From Goodreads:
Forty-six. That’s how many hybrids survived the Hunter attack in the woods after I revived them with an injection of my blood. That’s how many followed me home to Frederick Falls. And that’s how many were now mentally linked to me through a blood bond.
Two days. Three valium. Fourteen hours of sleep.
That’s what it took to realize I wasn’t losing my mind as a result of the noise in my own head.
Sixteen.
That’s how many days have passed since I almost killed Alex. That’s how many days I’ve sat by his bedside, waiting for him to wake up. To ease the guilt, to understand his betrayal, to remember the exact shade of brown in his eyes.
Zero.
That’s my chances of skating by with Gordon Steppe and the Hunter Council. They want me for questioning. I’m afraid what’ll happen if I give them answers.

The Dirty Blood series is one I started so long ago, back when I first started blogging. It’s a beautiful shifter romance and I honestly don’t know why I didn’t finish the series back then. In a bid to catch up on my unfinished series, I finally picked Blood Rule up. This is the fourth book in the series, so there may be some slight spoilers for the previous books in the series.

I am so glad that I finally picked up Blood Rule. I forgot how completely addictive and fantastic this series is. I was immediately thrown back into this world of werewolves and hybrid wolves. This book is dark and dramatic, right from the start with Tara and Wes in danger, preparing for war and doing their best to save the hybrid wolves. Tara is coming to terms with being the alpha of these dangerous wolves, and having a mental bond with all of them is taking its toll on her.

I enjoyed every moment of this book. It’s a very quick read sitting at only 226 pages. I pretty much devoured the entire book in one sitting. It is fast paced and action packed and it had me on the edge of my seat dying to know what was going to happen next. Heather Hildenbrand is such a fantastic author. She really sucks you in and has you ridiculously anxious about what is going to happen, in the best way possible. I read the earlier books in this series almost 10 years ago but somehow, without re-reading as well, Heather jogged my memory superbly and made me feel like it was only yesterday I was reading those books.

Blood Rule was a fantastic instalment in an incredible series. The ending of this book left me completely reeling and I can’t wait to see what is going to happen next, in the final book of the series. While I won’t be jumping straight in (as I am not a binge reader), I will definitely be picking up the final book in this series within the next month or so. I can’t wait! If you love shifter romance novels then I highly recommend you to pick up this series.
