Synopsis

The last words Ash hears her mother say are, "When you fall in love, you will carve out your heart and throw it into the deepest ocean. You will be all in—blood and salt."

Determined to find her mother when she disappears, Ash follows her to Quivara, Kansas, the spiritual commune she escaped long ago. But something sinister and ancient waits among the rustling cornstalks of this village lost to time.

Her mother is nowhere to be found, but Ash is plagued by memories of her ancestor, Katia, which harken back to the town's history of unrequited love, murder, alchemy, and immortality. Charming traditions give way to a string of deaths. And Ash feels herself drawn to Dane, a mysterious, forbidden boy with secrets of his own.

As the community prepares for a ceremony five hundred years in the making, Ash fights to save her mother, her lover, and herself. She must discover the truth about Quivara before it's too late. Before she's all in—blood and salt.

*Warning: Prepare yourselves for swearing. There are books that I want to cherish, but end up wanting to throw against a brick wall--Blood and Saltis one of those books. Despite this, I'm actually not sure if I want to recommend it to everyone, or tell you to let it burn in the pits of your TBRs. Thi......more

Kitabı okumaya başladığım andan sayfa 150 civarlarına gelene kadar kendimi Ash gibi sersem sebelek hissettim. Olaylar birden başlıyor ve kendinizi ana karakterimizin bile anlamadığı bir esrarengizliğin içinde buluyorsunuz. Okuyorsunuz. Okudukça kafanızda sorular çoğalıyor. NE OLUYO YEA!

This review has also been posted at Carole's Random Life. I had really high hopes for this book. Romantic horror just sounds completely fantastic. I like a good romance novel every once in a while but mix that up with some horror and I just knew that I would fall in love with this book. The descripti......more
