Cupid's Venom

Cecilia was down but not out. I loved this book. How Cecilia took to Tug, Rory and Clayton was amazing. She went through a terrible ordeal and though she came out altered. She is strong and kind, able to love and laugh! She has an innocent caring soul.

This book ROCKS!

We are finding out more about the evil that they face. And it is frightening! I am rooting for them to hold on and find a way to win! More please. PLEASE!!!!

This is the 4th book in the "Running in Fear" series Cecelia and most of her family were held prisoner and experimented on by injecting them or mating them with other species shifters. She escapes. She finds her mates. They help to break up the labs that held her. There are a lot of bdsm scenes. There were a lot of twists and turns. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

If you're a Trinity Blacio fan you'll enjoy this book. Shorty and erotic it's book four of the Cupid series.

This is Book 4 in the Running in Fear Series. We meet Cecilia as she is running away from one of the labs that the “other” National Council is involved in. She has been in captivity for a while being experimented on and now she has some snake DNA. She meets her 3 mates and it’s an experience! There’s a lot going on and it’s all very hard for her to deal with. She’s a strong woman who learns how to handle her mates but it’s not easy. I really enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to find out what else happens in the next book! I voluntarily chose to read a copy of this book that I received from Netgalley.

A very interesting set of characters. Good overall writing.

A nice addition to the series but not my favorite as there was not much action as in the other books other than that a good read.As usual its well written with fantastic characters cannot wait for the next one.

Great addition to this series. Cecilia has managed to escape captivity and is on the run and happens to find her three mates. Can her mates protect her from her previous captures? This is a quick read with lots of suspense with plenty of steam. I really liked it.

I'll say this don't expect not to read about Jaycee and her 3 mates in this one, Jaycee plays a big role with Cecilia and vice versa. Her family and Cecilia was kidnapped at 16 and held for 6 years by a council member' orders to make their 'super shifter'. She escaped and ran and she gotten as far as Remi and Tug Kink club. Everyone from the past 3 books is there, as a reference Jaycee is really popped out with her triplets. Cecilia is almost like Jaycee with their shared pained filled history, dealing with powers that is new, finding not just one but 3 mates, two - Tug and his friend Rory and a powerful council member Clayton. Her secrets will be revealed, a piece of her is out there finding a way back through his means, the evil snake man that wants her for breeding chasing her and on top of it all she can't mate with her men since she is half snake and had fangs with poisonous venom. What can a girl do....

overall enjoyed this book though the 1st half much more than the 2nd half. the characters were interested and you are quickly pulled into the story. the heroine at times acted a little childish (but then she was only 22 and had been held prisoner in a secret lab being experimented on since 16 so understandable to a point). as to the why I enjoyed the 1st half better is that the story moved along at a good pace and the plot was interesting but that was suddenly wrapped up as they defeated the bad guy in a figurative snap of the fingers off page which meant the tension that had been building instantly deflated like a souffle falling rather than with a bang. the conflict for the remainder of the book felt forced due to lack of communication and childishness (and not just from the primary heroine but from others as well) not once but repeated as a way to create unneeded conflicts btwn the primary characters and create a reason for "making up".

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review. Another good book in this series. Cecilia has been held captive and experimented on for six years before her escape. She is stronger than she realizes and then meets her two mates, Rory and Tug and then a third mate comes into the picture. The story is well conceived but it has grammatical errors. It is a good book and I would recommend it.

ARC - I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
Cecilia just escaped a prison where she was treated worst than cattle.
She lived in fear in that prison.
The she meets her mates.
They sworn to protect her + always keep her safe.
Tug, Rory + Clayton were total Alpha males.
They had very strong personality, but they treated Cecilia like a princess.
She didn't know, but she had them right at the palm of her hand.
They were sort of mush around Cecilia.
Great storytelling!

This book was a great read for this series. I was not that into it like I have been of the past 3 but it was interesting to read of this knew shifter species. The next book involves Dragon shifters so that looks promising.

Cupid’s Venom by author Trinity Blacio is the fourth book in the Running in Fear series. I have not read the series in order, and I was not lost with this book. I super loved this one. There is great character connection and lots of feels for me to really sink into.
Cecelia has been captive for a long time. She has some PTSD form it. She never expected to find her mate. Let alone find more than one.
Tug, Rory, and a powerful council member named Clayton they are all alpha protective males. I liked that each is distinct and they have their own personalities. I also like they really are what Cecelia needs. They really give her freedom to be herself.
Over all great addition to what I have read, and great moving forward for this series. I would love to read more and see what happens next.

Five Shooting Stars

Cupid Venom by trinity blacio.
Six years of living in a cell sure can be hell on a girl. After escaping, all Cecilia wanted to do was die, but unfortunately the snake DNA that had been injected into her wouldn’t let her, and either will her new mates.Tug Brimstone was an alpha wolf by nature, but even he wasn’t as powerful as his alpha, Remi LeBlathe. Happy to be the new headmaster in their jointly owned BDSM nightclub, Tug wasn’t looking for anyone, but fate had another plan for him. In less than two days, he finds he has three mates, two of whom are part snake and part wolf, and now he’s tempting fate by injecting snake DNA into his own body so he can mate with them.Rory Sherwood is mate to Tug Brimstone, Clayton Glands, and Cecilia Windstream. How can one tiny female who has been beaten, experimented on, and a virgin, overwhelm him to the point where he forgets his own name, and get him to change his DNA, just so he can mate with her?Clayton Glands, the muscle behind the National Council of Wolf shifters, has hidden a family secret all his life, but in less than 24 hours he has found his mates, exposed his secret, and gained a son.In a one-week time span, three alpha males --Tug, Rory, and Clayton -- must protect their female from the scientists she had escaped. Not only is her life in danger, but also her son’s, and the future of every shifter around. The war against good and evil is coming to a head and their journey is just part of the story to come.
An absolutely fantastic read with brilliant characters. I love this series. Can't wait for next part. Made me laugh and cry. 5*. Netgalley and Riverdale avenue books.

I really loved it.This is the best book of the series yet. I am so looking forward to more in the series. I recommend this book
