No the bloodlust is a major ingredient, just enjoy the books for what they are, a good story extremely well told’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review

‘Heather just keeps getting better and better. Could not put this book down, love the characters Henry, Amy and even bad boy Robert. Exciting, sad and thrilling all at the same time - really would make a great tv drama’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review
