Bloodguard

Would absolutely recommend to anyone who loves dark fantasy and a bit of romance. I'm saying dark fantasy due to the amount of violence and gore throughout the book. Robson provides eloquently written descriptions of the harsh and dangerous world of a becoming a Bloodguard. There was a great balance of action and romance- not too cheesy as to take away from the story itself, but a relationship that has you reading for more.

I would be sure to read the "warning" page, that describes the intensity of this book- be prepared for intense imagery but also to love it!!

This was terrible 
I was willing to give it at least two stars because I really don't like giving bad rating in people's artistic endeavours, I was willing to look for something redeeming to have something nice to say, until not only was Leith's family killed, but they'd been dead the whole time and instead of just uncovering it it had to done through a child's letters to her brother. trying to add a dramatic moment by way of tragedy is one thing, doing it in an excessively visceral way is just uncalled for imo.
