Blood and Light Vampire Series by Rue Volley Re-Release


Six Books, one epic journey. Make their story your own.
 
Blurb - Blood and Light - Book 1:
Rue lives in the quiet little town of Calvary, Minnesota. It is nestled along the Great Lakes and surrounded in lush forests. A home, a safe place to be, or so she thought.

Rue is planning her future and trying to navigate school and all other aspects of her life. Then her Mother falls ill. This sends Rue spiraling as she feels abandoned and without guidance. Attempting to make things better, Kai, Rue's only sibling, invites her to a party that will change the course of her life forever.
What would you do if you suddenly realized that your entire life had been a lie? That those who loved you the most had fabricated a world to protect you from a damning truth? 
 
Blurb - Smoke and Mirrors - Book 2:
In book two the story takes a much darker turn. The rogue vampires are introduced as they try to destroy everything Rue holds dear. Rue is fighting her way back to reality after being abducted and forced to enter Valon, the ancient city to all vampires. Dark forces close in all around her as new enemies threaten to take everything she has ever known. 
Epic battles rage, new enemies are uncovered, and the deepest of loves may have to be sacrificed for survival.
Blurb - Oil and Water - Book 3:
We join Rue as she wakes up in a foreign place. She does not remember who she, how she got there or why her heart aches so badly. She also has a very bad feeling that if she gets well, something terrible will come of it. She struggles to get a grip on reality as new friends try their best to earn her trust, but old enemies bring with them memories of a life she has all but forgotten.
Once again she finds herself in a battle of epic proportions, only this time her greatest enemy is her own mind and what it will accept as truth.
Will she allow herself to move forward? or, will she fade into memory once and for all?
 
Blurb - Clarity and Reason - Book 4:
As Rue accepts the tragedies that have befallen her family, she finds it almost impossible to allow love back into her heart. Everyday she is maturing, coming closer to becoming a true protector. Closer to understanding her power and what she truly is. All the while some old enemies have now become strong allies, and some allies are not what they seemed to be.
Will she love again?
Will she take the final steps and accept her powers?
Or will she force them back into the books, locking them away forever?
 
Blurb - Grace and Beauty - Book 5:
In book five the story takes an even stranger turn for Rue and all of the characters you have grown to love. 

Jonathan suffers with a loss of such great magnitude he may never recover from it. Rue and Joshua try to cope with an ever growing Gracie. Theo try's to distract himself from his growing need for Jonah. 
Suddenly a darkness arises that forces them to become the family they were always destined to be.
 
Blurb - Hope and Faith - Book 6:
Rue faces the biggest obstacle in her path yet...herself.

Her power is so immense that she has weaved a safety net for everyone around her. She has created a new reality to ignore the truth. It is so impenetrable that she may not even be able to destroy it.
Their one true enemy has discovered their location afterbeing buried in the earth for decades. This new threat will join forces with anyone who harbors ill will towards Rue and her family.
Rue must wake up to reality and set things right.
Will she discover her true destiny in time?

Excerpt from Book 2 "Smoke and Mirrors":

"What the hell are you doing here?"
"Saving your ass." I said
"Yeah, looks like it." Josh said sarcastically.
"Oh shut up, we have to figure out how to get off this thing."
We slid a little and I squeezed my legs against his sides.
"Oh, this is sexy." he said with a growl.
"Oh my God! We are going to die here if you don't help." I yelled at him.
"Okay, okay...give me your blade." he said.
"What?"
"Give it to me." He said as he lifted his hand. I placed it in his hand and he quickly sliced it across my palm.
"Ouch!" I said. He grinned at me as we slid a little more down the mirror.
"Let me drink your blood, I'm weak." he said to me in a low tone.
I pressed my hand against his mouth and I felt his lips on my skin. The sudden hum in my body was an unneeded distraction. I tightened my legs as I straddled him and he groaned. He pulled my hand away from his mouth, smiling up at me.
"Could you not do that?" he said.
"Do what?" I asked him.
"Press down on me like that."
"I can't help it!" I cried out as I tightly wrapped my arms around his neck , we started to slide down further and further.
He grunted as he tried his best to push himself back up with me on top of him.
"This is not the way I wanted our first time to be." he said with a laugh.
"Oh my God, shut up!" I yelled as he did nothing but aggravate me as usual.

Review:

The Bitter End by Rue Volley
3 stars

Wow, did not see that, or that, or that coming!

This book starts out with an explosive event from near the end of the book, and then backtracks to the start to let you know how things got to where they ended. 
The story starts out with Bethany Bittermend (very appropriate name) a spoiled rich girl that has everything that money can buy &  then some, everything but her fathers love or approval. Beth's daddy Thomas Bittermend wanted a boy and heir, and having a vagina put Beth firmly out of heir status. Beth's father is cold, distant, and had no problem "doing" the help, no matter who saw or knew. All of this was too much for Beth's mother, and her death and prompt replacement with a woman Beth's age does nothing to help her relationship with her Father. The only person Beth has or trusts is her Best Friend (with benefits) Holland. Until, Ryan Blackwood enters her life. Ryan is an attractive walking hard-on/man whore, who has his fair share of emotional trauma and issues. 
This is a very dark and violent story of money, greed, lust, lies, sex, and murder (and no this is not a spoiler). The characters are down right unlikeable with little redeeming qualities.  You know from the beginning, and well the name of the book, that things are probably not going to end well, but I still found myself hoping differently. 
There was so many plot twists and turns that I didn't see coming, and a few that I had my suspicions about. It was a fast paced story and I wanted to know what can possibly happen next. The sex is not even close to mainstream and down right violent at times. I personally didn't find this aspect a turn on and kinda cringed when they came (no pun intended.)   Beth and Ryan do everything possible to hurt each other, emotionally and physically, especially when feelings neither wanted to have come into play. 
My one complaint for the book was the editing. At times (especially in the beginning) the writing was confusing and difficult to follow. I had a hard time with what was happening, the timeline of things,  or even who was talking. I found myself having to re-read sentences and paragraphs because I was confused on what was going on. 
Even with this, I was still intrigued enough to stick with it, and find out what messed up thing was going to happen next. 
The ending I never expected and I am curious to see what will happen in the next book.
