"Astasiya Davenport's best friend is dead. No, not just dead--murdered. Burned alive. Decapitated."

This is the lead line.
Read it again.
Let me help you out.
Best friend is dead (that's sad..)
Murdered. oh no..
Burned alive (ouch)
ok those two go together if albeit a bit messy.
Now for item three. Decapitated.
STOP.

Let's recap...
You can be murdered by being burned alive.
You can be murdered by decapitation. (this is very final)
But you cannot murdered by decapitation and be burned alive (crispy results) or vice versa.
(to be fair you could be burned and then decapitated but that's not what they indicate)

Apologies to Astasiya* Davenport and her less than alive best friend but they need a better editor, or possibly a murderous advisor.

*how does one pronounce that?! /Ahs-taszh-sya/?

I love Lexi Foss's books and Blood Laws blew my mind. A young woman who has lost so much , not knowing why, a job that isn't what it seems, and a violent death to a friend. To top that off a strange man saves her from being found by 2 men coming out of her friends apartment. How did he do it, what is he, what does he want from her, and how can have she have any kind of feelings for him? This is an amazing 1st book to a start of a series, that has everything from demons of different names, sick twisted leaders and their followers, a sexy demon who wants something, who has a group of friends who are like family, friends who are enemies, enemies that are friends. The feelings and emotions are everywhere in the book, but those give an amazing feeling to the book. I love the books that have main characters that have depth to them, other ones that can either give you the creeps , hate them , or fall in love with them. Lexi Foss does that, she writes books that gives different feelings, emotions and wonderful characters that say those feelings with the reader. This is a must read series, but not for the faint of heart. If you are I recommend to skip a few parts (just remember that those parts give you some of the reason the way some characters are the way they are) the rest of the book is worth it . ( )

Wow!!
I adored this so so much, it was just such an imaginative and fascinating beginning to this series and one that I am most definitely on board and invested with all the way.
This author whilst relatively new to me has managed to pull it out the bag once again, this is the third book I have read by her and each one has managed to captivate and entrall from start to finish.
Definitely auto-buy for me now and I can't wait to see what she manages to bring forth next.
So, as usual, the world building here was up there with the best I've experienced to date and as an added incentive here the writing manages to drip-feed you into this fantastical world without confusing or totally overwhelming: very impressive undertaking indeed as the world is so vastly immense and intricate.
Each instalment in this series focuses on one couple, but there is an ongoing story arc that makes this a series that you will need to read in order if that makes sense.
This is actually a really hard premise to describe briefly but the short version to this is there are two opposing factions of supernaturals the Ichorians and the Hydraians who though currently at a ceasefire and a tentative declaration of a truce are actually on the brink of war breaking out.
Anastasiya Davenport and Issac Wakefield are somehow caught up in the middle of this conflict.
Obviously, there is a lot more to this than what Ive outlined here but that's the bare bones of it.
So characters: I adored the relationship dynamic between Anastasiya and Issac and the almost slow burn build up to there affair.
Though of slow burn in nature, this didn't miss out at all from that fact as there was plenty of sensual heated buildup provided to the main event.
The connection between these two was off the charts and projected off the page itself with its compelling intensity and I could feel their particular bond right down to my very bones themselves.
I also really did like Issac as a character and all his darlings and loves towards Anastasiya I found to be so incredibly charming indeed.
I especially appreciated Issac's ability to allow Aya to be her own person and make her own decisions regardless of how they impacted on his personal fear for her safety.
He respected her right to make her own choices which was refreshing.
Anastasiya I also liked but she could be a trifle naive in nature trusting a tad to blindly, she did get there eventually but always seemed to take the scenic route along the way.
In conclusion, this was a series that started with a massive bang and though we get some closure offered here there are still plenty of answers I'm waiting on to be revealed at a later date.
I for one can't wait to delve and explore deeper into this fascinating landscape we have been shown here.
This one gets my five-star seal of approval it was a fantastic experience that I recommend highly.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of "Blood Laws (Immortal Curse #1)".
All opinions expressed here are entirely my own.
