Sebastian Vaughn has a secret.
Lorelei Lansford is the epitome of perfection.
Vaughn has darkness inside of him. Recruited by a criminal organization at a young age, he leads a double life. He deals in women, arms and intelligence, but to the outside world he's just another rich playboy living the lifestyle. That is until he crosses paths with a shining star, a beauty he can’t keep his hands off.
Lorelei was born into a wealthy family and has certain responsibilities she is expected to obey without question. One of those is not falling in love with high society bad boy, Sebastian Vaughn. Money, sex, danger... Vaughn exudes it and like a moth to a flame, she can’t stay away. When Vaughn steps into something out of his control there’s only one way he can escape with his life. He has to make a deal that will betray everything he holds dear.
The price?
Lorelei.
Warning: This is a story about pain and retribution. It does not have a happy ending. There is strong language, sex scenes and violence. It is not intended for those of a squeamish disposition. Blood Rites is dark, dangerous and smooth. You have been warned.

Review by Nadia Chief Obsessive Pimpette
~*~ Obsessed by Books arc given in exchange for an honest review ~*~
"Open up the wound and let me stitch it back up."
But as we learned in Bad Blood Vaughn has a wound that just keeps on bleeding...it is his motivation, his driving force and in this novella we explore how that came to be. Sebastian Vaughn is a bad man. Keeping his two lives separate he works in the financial sector successfully by day and has an alter ego in the darker side of life; dealing in hard drugs, women and weapons. He is riding high in both circles, his reputation reknown, whispers and accolades surround him but believes he is untouchable. Striking a deal with Sykes, the leader of The Necromancers MC he quickly changes his mind as Sykes wants more than Vaughn is willing to give.
This is Vaughn's story of how a chance meeting with a beautiful woman alters the course of destiny and shapes the man he is to become, The Hangman. Vaughn becomes infatuated with the stunning woman he accidentally bumps into, the electricity sparking between them. He knows she is different but doesn't realise just how far he will go to win her. They play a cat and mouse game of seduction but ultimately can they resist the pull?
Wrong choices, poor decisions and man's hubris creates the ultimate Romeo and Juliet type love story. We learn what became of the beautiful Lorelei and Vaughn's metamorphosis from a bad man to a very very bad man, he goes somewhere much darker after his dealings with Sykes. We also meet again with The Watchman. He is not someone to bump onto in the dark. Hawkes is another interesting character his loyalty to Vaughn unsupassed. Lorelei is a high society lady, born wealthy but without title and she feels she has never quite fitted in. Successful too in her own right in her chosen career, she is swept up in the storm that is Vaughn. A good girl with an inner bad side, she accepts every dark secret he has to give. Having never felt so passionately before about someone she gives him her all and tragically that also includes her very last breathe. Unfortunately she is just a footnote in my review as she was nothing more than a pawn in Syke's blood soaked game of chess, expendable in his grand scheme.
This is another adrenaline filled, smoking hot, sexy read that has no happy ending or hero's rushing in. Just darkness and things best left in the shadows, my all time favourite flavour of story.
A five star sizzling read.

Review by Mazzy Boss Lady
*********Reviewed on behalf of Obsessed by Books **********
Here we find out more about Vaughn, we previously met him in the previous book, and I for one would love to find out what is behind his façade.
Vaughn is most definitely a bad boy and he is an ultimate one as his dealings include drugs and women. His other interest is Lorelei, the chemistry between these two is sizzling hot.
There are decisions to made by both of them, Vaughn needs to decide what is most important to him and Lorelei needs to decide whether she can forgive, forget to be with the man that she is in love with.
Amity has written a a book where she keeps your attention from page one, this read is dark and dirty and I loved every minute of it.
This series just gets better and better, I will be looking forward to what Amity writes next, as we have one extremely talented author here and she is not one to be missed.
