Lifeblood - Book 2, Everlife Triology ★★★★★ 5/5

The harder you fight, the more you bleed.

The day is about to dawn. Time is short. Let the battle begin.

"My Firstlife is over, but my Everlife is only now beginning."

With her last living breath, Tenley “Ten” Lockwood made her choice and picked her realm in the Everlife. Now, as the war between Troika and Myriad rages, she must face the consequences.

Because Ten possesses a rare supernatural ability to absorb and share light, the Powers That Be have the highest expectations for her future—and the enemy wants her neutralized. Fighting to save her Secondlife, she must learn about her realm from the ground up while launching her first mission: convincing a select group of humans to join her side before they die. No pressure, right?

But Ten's competition is Killian, the boy she can’t forget—the one who gave up everything for her happiness. He has only one shot at redemption: beating Ten at a game she’s never even played. As their throw-downs heat up, so do their undeniable feelings, and soon, Ten will have to make another choice. Love…or victory.

★★★★★ 5/5

Just as in the first book, the wonderful complex plot can keep you busy for hours, just dreaming about the different chapters and scenes. Everything that happens is relative, wasting very few words and not rambling on and on. In Lifeblood, every word counts and adds to the story.
