A Steeping of Blood
"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.

3.5 ⭐rounded up I went into this with lots of hope after the strong setup in book 1. In many ways, this delivers what it says: more vampires, more stakes, and more tension. Arthie remains as clever and resourceful as ever and I really enjoyed getting to explore more of the world with a visit to Arthie's home country with her found family. The character development for the rest of the crew was also a highlight and added some great emotional depth. That said, I was able to predict a few twists before they happened and the ending felt a bit lacking in the resolution. Overall, it was a fun read and I would recommend picking it up if you liked book 1 but keep in mind that it might test your patience a bit. Thanks to MacMillian Audio for the gifted audiobook!
