As someone who has enjoyed Donna Grant's previous works, I was excited to dive into this latest installment of the Skye Druid series. Though I haven't read the previous books in the series, I found myself a little lost at the start due to the extensive character arcs and overarching storyline. Despite this, I was still able to thoroughly enjoy the story of Carlyle and Song.

One of the things that stood out the most was how Grant has crafted a unique twist on Druids, magic, and lore. The world-building is rich and intriguing, keeping me engaged despite not having the full backstory of the previous books. The action scenes were fast-paced and captivating, which helped propel the story forward. Even without knowing every detail, the world felt immersive and exciting.

Carlyle and Song’s journey is a standout feature of this story. What I loved about their relationship was the slow burn. The narrative doesn’t rush them into love; instead, we see them evolve from enemies to reluctant allies, and eventually to lovers. This gradual development made their connection feel authentic, and the chemistry between them built slowly but surely over time. It took nearly 75% of the book before they reached the “spicy” moments, but the slow pacing made their eventual intimacy feel earned and natural.

This book made me eager to read the first five books in the series. I imagine their backstories and the overarching plot would deepen my appreciation for the characters and enhance my enjoyment of this installment. If you're a fan of rich world-building, magic, and character-driven plots, I highly recommend diving into this series.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Yet another great book by one of my favorite authors. Can't wait for the next one.

Author Donna Grant continues The Skye Druids series with another powerful fast-paced read containing multiple plots to keep her readers on their toes and shocked at the ending.

One of the intriguing things about the author is how she writes her book cover summaries giving you a tiny clue about which characters are involved. I always feel like I am guessing and am excited to see if I am right.

Finally, we get Carlyle's story. From day one I have been in love with his character. There was something about him that drew me to him finding his happy ending and him finding his beloved father. Readers will have a resolution in this book regarding his father. I wish I could say more but I don’t want to give away any of the fabulous storyline.

The main female character is his enemy Devon aka Song a trained London Druid assassin/spy. I have always been spellbound by her character from the few times she showed up in some of the earlier books to this series. It’s hard to imagine that someone so bad could have any good in her. I wonder if other readers will be as satisfied with how the author developed her character as I was?

I love the plot to this storyline… it’s filled with danger, learning to trust, shocking unexpected disappointments, and shocking turn of events for everyone which leads straight into another book where I am excited to know who the characters will be. There are some tantalizing situations that still need resolutions.

Wow. This story picks up where "Still of the Night" left off. I would recommend reading Still of the Night first, because then you will understand the background of Devon, aka Song, in this book. so many unexpected revealings, with wrapping up loose ends from the prior book and new reveals that hook you into eagerly awaiting the next novel in the Skye Druids series.

Donna Grant is always an instant by for me. I’ve been a fan of her series for almost a decade. She’s the queen of interconnecting worlds and stories. This is the latest book in the Skye Druids series in while is standalone I would not recommend reading this without reading the prior books. Can’t wait to see where she goes next.

I was hooked on this book from the beginning. Devon/Snow is such a unique individual. Her painful situation is a story unto itself. Adding the Knight's and the troubles in Skye turns the book into an edge of your seat read. The end was a mite creepy and leads into the next book in the series.

Blood Skye by Donna Grant is the next installment in the Skye Druids series. Carlyle is on a mission to find his father, who he believes is being held by The London Druids. But he is met by the London Druid’s assassin, Devon. He will need to maneuver carefully to complete his mission as he falls under their radar. Meanwhile, the evil presence in Skye is gaining ground as The Knights attempt to save their island. And we learn that Sabretooth, the cyber tech guru, has been hiding his true identity from The Knights for a good reason. This exciting tale weaves family dynamics, an evil power, deceit and romance together with just the right amount of magic to make it a fast read that leaves you wanting more.

In Blood Skye, Carlyle and Song (Devon) face dangerous circumstances as do Saber, Callum and Kirsi. Just when things appear to be looking up, we learn that Edie is still wreaking havoc. Then there are George, Thomas, Parker, and The Grey who are creating additional chaos. With new and ever increasingly malevolent characters and situations, the tension builds in this fast-paced novel. There is so much that remains unresolved. Donna Grant keeps upping the ante for the Skye Druids as they continue to battle evil. Can't wait until the next book in this series, After Midnight, to find out what happens next.

I don’t know what to say. I don’t want to give anything away. Secrets. Enemies to allies to lovers. Steamy.
A London Druid ends up in the hands of the enemy. Betrayed by the ones they have been fighting for. A Knight is looking for his father and learns more than ever expected. He kidnaps the Druid in hopes of finding out where his father is located.

*VOLUNTARILY READ AND REVIEWED FOR NETGALLEY *

This series gets more complex and interesting with every new installment. Evil is all around them. Just when they accomplish a win against bad guys another one takes there place.

“Resentment has long festered within the London Druids, directed at those on Skye.

Shocking revaluation and horrible secrets come to light.

“We’re a force unto ourselves,” Sabryn said. Rhona nodded. “That we are, and I don’t want any of you to forget it. None of us is alone. Look around the room. Take a hard look at those you have fought beside and those you will stand with in the future.

Just can’t wait to see what happens next.
