Blood by Katie May
5.0
Ya’ll, I went through a plethora of emotions in this book. First I was sad, then laughing, then shocked, then 🥵, then laughing again, then sad again, then laughing and laughing and laughing, and then sad and sobbing again, then happy. Ugh but so many more emotions if I’m being honest. I’m so sad this series has come to an end. I don’t think I’ve ever loved a series this much and had one that made me laugh THIS much. I really hope she’ll make more stories in this world. I love Katie May’s writing. She is now an insta-read author since this is the third series by her that I’ve absolutely loved. Ugh, I don’t think I can say goodbye to Violet, Frankie, Vin, Mason, Jack, Hux, Dimitri, Cal, Barrett, Alex, and so many more. I will forever remember this world, all of the characters, all of the laughs I had, and tears😭😭.
This book had me sobbing over Mason, Balor, and Dimitri’s love declaration so much. Like no joke, I was sobbing so much, I had snot dripping out of my nose, my throat closing up, ugh, it hurt so much. And then with Balor😭😭, like come on. I was done. Out of it. It was so sad and sweet. And then laughing like crazy over Violet, Hux’s outburst over his precious treasure using phrases Mason taught him 😭🤣, over Dracula and Lucifer, and in the epilogue with their happy little family😭. And we finally got to see Dimitri and Alex join the harem, and their delicious spicy times🥵. And we learned that Dimitri is a cuddler 👀, and we got to see Alex being vulnerable 🥺. I just wish we saw more of him and Violet together. And then that scene with Dracula, Lucifer and Hera👀👀..? Gosh, I loved this book so freaking much. And those epilogues were perfection. Chef’s kiss. I’m going to miss Violet’s crazy talk and clumsiness. Frankie’s scientific observations and sweet love declarations. Vin’s fierce protectiveness over Violet, how he treated her like a queen. Mason’s sunshine and humor. Jack’s sweet disposition, but the spiciness in bed. Hux’s unrelenting loyalty and love. Dimitri’s lethalness in every aspect. Cal’s lack of humbleness. Barret’s sweet innocent persona. And Alex’s bickering with Violet.
Favorite quotes/scenes:
“What in the ever-loving fuck are you doing?” (Alex)
“Ummm . . . asking about an orgy to find the super-secret monster council?” (Violet)
“I was being sarcastic.” (Alex)
“Oh. You asshole! Are you telling me I just asked a random woman about an orgy when I didn’t even need to?!” (Violet)
“She’s my enemy. I tormented her. She tormented me. We’re fire and gasoline, and so long as we’re near each other, the world will eternally burn. But fuck, do I want to be consumed by her flames and bask in her heat.” (Alex)
“She’s temptation in the cruelest of forms—an angelic entity that somehow found herself trapped on Earth, haunting this plane for all of eternity.” (Mason)
“What the fuck am I even seeing?” (Vin asks)
“I can’t look away.” (Jack)
“Are you going to take my cock like a good little slut? God, you’re such a sexy chair. I could just lick you all over.” (Guard doused with Cal's lust power)
“My god. I never thought I would witness a chair getting molested. It’s . . . quite fascinating, if I’m being completely honest. Just how does he expect to receive pleasure from it?” (Frankie)
“<i>That’s</i> what you’re worried about?” (Balor)
“You know I love and respect you more than any other person on this planet, right?” (Barret)
“Yes?” (Violet)
“Good. Because I’m about to fuck you like I don’t.” (Barret🥵🥵)
“I was having a nightmare. “ (Violet)
“You were screaming, ‘Barret, oh Barret, fuck me harder, Barret. I love your huge dick inside my pussy!’” (Alex)
“Maybe you heard me wrong. Maybe I said . . . ‘Tarot, oh Tarot, show me my future, Tarot. I love your huge mick because you’re a wussy.’” (Violet🤣🤣)
“But I swear to all of the gods and goddesses that, if you don’t help me get to my precious treasure, I will fuck you so hard.” (Hux)
“Don’t you mean fuck you up?” (Cal)
“No. I believe the saying is fuck you so hard. And if you’re really mad, you say ‘fuck you so hard until you’re screaming my name.’” (Hux)
“Who told you that?” (Vin)
“Mason.” (Hux🥲)
“I’m desperate to set eyes upon the woman who claimed my heart, body, and soul. All it took was one chocolate bar.” (Hux)
“If I’m ever going to have permanent markings on my skin, then it’ll be Violet’s name on the bottom of my back, directly above my ass crack.” (Hux)
“A tramp stamp?” (Jack asks)
“It’s a declaration of love to have your lover’s name there. Mason told me.” (Hux)
Of course, he did. (Jack)
“I’m the sun and he’s the moon, and we’re constantly chasing each other through the heavens. But there’s a brief, brief moment when the sun and moon can exist in relative harmony, both lighting up the sky.” (Violet about Alex)
“Authorization denied.”
