Blood Court #3
King Of Blood
Whatever the sacrifice, I will protect my Fated Mate!
Even if it means killing the men I once loved!
I would always come home. That is something I vowed to myself as soon as I was old enough to take up the yoke of ruling the Blood Court. Whether it was as a hero, or carried home on a shield, I would always come home. It was where I was born. It was the place I’d devoted myself to and sworn to defend. It was my birthright, my legacy!
Now home meant even more. It meant her, my Fated Mate. And nothing was going to stop me from bringing her there. Not the men I had once trusted above anyone else. The men now standing in my way!
Whatever the sacrifice, I would protect my Fated Mate!

I'm really enjoying this series, despite the cliffhanger endings with which this author loves to torture her readers. Filled with virtually non-stop action and uncertainty, it's tough to put these books down. The relationship building between Kip and Stryder is pretty intense, making me wonder how anyone could fail to recognize the significance. The Summer Queen is horribly evil, and predictably indestructible. It's hard to understand why anyone would hesitate to kill a character like that, other than the need to prolong her reign of terror. I'm not complaining. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.
Kip and Stryder have still not consummated their status as fated mates. I thought that might happen toward the end, but when it got close and still hadn't happened, I began to suspect why. The Cliffhanger Queen was about to strike again! Prepare yourself. Stryder f@cks up in a big way. At least he realizes it. Hopefully, he can fix things.

• This series keeps getting better as we go on! Every book so far has left on a cliffhanger so that’s what encourages me to continue reading on! That and every book is only about 120-150 pages so you are able to fly through these books so fast!
• Things FINALLY got fire 🔥 steamy 🔥 between the two main characters so progress 👏🏽. The story of the war in the Fae world is continuing on as well and getting crazier by the book! I felt like this book had the most action/magic so far! It’s been super entertaining. I also feel like the character development with the MFC is crazy! She’s like a completely different person now than from book one, which is for the best 👍🏽. Also towards the end of this book things got juicy 👀 so I’m anxious to see what happens next!

The way these end on a cliffhanger kills me but also its not like I can stop now. I'm hooked. On to the next book.

Holy cliffhanger...Ava Mason has once again dragged me in a story from page one and then left me hanging with a cliffhanger that has me yelling for the next book! Stryker needs a slap in this book and needs to start learning to share! The relationships develop further in this book but I still want more. I cannot wait to read book four and see what happen now the Summer Queen has decided to come and play!

King of Blood is true to it's name. The battle starts off immediately as Kip, Harley, Roane, and Stryder try to make it back to the Blood Court. After many obstacles, they finally make it safe.... that is until something unexpected happens and Kip is pulled into a portal. The Queen of Summer decides now is the perfect time to come out and play. But none of that even comes close to the mind blowing plot twist at the end! A must read!

Prophecies, war, betrayals, and romance !
Kip finds out how she is meant to change and influence these lands, Stryder is betrayed by someone he thought was loyal, wizards that think they are in charge, and heat building between Kip and Stryder mounts higher ! This book is full of power, magic, good versus evil, all the foundations of great storylines !! Love it ! Continuing on to the next book in haste !!!

Ava pulls you in and makes you fall in love with the characters. I couldn’t put the book down and hate that I have to wait for King of Bones. This is the 3rd book in the Blood court series. Stryder and Kip are getting closer when Kip finds out something Stryder is hiding from her. Will their relationship survive or will the queen destroy them?
I received an ARC of this book.

Love this series. Another cliffhanger. 🙁
Love they way this book has built up the characters and told a good story. Kind of knew who the other girl must be. Mad he didn’t tell her before everything happened. Kind of want her to tell him goodbye and go back home. Wouldn’t be a good ending to a love story though Can’t wait for the next book

Oh Stryder
Of course this one has also ended as a cliffhanger...Headway has been made in the war against the summer queen but in the end of this edition it is Stryder himself that undoes the beautiful trust & love shared by he and Kip. Although I love a good romance I hate angsty live triangles, so I'm hoping October 15th gets here soon because I have to know how this ends!!

Another great book in the series! Love Kip and Stryder. Lots of action and of course since its Ava there is a cliffhanger that leaves you craving the next book. These characters are fantastic and the world building is wonderful. Of course if I was Kip I would be steaming at the end! Loved it!! I am voluntarily reviewing an arc.

