Review: Blood and Sand

Blood and Sand by C.V. Wyk
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hook: Do you need any more than FEMALE Spartacus? I didn’t.

Attia is the last her of her people, Thracians conquered and killed by the Romans. Sold as a slave, given to a gladiator, she will have her revenge. Xanthus, the Champion of Rome, a slave himself, isn’t what she expected and a fragile friendship is formed. Pompeii is quite the political hotspot and as Attia learns more, her plan modifies.

This book! I thought it was going to end one way and it went another direction. Yes, you read it right--Pompeii--volcano--it’s an issue. But, it’s not the end, oh no, this is a series starter. Fortunately (?) the first chapter of the next book is at the end of this one. I have so many questions! The author’s note explains some of the timeline liberties taken. I’ll definitely be reading Fire and Ash.