“Who’s there? Come out, you witch!” (Hux)
“Authorization denied.”
“Are you hiding in the ceiling? Come out and face me like a monster!”
“Hux, it’s just the machine.” (Jack)
“The machine’s trying to keep me from my precious treasure!” (Hux🤣🤣) >> How does Katie May write these scenes🤣🤣
“You stupid, irritating woman. How could you do this to me? To us? If you die, we’re just going to have to follow you to the next life. You know that, don’t you? There’s no point in being here without you. You need to remain alive, Violet Dracula, so I can tell you that I love you. I love you, and I hate you for it, but that doesn’t change the fact that you are my entire world. I’ll kill anyone who dares try to take you from me—even if it’s yourself. Please, Violet. Please.” (Dimitri)
“She’s both my greatest sin and most wonderful salvation. She saved me when I didn’t even realize I needed saving, reforming a broken man into one worthy of her love.” (Mason)
“I love you. I love you with every inch of my dark, fucked-up heart. It’s a lump of coal, but it’s yours . . . if you want it. I love you when you babble. I love you when you say asinine things that make most people shake their heads in disgust. I love you when you’re covered in cheese dust and staring up at me with wide, terrified eyes. I love you, and I’d be remiss if I spent another day not telling you the truth.” (Dimitri)
“You may be willing to kill for me, Violet Dracula. But I’ll burn the world down for you.” (Jack)
“I’m . . . confused.” (Barret)
“Gray sweatpants should be made illegal. It does horrible things to a girl’s libido. Mama likey.” (Violet)
“Um . . .”
Did she hit her head? Is that why she’s calling herself my mother?
“When I received your text, Violet, I was afraid you were breaking up with me. Of course, I wasn’t worried. Not truly. I’m too handsome to be broken up with.” (Cal🤣🤦♀️)
“I feel like there’s a breeze in my bumhole region. My cock-a-doodle is feeling rather peckish. What’s good in the neighborhood, homies?” (Dracula)
“Do you have any idea what he just said?” (Vin)
“No idea.” (Frankie)
“I’m saying that I love you, you big idiot. I don’t know when it happened—or even how, because you have the personality of a bloody tampon—but I love you. I love you, Alexander. With my whole heart.” (Violet)
“I don’t know when it happened for me, either. I mean, we both know your own personality is the equivalent of a dictionary—” (Alex)
“Useful and smart?” (Violet)
“Boring and monotonous. But I love you too, you bigger idiot.” (Alex)
“From the very first moment we met, he drew me in like a moth to a flame, one look threatening to turn me to nothing but flaky ash. I burn for this man.” (Violet about Alex)
“I have nine mates who love me, three parents who would walk through Hell to get to me, and some of the best friends a girl could ask for. What more could any vampire-who-isn’t-really-a-vampire want?”
“The flowers you bought Violet to celebrate her graduation. I’ve never touched them. I certainly never deflowered them. Do you want to deflower them yourself?” (Barret)
Lucifer chokes on air, Dracula snarls, and Hera simply smirks at us all.
“I don’t understand what’s happening.” (Barret)
“It’s okay. You’re cute. You don’t need to know what’s going on.” (Violet)
“What are you thinking about, Cheese Curd?” (Barret)
“How happy I am.” (Violet)
This is the life I always wanted but never dreamed I would have. I fought for this—bled for this—and somehow, my deepest fantasy became reality. I may be a monster, but maybe, just maybe, monsters can have happy endings too. And I damn well found mine. 😭😭
