Book Review: The BloodStone Legacy: Damnation

 


“My penance will never be enough”


Blood. Power. Darkness. Agony.

For the last almost three hundred years, these are the only things Aden Westcott has known.

But as the world's most notorious and most feared vampire commander, what do you do when you unexpectedly encounter the love of your life—only she's human?

Do you cling to the darkness you've always known, or do you join the fight for a world where her light has the power to transform a vicious vampire-dominated society and save your undead soul in the process?

Set in a dystopian world five hundred years in the future, where vampires rule and humans are slaves, The BloodStone Legacy is a hauntingly sensual story of forbidden love, heart-wrenching choices, sacrifice, and redemption in a world consumed by darkness.

In a society divided by power and blood, Aden Westcott is a brutal vampire haunted by the memory of a lost love. When he meets Ellie, a human thrall who bears a striking resemblance to his past, she challenges everything he believes and turns his world upside down.

As their lives intertwine and their passion ignites, Aden's inner turmoil and Ellie's resilience spark a forbidden bond, unraveling long-buried secrets. Together, they must navigate a treacherous path in a world where darkness and light collide and choices have consequences.

As the first book of The BloodStone Legacy series, "Damnation," will leave you breathless and aching for more.

If you enjoy dark and steamy paranormal romances such as "Adrian X Isolde" by Scarlett St. Clair and "The Dracula Duet" by Karina Halle, then "The BloodStone Legacy" is a must-read.

With its slow-burn romance, intense darkness, and escalating heat, "Damnation" is just the beginning of an unforgettable journey of a forbidden love that could save or destroy a world ravaged by vampires and ruled by darkness.

And with a cliffhanger ending, you'll be left on the edge of your seat, eagerly awaiting the next installment of The BloodStone Legacy series. So, don't wait, immerse yourself in the first book now. And stay tuned for the release of book two, "Atonement," in late Spring 2025.

Warning: this book contains graphic violence, sexual situations, non-consent (not between MMC and FMC), adult language, and scenes and references of physical and/or sexual abuse/assault that some readers may find triggering.


My Review

The opening chapter sure sucked me in. It is due to the events of this incident involving Aden's love that changed him. He is brooding. Yet, that changes when he meets Ellie. He feels an instant feeling to protect her. Ellie feels a strong pull to Aden. It is something about his eyes. 

The way that Aden stopped Ellie from being hurt further was nice of him. This is because he is brash and even the way he interacts with Ellie can be rough at times. Yet, I could excuse this as I knew why Aden was the way he was. Even without much intimate interaction between Ellie and Aden, I still felt a strong connection involving these two. 

Seeing Aden start changing and lightening up with Ellie was a nice progression. Also to hear Ellie laugh and smile was great. I look forward to continuing their story in the next book. 

I have a feeling that things will take a turn and there will be a few surprises and a bumpy road for Ellie and Aden.
