Review:
"Centuries of Blood: Becoming" by S. I. Hayes
My Speculation:
I found this story quite complicated as well as entertaining as it will hold your attention to the end, especially if you enjoy a good paranormal romance read as 'Centuries of Blood: Becoming' was presented. I found the characters somewhat odd in many strange ways, however still interesting.
We find Catharine Morrigan was promised to one. However, she did not want him [Henri]. Then she meets another who is a vampire, A Blood Devourer [Darious], they part, and she returns home and marries the one she didn't want. What will happen as this story plays out? I will say at this point I didn't enjoy the sexual abuse she received from that Henri. Well, I will just say this is one of those paranormal reads that you will have to pick up and see for yourself if she will reconnect with the vampire Darious as he fights for Morrigan survival at the hands of the man she calls her husband? I will say that the ending was somewhat abrupt that did leave me wondering what happened with Henri and his brother Robert? Did I find this story a good read? YES!
