Bloody Quarter Book Description:
Don’t worry, Doll. You’ll taste heaven before you walk with the dead.
Was I dead? I had wanted to die. I remembered deciding that I was done with this life and done with the memories and ghosts that haunted me. I’d looked at the darkness below and prayed for it to swallow me whole. Spreading my arms wide, I stepped off the ledge and woke up in hell. At least, I thought it was hell. It was hard to tell anymore. My soul was ripped from my chest long before now, and my heart had stopped beating when the gavel banged, sentencing me to ten years in prison. So what was this place?
The man who had me must be the devil, and I was his doll. Solely there for his entertainment. I never expected the devil to be as sexy as sin and just as tempting as an addiction. Even in death, tortured, and used, I couldn’t be helped. I wanted him, and every depraved thing he did only hammered home that my soul couldn’t be saved. I always knew I was destined for hell.
“Lennox would call me a fucking idiot, but there were only two things I craved in this world, death, and my doll. I wasn’t giving either of them up.”

Bloody Quarter Review:
Alora lost everything the day her sister died. Fiver years later, she is released from prison, with nowhere to go, only a few dollars to her name, and no hope. Soon after, she finds herself working at a local diner and the bakery where her sister used to work.
Leaving the bakery one day, she literally bumps into Greyson, an attractive yet unnerving man who makes her uneasy. Greyson tries to buy her a coffee as an apology, but she declines. Greyson, however, refuses to let her go. After some intense stalking, Greyson finally has enough intel to approach Alora. He wants to show her his dark side. But, Alora might try to run.
I need to see a therapist. Greyson is a straight-up sociopath and I love him for it. He takes “touch her and dîe” to a whole new level. The edging of Alora was torturous, but at the same time, I’ll give it a go.
Brooklyn Cross did an incredible job describing Alora’s pain. It was difficult to watch her suffer through such raw emotion – It felt real to me. I wanted to pull her into a big hug and remind her life is worth living.
The list of what and who I didn’t like is short and sweet, and I’m sure readers would agree with me.
- Alora’s mom. Who can just point to their older daughter as the cause of death for her younger daughter without hearing her side of the story? And when Alora tries to mend their relationship, she points to her as a suspect for a murder she didn’t commit AGAIN! Eww.
- I hated watching Alora beat herself up over the death of her sister and sister’s best friend Tammy. Could she have made different choices? Absolutely. But I can’t say I would have reacted differently if it was my younger sister I was picking up from a party.
Bloody Quarter is throwing real Haunted by the Devil by Kinsley Kincaid vibes.
Bloody Quarter is perfect for readers who enjoy who like their MMC morally black, an FMC who’s a fighter whether she knows it or not, and a serial unaliver who pains the French Quarter red.
Thank you to Brooklyn Cross and Literally Yours PR for the ARC.
