Bloodsinger Book Review
Bloodsinger by Juliette Cross
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25
I absolutely loved Firebird, and I was so ecstatic when I received an ALC of Bloodsinger. Book 2 follows Malina’s sister, Lela and Julian’s best friend Trajan. It tells the story of Lela coming into her powers as a blood singer and her attempts to escape being enslaved in Rome. She finds herself an unlikely ally, Trajan and she isn’t sure if she can trust him or not.
The FMC and MMC were easy to fall in love with, and this plot may seem a little slow, but don’t fret – it’s building up to the big climax in book 3. Just know, this is a DARK Fantasy Romance and it has some triggers that people might not like, so please read the trigger warnings prior to reading.
And read the epilgoue, it gives you a hint as to which way book 3 is heading!
Tropes

Book Description
Lela Bihari’s village was invaded on her wedding night, her betrothed murdered right in front of her. While her sisters were either dragged away or escaped, Lela was sold to Valerius, a consul of Rome.
When she tried to kill Valerius her first night as his slave, her bloodsinger gift manifested… and she was punished for it. Now she’s paraded in front of the other senators for their amusement.
But Trajan Tiberius, the newly elected tribune to the senate, is different. He has no love for the brutality around him. When he frees Lela from enslavement and hides her, Lela is set on a path of vengeance, and using her gift puts her in more danger than ever before.
Now trapped inside the walls of Rome while deathriders circle the skies, how can she possibly trust a Roman dragon? Especially when it is clear Trajan has ulterior schemes of his own? As her powers grow stronger, danger draws closer, and Lela realizes it isn’t just her life at stake, but also her heart.
