<b>"This is storytelling at its best." - WENDY HIGGINS, <i>NYTimes</i> bestselling author of <>Sweet Evil</></b>
<P><h2>NO REST FOR THE WICKED . . . OR THE CURSED.</h2></p>
<b>SLATE</b>
I didn't mean to steal the Bloodstone from the De Morel's crypt.
Scratch that, I did mean to steal it.
Until I realized it was a curse-magnet that only comes off if I, along with a jolly trio, successfully defeat four curses.
If any of us fail, I'm dead.
I've never been a glass half-empty sort of person, but my glass looks in dire need of a refill right about now.
The only highlight of this wicked treasure hunt: feisty, entitled Cadence de Morel.
<b>CADENCE</b>
I was raised on tales of magic, in a small town reputed to be the birthplace of French witchcraft.
Did I believe all the stories I heard? Absolutely not. I mean, if magic existed, Maman wouldn't have died, and Papa wouldn't be stuck in a wheelchair, right?
<i>Wrong.</i>
The night Slate Ardoin waltzes into my life, wearing a ring he stole from my mother's grave, I call him a monster.
But then I meet real ones, and Slate, well . . . he becomes something else to me.
Something frustrating to live with but impossible to live without.
Something I will fight for, no matter the cost.
<I>*Warning: profuse cursing (and not just the magical kind).</I>

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The romance is sweet, enemies to lovers with plenty of tension and I hope they kick it up a notch in the next book.
I love the morally grey characters in this, it makes the plot so much more interesting. There is definitely something sinister going on and I can't wait for that reveal.
The setting is really cool too, very atmospheric, and it adds to the mystery and the danger.
🍀 Slate Ardoin is a skilled thief, who spent the majority of his childhood in dreadful care homes. Whilst Cadence De Morel was raised in the town of Brume reputed to be the birthplace of French witchcraft. Everything changes for both Slate and Cadence, when Slate steals a Bloodstone, he gets more than he bargained for. Not only does he get an expensive ring but also the endangerment it puts his life in 🍀
🍀 Ooohhhh what a start to a series 😃 this was a full-on, suspense filled, paranormal romance and what a delight. I was on the edge of my seat and I was so excited to keep turning pages to find out what was going on. Slate was sexy (maybe a new book boyfriend 😉), Cadence was cute ☺️ and Adrien was so annoying I was to throw him in a river 🙄 I love the idea that a world without magic doesn’t meant that it doesn’t exist 🤯 classic magic/found family/slow burn romance storyline and I am here for all of it 😁 I loved Slate, his arrogance and swagger are just a yes, and what a way to start meeting people (SPOILER) by robbing their family crypt 😂😂 And Rainer is definitely 100% evil and may not have shown it in this book but I am so excited to find out in book 2 😃😃

Of Wicked Blood follows Slate Ardoin who has not had the easiest childhood in the foster system but he has now made a comfortable life for himself. He was not expecting to find out that his parents did not abandon him as he once thought but that they died. He was not expecting to find out that they had left him money. The letter tells him he must go to the town of Brume to arrange settling these matters and he intends to do this as quickly as possible and get back to his own life. Is anything ever that easy? After some poor life choices on arrival in Brume he is in possession of a cursed ring that he stole from a family crypt and now needs help from that family to rid himself of it...AWKWARD.
Cadence de Morel is none too impressed with the man who looted her family crypt and yet it seems she will now have to help him as he has unwittingly set off a chain of events that no one was prepared for.
This book has it all:
1) Great characters that you can't help but love (or hate). The characters are well fleshed out and enjoyable to read about
2) Exciting plot that has you speeding through the pages. The story follows Slate, Cadence and Co as they try and rid Slate of his cursed ring and possibly complete a quest never before been achieved.
3) Budding romance between uptight and reserved Cadence and maverick Slate
4) Excellent humour that is very reminiscent of early season Buffy and very much to my taste
I received this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Since reading it I have purchased a physical copy from Amazon as this book needed to be on my shelves

It's no secret that Olivia crafts the most incredible stories and this one gave me some serious Relic Hunters/A Discovery of Witches vibes. The writing between Olivia and Katie was seamless and I loved the alternating POVs. I simply adored Brume and its mystic lore which provided the perfect setting for the Quatrefoil's quests. It really was a fantastic journey and I cannot wait to see where these two fabulous authors take us next!


One day Slate gets a letter and it turns out he is not a mystery boy with an unknown past or family but the long lost son of one of the founding families of a quaint little town called Brume. He was tracked down a few years ago by De Morel, the man in charge of his trustfond and his parents estate.
With the letter and a key, Slate goes to Brume. The fact that this man has known were he was for the last several years and basically left him to rot with awful foster parents and after that left alone to fend for himself does not sit well with Slate. Who wouldn’t after being kicked out of foster care when he had been protecting his foster brother one too many times.
To spite the man, he enter’s the De Morel’s family tomb to loot and steals a ring from the crypt of the man’s deceased wife.
But then the weird part begins. He can’t get the ring of. Not by any means. His finger bruised beyond measure, but there’s no way of removing the ring.
Upon confronting De Morel, he learns the ring is cursed and he has only a few weeks left to live if he doesn’t succeed to lift the curse.
What follows is an intriguing story about how four people, one of each of the founding families, need to work together to uncover their piece of the puzzle that will lift the curse.
Love it, great story, there’s romance as well and it evolves naturally, it’s not the knee-shaking instalove kind. I can’t wait for the second book.

Slate, OMG, Slate is 😍🤤🔥... You can't help it, you're going to love him so damn much!!! 🤗💞
Cadence is the perfect mix between innocent, soft, naive and fierce, strong, determined... She's perfect por Slate, they're perfect for each other 💞
What is also amazing about this book is the secondary characters, they complete the story so well, I can't picture it without them ☺️
The would building is, wow!!!... I could "watch" every detail as I was reading, like a movie in my mind 🤩
The plot is phenomenal, made me feel so much all the time, a mix of emotions that didn't let me stop reading, that had me captive evey chapter, falling harder for this beautiful masterpiece 😍💖
I feel like words can't really describe how wonderful this book is and how much I loved it, waiting for the next installment is going to be torture 😩😭
A MUST read book, for all fans of a fantastic, well written story ❤️
