I knew from the beginning that the book was going to end with a cliffhanger and I thought I knew how it would end, but I was wrong. Everything is a mess and I worry about every single thing. I hope that things will be alright in the next book and there will be a united front made from Becks and Ryan. I cannot say much because I might accidentally spoil the story for ya.

The last few sentences explain a lot of things that happened previously in the story and at the time didn't make any sense and they set up the plot for the second book.

Becks is an unusual character and he might be a hit or miss. He is cold. Like Reyna, I only got glimpses of who he truly was and only late in the book we found out who he truly was. Still, I was drawn to him and I liked him. I wanna see more of the man behind the mask. Reyna has both bad and good qualities. Some times she is weak and others she is kicking arse. She stood up foe herself once in a while. I liked her. She's only the only person who tells the story. So we get to see the world for the first time as she does.

The book is not very paranormal-y, so the people who don't like the genre won't have a problem with it and both parties can enjoy the book.

Wow. I mean, wow. I know that the reviews are split when it comes to this book, but holy buckets, i absolutely fell in love with this book. 2018 seems to be the year that paranormal and science fiction romances are coming back full force and delivering something new and fresh, and i for one am all up in that!

K.A. Linde isn't a new author - i've read quite a few of her books by now, namely her Wright Brothers series, and i truly do love her writing style. It's entertaining, captivating and a thrill to really get lost into her stories. While the Wright Brothers series were Contemporary romances, Blood Type was my first paranormal by her and the way that it was delivered - absolutely amazing.

I really wanted to know more. Think of the movie In Time (with Justin Timberlake) and True Blood series (starting at season 7 when the vampires match up with humans to protect them from other infected vampires) - while there were similarities of both movie and series, Blood Type was really different from any other book i may have read in the past. I enjoyed getting to know Reyna and how fiercely loyal she is to her family members and the ones she cares about, but i also enjoyed the nuances of who Beckham is. I'm curious in finding out more about Reyna, why vampires think her blood is special, as well as Beckham's history.

There's just something about these two that draws me in like a moth to a flame - their story is fascinating to the point where i spend entirely too much time reading and not enough on doing the dishes or sleeping. There's no denying the fact that i'll be looking forward to the next instalments to this series in the future because let's face it - i'm hooked on these two and i really need to know what their destiny is.

This is the first book in an exciting new paranormal romance series that I have been dying to read!!

I’ve been a fan of this author for quite a while now and I’m also a huge fan of paranormal romance stories. So when I saw that this author was going for it and writing an entire paranormal romance series, about vampires no less, I jumped on the opportunity to read and review this one! I’m so glad that I did too, since this is now hands down one of my favorite books written by this author and I’ve already preordered the next two books that are coming in this highly addictive series!

The entire situation between Beckham and Reyna is definitely frustrating to say the least and the back and forth between them had me wanting to throw my kindle across the room on more than one occasion! I loved the whole idea of the business relationship between vampires and humans and if vampires actually did exist, I could see this being how things would actually be. I can honestly say that I’d offer myself up for that kind of situation in a second. Each time Beckham rejected Reyna, it added another layer of tension to this story that made me appreciate it all the more and by the end of this one I was unable to put my kindle down until I had read every last page!

When you reach the point where you try to take your kindle into the shower with you because you’re that into a book, you know that the author has done their job and done it well. And this book got me to that point and then some! I can’t wait to read the rest of this amazing series and I’m so glad that I was lucky enough to stumble across this one! I highly recommend reading everything by this author, but especially this great story, to anyone.

