Rebel Bitten (Blood Alliance, #4)
Lexi C. Foss
Once upon a time, humankind ruled the world while lycans and vampires lived in secret. This is no longer that time. Willow Run, run, run! They're chasing me, even into my dreams. And when I awake, I see him. Striking blue eyes with a hint of the devil inside. He's my savior and my worst nightmare combined. Because he owns me. He found me. He saved me. But I don't want to be owned. I want to be free. Even if it kills me. Ryder I needed a diversion, a plaything, something to distract me from this perpetual boredom. And she appeared as if the Almighty above had heard my prayers. Or, more accurately, the devil. Because I'm not a good man. Humanity died inside me long ago. It was what I needed to survive. But she's such a pretty little thing. I think I'll keep her and make her mine. At least for a little while. Humans are so fragile, after all. Welcome to Ryder Region. It might not be mine yet, but it will be soon. For I haven't lived this long by playing nice. I prefer to bite.

Your rating:
“This world is dark. Humans are slaves. Vampires and Lycans rule the world, because we’re the superior species.”
If you’re coming into this series now, stop! Start at book 1! It’s so worth it and fun knowing a bit more about the world and some of the other characters. (Also every second of Foss’s writing you can get is absolutely worthwhile!)
Foss is most definitely a bit twisted—I hope she doesn’t mind me saying this, as I mean it as a positive remark—creating dark worlds, unique characters and expertly weaving them together.
She also weaves danger, humor, wit, and real feels and all the while a major, world-altering war is brewing. Reading the books in this world is an adrenaline-filled experience.
“He had just slain an entire room of evil in a way I could only dream of accomplishing.” —Willow, ‘Rebel Bitten’.
5 stars.

*If you read for steamy scenes, there are some in this read which are clearly mind-blowing for the characters, and as always with Foss, they do manage to NOT be the same old steamy scenes that many romance authors write over and over again. They contain originality and atypical play. (Personally, I read more for the dark world, corruption, plot twists, etc. but these scenes serve to fuel much of that as well!)
*I cannot recommend this series hard enough … but if you’re thin-skinned, it may not be for you. It’s got some absolutely beautifully, brilliantly dark undertones.

Kale Williams is amazing and whoa … that is one sexy voice.
Sarah Puckett is a fave of mine as well, though her penchant for mis-prounciation does trip me up at times. Overall 4-star performance from her, combined with a 5-star performance from Kale.
