Blood Red Roses — Alannah Carbonneau

Lexie and Christian continue their journey together in Blood Red Roses. This is the Second novel to The Curse of Bound Blood. With the blood bond now broken, Lexie is forced to rediscover her identity without Lukile's hidden presence in the back of her mind. In a matter of minutes, the girl Lexie knew herself to be no longer existed. Months pass without word from Lukile as Lexie rebuilds herself with Christian, ever faithful, at her side until the unthinkable happens. In the dark of the night, Lukile pounces like the predator he is, sweeping Lexie up and transporting her away to a remote destination far away from Christian where he hopes to make her fall in love with him, but his plans plummet as Lexie grows unexplainably ill. Slowly, without reason or explanation, Lexie's body begins the slow descent into death. In this enthralling sequel, choice is void and fate is employed, as Lexie becomes what she was always meant to be.
