Blood Flows Deep in the Empire

Blood Flows Deep in the Empire - N. Isabelle Blanco Reposting my review as posted it way to early for an arc, this is released 7th march, have your ordered this book, or read it on an arc.........

Dyletri, God of Fertility, has locked away his powers. No woman is allowed to touch him, not until he can return his long-dead lover back to life. All he has to do is sacrifice one human girl, a girl who unlocks his powers and rips his dormant lust right out of his body. Trapped by his promise, Dyletri has no choice but to watch Ismini die, no matter how much he wants her...

Well that's the story, what can you say about a book that has everything, paranormal element (gods), a great story, good writing that draws you in and stirs emotions and super hot sex scenes........and super hot sex scenes, yes had to repeat that part.

Let me start by saying I was nearly put off from reading this book by the glossary of terms none of the words made sense they were totally made up words as far as I know. After reading the first two chapters I realised I was concerned for nothing I didn't either bother referring to them.

Dyletri, a tortured soul trying put things right from an eternity ago, has turned his back on being god of fertility, as the destruction it caused before he can not bear.

Ismini, a human woman born to be sacrificed by dyletri so his old loves soul can come back to him. Ismini has a kick arse friend that's having none of that even if her friend has accepted her fate.

When Dyletri goes to visit ismini a fortnight before the sacrifice, he finds her in distress after being followed by something unnatural looking! and as he comforts her yes comforts the woman his going to sacrifice ,,,.. Something happens to them, he can also read her thoughts, and as she has seen images of this uber hot sex on legs god all her life, she has used his image intimately shall we say, before he can leave she gets seriously ill and has to take her back to his home. How can he avoid her when she's ill and his not feeling to well either. He has to continue the plan as the fates of others count on it. Add in some very interfering female gods and you wonder where is this book gonna go. We all hope for a hea but can they really have one?

There are lots of gods in this book, all with strong personalities that grab you. As this is first in series of books you really see other stories developing, you could say so many gods/characters in first book wukd be over whelming, but as this is the first book there is world building to do - and I honestly found it not too confusing.

Did I mention the sexual tension and sex scenes they were beyond sizzling 5/5. Overall 4.5 stars, but putting as 5 as more 5 than 4!

I can't wait for book 2 now.