I wasn't really sure what to think of this author writing a paranormal romance, but she left me wanting more. It's been awhile since I've read a book with a vampire and I was impressed. Beckham is definitely a vampire I would want to meet. The world in this book isn't the greatest, the fact that you have to become a blood escort to really even make a living is really sad. There is so much poverty. It's really sad. This book wasn't just about romance, but with a lot of politics as well. Besides the relationship growing between Beckham and Reyna, there is a lot going on. They want to make a blood consensus. That seems like a big impact on privacy. While it seeems like Beckham is all for everything, there is a lot more going on. I definitely wouldn't want to visit The Vault. The only reason Reyna is doing this is to help her brothers. I wish we would've seen more of them. Who knows? Maybe we will in the next book. Most of the book is building to something, but the last part is non stop action. This book had me on the edge of my seat wanting more! I knew it would end with a cliffhanger, but that was not what I was expecting. If you like romance, with some politics and soms twists, this is definitely a book for you!

4.5 stars!

“Everyone is corrupt. Everyone is broken.”
“I’m not,” she whispered.
“Oh Little One, this world will kill the goodness left within your beating heart.”
“But it will not break me.”
“No,” he agreed. He leaned his head into her hair and drew a deep breath. “I will do that.”

We are paranormal readers at heart, it’s always been one of our favourite genres. If you’re like us in that respect then you’ll know what we mean when we say Blood Type was pure old school paranormal and we are so incredibly excited about this. Nostalgia eat your heart out, this is just what we needed and have been missing. Now whilst it felt old school there was no mistaking this for something we’d read before, rather it was a unique and original concept with passion, suspense and intrigue.

‘She wanted to make something of herself. One day she would. Every journey begins with one step. Hers began with this one. ‘

KA Linde slowly built a world of humans and vampires living alongside each other knowingly yet with a deep seated resentment brewing in the background. The affluent vampires living it up and the humans struggling in poverty. The vampires are without question in control but in the shadows a rebellion is brewing. Just who is betraying who and what truly lies behind the intentions of the Visage?

‘She wanted more. She craved him like an addict craved the next hit. She didn’t know what he did to her, but when they got like this, she didn’t care. It didn’t matter how infuriating he was, she was caught up in the whirlwind of their desires.’

Reyna our naïve and sometimes slightly frustrating heroine is trying to make life better for her two brothers as well as herself. Living in the slums with little to no escape she decides to sign up to become a blood donor at the prestigious company Visage which proclaims to serve the sole purpose of acting as a blood bank for vampires in order to stamp out -a literal blood bath- and also to match up vampire to human of the same blood group which prevents unnecessary violent reactions. Little does Reyna know that her blood means she’s matched to a very powerful vampire and not only that, she’s signing up to become his own personal blood escort.

“So that’s it? You said you’d never kiss me again…and now you have.”
“A mistake,” he said callously. “Your emotions run high, and they send my…baser instincts into overdrive.”
“It couldn’t be that you’re a man desiring a woman?”
“No. It is an animal enjoying the hunt. The monster within struggling to get out. Nothing more.”

Beckham Anderson is an enigma. Affluent, secretive, aloof, superior and seriously frustrating but an oh so wonderfully lush and delicious brooding vampire who is clearly hiding what and who he truly is. There’s a steel wall encasing the heart and mind of our controlling vampire. Whilst there’s bouts of caring, attraction and protectiveness displayed he’s still an insufferable arsehole, but a lovable arsehole nonetheless.

“Come back.”
“What?”
“Come back….Stay with me.”
“Why? So you can keep stringing me along?”
“No, because with me is where you belong.”

This first book in a three book series was brilliantly written and a great introduction to a story we found to be immediately addictive. It was fast paced story wise yet the romantic element almost slow burn. Even though book one was push pull – back and forth we understood why and enjoyed that this aspect felt almost secondary to an evolving storyline of the inequality between vampires and humans and the fight that’s brewing just beneath the surface. A mystery is unravelling and we cannot wait to discover what truly lies beneath.

The perfect mix of alpha male and PNR!

I have to admit that this was a bit of a slow start for me but I think that it was entirely my fault. It has been a while since I’ve read paranormal romance book and it took me a bit to get back into the groove. However, I pushed through and couldn’t be more happy about it. I can’t stop thinking about Reyna and Becks!

