Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Castillo didn’t want to go from Capo to Boss. That was his twin brothers place. One bullet changed everything. His twin brothers birthright became Castillo’s curse. Now he has to avenge his twin brothers death. Ever member of his family wants revenge and Castillo is going to give it to them with Tatum Linscott’s death. She’s is the reason his brother was buried. Now he’s going to break her, mend her, and break her once again. Tatum started this war….Castillo is going to finish it.
Blood and Lies is the first book in the A Twisted Debt duet from Bella J. This is a Dark Contemporary Romance. Some themes my be disturbing for some readers.
I love this first book. I was so engrossed I didn’t want to lay it down. I certainly did not want it to end. Blood and Lies is full of twists and turns with a big ole what is the real truth right in the middle of it. Castillo is in the hardest spot i can ever imagine a Mafia bosses child being. He wasn’t suppose to take his fathers place and therefore wasn’t being tailored for the position. A great tragedy has Castillo just exactly in his fathers shoes and his family demanding revenge. Tatum Linscott and her family are about to pay for the loss of everything Castillo held dear. She is the reason his brother is dead. However upon kidnapping and holding Tatum doubt begins to creep into Castillo’s mind. Does he know the whole truth? He also didn’t expect to meet the girl who could possibly be the perfect match to his dark and hi.dden desires. It is quite the mystery and will have you on your toes trying to figure out exactly what happened to Castillo’s twin brother and what the truth is. I loved both these characters. Tatum is one strong willed character and you can’t help but find an attraction to the villain in this story.
I read Bells J’s Resplendence Series. She absolutely blew me out of the water as Resplendent Ruin was her first novel. Her writing was absolutely amazing and continues to be so in Blood And Lies. She’s let her dark side out and I loved every second of it. I love when an author can switch up their genre of books. If you’ve not discovered Bella J yet, your missing out. I also can not wait to get my greedy fingers on Blood and Vows.
All the way from Cape Town, South Africa, Bella J lives for the days when she’s able to retreat to her writer’s cave where she can get lost in her little pretend world of romance, love, and insanely hot bad boys.
Bella J is a Hybrid Author with both Self-Published and Traditional Published work. Even though her novels range from drama, to comedy, to suspense, it’s the dark, twisted side of romance she loves the most.
