What's Up, Readers!!

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.

BLURB

"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.

A Critical Lens on 'Hunting Adeline' by H.D. Carlton: Exploring the Disturbing Themes | A Review

I kept delaying writing the review because I had to remember it and didn't want to do that. This 2nd book of Cat and Mouse duet is the story of a human trafficking survivor. This book is a huge TRIGGER WARNING . Kindly proceed with caution. I even got traumatized after reading it. So to explain the synopsis; Adeline (the main character) got kidnapped at the end of the first book and sold to some people who groomed her for some very rich and powerful clients. Almost half of the book is based on Adeline surviving the worst situations possible for a woman. Adeline had one advantage someone was fervently searching for her, and eventually, Zade managed to rescue her after four agonizing months. The scene when Zade finds her and she just could not believe it. She crumbled to her knees thinking she was hallucinating. After Zade brings her home she struggles so hard to process her trauma. She learns to fight to take control of her life. She gets close to her mother. She hates h...

Plated Prisoner Series | A series review (Spoiler Alert!!!)

Have you ever stumbled upon a series that not only captures your imagination but also challenges the norms of classic narratives? Recently, I had the privilege of delving into the spellbinding world of the Plated Prisoner series, written by Raven Kennedy. If you haven't yet experienced this literary masterpiece, be prepared for a rollercoaster ride of intrigue, deception, and personal growth. Embark with me on a journey through the twists and turns of these books, where the conventional story of King Midas and his golden touch takes an unexpected and captivating turn. A Twist on a Classic Tale The foundation of the Plated Prisoner series rests upon the iconic figure of King Midas and his fabled golden touch. However, Kennedy masterfully introduces a twist; King Midas, rather than possessing the golden touch, is revealed to be a fraud, capitalizing on the real power held by this beautiful character Auren. Auren, with her genuine golden touch, becomes the linchpin of the plot as ...

'The Never King' by Nikki St. Crowe | A Review

"The Never King" by Nikki St. Crowe is an incredibly absurd book. I mean, while reading it, I found myself perplexed, cringing, and wondering what on earth I was actually reading. These rollercoaster emotions I experienced throughout the book. The story revolves around Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, with Winnie, a member of the Darling family line, whose mother is clearly mentally unstable. Her mother's bizarre and neglectful behavior towards her is maddening. When Winnie turns 18, her mother's insanity escalates as she believes Peter Pan is coming to kidnap Winnie, and indeed, he does just that. He takes her to Neverland, where he inexplicably chains her to a bed and watches over her while she's unconscious. The frequent mention of Winnie being different from other Darlings without a clear explanation becomes rather tiresome. Meanwhile, Peter's shadow is lost, causing Neverland to wither slowly. So his main goal is to find his shadow and secure his power o...

War is coming and I don't know which war and with whom. the Prince brothers confront their sister and find out some new secrets of hers and how she is the manipulative one.
