Publisher's summary

Once upon a time, humankind ruled the world while lycans and vampires lived in secret.
This is no longer that time.

Calina

I have 36 hours to live.
Thirty-six hours to find a solution.
Thirty-six hours to kill them all.

My friends. My family. My subjects.

It's a cruel fate, one my maker subjected me to over a century ago when she placed me in this hell. I learned then that freedom is a falsehood. Escape doesn't exist. I'm a ticking time bomb, slated to erupt.

Until he appears from above. A vampire. A walking god with icy blue eyes. He claims to be our salvation, but I see him for who he really is - the devil in disguise.

Jace

I don't want to be king, but I'll become one if it means I can have her - the gorgeous ice queen I found waiting for me inside Lilith's labs. She feigns indifference, claiming I do nothing for her, but I see the embers stirring in her stunning hazel eyes.

Only there's more to her than a pretty little face.
She's neither vampire nor lycan.
An immortal without a classification.
A secret I must now contain in a world collapsing in chaos.

Welcome to the new beginning.
My name's King Jace. Allow me to be your guide....

Incredible Continuation

Y’all, when I say that I never thought Ms Foss could make me fall in love even more than I already am…she did it! And she did it perfectly! She wove this spell around me and I couldn’t stop (nor did I want too). I want this series to continue ForEver!
Ryder is still my man, but I can see why sooo many readers love Jace so desperately. He is truly a magnificent character. Calina is his perfect match, Ms Foss’s magic yet again.
I will give this warning again, Do Not Start reading at Kingly Bitten. While each book of this series is about different characters, the World they are living in is the same. So you will have major spoilers reading the series out of sequence.
Highly recommend reading/listening to this series

story kept you hanging

Some great storytelling, it kept you hanging at parts but not in a way that was unbelievable. I was hooked from book 1 and just had to know how it was going to end. I need book 6 to come out soon so I can find out what happens next with my favorite characters, (which is all of them lol).

Wow!!! What a twist!!!

The narrators in this audio are nothing short of amazing! This book picks up where Rebel Bitten (the fourth installment of Blood Alliance series) left off. This is a decadent and dark romance filled with action, sex and the building of trust within relationships that kept me listening.

I have been waiting for Jace, one of the most ancient vampires, to be the focus of his own story and it’s finally here with his new love interest, Calina. His character was only touched upon in the previous books and he is everything that I hoped he would be! Lexi has such a talent of describing the scenes and bringing these characters to life as though you are experiencing the story first hand.

The resistance, Jace, Damien, Darius, Ryder, Kylan and their mates continue to try to solve the mystery of whom the Liege is that Lilith has been sending programmed correspondence to. When the final pieces of this puzzle is assembled, everyone was in for a shock, Including myself!! What a turn of events!

I can’t wait for the next installment, Cruelly Bitten to be released! I only hope it’s sooner rather than later, I need to see how this whole thing unfolds!

Heartwarming and enthralling

As always Sara and Kale did an amazing job narrating this story and did it justice. This novel pulled on the heart strings but man was it delicious. King Jace finally met his match with this intelligent but broken heroine. And man is there chemistry between these two. I loved the dark humor that this series brought from the very first novel. This is one of my top favorite series!!! Can’t wait for more!

Addictive read / world ...

If you enjoy supernatural, dystopian-y reads on the darker side, you NEED this completely addictive world.

Foss’s writing only seems to get better and better, if that’s even possible. Calina is such a great female lead, having been basically programmed, yet still free-thinking.

Once again, I couldn’t help but admire Foss’s style … now that I’m 5 books into this series, I found myself reminiscing about the fact that I’ve been submerged in this incredibly dark world … yet there is always light to be found. She has this way of painting things to be incredibly dark … but as you read on—and it could take multiple books to get to this point—you realize it really isn’t all that dark. That was more world-building to show you the climate, etc. but there are admirable, lovable (yummy) heroes & heroines in the process of bringing about the needed change and things really have been looking better from the very beginning … even if you didn’t see it at the time. (Midnight Fae Academy comes to mind here as well. READ IT!!)

Utterly brilliant.

While enjoying this one, it occurred to me that I absolutely need to re-read this entire series. I’m not a re-reader, but I think going back now, I’ll appreciate the experience at least as much as the first time around, if not more. This is one that won’t get old and I expect I’ll notice more little things that I hadn’t the first time.

5 stars for epic world-building and great writing.
5 stars for re-readability.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️


ALL the stars.
I’ll be DYING until I can read on in this incredible world.

Audio:
The audio is really great. Sarah’s accent still trips me up quite a bit, which is another reason I need to re-read. I think I miss things while being distracted trying to figure out what she actually said. Her voice is beautiful and her performance is on-point. She just doesn’t pronounce things 100% perfectly. Little things, but they can change up the message and make me need to mentally catch up.

Kale is perfect, nice voice, great performance, smooth delivery.
Still: a 5-star performance, overall.

Sexy and unique installment of the Blood Alliance series

Another excellent installment of the Blood Alliance series! But Calina and Jace aren’t like many of the other couples we have met previously. Yes, she is strong willed, and doesn’t quite conform or fully understand the « rules » she is supposed to follow in the world of vampires and lycans - a headstrong and beautiful woman is always at the center of who catches the eye of the MMC. But Calina is brilliant - the head researcher in one of Lilith’s labs, but also one of her most successful experiments, and the subject of years of abuse and torture by her maker. But now Lilith is dead, and protocols are in place to protect the lab and everything they have done there - it must be destroyed, along with Calina. Except, if Lilith is dead, could she just not comply?

Jace is an awesome alpha vampire. He is strategic and logical, and their plans are coming together now that Lilith has been taken out by Ryder and Willow. But they can’t show their cards yet, and they need to find where she kept all of her info - they need to find Cam and really get the revolution moving. But Jace didn’t take into account Calina. She is his match in every way. Not only is she beautiful and intriguing, she is brilliant, and has the same strategic, logic mind that he has, which turns him on even more than her appearance does. It’s also very fun to see the reactions others have as things unfold and Jace becomes more and more entangled with the woman, when he has never been one for monogamy in the past. Their back and forth, sizzling chemistry and passion, and strategic thinking make them a force to be reckoned with. And there is plenty of steam, as usual.

There’s also a thread here that is a bit interesting, and different. We have transmissions happening that are from Lilith - recorded before her death - to a mysterious « Liege ». Someone who is supposedly at the head of the operations she has been running, someone who is clearly an elder who has seemingly been sleeping until recently, and is now being informed of everything that has been happening and how to proceed. There are hints at who this could be throughout, but the final reveal is maybe not exactly surprising, but there is a very intriguing twist that is an excellent set up for the next book. I like the direction it will take us, and am looking forward to the next chapter in the series!

As with all of Lexi’s book, the narration is top notch. Absolute perfection. These are fantastic narrators, and you will not go wrong with this audiobook.

Great story and narrators!

I love all of Lexi's book. Always so much action and steam. Calina is a strong character from start to finish. She is extremely smart and logical. Jace sees the benefit of keeping Calina just for what she know at first then more latter on. love this series! Sarah Puckett is really of my go to favorite narrator! I love the emotions she put into the characters voices. Same with Kale Williams. I love how he brings characters to life. Kale is my favorite male narrator!
