Amanda Murray's Reviews > Blood and War

I was lucky to read this as an eARC! Big thanks to the author Belle Walker for letting me read it early.

The book has an intriguing storyline surrounding a war between demons and angels as they fight for control over humanity & what’s left of Earth. Deceptions and questions arise as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are sent to kill a human for the sake of balance between realms. Kellan starts out as a heartless Horsemen but all that changes once he meets our feisty heroine Demitria. I love a FMC who’s not afraid to spill a little blood. When Kellan saves Demitria instead of killing her as he was sent to do, it sets a series of events in motion that pairs the two together as they search for answers.

It was a nice change of pace for the typically fae saturated fantasy genre. It’s a slow burn for most of the book and then really ramps up towards the end. However, I feel like some important details were left out or not explained throughly. Like the chemistry between Demitria and her bestie Jace, and whether there were/are feelings between them.

It does end of a major cliffhanger. Overall I can’t wait to see the finished product and see what comes next!
