Summary

Never make a deal with the devil–especially if that deal entails holy matrimony。

There’s only one rule my mother passed down to me before she died: Never venture into the east side of Edinburgh。
I never questioned it。
There are creatures in this world that could hurt us, she’d said。
So, I stay away—until my life hits rock bottom, and I find myself curious about the forbidden side of the ancient city。
It doesn’t seem all that different here–bars, clubs, restaurants。 Just like the human side。
One too many drinks later, he finds me。
A silly poem and a whispered wish are all it takes for him to rip through the mirror between realms and pin me against a wall。
Cruel, inhuman, cunning。 A demon—an actual prince from hell。 With horns。
What could he possibly want from me?
Marriage, apparently。
Because as it turns out, Bloody Marius is dead serious about upholding his end of the deal。

Blood & Vows is a dark retelling of the legend of Bloody Mary。 It is a paranormal romance novella that will leave your kindle sizzling。 Please note that this book has dark themes such as forced marriage, kidnapping, dubious consent, violence, and explicit language, which may be triggering for some。

Uhhhh, I need the full story like now。 It’s been a long time that I’ve felt disappointed a story ended and I definitely felt that with this one。

Luisa Andrade

It’s a good and short story! Very entertaining! The only thing I missed was the closure between Liz and Rachel, but besides that I really like it!

Bee Jarrell

the storyline was interesting and something i’d be hugely interested in reading, but the writing was atrocious and the plot line moved entirely too quickly。 like, chapter two she hated him and would rather die than live with him and chapter four they were having sex。 it just doesnt make any sense。 there was no character development whatsoeverits a good read if you want something to devour quickly and enjoy smut。 other than that, not a good read。

Driven by loneliness and pain, Liz finds herself in an offside bar, looking into a mirror with a spell asking her to make a wish on Bloody Marius。 - Stupid only when you're the unknowledgeable missing part of an agreement and suddenly realize you're bound to a blood-red-eyed demon。 A great story that will hopefully be finished in 2023 with the two full-length books; promised by the author。 Driven by loneliness and pain, Liz finds herself in an offside bar, looking into a mirror with a spell asking her to make a wish on Bloody Marius。 - Stupid only when you're the unknowledgeable missing part of an agreement and suddenly realize you're bound to a blood-red-eyed demon。 A great story that will hopefully be finished in 2023 with the two full-length books; promised by the author。 。。。more

This was a very interesting take on "Bloody Mary"。I'm so glad it turned out this way, and that it was Marious。Everything and everyone is not as at seems surrounding Liz and her world is about to turn upside down (for the better in my opinion)。 Loved it!!! I'm highly anticipating the two full length books off of this。 This was a very interesting take on "Bloody Mary"。I'm so glad it turned out this way, and that it was Marious。Everything and everyone is not as at seems surrounding Liz and her world is about to turn upside down (for the better in my opinion)。 Loved it!!!

This is the 5th book in the Twisted Legends Collection and the first book that I’ve read by this author。 I have never read a Bloody Mary retelling and this has me wanting so much more。 It’s dark, raw and involves forced marriage, kidnapping, dub con and more so please check the trigger warnings。 I was hooked right from the beginning。 Character development and world building were great。 Definitely going to go back and read the first 4 books。 Liz is a strong, smart and fierce FMC who was warned by This is the 5th book in the Twisted Legends Collection and the first book that I’ve read by this author。 I have never read a Bloody Mary retelling and this has me wanting so much more。 It’s dark, raw and involves forced marriage, kidnapping, dub con and more so please check the trigger warnings。 I was hooked right from the beginning。 Character development and world building were great。 Definitely going to go back and read the first 4 books。 Liz is a strong, smart and fierce FMC who was warned by her mother to not step foot in the east side of Edinburgh。 While life isn’t going well for her currently, she decides she’s curious。 She doesn’t see much of a difference in the outside, but it’s what’s lies beneath she should be afraid of。 After several drinks, Liz ends up summoning Bloody Marius through a mirror from his realm。 Now he wants her, in all ways possible。 Can Liz resist Marius in his sexy, dark, dangerous and possessive ways or will she succumb to him?Such a good book。 I wished it was longer though。 Full of twists, danger, action, violence and secrets in this paranormal romance。 Can I summon my own Bloody Marius?! Can’t wait to read more from this author。 I received this book and am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion。 。。。more

Short and sweet! Just long enough for me to fall in love with the characters and still crave more of them once the book had ended! Definitely hoping to see more of Marius and Liz in the future!

I absolutely loved this dark retelling of the Legend of Bloody Mary! It was a hot, paranormal, forced marriage, fated mates, one-bed novella I devoured faster than I thought possible。 The author has put a unique spin of this known tale and I was here for it。 There were also hints of the Hades and Persephone myth which is one of my favorite myths。 This book was a slow burn and it took a while for us to get to the spice, but the relationship building and character development made it worth the wai I absolutely loved this dark retelling of the Legend of Bloody Mary!

Amanda Aggie

This was a cool twist on Bloody Mary, as well as a Hades & Persephone retelling! I thoroughly enjoyed it and though the steam didn’t appear until much later, it made sense with their relationship。 I can’t wait to see what happens to Liz! I have my suspicions but I’m excited to know more。

Kaija

um, more please? I don’t know what it is about this book but I need more! This book is insane! And jaw dropping not! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Man she made the devil cry!!!! Like swoon-worthy right there!!

