The Blue Fire Saga, Book #2

Review brought to you by OBS staff member Autumn
After rescuing her brother from the caverns of a vampire coven and helping to cure her mother of a vampire bite, Leesa Nyland hopes she’s done dealing with all things supernatural. All she wants to do now is enjoy college life—and to figure out how to kiss her vampire hunter boyfriend without his magical fire burning her to a crisp. She doesn’t think that’s too much to ask.
So she’s not too happy when she begins dreaming of rotting bodies emerging from their graves, and she likes it even less when the terrifying dreams begin to come true. When objects around her start moving seemingly on their own accord, she figures that’s more than enough. It’s a good thing she doesn’t know about the powerful vampire who has sworn vengeance against her… (Goodreads)
Review:
I just knew we would see the sinister Edwina again and she makes her evil presence known again in this follow up to Breathless. She seeks retribution for the loss of Leesa’s brother, Bradley, her feeder. At the end of the last book, Stefan had bartered Bradley’s freedom in return for Leesa to agree to be his consort. The whole plan is thwarted when her true bloodline is revealed. All is saved, or that is what we would like to believe.
Things start to happen to Leesa that she can’t explain. Objects begin to move on their own, strange people start to appear and it seems that there are more questions than there are answers.
Rave, sadly, was mostly absent from this book. He still continues to try to control his internal heat to get closer to Leesa but I must admit that I was hoping for more development in the relationship between these two main characters.
We are then introduced to the mysterious Dominic and begin to uncover the reason that he has been trying to find Leesa. It turns out that she may be even more powerful than anyone originally thought.
Deathless was certainly worth the quick read but I hope to find more of what I’m looking for in the next installment in the saga – Helpless.
