Wicked Blood by Margot de Klerk






Synopsis:


Cynthia has never met her father. She only knows one thing about him: he’s a dangerous mage with a track record of killing shapeshifters like her.

Finished with school and struggling to figure out what to do next, Cynthia boards a plane to Berlin following a mysterious postcard from her father. She hopes to find him and finally solve the mystery of her origins. But then Nathan, her vampire hunter ex-boyfriend, asks for a favour. Look up the hunters in Berlin and find out why there’s been radio silence from the supernatural community of Berlin for the last eight months.

What should have been a simple request leads to unimaginable danger.

The more Cynthia digs into the whereabouts of Berlin’s supernatural community, the more she uncovers secrets that threaten her life. Something is going down in Berlin, but who is behind it? She finds herself torn in two directions: should she be loyal to her people, the shapeshifters? Or should she follow her heart? Which choice will keep her safe, when everyone seems to be out for her blood?

It’s a dangerous time to be in Berlin… and the answers to Cynthia’s questions might just strike closer to home than she realises.


Review:


I liked this book so much, it's well done, the characters old and new are well thought and mysterious, that for a bunch of supernatural characters is a good feature, the pace is less gripping than the first story.

Wicked Blood start a little slow while we follow our heorine Cynthia during her vacation in Berlin, but it picks up halfway through. She is the shapeshifter we met in the first book in the series, while she is looking for her elusive father in the city she corss path with some surreptitious, wicked characters, and she puts herself in danger. Will she survive?

Cynthia just graduated high school, she is pretty naive and not mature enough, she thinks she doesn't need any help until is almost too late. She came out as a stabborn brat most of the time, but I think she is a good character that shows the flaws of her age so I grew attached to her and I'm glad she got her own story and I could know her more.

This novel ends with a big hint for a future story, I'm already anticipating it.
