handle on what was going on around Everly, the author threw a couple of monkey wrenches at my pet theories and they all fell apart. I feel a little like I’m starting all over again. I can safely say I have no idea how this is going to turn out, how Everly will save the people she cares about, and how she will be able to escape being a sacrifice.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.
