Elizabeth's Review


3.5 Stars - Worth a Reader's Time

WARNING - If you have not read the first book in the Blood Type series, stop. Do not read Blood Match first as you will be completely lost.
Having said that, I found this middle book of the series to be entertaining and intriguing. There is a Hunger Games - esque vibe to Reyna and Beckham's continued story and the intrigue element plays a much larger role than the romantic relationship.
I definitely see this more as Reyna's story with Beckham playing a secondary and supporting role. I appreciated Reyna's growth, even if she still wasn't making the best decisions. Well written, this is a compelling story that pulls the reader in and leaves you wanting to know what will happen next.
One plus for me; while Blood Match ends with a cliffhanger, it ends in such a way that if you are ready to be done with the story, you could walk away and let your imagination take over. I am very curious to see how things end in Blood Cure.

     
A startling new vision of paranormal romance: When a human ventures into the world of vampires—a decadent milieu of blood-bonds and betrayal—she discovers that not all is what it seems. For Reyna Carpenter, giving up her body isn’t a choice. It’s survival. In a civilization laid waste by poverty and desperation, Reyna accepts a high-paying position with the wealthy and hungry vampire elite. Her new job is as the live-in blood escort for the intimidating, demanding, and devilishly handsome Beckham Anderson. He’s everything she expected from a vampire, except for one thing—he won’t feed off her. Reyna soon discovers that behind Beckham’s brooding, wicked façade lies a unique and complex man. And that, in a dark and divided world, she is more valuable than she ever would have believed. For with each passing night, Reyna can’t shake the sensation that it’s Beckham who’s afraid of her. Note: Reyna and Beckham’s story continues in Blood Match. ADD TO GOODREADS

 The stunning conclusion to the Blood Type series finds the world in chaos and turmoil with one final battle left to determine who will survive—humans or vampires. She had the world on her shoulders. Now she has nothing. Reyna Carpenter was twenty-one when she became a live-in blood escort for the ruthless and darkly handsome vampire Beckham Anderson. She thought this was just a small price to pay for feeding her brothers back home. But nothing went as planned. Not even her tumultuous relationship with Beckham. And now she wonders if anything will ever be the same again. As she finds herself in the midst of a losing rebellion, she and her trusted friends must flee from a city conquered by the vampire elite. With their plans blown to pieces and everything they knew and loved gone, their future hangs in the balance. Despite all she has lost, Reyna must rise from the ashes, reclaim the life that was stolen—and complete her mission, once and for all. ✦ ADD TO GOODREADSAmazon USAmazon UKiBooksB&NKoboGoogle Play           Kyla
