Description:
She made a deal with a fey. Now, she’s determined to break it.

Kennedy thought she’d finally found her footing in the paranormal world, but a fateful discovery threatens the peace she’s tried so hard to build. Hidden within her mother’s jewelry box lies a rare artifact linked to Garion, the Rain’s bartender and Kennedy’s friend. It’s also the object Kennedy vowed to give to a fey king in exchange for his previous “help.”

Handing over the token feels like a betrayal, but breaking a bargain is no small matter. Kennedy needs advice, so she turns to her small circle of allies, including Blake, the relentless werewolf she can’t let herself fall for.

With her options running out, Kennedy must navigate around the rules of the paranormal world while also solidifying Jared’s position as the new master of the local vampire compound. She’s pulled deep into cutthroat politics, and once again, she faces an impossible choice: surrender the token and betray her friend, or defy the fey and risk unimaginable consequences.

Review:

A Token of Blood and Betrayal by Sandy Williams is the 4th^rd book in her wonderful Kennedy Rain series. Refresher: Kennedy Rain, our heroine, is in sole control of the Rain Hotel. What makes the Rain Hotel unique?   The hotel is a null zone for paranormals, with a treaty that has been in effect for hundreds of years; a place to recover, be at peace, or just time to relax with no pressure; a werewolf can avoid the full moon or a vampire can see the sun, or recover from an injury. The Werewolves and Vampires, plus some other unknown species take turns to come and stay at the hotel.

Kennedy thought she’d finally found her footing in the paranormal world, but a fateful discovery threatens the peace she’s tried so hard to build.With Deagan injured and unconscious, Kennedy makes sure that Deagan is taken to the Rain, to help his recovery. Kennedy needs advice, so she turns to her small circle of allies, including Blake, the werewolf who totally loves Kennedy.  

When Jared (Vampire) is attacked by Satine, (who is evil), it is Nora who will run to help Jared, with Kennedy, Christian and eventually Blake to fight off Satine. Kennedy must navigate the rules of the paranormal world while also solidifying Jared’s position as the new master.  With help from Astrid (coven) and Thordis (who watches over her), things will drastically change.When everything falls apart, Kennedy finds herself, in extreme danger, especially from two people that were close to her. 

What follows is a wonderful fun, tense and exciting story, with Kennedy in the middle of it all.  As we raced to the climax, with surprising twists that will change the game, as we have to wait til the next book to find a way to save Kennedy.  There was a lot of action from start to finish, which kept me glued to the book. A Token of Blood and Betrayal was terrific thriller. This was a great addition to the series, which was very well written by Sandy Williams.
