Brothers of Blood has an interesting idea and some creative language. It belongs to the transgressive mode and the horror tradition as you might have guessed from the title.
The idea behind Brothers of Blood is one of its best components. The story focuses on a brother and sister over two periods of time. The first part sees Beau, the older brother, going into a murderous rage that he drags his sister, Belle, into. The second Beau comes back from prison a reformed man to find Belle has taken up t ...more

Perchance the precocious antiheroes were more parsimonious in their incessant utilization of polysyllabic enunciations, and the scribe not so fond of extemporaneous bouts of inordinate description, this literary endeavor may be more palatable. Rogers writes as if somebody bet him that he (Rogers) couldn't use every word in Roget's Thesaurus in a single book. I personally also have an extensive vocabulary, but I don't use it in every sentence. The storyline itself was interesting, but the overwhe

Brothers of Blood begins with a confused narrative voice that is somewhat cleared up by the middle of the book but not soon enough for the reader to enjoy the story, if this is a story one can be said to 'enjoy'. Characters seem to face little consequences or conflict to do with the vile acts they commit and the novel feels more like a fever dream than a glimpse into the life of Belle and her brothers. Read with caution, perseverance is needed to wade through the thesaurus heavy writing, and do

I'm not sure how any of the reviewers didn't finish this book. I was interested from beginning to end. It isnt the typical coming of age tale and I felt that even when there are unrealist moments, the realism is that even the bad guys have lives and go about their days in between evil acts. I loved it. Very unconventional and oddly beautiful.

DNF. I thought the relationship between Beau and Belle is interesting enough in the beginning but when other characters come into the picture, I struggled to keep my interest. I gave it until 25% in my Kindle copy but could not connect to the storyline.
Finally got around to reading this as I recieved it from a free promotion.
I loved it! Super prodigy Belle was my favorite and I loved the conclusion. Second book please!

Did not finish.
The is his only book?! Wow
Got me an account just so I could rate this. Loved it! Chilling and worth the buy! Belle is a crazy character plus I liked when they discussed mumble rap all random lol!
I received this book as part of a free ebook promotion and honestly, I don't know what made me actually take the time to read it before hand. However, it is a far more intelligent book than I expected and even though it is indeed graphic, it wears its literary influences on its shoulders. He quotes Edgar Allen Poe in a pretty good show of the main character's brain power. Her slick handling of her friendships to better manipulate them into murders is just as impressive.

I was scared, I cried, and I laughed a lot. You wouldnt know it by the synopsis, but it's pretty dang funny. I hope there's a sequel!

Pretty dark and sometimes graphic, but it does really seem to be for plot purposes and characters. Id love this for Netflix or HBO!
Met the author at a festival, devoured this book in two days! It is messed up! Loved it!
It's so sad! I loved it a lot and really look forward to reading more from this author.

Good story. Totally worth your time.
Needs a proofread for spelling and grammar though.