Reyna is my favorite type of heroine! She’s not afraid to do what she needs to do and she gets it done like a boss. I love how strong and independent she was even when dealing with a powerful man like Beckham. He is a true alpha male and I loved to hate him in the beginning. As the story progressed, I was rooting for him and Reyna to overcome some serious bumps in the road. There are some more bumps that they’re going to need to overcome and I can’t wait to watch them continue to fight for each other.

This is one of my favorite paranormal romance books I’ve ever read and I can’t wait to see what happens in the rest of the series. The world building was fantastic and it felt as if I was right there along with the characters.

Whooo, that ending! I can’t wait for Blood Match and Blood Cure!

Note: This book does end with a cliffhanger with two more books to follow.

Intriguing, addictive, compelling, this book is the best vampire story I’ve read since the BDB series. I had stopped reading vampire stories, but this one called to me, drew me in, and captivated me. I loved the vampire world invented by this author. It is dark and dangerous, like a Mad Max vampire story.

Reyna applied to work as a blood escort for vampires. The world is now one where vampires co-exist with humans in almost peace. The economy had crashed and almost everyone lived in poverty. The largest company in the world, Visage, owned and operated by vampires, offered jobs to humans as blood donors, and many humans flocked to apply, wanting to escape starvation. Reyna’s two brothers work many hours for minimum wages and she felt she was too much of a burden to them. This way, she could live well, eat well, and send them money to improve their life.

Instead of being assigned into the usual arrangement of different sponsors on a monthly basis, she was offered a position as a permanent escort to a sponsor. Since this was double the pay she accepted the position and was introduced to her sponsor, Beckham Anderson.

When he arrives to pick her up and take her to his home, she’s struck dumb. He is perfection, and huge, and formidable. And yet, he is indifferent to her, very standoffish and curt. Once established in his home, she’s given strict instructions on behavior, being available to him when requested, and letting him know where she is at all times. The strange thing is, he never feeds from her.

Reyna gives Beckham a crazy ride, disappearing to visit her brothers, going out with the only human friend she found, asking questions all the time, demanding information, and getting into trouble several times. Beckham always comes to the rescue, scolds her, keeps her at arms length, and infuriates Reyna. Their chemistry is off the charts and yet he resists.

There are a lot of politics and interactions going on in the Visage vampire world. There are three other vampires who are the head of the Visage company together with Beckham, and they are powerful and ambitious. There is some business with blood census and negotiations with the President that just sound like world domination. The other vampires are not kind, they feel dangerous and predators.

There’s a lot of tension and intrigue, and a pervasive sense of danger lurking around, hidden and silent. Beckham is involved in a fight for power and the other two vampires vying for position are ruthless, uncaring of who they harm. This book was so intriguing that it kept me reading until all hours of the night. It ends in a cliffhanger, and is part of a three-book series. You have to read it!!

I started this book at 5 stars. As I read I went down to a 4 and then ended with a 3. Maybe a 3.5. Blood Type and the way the vampires survive and the way the world is portrayed is interesting. It may be fantasy/paranormal/etc but I think it has some pretty relevant topics and situations in the world we live in today.

Blood Type is told from Reyna's point of view. As a human she is a little naive to world the vampires and what Visage is all about. This POV keeps you guessing on what is really going on behind the scenes; This is what kept me so engaged while reading. What started to lose me was the lack of chemistry between Reyna and Beckham. Sometimes I felt it and was like, "YES! Here we go! Let's do the damn thing." Then Beckham would push her away and I'm left feeling unsatisfied with their connection. It wasn't just about being angsty or needing them to do the dirty on every surface of his penthouse. It was more about wanting to feel that deep love that I think KA Linde wants us to feel.

I will say that after what happened in the last 2 chapters, I will definitely be reading the second book. I hope that we get more answers and maybe that will explain a little more about Visage, Elle, and give Reyna and Beckham a chance to really show us what they are made of.

