The Same Blood (The Lamb and the Lion: Wolves Among Us Book 2)

JEM AND TEAN FOREVER. Truly, I love them so so much. I know they are fighting through it right now, but I just adore how even when they aren't in the best place, they turn to each other. It's like they automatically know that the other is their safe space and with everything they've gone through in their lives it's just like the best feeling ever that they have a safe spot to land (even when they forget or are rude or WHATEVER). I love how we're kinda making our way to the Iron & Iron timeline. We all were like 🤯 when we had their story but I'm LOVING seeing how it came to be. They're just so sweet together and they're the best family and I love them. (Also they make me cry and I'm not okay in the best way). The mystery was GOOD. Some things I could guess, some caught me completely off guard, and the overarching trilogy mystery is SPOOKY AF. Please tell me there are 821489124810 more stories planned for these two.

I so enjoy reading Tean and Jem's storyline. Getting to know the characters I can't wait for the next book.

I love these guys and am so looking forward to the next book. Of all the books Mr.Ashe has written my favorites include Tean and Jen.

I've read and loved all of Gregory Ashe's novels. All of them. And I ended this one debating to assign it another 5 star review -- or maybe a 3 star rating. I'm stressed. I enjoyed most of the book and read it in a little over a day, even awakening during the night to read more. And then I got to Chapters 39 and 40. I actually looked back a couple of times to see if maybe I was hallucinating. I'm guessing it was a nightmare sequence, out of the blue. Maybe that was implied and not expressed. Or maybe .... I just don't know. The final pages were better, but this is the first of his dependably wonderful creations that left me with some regrets. I read the first in the series, and I'll read the next. I need to believe in this author, just I've taken a little dent All that said, I'd recommend his amazing, creative, touching, and humorous collection.

OMG, this book! There is so much going on here! Amon asks Jem for help because Daniel is being watched. Almost at the same time, Jem's mom is asking him to attend a "family dinner". Talk about batiming! Jem ends up agreeing to help Daniel on the condition that Tean is kept out of it. Tean is still dealing with all the emotions therapy is bringing to the surface, and Jem is trying not to be scared by the unpredictability of his moods. But Jem and unpredictability don't mix well :( So, things between them aren't perfect. Not bad, not really. But a bit... troubled. They ended up agreeing to go to the dinner, even though it's a long way from their home. It goes as well as you can imagine. Brigitte's husband, Gerald, who is some Mormon big... something, quickly shows his true colours and, dismissing Tean's presence in Jem's life with a wave of his hand, offers Jem the chance to 'help' him to be a 'real man' *bangs head against every hard surface close to her*. Yep, it goes downhill very quickly from here. If things weren't bad enough, a snowstorm traps them in the lodge. The VERY expensive lodge. And they can't even enjoy a good night's sleep because Gerald has the truly bad manners of dying. Soon, it becomes crystal clear that it wasn't an accident and that they are trapped in the lodge with a killer. The pool of suspects is quite wide, as lodging there, too, is a Gerald's 'spiritual coaching group' (tell me they are in conversion therapy without telling me they are in…
