Wow, these chapters really left me wanting more. This is such a unique magic system, really cool. I'm certainly going to be buying the book and continuing. Thanks for the sample netgalley!

Thank you to NetGalley for the arc of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This book is based on the story of Anastasia, and has a heavily gothic influence which you can feel throughout the book. However, as much as I was anticipating this read, it fell a bit short for me...
The beginning of the story was strong, and the world building and characters were wonderful, but around the halfway point the story dropped off for me. This being said, it could have been because my reading tastes have changed and fantasy is not something I'm enjoying as much at the moment.

I would recommend this to anyone, of any age (despite being marketed in the YA category) who is looking to read an interesting and unique fantasy story. The world and the characters were lovely and I can't wait to see what Amelie comes up with next!

Certainly an intriguing beginning that made me want to pick up the book. I have since read and enjoyed it!

I was sent the first two chapters for review. This is a ya fantasy that grabs your attention from page one. Despite having little to read, I felt the anticipation of wanting to know more from page one. Ana, with a deadly ability, is a strong willed protagonist who knows what she wants. The world building was clear and the plot was well paced. The only thing left is for me to grab myself a copy and read the rest. I can already tell this will be a new favourite.

This was my type of book! The fact that I can state that with only reading two chapters says wonders! Its adventurous and gripping and I'll definitely be picking this up soon.

The first two chapters are very interesting. We get to know a bot about our MC, Ana, and the world, which is a Russian-inspired kingdom. it's only a two chapters preview but there are already hints about the plot, possibile allies (hello Quicktongue) and Ana's deadly power, and I really want to know more.

Damn... What a brilliant chapter sampler! I love the raw contrast between the two main characters and how they have to work together despite their differences!

I will be purchasing the book, as 2 chapters in, I am officially invested.

From the chapter sampler, I'm guessing the rest of the book will include a hate to love romance, the main character becoming more powerful and becoming one with her "blood magic" and A LOT of flashbacks! I can't wait!

Blood Heir, based on the few introductory chapters sent by the publisher is a fast-paced and exciting read which engages the reader from the first page.

I loved the cover of this book, it attracted me straight away and I started it without any expectations, and it really exceeded them! I loved the main character, really related to them in many ways and the story just drew me in

The sample that I was luck enough to read for this book had me immediately hooked! Blood Heir definitely kicks off on an interesting note and I can't wait to see if the momentum continues. I will absolutely be purchasing a copy to devour.

I was gripped from the very first scene. The description of the bleak prison conditions are gruesome and wonderful. Ana, the main female protagonist, has very interesting magical powers and she is not all she appears to be - I’m really looking forward to learning more about her. Ramson Quicktongue is dark, mysterious and very intriguing and I definitely want to see more of him.

The first few chapters are fast-paced and intense, drawing you straight into the action. I absolutely raced through these introductory chapters and it left me crying out for more. What an amazing teaser sample this is, I’m completely hooked. Not to mention at the end of the two chapters we are left with a cliffhanger (quite literally), I need to buy this book right NOW.

I’m giving it 5 stars purely based on the first two chapters, which blew me away. Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for this sampler copy. I just wish there had been more!

Wow. I'm lost for words. I had the pleasure of reading the first two chapters and I'm really sad there isn't anymore to read. I was hooked from the first page - Ana has a very interesting power that I'm dying to find out more about, and I can see myself liking Quicktongue.

Best two chapters I've read for a while!

Right, now I'm going to buy the book so I can read more.

I had access to the first 2 chapters of this via Netgalley. Wow. The first chapters of this story had me hooked and drawn in instantly! The pace and intensity was so much that by the time I reached the end I realised I was holding my kindle very tightly! The main character Ana was intriguing and I really need to know more about her powers and backstory. A gripping and roaring first chapter - I'll be seeking this book out to find more.

A very interesting start and now I wanna read the rest of the Story. It is so mean to just have the first two chapters. After finishing those two I bought the book to read further.

I was only given the first two chapters of this book as a sample, but I’ve never wanted to read something more in my life. The start of the book was action packed and immediately had me hooked.

The writing was elegant and easy to follow, and I want to learn more about this world and the characters. I will definitely be reading the rest of this book.

This was such a tease! Solid world building and some interesting characterisation and then leaving us wanting more!
