The Tithing Blurb

An ancient curse. Two families bound. A forbidden love.
When the Wildbloods presented their daughters to me on the night of the Tithing, they knew what was to come for the chosen girl.
The crescent moon that marked Willow made her mine. I had no choice but to take her.
Destiny determined our fates long before we were born, laying our roles out for us.
A Sacrifice would be made. A Tithe paid. Only then would our families be free, at least until the next payment came due.
I would have done my duty as Penitent. I tried.
But no one counted on the lion falling in love with the lamb.
And loving Willow could cost me everything.


MY REVIEW


Willow and Azrael's families have a long, bloody history. He's a Delacroix of the IVI Society, who take a sacrifice from the Wildblood family. This time it's Azrael's turn to take a sacrifice from Willow's family, and her birthmark denotes she's the one to be taken. But what happens when he starts to develop feelings for his wife? Will he go through with the sacrifice that the curse demands?


Azrael is taking the sacrifice because it's expected of him, because he wants to protect his family, a family who may or may not welcome his new wife. He never expected to actually develop feelings for Willow, but now that he has, can he go through with the tithing? Can he really protect her from everyone, even his family?


It is so good being back with The Society again. If you haven't read the previous books, no worries, but you're missing out. This is a standalone, but it would probably be helpful to read them to find more about The Society and its complicated, violent history. Azrael and Willow are definitely enemies at the beginning of their arranged marriage, but it's patently obvious that feelings are going to be a problem for them, as they spark off each other immediately. Willow is an amazing character - loving, willing to sacrifice herself for the people she loves, but she's not weak willed or simpering in any way. Azrael may be alpha to the core, but he's equally loving and protective of his family, especially his sister, so it is inevitable they develop strong feelings for each other. There's a vein of mystery, both of the eerie paranormal and not, in their story, and I'm really impatient to find out more, as The Tithing ends on a cliffhanger. I have some strong ideas of what's going on, and ideas of just who is a villain, but I'll have to wait until October to find out, when The Penitent finds its way to my Kindle.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
