The Bloody and the Damned

Overall Rating: 5/5

As always with books with lengthy trigger warnings such as those disclosed in the front of The Bloody and the Damned... please read through the trigger warnings before you decide to plunge headfirst into novels! You matter.

Mercy has no place here.

You either live in the skies in comfort, or you do what you have to below for your basic needs such as water or food.

At the age of 18, Val knows this better than anyone. She has built another personality, another side of herself that is only known as the Butcher... the most infamous assassin-for-hire on Trinity...

An identity that no one should be able to trace... and yet...

When a job goes terribly wrong, and her sisters are kidnapped... she must count on unlikely allies of her past... and as they fight for her sisters...they may discover something that might uproot all that they know about Trinity.

There were parts that made me gasp, there were parts that had me on the edge of my seat, and if I had not been trying to read two other novels at the same time, I am sure that I would've stayed up all night and devoured this until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. Even then, I was thoroughly blown away by Becca's writing from the very first page of The Bloody and the Damned all the way up until the ending of this standalone, and ... omg.... the fact that it ends here... is this an excuse for me to look into Becca's other amazing works... perhaps? ;P
