Holy.Snappin.Crab.Claws. That book was in-tense! I have finished, which means I can finally take a breath and re-oxygenate my body, and put my kindle down and re-circulate my blood to my fingers...What a road trip huh!If you thought Blood Warrior (Book 1) was good. Think again. I thought it was THE awesomesauce until I read this. I recommended it to my friends, in the hope we could talk about just how spectacular it was. I didn't think it was possible, but this one takes the cake, It's even better. I know you don't believe me do you? You better believe it baby.Lexie & Nelly captivated me the whole way through. I loved that it was told by both povs and that just made it more enriching. The emotion just poured off the pages to the extent that it left me clinging to the side of chair with goosebumps.I adored getting to know Nelly a bit more and seeing how her mind works as well as her `gift'. I had a giggle at Nelly putting on her big girl pants and doing some investigating even knowing she knew she wouldn't like what she found. I found her `powers' amazing and loved watching her practice them even when they caused her to sweat bullets. She is tough in her own way and I was so pleased that she discovered that in the end. I enjoyed the banter between Alexa and her monster as well as all of her internal dialogue and her honesty with Kayden. I don't know where to start with how I feel about him, but even though he didn't say a lot, his presence was huge in this book. He made a difference for Alexa and I loved seeing her allow the softer side of herself to show for him.There was a few twists thrown in the mix. Some surprised me and some didn't, but they all delighted me. They are all going to shape what happens next. I am very much excited and anxious to know what book 3 holds. I know 2 things - 1) It will be sensational and 2) the lives of those in Two Rivers will change alongside Alexa and Nelly. I only hope that Lexie is hurrying back (and that we get to share a few more moments with Lexie & Kayden!You know when you see a movie or start a book and you know its going to be epically huge? This is how I felt reading every page of both of these books...
