My Review:- The Blood Hours is fantasy, magic and mystery all wrapped up in one. Sayer's has entered himself into the 'Blood Hours' so he can keep an eye on his little sister, Ena. Blood Hours is a 28 days of slaughter of ebb-mages by either elements of the priests. Those that are cursed with ebb-magic are marked for death by the gods.  Will Sayer be able to save his sister? Will Ever a girl he met when he entered Blood Hours, help him and what are her secrets?

I enjoyed this book and the pace that it is wrote in. Anyone that likes dystopian fantasy, this is a book for you.
