A Steeping of Blood (Blood and Tea, 2)

"Brewed to perfection.” —Rebecca Ross, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals

After the jaw-dropping ending of #1 New York Times-bestseller A Tempest of Tea, Hafsah Faizal crafts a deliciously twisty and seductive sequel that will leave readers breathless until the very last page. A romantic vampire fantasy novel for fans of Immortal Dark and Heartless Hunter.

Arthie Casimir has had her tea. Now she's out for blood.

White Roaring is sharpening its fangs after the deadly night that left the city in shambles. The press are dead, the public is calling for justice, vampires are in danger, and amid the turmoil, the Ram announces a celebration.

Still reeling from the bloodshed, Arthie Casimir has no time to mourn the death of anyone, let alone her own. She has no time for love, either, even though it had saved her life. As Arthie navigates new emotions and new allies, she must reassemble her scrambled crew and scrape what little they have left to fight one last time—and she will need to face the ghosts of her past to do it.

In Ceylan.

A book breaks you and makes you cry = it was amazing and I was invested. A book breaks you AGAIN and makes you cry AGAIN = ...stares at the author... I TRUSTED YOU!!! A bandit of misfits take on something so much bigger than just some heist. Sprinkle in lots of vampires and boy do we have a story! The author does too good a job of emotionally connecting us to the characters. I almost predicted the 1st shock, but thought "Surely she wouldn't do THAT." And I was wrong. Very wrong. Enter the 2nd prediction. Again, cautiously dismissed. "Absolutely no way she would do that to me." And yet again, I was very wrong. This book will forever be known as the first book to make me cry twice.
