Blood of the Earth by Faith Hunter (Early Review)
A Soulwood Novel #1 – Faith’s new series set in the Jane Yellowrock world!!
For those of you who are huge JY fans and read Blood in Her Veins, you will have already read a short story where Nell Ingram helps JY & Vamps onto a cult’s land to rescue a missing vamp. Nell’s character was extremely interesting and I was so excited to find out that she was getting her own series! BOTE is exactly the type of book I look for when I’m in the mood for witchy books; I’m not so much into the spells but I do love the interaction with nature and the earth. Nell doesn’t know what she is and neither do we (nor do any supernats who have met her) so she has had no guidance for her abilities.Nell was born into a polygamist cult that lives off the grid, preparing for government ruin or the apocalypse. She left when she was 12 to live off the compound with a family she would later marry into. Her background is really fascinating and seemingly done well. (I don’t have any real-life experience or knowledge but it seemed believable.) Ricky Bo and PSYLED ask Nell for her help and she ends up being contracted for work with them. This, and Nell’s developing connection to her land are the driving forces in this book.
I absolutely loved this book. I wouldn’t change anything about it and cannot wait for more books in this series! It will be out August 2nd, 2016.
5/5 Stars
I was given a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
