Brutal Boys Cry Blood

Dark Academia, Book 2

By: Steffanie Holmes

Narrated by: Bridget Bordeaux

Don’t get killed on Devil’s Night.

I thought I was close to figuring out the truth about the mysterious death of my roommate. But Blackfriars University still holds her secrets close.

In the name of the Father....

Father Sebastian Pearce—my priest, my teacher, my friend. The man who tempted me into sin with that rich, commanding voice. The man who had me over an altar...in the biblical sense. The one man in the world I’m forbidden to love.

...the Son....

William Windsor-Forsyth—the dark prince who shattered my heart into a thousand pieces. He’s as cruel as he is beautiful, and he’s back to make sure I don’t forget that he’s royalty and I’m the freak.

...and the Holy Spirit....

In a moonlit ceremony of obscenity and excess, the Orpheus Society made me one of their own. But that doesn’t mean I’ll keep their secrets. I’m here to expose a killer, even if the price of justice is betraying the two men I love.

I’ve said my prayers....

And poured my libations.

The old gods are listening.

They demand sacrifice.

Amen.

Brutal Boys Cry Blood is a dark bully romance and part two of the Dark Academia series. If you enjoy tales of clever heroines, ancient rites, secret societies, cruel princes and wicked priests, dusty libraries and decadent parties, twisted relationships and buried secrets, then prepare to enter the halls of Blackfriars University. You may never return.

Characters

Soooo… Monty was wanker you just want to slap. I know he had a crappy childhood and was misunderstood blah blah but the poison mushrooms were a fitting and justifiable end.
Lee- guts and grit!! I love her. She’s fun and resourceful.
George- smart and resilient and edgy with her New Rocks & polyamorous love triangle but she was a little winey & let too many situations go unanswered. I really wanted her to be more of a badass.
William - a winey little bitch. His mood swings were insane. Like, did he forget to take his meds? It doesn’t matter how big his dick is if you’re constantly having to figure out his current mood and motivation. Ugh.
Sebastian- Now there’s a man. Edgy, risky, sexy, sensitive, intelligent and hung! Mmmm!!!

Audio issues.

There is issues with the audible itself. A chapter just ends without the completion of it. There are sentences that are repeated back to back and then some other issues which was my biggest problem with this book. If you are a religious person at all this might not be for you at all. The narrator was great but the story kind of dragged on and the heroine was a bit all of the place and I wasn’t a huge fan. There is was a lot of repeating. I get it she is an atheist one time was enough and the priest is faithful to his god (but is a huge sinner) hmmmm. It is a long book and for me I got a bit bored. My rating is majority on the issues with the audio.