YES! I loved this book so much! I loved how creative and different the storyline was. I loved the characters. Well some had to grow on me, but I fell for them all just the same. I loved the writing, the pacing. This was such a consuming book. I felt sucked into this world created by K.A. Linde. I loved that it had the angst and tension you would expect from a K.A. Linde book but in a paranormal setting. I absolutely cannot wait to read more from this series!

3.5 stars

I’m honestly not sure how I feel about this book. It drew me in from the start and kept me there, but I honestly almost put it down quite a few times, because Beckham drove me a bit insane. He was sexy and alpha, but he was a very indecisive hero. While by the end of the story I understood why, I had already made my mind up. I ADORED Reyna. While she’s sweet, she’s feisty and stands up for what she believes in. Even if it made waves, she wasn’t going to bite her tongue.

The story itself was great. Like I said, it drew me in from the beginning and had me wondering what would happen next. This is definitely a good read, and I would recommend it. Just be prepared for wanting to throat punch the hero a bit.... (but keep in mind, he does redeem himself)

Having read Linde’s more contemporary romance books before, I didn’t know what to expect of Blood Type, but I was impressed with with the overall story. Being the first book in the Blood Type series, we are introduced to the main characters Reyna Carpenter and Beckham Anderson as they go through a series of events to be together.

Now this was a very interesting read, the setting itself was different from any other book that I’ve read in the past and for that I applaud the author for taking the setting outside the box. This book is set in a dystopian world where vampires co-exist with humans, yet they are ones who hold the ultimate power.

At the beginning of the book we get to meet twenty-one-year old Reyna Carpenter, as she makes her way to the hospital facility of Visage Incorporated. The company is the largest in the world and it specializes in what they call body employment services (who Reyna calls blood escorts). These individuals who are in need of money will in some cases visit Visage to become blood donors for vampires.

In this world there are various districts where the economy is really bad and technology is not advanced. Reyna happens to live in The Warehouse District where any technology from cellphones to cars weren’t available to most people. It is for this case that Reyna has taken upon herself to provide for her brothers any way she can and that’s how she decides to become a blood escort. But she is offered to be in a new program, one where she will be staying with the sponsor permanently and that’s when the story truly takes off. Her sponsor is non other than Beckham Anderson, Senior Vice President of Visage Incorporated and as the two start to get to know each other the more she starts to like him. Yet, there are matters that could get complicated and a new law is about to threaten any kind of future they might to have with each other.

As VP of Visage Incorporated, Beckham Anderson enjoys its advantages and he is more than willing to take on a blood escort. But never expected to meet Reyna and like her. She is not just any blood donor to him, and he soon starts to do little things to make her happy while she is living in his penthouse. Though their sexual chemistry is there, he refuses to give up control and will not feed off her either. As they spend more time together, there more he wants to be with her but there is a new law that could end up pulling them apart.

I wish the story didn’t end with a cliffhanger, but it does and from the ending it looks like the second book is going to be great as well. The characters are total opposites who somehow work together really well. Reyna is determined to get any job in order to provide for her family even if it means risking her life/freedom. On the other hand, Beckham is more mysterious and keeps to himself a lot. There are little things that he does for Reyna that charmed her and she felt comfortable around him pretty quickly. We do get to find out why they’re the way they are as we get to learn more about their pasts. The ending had me freaking out, I really want to read the next book already! What I didn’t like as much was how easily Beck kept playing with Reyna’s feelings and how many chances she gave him. It was frustrating at times, but it somehow worked at the end of the book. If there is one thing that I thought of when I finished reading the book was of the movie, Daybreakers, it has a similar plot line minus all the romance. I really enjoyed reading something different from K.A. Linde, it was a good start to the series which I highly recommend checking out! :D

I really had a good time with this book. It is no secret that I love a good vampire story so this book got my attention right away. I thought that this vampire world sounded just different enough to be really interesting and I knew that I would have to make reading it a priority. I was pulled into the story right away and found myself trying to read every moment that I could. I found this book to be an incredibly entertaining romance.

