Welcome to Quills and Pages and today I will be reviewing Divine Infection Book 1 in the Bloodborne Melodies Series written by Nova B. Quinn. I am very honored that I was chosen to read the advanced reader copy of the book. So, let's start the review.
"Do you trust me?"
Danica Gray thought she had met the love of her life, until she caught him doing something unforgivable. Left without answers for two years after his disappearance, she was left heartbroken and numb. Then, he reappears, very much alive. But things are not as they seem. Something’s different about him. Something dark and twisted. As their reunion unfolds, ominous events begin to occur. Fortunately, the lead singer of a metal band she met only hours earlier steps in to save the day. Secrets run deep, and only the surface has been scratched. We are led down a path of sex, blood, and rock ‘n’ roll, culminating in a bloody encore. Enjoy the show! Mind your step around the body parts and blood before exiting the concert.

MY REVIEW
First of all, thank you to Nova B. Quinn for providing me with the arc copy. I was very intrigued by the love triangle aspect. I started reading the book. It was a great start and then it got a bit slow and then it got better towards the end.....it got feral towards the end 😅
The story starts with Danica and Oliver. An accident happened, and Oliver disappeared. It's been three years, and Danica is in depression and barely living. No is basically walking dead because of Oliver's sudden disappearance. She goes to a rock concert and meets a handsome rockstar, Chris, and BAM!!!! There is a fatal attraction between them. She denies it, and he pursues her. It was a very hot tug-of-war.
There are supernatural elements involved and things get dangerous as we proceed in the story. Although Oli was a major part of Danica's past, he doesn't appear in most of the book. There is a love triangle but this first book was actually setting up the base for Danica and Chris.
As I said earlier the book got slow in the middle because there were just Danica and Chris and Danica kept trying to refuse him was very frustrating. I got annoyed with her on one or 2 occasions but as soon as they move forward from that stage things get more dangerous and interesting. There are ruthless vampire gods, ancient prophecies, sinister elements, and some very weird situations and in the midst of all this, there is this trio; Danica, Chris, and Oliver.
On the whole, the book is a 5-star read. On some occasions, it literally gave off the vampire diaries vibe.....argh......I want to watch TVD again after reading this. But I don't have time as I have to read a lot. So, here I am ranting to get it off my mind. I hope you like the review. I highly recommend this book. Go read it. links are given below.
