BLOODY RIGHT IS BLOODY FAN-DAM-TASTIC!!
Georgia Evans' third book in the trilogy lives up to the title ... BLOODY RIGHT!
The novel focuses on the story of the hero, Gryffyth Pendragon, recently returned home from the war (that's WW II), who lost part of his leg fighting the Nazis. Not only is Gryffyth a war hero, but he's also a dragon, something he's inherited from his father, who is also a dragon, living in sleepy little Brytewood. While Brytewood appears to be a quaint hamlet in the English countryside ... readers soon learn that "still waters run very deep" in this magical village.
While at a village dance, Gryffyth sees, and falls in love with, Mary LaPrioux, one of Brytewood's, "Others." Readers soon learn that Miss LaPrioux is not only a schoolteacher in the village, but also a Water Sprite. Gryffyth's and Mary's discovery of one another is not only sweet, but exciting and downright steamy as only one can imagine when a dragon falls in love with a water sprite.
But, all is not hearts and romance in this story as the vile Nazi vampires descend upon Brytewood to wage war against the unsuspecting villagers. Strange things begin happening as the evil Weiss and Schmidt plot their course of action in Brytewood. What follows is exciting, mystifying and downright terrorizing as the events unfold throughout Evans' latest book. It's truly a wild ride and a page-turner that keeps the reader in a thrill state until the last page of the book is turned, and read. In fact, it was such an exciting read for me that I was sad when I realized the story was over ... and yet ... the final page of BLOODY RIGHT seems to set the stage for another story as the reader learns what happens to Bela and Simon. The last line of Evans' book had me smiling for quite awhile, and in fact, helped take away the sting of sadness I'd felt upon the conclusion of her brilliant trilogy.
If I had to narrow it down to just one thing that I absolutely loved about the BLOODY series, I couldn't do it. I'd tell you that the dialogue is brilliant and witty, the setting seems so very real to me (a person who's not ever been to England and didn't live through the WWII years) and the romance is quite steamy. Another great aspect of this book is the fact that there's a few sub-plots involving other characters in the village that Evans weaves together seamlessly. In fact, the characters, whether they are part of the main plot or the sub-plot, all seem to dance with one another throughout the novel, which I particularly appreciated when you consider that Evans opened her story at a village social dance. It's those kinds of tie-ins that Evans' uses that makes the book such a smart story to read and enjoy. And when you consider this is a paranormal trilogy ... well, for a story line set in a time period that seems long ago, in a place far away, and focusing on mystical spirits and beings ... that's really quite brilliant. No ... it's BLOODY RIGHT! by Daphne Wedig -
"Bloody Right"
I have never been a fan of history and my book buying has changed from historical to contemporary to paranormal. So, imagine my surprise when reading a series of books based during WW II in England and enjoying them. Georgia Evans gives us glimpses into the lives of an English village during WW II. It was interesting to read about rationing, black outs, and the foods. One thing did startle me. I've always thought of the movie Gone with the Wind as being done in my lifetime, so imagine my surprise when they talk about seeing this movie and the women mooning over Clark Gable!
We've all heard and read about how romances fast forward during wars and this was played out in this series. In her books we read about families being torn apart and reforming and love lives developing. Delightfully, for me, these included the paranormal groups-dragons, pixies, water sprites, vampires (good and bad), were animals, and humans.
In this book, a dragon who had lost part of a leg while in the service returns home to find that his battles are not over yet. Imagine his surprise to discover vampires are in his village and a group of Others (him and his father aren't the only ones) are battling to defeat the bad vampire spies.
We were kind of left hanging at the end of this book with a fairy and a pixie trying to evade the Germans to safety. I sincerely hope this will lead us to more books in this series. by Deborah Barrettunder review