Reyna feels like she has no other option left so she signs up to work for Visage, a company that pairs vampires with humans willing to be fed upon. Usually these positions are temporary with blood donors cycling to a different vampire after a number of weeks but Reyna is selected for a new program where she will be assigned to a single vampire on a permanent basis. This is how she finds herself moving into Beckham Anderson's penthouse.

This story is told from Reyna's point of view and I liked her right away. I felt her desperation and her fear. I also understood why she felt the need to question everything she didn't understand although there were more than a few times that I wanted to warn her that speaking up may not be the wisest choice. Reyna was confused by Beckham, or Becks, at times and he was very hard to read during parts of the book especially at the start of the story.

This book had enough excitement to keep things very interesting. The world that the book is set in is a little different than I have read before so I really enjoyed just getting to experience the world along with Reyna. The book did take a few rather exciting turns. I was able to guess a few of the twists but others came as a total surprise. I really liked Becks and Reyna together and thought that they had fantastic chemistry but this was definitely a romance that was very slow to start.

I would recommend this book to fans of paranormal romance. This book does end with a lot of unresolved issues that will most likely be dealt with in the next book in the series. I am very excited that we will get the chance to watch the relationship between Reyna and Becks develop over the course of the series. I can't wait to read more of this amazing series!

A steamy romance that will draw the reader in slowly and entangle them completely. Great chemistry and smooth writing will keep the reader flipping pages.

Blood Type was my first novel by this author, and also my first time reading a paranormal book in a really long time!

I was intrigued by the blurb and thought I’d take a chance.

I’m not used to reading books that aren’t written in first person, but after the first chapter or so I adjusted and hardly noticed the difference.

With that being said, OMG did this Book absolutely blow me away!

K.A Linde created a world that was fascinating, and kept me anxiously swiping to the next page as I devoured every word!

Full of suspense that will keep you holding your breath and pacing as you wonder what happens next, this book was completely unputdownable!

The chemistry and sexual tension between Reyna and Beckham sizzled, and the fact that this book is written in Reyna’s POV only adds to the mystery that is Beckham.

With an ending that left me screaming, all I can say is I NEED MORE!!!

I have read some of K.A. Linde’s books (I loved the Record series) and when I saw she was writing a series set in a dark world with vampires and blood escorts, I couldn’t resist it, I just knew I had to read it.
This is the first book in this series, so there’s a lot of world/civilization details and I absolutely loved the world building, the descriptions, the dynamics between humans and vampires, everything was beautiful written and I could actually picture this unique world and its civilization in my head.
Vampires are ruling the world while most humans are extremely poor and struggle to survive, Reyna is 21 years old, she can’t get a job because she has no college education and she can’t go back to college because she doesn’t have the money for it. I think the best word to define Reyna is brave. She’s definitely very brave, she feels like a burden to her brothers, who work endless shifts so they can survive as a family, but they’re scrambling and Reyna knows it and for her brother’s sake she sacrifices herself… by getting a new job as a blood escort.
Beckham is a rich, big, brooding, hot, mysterious vampire, a top executive in Visage, the vampire company that pairs vampires to human blood escorts with the same blood type. Visage puts Reyna with Beckham and everything in her world changes. She has money, some freedom but she’s now moving in a whole different circle. A dangerous circle where trust doesn’t come easy and it can be fickle…
I won’t be giving away too many details, I can only say that I’ve read Blood Type in one sitting, I was immersed in this complex world and invested in Reyna and Beckham’s relationship. The push and pull, the amazing chemistry between them, all of the secrets that Beckham was keeping just added more tension and depth to their story. Honestly, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough! And then K.A. Linde hit me with an out of this world cliffhanger that left me screaming into my kindle… I have to say there was a thing or two that did bother me near the end (specifically, Beckham’s reaction to an event that led him to leave Reyna alone and Reyna’s reaction to Beckham’s, how can I put it without spoiling it, hmmm, momentary lapse of reason – you’ll get it if you read the book), and that made me lower the rating from 5/5 to 4/5 stars.
I highly recommend this stunning beginning to the Blood Type series and I can’t wait to get my hands on Blood Match because I’m dying to know what happens next!

