Hey, book buddies :-) Are you crying over a summer gone or are you eager for all the new books coming our way? I think I'm both!
Today I'd like to share one of the latest books I've read. It's the second book in the Ryze series, a paranormal dark romance like you've never seen before.
Blood Stained Tranquility
Series: Ryze #2
Author: N. Isabelle Blanco
Genre: Paranormal Romance/Erotica
Evesse
Five weeks ago, my best friend was abducted. A sacrifice for the God of Lust.
It wasn’t the beginning of her end . . . it turned out to be the beginning of mine.
I’ve been brought back from the dead.
Only to be condemned to die once more.
I’ve awakened to find myself mated to Zeniel, the God of Tranquility. But, no. That isn’t who he is anymore.
I’m so vile that simply meeting me tore out the most primal, dark force inside him.
He’s a demon.
A mythical monster.
An indiscriminate killer.
He’s made to destroy the entire fucking world . . . and I’d give anything to have him.
Zeniel
Within the red and black shadows of doom, all I see are my victims. The sinners I need to destroy.
And her.
Always her.
I want to despise her for what her past did to me. A single look into her eyes and the creature trapped inside me broke free.
You see, I’m a fucking sham. A pretender. I wasn’t born as Zeniel, God of Tranquility.
I was born as Mavrak, the war demon God of Vengeance.
He killed millions across the dimensions once.
To avenge and protect her, he’ll destroy millions once again.
For her, I’ll let my powers of Tranquility die in a maelstrom of blood . . .
Even if it means killing everyone else that I love.

MY OPINION
Terrible Gods, cosmic forces and relentless, consuming passion align in this second book in a series that devours the reader's mind.
The writing is as complex and rich as the relationships between the Gods and the universal energies at play. Sometimes is a bit convoluted, tending to be obscure or obsessive about the same predicament. On the other hand, it reflects really well the characters' inner struggle, the power of their suffering, and the stormy inevitability of their desires.
The main female character, Evesse, has to deal with the monstrous aftermath of the traumatizing final event in the previous book, where she was the friend of the main character there. Even though she and her mated, frenzied dual God of Tranquility aka the God of Vengeance lead the story, there are other characters whose torment and lovers in the making are equally strong and appealing.
Animalistic, violent lust rages through the pages. And it's awesome! :-D Though there is a lot going on among the gods. They banter, they reminisce past wrongs and future fears, they flaunt their dark beauty. Brutal in their natures, they battle their vicious side with ferocious displays of power. On the down side, the plot doesn't seem to have a specific purpose most of the time. It's just a bunch of things happening to a bunch of old and new friends who happen to be Gods. On the bright side, it's wildly imaginative as complex immortals fight, evolve, materialize, love, hate and suffer in a haze of fate and lust. I particularly liked how Eve and Zen have to deal with the most frightening side of themselves in order to be together. Their fierce lovemaking was epic in all ways :-D
Exotic Gods, painfully tested mating bonds, monstrous beasts, apocalyptic war and slyly orchestrated plans by a seeress mingle breathlessly in this paranormal dark romance. It's a pity the ending comes so abruptly, but there's always hope for the third book.
N. Isabelle Blanco is the Amazon Bestselling Author of the
Allure Series, the Need Series with K.I. Lynn, and many others. At the age of
three, due to an odd fascination with studying her mother’s handwriting, she
began to read and write. By the time she’d reached kindergarten, she had an
extensive vocabulary and her obsession with words began to bleed into every
aspect of her life.
That is, until coffee came a long and took over everything
else.
Nowadays, N. spends most of her days surviving the crazy New
York rush and arguing with her characters every ten minutes or so, all in the
hopes of one day getting them under control.
