Blood Heir is by Ilona Andrews and it’s a paranormal romance novel with shapeshifters. It’s loosely connected to the Kate Daniels series.
To be completely honest, I was a bit disappointed in this novel – especially because I loved the Kate Daniels series. This one just felt flat in comparison.
Julie, in the Kate Daniels series, was awesome and bad ass and sweet at times. In this novel, as Aurelia, she just felt more like an angsty teen. Yes, she had some badass moments – I will give her that – but most of the time she felt very much of a jerk to everyone. She treated Derek (who is a werewolf that she knew back when she was Julie) horribly. He felt hurt when she basically pushed him off. This confused me because in the Kate Daniels series she was actually a decent person.
If this becomes a series, I doubt I would want to read more of it. Aurelia just kind of made me not very interested and there was little to no romance – which was a total disappointment.
I recommend the Kate Daniels series to anyone … just don’t read Blood Heir.
I give it a 4/10.
