Waiting is fuckin over....as I finished reading highly expected sequel
Blood & vows
Bella J has done it again...
*my bows*
The conclusion to Castello & Tatum's story...is as dark as it can possible be, it's heavy in subject and suffocatingly crippling, it's triggering, challenging and sometimes disturbing and yet I found the spark of light, just like they did while pushing through the limits of their existence, seeking sense and meaning in the accumulated pain, gore, betrayal and lies... a ...more

In book 1 Blood & Lies Castello had a plan…
“Kidnap the golden girl of the Linscott family, then lure her father straight down to the hell I had specially prepared for both of them. And once I had my fun, extracted every last drop of revenge I craved from them, they would pay the ultimate price with their lives.”
But somehow Tatum gets under Castello’s skin and his plans change. Which brings us to book 2 Blood & Vows. The conclusion to Castello & Tatum's story and it is dark, sexy and delicious. ...more

I received a copy and voluntarily left an honest review.
If you, like me, found yourself deeply invested in Tatum and Costello from Blood & Lies, the first book in the Twisted Duet, and wondered if there were any secrets left to unearth and anymore twisted desires to be played out between these two, never fear. Bella J. is back with the completion of their story in Blood & Vows and ready to seduce us to go further into the web of deceit and betrayal weaved around the Fattore family to watch the ...more

Blood & Vows (A Twisted Duet bk2) by Bella J
The best plans sometimes fail. Castello’s plan was supposed to be simple, kidnap Tatum and satisfy his blood thirsty revenge in honor of his dead brother Carlo and father. Instead he found himself consumed by her and wanting to protect her. In doing so he created a divide in his family. His malicious brother Vico, has decided he wants to be the next Capo boss and is rattling the feathers of his business connections. Can Castello be the Capo boss while ...more

This is the stunning conclusion to Tatum and Castello's story. This book was another gripping can't put it it down hot read!
Part two was filled with just as much darkness, lies and treachery as the first book. Not really knowing the truth until the end.

The plan was simple kidnap the girl and have blood thirsty revenge. If you read book one you will know even the best plans fail.
The lies and deceit continue to run through this duet and family loyalties and sides are a big part of the plot as Castello goes up against his brother.

It seems like forever since I’ve been with Castello! It doesn’t matter how long it’s been, once he’s back, it’s as if he never left!
After the fiasco at the end of book One, I didn’t know what to expect. I mean with a mother like Castello’s mother, who needs enemies! That woman is cray-cray for real! Read Blood & Vows, vol 1, people!
Blood & Vows vol 2 definitely lives up to its name! This story is heavy on mafia intrigue and action, thank the book gods! B&V is a true mafia story with a taste of d ...more

Blood and Vows is the end of the Twisted Duet and I fell out of bed with the aww of it all. At the end of the first book, I knew there was quite of bit that needed to be answered and I wanted the answers right away. But Bella kept me hanging throughout the story, so don't think you will get them right away.
If you think Castello is all soft-hearted you could not be more wrong. He is even darker I think in this book, probably because he has more to protect. His queen is in ne ...more

We loved the conclusion to this well crafted tale.
The story got hotter and more intriguing and one that tore a family apart and pitted brother against brother.The story was also about revenge and love and forgiveness and righting the wrongs of ones past but, most of all it was about protecting all that you love and held dear and showing all just how dangerous and powerful Castello was to his enemies.

Bella J left us dumbfounded, amazed, and anxious at the end of Blood & Lies. The conclusion of the story of Castello and Tatum could not have been more intense, depraved with a plot twist like none other.
Castello has taken over his mafia family that has suffered a split with some preferring to join his rival brother Nico. The plan to kidnap torture and make Tatum a pawn in his game was obliterated once Castello realized she was the little mouse he would refuse to ever let leave his trap. This st ...more

Tatum and Castello's stormy love story continues in Bella J's new novel, Blood and Vows and their story becomes even more turbulent and sexy in Bella J's final strokes of her series A Twisted Duet.
You have to read the first book in the series, Blood and Lies, before reading Blood and Vows.

