Amazing sequel loved it cannot wait for book three. This was more gritty than the first but still an amazing read. Go team Grey and Ashling ( )

Bloodrealms by Aurora Whittet is the second book in the Bloodmark saga following the story of werewolf princess Ashling Boru. Ashling has just turned eighteen and is a year closer to having to fulfill her prophecy of marrying a man she doesn't love and uniting two wolfpacks. Ashling has other suitors as well and her father has said that they will all fight in the bloodrealms, an ancient underground fighting world for her hand in marriage. Ashling may be in love with another but what happens in the bloodrealms will change her destiny and the destiny of all werewolves.

Bloodrealms is a book that moves along at a brisk pace and has a little something that all readers can enjoy. Romance, action and interesting plot twists are all here in this story which manages to out do the first installment in the series. This book builds on what happened in the first book and is a good read if you like romance and mythology. ( )

Things start to happen during their visit at Castle Regan. Someone attacks Ashing in her sleep. This goes a bit awry during that time. Lord Baychen invites the Killen to the wedding. What is Grey doing during their time part?

There are adventures on every page. Why are all evils trying to stop Grey and Ashling? Once they get stuck inside the Bloodrealms. Will they get out or will they end up dying there? Ashling and Grey seem to get separated. Who will win Ashling’s hand in marriage? What about her pack. Will they all want her to find the love to reunite the packs?

We find out Vidagis and Verci daughter and how she related to the Boru or at least to Ashling Boru. We really do find out the worst horrors that can be found in the bloodrealms.

Aurora Whittet has really outdone herself again in this second book. We find out what Bloodrealms is all about and all it horrors. Can Ashling and Grey and her pack survive the attacks. There even a revel about Emmons Davmar and what he is will to do. ( )

The story continues with book two. Thus to fully enjoy this book, you should start with book one, Bloodmark. Ashling and Grey's relationship has grown stronger in this book. Thus it would not have mattered how many other suitors that Ashling's father had in mind for her as none of them is Ashling's true soul mate then Grey. I love that they can feel each other's pain. Although, I must say that this book is darker then the first. There is more violence. Which I was introduced to the evil, bad guys. Even as a captive, Ashling did fight. Once, again I could not stop reading this book and actually finishing it in one day. I am committed to this series as well as the characters. There were more appearances by the werewolves as well. In addition, to a twist or two. I can't wait to read book three. ( )
