His name is Beat, and I should hate him. Bound, blindfolded and bruised, I'm tied in his basement, waiting for the men who stripped me from clothes and humanity to collect his debt to them. Me. His name is Nate and I should hate him, but I don't. I'm not supposed to know his real name, even worse, I'm not supposed to care. He is nothing to me but means to an end. The plan is simple: break free, collect the pieces of my broken soul, kill the bastards and run away. His name is Nathaniel Thomas Vela, and I've never seen his face, though I hear that it's beautiful. Behind the rugged and handsome exterior, there's a quiet murderer, a killer who thinks guns are for pussies and ends people with his bare hands. His name doesn't matter, neither does his face, but what does matter is my heart. And right now, sadly, it's his. Blood to Dust is a standalone, full-length novel. It contains graphic violence and adult situations some may find offensive.

Shen, I knew immediately that I wanted to read Blood to Dust. I expected Blood to Dust to be a little darker, but nonetheless, I was instantly allured by it. L.J. Shen took me on a suspenseful, action packed journey and kept me interested throughout. Oh, and lets not forget that Blood to Dust also had some pretty hot scenes.
We are introduced to Prescott who is being held captive due to her crossing her ex and him seeking retaliation. She is taken to an undisclosed location by two men and she has a plan to hopefully break one of them in an attempt at freedom. I loved that Prescott’s character was not your typical heroine. She was strong, smart, and very determined even after everything she had gone through. Prescott was determined to learn about her captors and was hoping that one would help her escape captivity. I instantly fell in love with Beat/Nate. He was a felon, but I knew that there would be so much more to him than just that. He was one of the men that held Prescott in captivity, and he had specific orders on how to treat Prescott, but somehow little by little things became complicated. I loved the journey between Prescott & Nate. Both of them had pasts that haunted them and I think that’s why their connection was so strong. They really complemented each other and I was secretly hoping that things would work out for both of them. I loved that L.J. Shen gave us a glimpse of the things that each of them had endured, and how it gave us an understanding of why both of them were willing to help one another. Overall, I really loved Blood to Dust, with the only downfall that I wish it would have been a little darker. I’m looking forward to reading more from L.J. Shen.
