Synopsis
From Bonnie Erina Wheeler, the author who brought you Fate Fixed, comes the second installment in the Erris Coven Series, Blood Twist.
Find out what happens to the Erris Coven when Lexie's BFF Liz comes to town.
Braden Murphy knew he was going to die. There was a twist to his family secret – one that was forced upon him from the time he was a child. For years he envisioned his final days and tried to be strong enough to leave his family. Now that it was time, he was ready to make good on a deadly promise. Except for one unexpected glitch, a raven haired beauty insisted on joining him.
Liz Sanders thought her best friend’s stepfamily was weird, but she never would have guessed they were werewolves. Now Liz must travel with a secretive half-vampire in search of a lycanthropy cure. Landing in a nest full of blood thirsty vampires wasn’t on the agenda, but neither was falling in love.
Braden is tempting, but Liz’s feelings for him are complicated. She wishes he would open up about his past and give her a reason to trust him.
Just when Liz thinks she can let her guard down, she’s forced to confront the evil that has been stalking Braden’s past for years. Death is here and ready to destroy everything they've fought to save.

Opening Teaser
When she arrived on Lexie’s doorstep, Liz expected a warm welcome from her best friend. But when she entered the house, she only heard a mournful wail coming from deep within the basement. Instantly, she was alarmed. Her mind went through a list of possible scenarios before assuming Maxim hogtied his family for laughing at his unibrow or something else perturbing.
When she worked her way down the creaking steps, Liz found Ruby buck naked and shaking violently next to the crumpled form of her new husband, Dragos. Ruby tried using her old flannel nightgown to stop the bleeding from her husband’s lethal wounds – but it was hopeless. The man was clearly dead.
Review
I received Blood Twist in return for a honest review as
part of the tour hosted by SupaGurl Book Tours Blood Twists starts right after the
end of Fate Fixed. When Lexie moved to
Maine she left her best friend Liz behind but was able to send a cryptic email
before her internet was taken away from her as punishment. Liz knew she couldn’t
live without her best friend and knew her best friend needed her, with a little
push she was able to talk her aunt Bev into letting her drive up to Maine to
check on her which she ended to bring her back and if she wouldn’t come she
would stay with her. However she
expected a warm welcome when she arrived at Lexie’s home not to find her mother
in the basement covered in blood with two slain werewolves or that Lexie had
survived being almost killed by her crazy stepbrother who also was a werewolf.
Thankfully Lexie was saved by her dream guy and now fated soulmate.
After everything that happened Ruby hasn’t recovered from
being sick, which they learn after moving everyone to the coven’s homes that
her body is fighting Lycanthropy which she got from her now dead husband. Ella
isn’t thrilled with the fact that the youngest of her step brothers Nick has
run off with whom she’s grown close to. However her problems are the least of
everyone’s worry as Ruby continues to grow worse as they search for a cure.
When Braden the oldest of the cousin’s claims he knows where to find the cure
Liz demands to go with him intent on not letting anything happen to Ruby since
she has been like a mother to her. Both Braden and Liz have their own secrets
and reasons for setting out to get the cure however Braden’s may be a little
darker. Together the pair will deal with challenges that will test themselves,
secrets from the past, risk their lives for love and find that one thing they
both have been missing all their lives.
OMG So much love for the Erris series. I was lucky enough
read them back to back so the first was fresh still in my mind. I love the
supernatural world blending over into the real world. Liz is my favorite
because she has read a whole selection of vampire books then gets to meet the
real deal. However I like that we have a half-vampire which are the Erris Coven
who I love, then we have what most people expect when you say vampires. Both of
their back stories are filled with sadness which made me all the happier to see
them together. Blood Twist is a fast paced story fill with mystery and intrigue
that captivated me till the end. I actually
stayed up super late just to know how the book would end, which it was worth
the less sleep. The books are well written very smooth they just flow along so
it’s easy to get lost in the story and lose track of time. I highly suggest if
you love paranormal romance giving them a try they won’t disappoint. The Erris
Coven Series has found a place in my heart as one of my all-time favorites. I can’t wait to read the next book I’m hoping
to learn more about Cian and Brooke in the next book since they have been teasing
me.