This the third book in series was a really good one except somebody needs to smack Stryker up side the head! Lol fights right along side of him and even fights the nasty Queen herself to save a Fae princess...he loves her but has a hard time telling everything he should and you should know I come to expect "a cliffhanger" ! But don't let that stop you...its good!

King of Blood
Argh! That's how I feel with the ending of book 3. Like WTF! I knew there was one more thing going on and I had a feeling but I hoped Stryder had told Kip everything... nope. Now it's chaos.

Wow
As if Stryder and Kip haven't been through hell already. The Summer Queen invades the castle and Kip gets sucked into another world where she finds the missing Liadan. The queen is defeated and taken prisoner. But more is afoot. Getting more and more exciting. TBC.

Really
Stryder really disappointed me in this book by keeping so much information from Kip. I am ready for everything to be resolved and the fated mates to be together.

Holy Cliffhanger😱🤯🤣
****Warning Spoilers Below****
Wow just wow! So we finally get a peak at the psychopath Summer Queen.🙄😐she attempts to storm Stryder’s castle, but Kip show up to her surprise and not only saves her useless life, she then kicks 🦵🏼 her ass in a sword ⚔️ fight and grabs a very important amulet from her.
Kip is so badass I don’t know what everyone would do without her honestly.💁🏻♀️but hey then Stryder has to go and mess things up between them by withholding some pretty vital information, and if that’s not bad enough, miss summer queen bitch escapes with her little dungeon buddy Lorcan.
Looks to me like there are quite a few traitors from within Stryder’s court hmm…🤔 gee I wonder who?! (*cough* wizards *cough*) I’m still on pins and needles to find out what Kip’s origination is! Onto the 4th book in the series now, King of Bones!
“You defied us, King. Your father trusted our kind above anything else. He raised you to do the same. It is our purpose to read the prophecies and guide you to ensure you are making the decisions that are right for the Blood Court and for the rest of the Land of Sidhe. I demand an explanation.”
“I am below no one,” I said, forcing my voice to stay even. “My father trusted your kind, yes. Trust is one thing, but blind obedience is another. He raised me to be a good king for my people and that can’t be done if I allow someone else to force my hand. I am not your puppet. You are my advisors, not the other way around. It is not your place to demand anything of me.”
“You can’t expect us to just stand by and allow you to put us all in more danger than we already are. The Summer Queen has enough power as it is.
“Bringing this woman here is only offering her more.” “Bringing Kip here could be the salvation we’ve been looking for,” I told them.
“If you find your task too difficult to do, then I would be happy to assist you with it.” The angriest of the Wizards, the one Stryder called Greyfeld, stepped ahead of the crowd. “I suggest you don’t go any further,” Stryder warned him, the words rumbling low in his throat. “And don’t say anything further that you wouldn’t be willing to defend with your life.”
“This isn’t over, King. You won’t use your position to destroy the land and all those who have trusted you. This wasn’t your decision to make. If you won’t do the right thing, it will be done by someone more courageous. Mark my words.”

Well written for teens/ twenties but cliffhanger
The story is entertaining although parts are a little slow. Almost no print errors which is great. Main character is 21. Big complaint is the books are all huge cliffhangers. Yes it’s a series but leaving the reader hanging at every pivotal point is frustrating. I doubt that I’ll read any future series by this author because of it.

I'm sorry... Reading all the good reviews made me look twice, if I read the same book. It was super cringe, storytelling was... I don't know... Just not good. It felt like the author had many ideas included during her writing and incorporated it right away. A crafted heart of a land that is older than the heart? What? Why? Wanted to like it, but I was near DNFing it for several times, and it's such a short book...

This is been an amazing series so far, the cliffhanger ends just makes me want more.

Wow finally what has been missing and what a plot twist!! The only thing that sucks is that it left me on a cliff hanger! I need more starting the next book now!!
January 17, 2025
If you want a slow burn … this book is definitely it. I’m on book 3 and these two act very innocent compared to ACOTAR or 4th wing haha.
December 18, 2019
Bring on the next one!!!

Great read. I Love Ava Mason she writes so great.
September 13, 2019
I received an ARC copy of this book. Book 3 has been my favorite so far. Things between Kip and Stryder have gotten a bit more steamy, but there's a twist. Can they overcome New obstacles? I cannot wait to read the next installment and find out. Especially since, you know, Ava Mason enjoys killing her readers with cliffhangers.
