Holy cliffhanger, Batman. I have been waiting to get my hands on this book since I finished the first. I have truly enjoyed the plot and characters. This one isn’t as fast paced as the first, but maybe it’s because of the gratuitous sex this one is giving. 😂 I mean, what’s a vampire book without blood and lust?! Here for it. I am completely sucked in to Ellie’s world. I love the way she has been interacting with Bloodstone/Keeley and am curious to see how that aspect of the story plays out as well. Can’t wait for book 3.

V.E. Huntley's Atonement is a beautifully crafted and emotionally rich novel that captivated me from the very first page. Huntley's writing is both lyrical and deeply moving, drawing the reader into a world of complex emotions, deep regrets, and the powerful search for redemption.

The characters are incredibly well-developed, each one layered with realistic flaws and relatable struggles. Their journeys are portrayed with such honesty that it’s impossible not to feel deeply invested in their outcomes. Huntley has a rare talent for exploring the intricate bonds between love, guilt, and forgiveness, all while maintaining a gripping pace that kept me turning the pages late into the night.

What sets Atonement apart is the profound emotional resonance it carries. Huntley doesn’t just tell a story — she makes you feel every moment of it. The themes are handled with sensitivity and depth, making this a truly unforgettable read.

Atonement is a powerful reminder that healing is possible even after the deepest wounds, and that hope can be found even in the most unexpected places. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys thought-provoking, heartfelt fiction.

V.E. Huntley is clearly a remarkable storyteller, and I can’t wait to read more of her work.

The second book in the BloodStone legacy will suck you right back into Aden and Ellie’s world with its fast paced and intriguing storyline about a love that even death cannot stop. This book was very fast-paced and enjoyable and not only do you develop a love for the main characters, you also fall for the side characters as their roles in Aden and Ellie’s story is explored more. This steamy and gripping story set in a dystopian world was such a good read and I could not put it down! The cliffhanger at the end of the book has me on the edge of my seat for the next book!

Atonement is a steamy, gripping and thrilling read that follows on from “Damnation” (book 1 in The BloodStone Legacy series)
V.E Huntley has done an amazing job with this series, her world building and character development peaked my interest very early on in the series. Ellie and Aden’s story is spicy, beautiful, broody and full of lust.
V.E Huntley has done a fantastic job in building up anticipation for book 3, the plot twist at the end of the book had me gripping my seat- I love books that end on a cliff hanger and leave you wanting more.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this advanced copy.
