Today's Review: The Bloody and the Dammed

Releasing tomorrow April 7th

5 stars

Loved this book and with get my hands on a copy soon, hopefully my local bookstore will have signed copies, fingers crossed). The author creates such an amazing world and powers, although she is a brutal assassin, she has a lot to lose and we never feel she's safe. Some aspects are predictable like betrayals but it's just part of the world kicking our main character down when she's already low and weak (but not that weak). She is a lost saint, a girl who awakened powers, making her very useful to those living above in the clouds among dirigibles, but she has two very young sisters to keep safe. No one takes control of her, and now they've taken her sisters. She will have to trust the untrustworthy to get them back. The chapter of revealing what the prophets are and who that one specifically was made me gasp. From then on, it's like a very coo rpg game I would love to play.

An assassin with outlawed, magical abilities will do anything to get their kidnapped sisters back in this dystopic-fantasy standalone, perfect for fans of Arcane and Iron Widow.

Mercy has no place here.

On Trinity, where the privileged live in the skies and the rest fight for water below, you do what you can to survive.

18-year-old Val knows this better than anyone. They’ve sacrificed everything to provide for their younger sisters. Using their outlawed teleportation powers, they've become the most infamous assassin-for-hire on Trinity, known as the Butcher.

No one should be able to trace the Butcher to Val. But when a gang retaliates by kidnapping Val's sisters and killing Dani, Val's only friend, it means that someone has to know the truth.

Desperate and completely alone, Val has no one to turn to but their ex-best friend turned vigilante thief, Orion. He broke their heart, but he owes them.

But as Val fights for the return of their sisters, they start to realize there might be something much bigger at play... something that could upend everything they’ve ever known about Trinity.

Val’s journey will take them from a maximum security prison transport to the headquarters of the most powerful gang on Trinity, and all the way to the Gate of Heaven. Each more heavily guarded than the last.

Good thing the Butcher has never blinked at an extra casualty.