~~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review~~~~~~~~~~~
Castello went to war with his brother and killed his mother for his "little mouse". Tatum was kidnapped, beat and abused by Castello but he also owned her body and soul and knew exactly what she needed. Castello brought her to life and she never wants anyone but him but will he keep her forever? Oh wow what can I say about this book? It was truly one of the best dark romances I have ever read.

Oh my goodness!!! I had my finger on the purchase button the moment this book was available and just could not stop reading until I was done. This story had it all from hate to love, kidnapping, evil family members, etc. you name it and it was there.
I said in in my review with Blood and Lies and I will say it again..... Bella J. ...... YOU ROCK!!!

Book 2 completed the story of Tatum and Costello. All I can say is WOW! You never saw that happening. In the first book you saw how Tatum and Costello loved to hate they brought out their dark side. This one they help each other tame the beasts. This book is dark and might offend some but I loved it and will be reading more by this author. I still can't believe the twist. I never saw it coming!

BLEW ME AWAY.!!!!!!! So this book starts exactly from where we were left with Castello and Tatum in Blood and Lies. Now that Castello has proven his passion for Tatum by declaring war on his own family, Castello and Tatum find themselves fall deeper, harder and fiercely for each other. Ohhhhhhh my.... my heart... Even though some of things they like to do are questionable and definitely not sane yet the passion and intensity of their feelings is undeniable. Castello has declared Tatum as his que

5+ little mouse stars!! A spine tingling, goosebumps inducing conclusion!! I loved every second of this book, and Castello was even more dominant, possessive and protective than ever before! I swooned at the way he loved Tatum so deeply! It was as if he wanted to crawl into her and just live there forever! This book was jaw dropping and had me on the edge of my seat!

Wow! As I was hoping, Blood & Vows was just the right conclusion for this terrific duet.
It was a thrilling story and certainly a terrific addition to this gritty, extremely dark, heart-pounding read. It was an addictive story, and brilliantly told, it had me gasping and flipping those pages as quick as I could read, wanting to know what was coming next.

Sometimes the biggest enemy it's at your own house! I couldn't even imagine where Bella J would of takes us with this last book.... And to the end of the hell to Tatum it has.
But in the end a king and a Queen have born more strong, powerful.
I hope to read more about this couple one day I think they still have something to say...

Book 2 of this duet was just as dark and twisted as the first book of the series. Both novels were based upon "a perceived perception" of what the actual truth was vs. reality. The story was crafted in a way that everything Castello thought happened or was happening was a complete lie when it came to his family. He was constantly being out-played by his family in book 1 and continued that pattern in book 2. I found his character to be extremely dark, ruthless and malicious, who loved inflicting

This is the second book of the series and it’s better than the first! Intense, drama very shocking crazy messed up family that leaves you with your mouth hung up asking what did I just read. It stars off right where the last book ended and what a rollercoaster ride it is. Will Tatum ever be safe and able to leave? Will Castello open up his hart will the darkness be overflowing with him forever? The close to the ending of this book totally shocked me and gutted me. Definitely one of my favorite m

“I realized killing you won’t save me…but loving you will.” -Castello (*SWOON*)
Wowza! That ending was soooo not what I had imagined! So much blood spilled and so many lives taken. I can’t even be sad about it either. Revenge is a sweet evil.
Blood & Vows is the 2nd and final book of this duet. Blood & Lies must be read first.

So, this continues where the first one left - with the death of Tatum's father and Castello's mother and a new war on the horizon.
Castello brings Tatum to his uncle's estate where he basically keeps her locked in their bedroom. And even though it gives them a chance to hump like bunnies and explore their kinks, it also shows how insecure he is about her loyalty and is not sure that she'd stay if she had a chance of freedom.
