Book Review: Blood Freed by Traci Douglass

Book 2 of the Blood Ravagers, “Blood Freed” takes off where “Blood Bound,” the first book ended. Liz Frost, the twin sister of Anna (from the first book), takes center stage with Dex MacCallahan, disgraced wolf shifter and current bartender at Seven.

In the grand tradition of romantic paranormal thrillers, Liz and Dex were sent in a quest to find the information to finish the Oracle Binding Ceremony which will protect the territory of the Blood Ravagers Biker Gang.

There is one tiny problem though. Dex is undergoing the monthly wolf rut brought about by a full moon. And with sparks of attraction between Liz and Dex, being together on the road might not be a good idea.

Blood Freed (Blood Ravagers Book 2)” felt like an R Rated Nancy Drew with lots of clues for the quest interspersed with steamy scenes. Together with paranormal violence, this book is definitely Rated M for Mature. But, don’t worry, it is an easy read. And if you are familiar with Denver, Chicago and specially New York, you will actually recognize landmarks from these cities. This is a well-researched book!

Description

Elizabeth “Liz” Frost has always been the wild one. But now, with a niece or nephew on the way and her promise to become half of the new psychic Oracle team for the Blood Ravagers Biker Gang, she’s ready to turn over a new leaf. And what better way to start than by answering the call when gang leader Dante needs help? Her mission: to travel cross-country to get the information the gang needs to complete the Oracle Binding Ceremony. Should be easy, right? Except for the incredibly tempting lone-wolf shifter named Dex who’ll be her riding partner and protector on the journey.

Dexter “Dex” MacCallahan is tasked with guarding Liz Frost, one of the gang’s beautiful and bewildering new psychics. Dex can’t refuse the mission, but there’s one small problem. The time of his Rut is approaching, a rare occurrence where male wolf-shifters must physically bond with their chosen mate or face certain insanity and death. It could cost him not only the new life he’s built, but also his battered, scarred heart.

Together, Dex and Liz must search for the information they need before his old nemesis and a rival gang annihilates all they hold dear. But when the simmering chemistry between them boils over into searing hot passion, will they risk losing their hearts to save the ones they love?
