Rebel Bitten: Blood Alliance, Book 4

Book 4 of the Blood Alliance series pretty much picks right up where we left off in book three and once again Lexi doesn’t disappoint. If you haven’t read the other books in this series I seriously suggest you do because there is a whole lot of backstory you’re going to want to know before you dive in.Ok so we have Ryder - an ancient vampire who is an anti-social, alpha male who really just does not give 2 eff’s about what the current “society” rules are. Personally he’s my kinda guy! With the IDGAF attitude he has some may call him broody but I don’t think so. He’s pretty freaking charming and funny if you ask me (in a dark sort of way that is right up my alley).Then we have Willow... She’s kinda banged up when we first meet her but girl has fire and strength I totally admire.These two make a perfect pair! I also love Ryder’s right hand man Damian too (please let him get his own book someday). The level of snark between him and Ryder are some of my favorite moments.As a whole I felt like I related to these characters the best in the series to date. On top of that it felt like this book helped advance the overall arc of the series as a whole. I can’t wait for more.

I’m love with the newest installment of the series. Each book getting better and better. I loved Rae and Kylan and their relationship and unique bond. Then was replaced by a new favorite with the scorching hot triad of Econ, Luna and Silas. Now with willow and Ryder. I liked getting to see the plot behind the final of the three friends from blood day to now. Each rising to their potential and power. Willow is kick ass and I love her natural defiance and power. It’s exactly what draws Ryder to her. Sick of years of monotonous rules and regulations taking the thrill of the chase and hunt out of things which lead to a lack of respect for humans and their food. Which was essential to their existence and so counter productive. I love how Ryder is the bad boy who doesn’t follow rules and also seems to surprise willow at every turn. Yes he is cruel, when required and necessary but he always protects her and shows her more kindness than any had before. It allows for a unique bond to grow over time before craziness ensues. Suspense, plot twists, revenge, love, sex. So many things to chose from. CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK!!

This was ... fudgeIntense - emotional - soooo unexpectedNo Spoilers - This episode contains some major turning points for our band of misfits 😂 Let's be honest here they are quite the collection of personalities.The emotional whammies begin during the opening scene and,in true Foss fashion, do not stop!I was a complete emotional mess -I jest you not - I read this in one sittingWillow awakens panicked and very confused but determined not to die at the feet of her abusers -She didn't fight this long to give up now.Anywhere has to better than where she is right?Maybe not...Returning from the debacle that was Clemente Clan Ryder happens upon Willow. Normally he would leave the dying creature to meet her fate - maybe it was boredom? - maybe the thrill of the unknown? or quite possibly it was the surprise fight in the feral creature that roused his curiosity -Whatever it was he found himself intriguedSo - he did what he always does - what he wantedHe kept herLet the fun begin!I truly believe this may be the best in this series to date!

This series just keeps getting better and better. I absolutely loved our guy. He is very different from those who came before him. His sidekick is hysterical. I loved him as well. Our gal had mystery running the entire length of this novel. This one left us with a huge cliffhanger. Not in the traditional sense but enough for me to have a bit of an issue. The next book in the series is not until well into next year which is a long time to make us wait. I understand as Lexi has other books to create but at the same time I want what I want when I want it. Kind of like a spoiled child. I loved this book to bits Lexi. Great job! denise bailey

This is the fourth book in the Blood Alliance series, and I highly suggest you read the others before this one (all 5 star books in my opinion). Ryder is a a vampire who does not ever do what’s expected of him. Ever. He dispenses justice as he sees fit, and refuses to conform; sometimes because it’s the wrong thing to do, and other times because he likes to piss certain people off. Willow is a strong human that has been through the ringer since she was assigned her place in the world. She’s raised to be subservient, but Ryder sees a spark in her that intrigued him. When I say I “action packed” it truly is. So many surprises and twists in the story, many I didn’t expect to occur in the timeline yet, but Ryder does what he wants. I’m ready to read it again, and excited for the continuation of the series. Definitely worth the read.

Lexi C. Foss has quickly become one of my favorite paranormal authors in the last year or two. She has a wicked mind in creating these alternate worlds. The characters are witty, often wicked, and each supreme in his or her world. I love this series but I would have to say Immortal Curse is my favorite.I wasn't sure what to expect with Ryder from our introduction to him in Blood Alliance book 3. He was certainly the wild card in this series. He wasn't as harsh as I was afraid he would be - he was so unpredictable and that really drew me to his character. I also didn't have high hopes that Willow would be able to survive what she had been through. There are some aspects to the story that I would love to have filled in - like the camps, what is the rest of the story of what happens besides death - perhaps they aren't necessary to the arc of the series. Ryder and Willow set up book 5 quite nicely - Jace, I can't wait to read your story. And will we ever find out where Cam is? Ready for book 5!!

Not only does this book look fabulous on the outside, it is brilliant on the inside. That cover...phew!! It depicts Ryder perfectly, mysterious, deadly and sexy as hell!Ryder, what can you say about him. He's a man of action and little emotion, one of the oldest vampires. Ruthless, calculating, cold, powerful, commanding, dominant - a recluse who never does what's expected. He's not been idle though whilst in his self imposed exile, he's been building a fortress and watching. Now he's out in the open, a newly appointed royal, but a rule breaker, a rebel.  He sees the huge fundamental flaws and the evil cruelty of the current system and is determined to dismantle it piece by piece. This man is seriously hot, one of my favourite male characters in Lexi C Foss's vast array of worlds.Humans in this dark, brutal world are worthless, dispensable cattle and are classed as nothing but food and playthings. Ryder knows their importance though, afterall vampires can't survive without them. When an injured, dying, beautiful human woman stumbles onto his territory, he sees a fire in her that has all but disappeared from most humans.  He's intrigued, so he does the unexpected and saves her life with his blood.I loved these two, Ryder refusing to toe the line in Queen Lilith's new world of the blood alliance. He had compassion beneath his hard exterior, even though took him a while to admit it, with the help of his feisty pet!  Willow was confused as to why Ryder as a royal was so complex and completely different to everything she'd been taught. She was a strong willed survivor and hadn't been broken despite the hell she'd been through and slowly their connection and super hot chemistry brought each other back to life, with a few fangtastic twists along the way.This world is intense, harsh, savage and bloodthirsty at times but always there is that chink of light and hope that not everyone complies with the system.  It's full of darkness, suspense, intrigue, twists, turns, steamy hot passion and a compelling plot. I love this series, the rebellion has started and I can't wait for happens next.

I absolutely love the Blood Alliance series and could not wait to find out what had happened to Willow.I adored Ryder and how he took care of Willow.This book was well written, hot and had a few surprises! Also great to see some of the characters from the previous books. Would definitely recommend this series to everyone, but definitely read in order!Cannot wait for the next in the series!

Good story

This series just keeps getting better and better and better and BETTER!!!! Ryder, oh Ryder...sigh. He never does what is expected if him and I love him for that as does our lovely Willow. One thing I will say is that Lexi knows how to write a strong female character and Willow is no exception to this.This book was a turning point in this new world and things are about to get so much more interesting now!Just a short one today because its really hard to talk about this story without so many spoilers. As always I will recommend anything that Lexi writes, even a rude limerick on a paper napkin. So stop reading this poor excuse of a review, and read this book instead.I received an ARC and because my cat is doing strange things, I have provided an honest review
