Hot Bloods
Writing fantasy novels that tantalize and entice the reader, the American author Bella Forrest has a knack for creating in-depth and entertaining stories. Bringing together elements of romance and the paranormal, she has a large imagination that is truly impressive in its scope and sheer sense of scale. Taking genres that feature many well-worn tropes and conventions, she manages to turn them on their head, creating something entirely new in the process. Not only that, but she has managed to achieve a lot of success whilst doing it too, such as what she has done with vampires for instance. Her ‘Hotbloods’ series is a great example of this, as it has managed to bring together the best of what Forrest is about, for an audience that is both young and old. Featuring the stories of Riley and Navan, it sees them both dealing with the supernatural elements, whilst also coming to terms with their own powers. Set in America, with much of it taking place in Texas, these stories draw from Forrest’s own background, whilst taking them into the realms of the fantastical. They also venture into romantic territory, whilst they’re also not afraid to get their hands dirty either, giving the audience a little bit of everything.