Giving an extra star because the author has said they will be taking this story and creating two books out if it。 As the story is now it feels very compacted and there isn't time to give the characters any feeling so they all fall very flat。 However, the spicy scenes were on point。 Giving an extra star because the author has said they will be taking this story and creating two books out if it。 As the story is now it feels very compacted and there isn't time to give the characters any feeling so they all fall very flat。 However, the spicy scenes were on point。 。。。more

I was lucky enough to read this book as an ARC and I really enjoyed it。 It’s part of a collection of interconnected stand-alones based around urban myths and urban legends。 Blood & Vows is loosely based on the Bloody Marius urban legend。 It’s a short book following Liz as she finds out an comes to terms with the connection between the two of them, angst & spice included。K。 Easton said at the end that she plans on expanding Liz & Marius’ story and I will definitely be reading that once she has!3。 I was lucky enough to read this book as an ARC and I really enjoyed it。 It’s part of a collection of interconnected stand-alones based around urban myths and urban legends。 Blood & Vows is loosely based on the Bloody Marius urban legend。 It’s a short book following Liz as she finds out an comes to terms with the connection between the two of them, angst & spice included。K。 Easton said at the end that she plans on expanding Liz & Marius’ story and I will definitely be reading that once she has!3。5 stars 。。。more

Shawna Jimenez more。books。forever

I have no words!!Pure brilliance I don’t even know what to say except that everything needs to grab this and Amanda did such a phenomenal job with the story and the characters I am speechless

Cassidy

very shortI liked it but if I’m giving a real review I felt like it was very short。 It didn’t really have a climax no pun intended it seemed like it started to get into other things but I think it was finished way to soon。 Still an ok read if you are horny, just for a quick read。

J。

Paranormal romanceIt's just too short, otherwise it's great。 It easily could have been twice as long。 Devil/Fae Pairing。 Main character doesn't have alot going for her。 Past infidelity。 Paranormal romanceIt's just too short, otherwise it's great。 It easily could have been twice as long。 Devil/Fae Pairing。 Main character doesn't have alot going for her。 Past infidelity。 。。。more

Well。。。good luck)Betrayed by the people she trusted the most, the FMC, aka, Liz, she goes off to that part of the city, her mother warned her never to go to - East Edinburgh, the other side of the town where dark creatures reside。 She goes there because she is fed up of this life and finally wants to give it up by facing something her mother told her not to。。。。will she survive it? Or will she die? The answer will be given at the end。。。but end of what?Okay, so a heartbroken Liz, after catching her boyfriend and her bestfriend in bed with each other, goes to the East side of Edinburgh and goes into a bar called Dante's Inferno 🥃 gets drunk and spills her heartache to a bartender, Rory and then spills about her 'suspicions/speculations' about the paranormal world regarding which Rory dismisses her but she then ask for the restroom。 On her way back from the restroom, she finds a piece of paper with a poem written on it on a wall next to THE MIRROR。 Talking of Bloody Marius (Bloody Mary's male version, nice name though)。 It's gonna get exciting on the road ahead, you've been warned⚠️🛤When she recites the poem, and wishes for the one thing she really craves, there stands a man, from another era, young, wise yet powerful。 Oh my Lord! Drop dead gorgeous is that man with black hair, red eyes, red horns, cold skin and a power that relaxes Liz without any difficulty😍 Marius is the name🥵When the chapter shifts to Marius' pov, it is shown that he is caught off-guard yet he is very certain that she is HIS。 And it seems that he had known her mother for he says, "Red hair, just like her mother。" And it also seems, he has know Liz for quite sometimes now because as he said "she looks so different from the last time I saw her。" Well, isn't that interesting。。。。。Oh My GOD! The next chapter reveals soooo much about how Marius knows who her mother is and who Liz is, but poor Liz, she doesn't know anything。 Her mother kept it from her。 And now she is gonna get to know everything that ever happened。 Their arguments even when Marius doesn't wanna argue with his mate, Liz pokes him all the time and it is infuriatingly funny and cute。 The spicy scenes are volcanic because it is after all the devil, monster sex at its best🔥A nice novella that gets you out of a reading slump✨️ 。。。more

no rhyme or reasonLittle to no character development, felt rushed, no real plot and just over all wanting。 There’s potential here and I see the writer having a lot of potential, just needed more filler

love love I was hanging on to every word。 The author has such a way with words almost like I was watching a movie。 Can’t wait for the next installment

this is part of the twisted legends collection and it was loosely based on the bloody mary legend。 mary was instead the devil named marius and he was fated mates with a half fae named Liz。 honestly, the characters and story drew me in instantly。 i loved that so much of the paranormal world was intertwined with the real world and hidden in plain sight。 this was short and spicy and i loved it!oh, and i thought it was cool how liz has the same scar down her chest as me。 its always cool when you rea this is part of the twisted legends collection and it was loosely based on the bloody mary legend。 mary was instead the devil named marius and he was fated mates with a half fae named Liz。 honestly, the characters and story drew me in instantly。 i loved that so much of the paranormal world was intertwined with the real world and hidden in plain sight。 this was short and spicy and i loved it!oh, and i thought it was cool how liz has the same scar down her chest as me。 its always cool when you read a book and can relate。 :) but, boo for heart problems。 lol 。。。more

**ARC received in exchange for honest review**this is a new author to me。I loved how detailed she was in describing where the characters were or what they were looking at。 Made me feel like I was standing there with them。 Kinda wished the story was a bit longer because I was hooked and did not want it to end。 Well worth the read。 Now I need to go snoop out more of her books。
