Blood Reign : A Gothic Enemies to Lovers Suspense Paranormal Romance Fantasy Werewolf Novel (The Blood Series Book 4)

As a loyal follower of the Blood Series by Tamara Rose Blodgett from the very first book, I was very excited to read Blood Reign (Blood Series #4) and find out just what was going to happen to Julia next.....I pre-ordered my copy, and even waited up until it began to download onto my Kindle so I could jump right in and after reading the first few pages I was glad that it had been worth the wait! The time scale between the last book in the series and Blood Reign was quite a while but when you take into account how many different series that Tamara Rose Blodgtt is writing under her own name and that of her pseudo-name Marata Eros all at the same time, it is a wonder she has a life at all! You could also wonder if the quality would be affected but as usual Tamara did NOT disappoint and her words were ingenious in themselves, as they so easily danced across the page creating a siren's song that has you trapped in an astonishing fantasy land from the very first page, and that song keeps you enraptured far longer than you intend to read in one sitting.Julia has been constantly a blinding light of goodness throughout the novels so far and a tower of strength, but in Blood Reigns she learns some very harsh lessons and yes, people we all love and care about are going to suffer because of it. Nothing is ever going to be the same, rivers of Blood will fill each page as situations you never thought possible will occur and you WILL need a box of tissues handy because by the end you will have cried several times! Enough Spoilers as such, because this novel is just far too good to tell all in a review - You simply just HAVE TO read it to appreciate it in it's full glory.Decisions that are made, lines that are crossed and sides that are chosen, in some respects, especially one - is VERY surprising and the facts surrounding the Singers, The Sithe, The Reds and The Vampires no longer have the issues to fight amoung themselves for The Rare One.....Something Much darker, older and sinister is coming for them all and Julia is still the prise... Can they put their differences aside and work together? Or will their old rivalries cause them all to fall including the Rare One...

It is always a gamble when you read a new author some times it is all you hope for and sometimes its time to get your eyes tested!This is book four and I started with one and by the time I had read the first chapter I knew I had hit the Jack Pot.The characters are well defined and the story line carry's the reader forward at a good pace if I have any complaint it is that the books are to short I find just as I am well and truly hocked we near the end, the problem is due to Osteoarthritis reading is about all I can do some days so I would love an eight hundred page book, I use my Kindle or tab for reading as I can no longer hold books at the3 moment I am getting through a book every two days but perhaps the main problem is they are so well put together that I find them very hard to put down.

I have given this one star because although the book is fantastic it ends at only 58% in and a different series has been shoved in there to advertise and make up the other percentage. Making the book more a novella I'm not happy at all

Another brilliant read, I highly recommend this book.

She will be bound by fang, claw and blood, the kiss of the moon on high against where she lays to sleep. The queen shall bear the mark of the peacekeeping Singer....Your blood calls to us. It sings to us. We follow it like a melody on the wind. All roads lead to the Blood Singer. This girl. The Blood Singer from the Book of Blood. The Rare One. In the absence of hope, darkness bloomed like a black orchid.Since this is the first time I have read this series, I am reviewing it as a whole (books 1-8), rather than each book. WOW! What a truly FANTASTIC series!!! This series is my soap opera, in all the best, juciest ways! So addicted! Need to know what’s happening and NOW! :) I was thoroughly addicted, caught in its grip, unable to put it down! I love, Love, LOVE how Tamara Rose Blodgett weaves such an intricate story complete with love, heartbreak, heartache, passion, friendship, enemies, lovers, allies and oh so much more all while seamlessly integrating so many characters to love & hate (sometimes both!) who belong to any one (or more!) of numerous species but done in a way to keep the reader engaged and following along, incorporating them without even realizing just how many people you now know & follow! It’s in depth in all the right places & ways and has such deep, dark passionate tones, as well as the lighter, happier sides too, that are all brought together so perfectly to make one helluva unique and creative series! I am blown away by the multitude of species and their abilities both as a whole, as well as what each individual is capable of! Each and every aspect & piece of the story brings layer upon layer of enrichment from complex characters, scenery, flow of the storytelling to the compelling storylines! Love the vernacular, quips, quotes & wording that fits for each character and/or species, meaning that the teens or "young'ins" speak & act as they should, while the "old" ones speak as they should, which adds an even deeper layer of "realism" to the story & characters. It was so hard to figure out the "good guys" from the "bad guys", (which is a great thing!) but what chafed me the most is falling for one that I was so sure was worthy of my adoration, then finding out he is total scum!! LOL But that is why I love, Love, LOVE Tamara's books! Her ability to write & create such deeply enriched books that capture my attention, drawing me in so deep that it feels like I am living the story, being surprised by every twist & turn that I never saw coming, really meeting & becoming friends (or enemies) with the multifaceted characters, becoming said characters, seeing every single bit of it in my mind’s eye, time after time, book after book, series after series, no matter the genre, is proof of just how phenomenally talented and exceptionally gifted Tamara Rose Blodgett truly is and why she is one of my absolutely favorite authors to read & binge read!!
