Bad Bloods November Rain Review

Bad Bloods November Rain by Shannon A. Thompson

Seventeen-year-old Serena isn’t human. She is a bad blood, and in the city of Vendona, bad bloods are executed. 

In the last moments, before she faces imminent death, a prison guard aids her escape and sparks a revolt. Back on the streets determined to destroy her kind, Serena is spared by a fellow bad blood named Daniel. His past tragedies are as equally mysterious as her connection to them.

Unbeknownst to the two, this connection is the key to winning the election for bad bloods’ rights to be seen as human again. But Serena is the only one who can secure Vendona’s vote. 

Now, Daniel must unite with her before all hope is lost and bad bloods are eradicated, even if it means exposing secrets worse than death itself. United or not, a city will fight, rain will fall, and all will be threatened by star-crossed love and political corruption.

First Thoughts

I was surprised I even picked this book to read, it's not the kind I would usually read. This book starts off very slow, and at some points is all over the place, so you have to do some thinking as you read. But if you look past that, or can get over that, it's a really good read that leaves you wanting more (because it leaves you on a cliffhanger) So here is my honest review of this book.

Review

Yes, this book is slow, but the plot is so good and the characters are well developed. Once you get to the middle, you get a bit more of the action, and you're yelling at the characters, to tell them what to do. When you get there you're easily hooked, and you have the yearning to find out what happens next.

Just as you get into the book, it ends, ON A CLIFFHANGER. That bugged me, but now that I look at it, it was kind of a good idea, because now you want/have to read the next book to find out what happens next. The other downside to the cliffhanger is that it stops right in the middle of the climax.

There also aren't very many swoon-worthy moments in this book, but there are supposed to be some in the next book. 

Overall this book has the action and suspense that gets us all rilled up, and makes us keep reading, and will make a great next book to read.
