I really enjoyed this book and not because I love Bianca D'Arc but because there is something going on with every page that you turn. I enjoy stories that are different, with plots and actual story lines and Bianca has that in Slade. There are a few sex scenes and  even a ménage, more of the good vs evil and little romance.  There were even a few ' oh no she didn't' moments for me.

I would recommend Slade to my avid reader friends because of all that she has incorporated with in the story. Then y'all will also need to get the next story, Sweeter Than Wine. So go check it out for yourselves.

 Happy Reading
