Goodreads Monday is a weekly meme where you chose a random book from your Goodreads TBR and show it off. This meme is hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog.
This week, I’m spotlighting a book that’s been on my Goodreads TBR since 2021. King of Battle and Blood sounds like such a swoon-tastic romantasy, which is my favorite genre! I recently received a copy of the book from my friend Dini for my birthday, and I’m hoping to read it in November. Let’s check it out!
About the Book:

Title: King of Battle and Blood
Author: Scarlett St. Clair
Series: Adrian X Isolde #1
Page Length: 368
Publication Date: Nov. 30, 2021
Publisher: Bloom Books
Synopsis: Their Union Is His Revenge.
Isolde de Lara considers her wedding day her death day. To end a years-long war, she is to marry vampire king, Adrian Aleksandr Vasiliev, and kill him.
But her assassination attempt is thwarted and Adrian threatens that if Isolde tries to kill him again, he will raise her as the undead. Faced with the possibility of becoming the thing she hates most, Isolde seeks other ways to defy him and survive the brutal vampire court.
Except it isn’t the court she fears most — it’s Adrian. Despite their undeniable chemistry, she wonders why the king — fierce, savage, merciless — chose her as consort.
The answer will shatter her world.

i’ve heard about this book and it’s been on my tbr for sooo long, and i’ll definitely read it really soon (and that soon will be in the next 50 years because my tbr is sooo long hahaha)
p.s. i just posted my first blog post, so if you haven’t already, it would mean a world to me if you check it out!
hahaha – I know how you feel! I’m hoping to get to this one soon, but we’ll see…
Sounds interesting. I don’t read many books like this.
Have a great week!

Thanks, Emily! You too!
This is another book I’ve had sitting on my shelf for a while but haven’t yet read, lol!! Hopefully that will change next year. Happy belated birthday!
Thank you! Hopefully, we’ll both get to this one soon! 🙂
Yay! I hope you enjoy it, Julie 🙂 I ended up enjoying this one more than I thought I would—it served very similar FBAA (JLA) vibes but… IMHO, better. 😂 I can’t wait to hear what you think of it!
Ooooh, that makes me even more eager to read it, Dini!
I enjoyed this one. Looking forward to getting my hand on the second book. Hope you enjoy it!!
Thanks, Ali! I’m hoping to start it soon.