Finally, I can share with the people my review of Blood Type by K.A. Linde. I am definitely a fan of hers and was captivated by the Wright series and am anxiously awaiting whatever is to come afterwards, but Blood Type, was definitely different. It was different because it was a paranormal romance that was dark and dank in some parts and bright and sunny in others. K.A. Linde introduced me to an area where vampires were running the government by providing a small sliver of hope for humans after an economic meltdown.



The setting was during a time where the haves had and the have nots were nearly destitute and equally desperate for anything or just something and this is where we find Reyna Carpenter. She is truly at the end of her rope and desperately applies for a position with Visage who specializes in body employment services. Once hired, she would go on to live with a vampire and allow him to feed off of her and in exchange she will be well compensated and well taken care of for the duration of her employment.


For these elite vampires and Visage, beyond the sky is the limit. They have wealth and luxuries beyond measure and Reyna did not have a clue as to what she was getting into when her blood type matched her with the dark and mysterious Beckham Anderson. Within seconds of signing, Reyna's life changes and she has no idea what is in store for her or the fate of her family as she whisked away to what reads for her like a whole new world.


In her new life, there is lust, love, luxuries, and a crap ton of the unexpected that awaits her, except what she expects, which the touch of Beckham. You see, Beckham is an odd one. Like really odd and so cold at times that you can feel the chill of his presence. He was a mystery inside of a mystery, but there was clearly something brewing between him and Reyna that was undeniable in the midst of his oddities. One minute he's hot and the next he is a block of ice. One day he clings close, while another day avoidance is his weapon of choice. It was a bit much and at one point I thought he was just crazy.


I digress. I enjoyed Blood Type and am going to give it 5-stars, even though it was a tad slow in the beginning and it took me a little while to connect with the characters. I mean like in one part Reyna was talking about how long it had been since her last shower...that ain't cute. All in all, I will recommend that you run and read Blood Type by K.A. Linde, because this author is definitely a storyteller. Also, this is especially a good read if you have a thing for vampires...particularly if you are a fan of the television series True Blood.

OAN this is one part of a series, so expect a cliffhanger.

The thing that I liked most of all the book, by far, is the setting. Worldbuilding is full-bodied and vivid. We are in a post-economic collapse society, poverty is rampant and only a select few live well if not normally.
The suffering, the trudging every day, the filth, the greyness, everything stands out as if there were a lighthouse aimed at.
Everything has the taste of District 12 on one side and District 1 on the other.

And then there are the characters.
If I tell you that they are very well characterized, do you believe me? Well, yes, okay, not all the characters are very well characterized, vampires are. And also the villains. Reyna, on the other hand... oh well, you know that I'm almost never a fan of heroines.
Let's start with the vampires: they are a bit modernized in their ability to get out in the sunlight, but at the same time they maintain the lust and blood-thirst typical of old horror films. Men or women do not care, they crave blood and living in a civilized society does not make them more human. I must say that the two villains are very creepy.
As for Beckham, he is beautiful and damned. He is different, but I can not tell you how.

The relationship between the two protagonists reminded me a lot of the manga "Midnight Secretary" and I liked it a lot because, even if that comic is the trash fair, it always manages to involve me.
And "Blood Type" was not different. It involved me from beginning to end, thanks to a very simple and super smooth style.

What did not convince me - beyond the protagonist who is a bit Tris in "Insurgent" - is only a scene towards the end but is forgotten in a hurry thanks to the cliffhanger that, fortunately, removes the effect "Twilight" to the whole thing (not that I have anything against Twilight, I continue to adore him like the first time, but here he was not there).

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!

The cover is okay, but it doesn’t really say paranormal/vampires!

This is the first book in a new Vampire series, and it is the first time I’ve read anything by this author. This is for adults only due to the violence and steamy content! Also it does end in a cliffhanger which had me screaming because I wanted to know what happened next!

This world is very interesting and unique. I haven’t read anything quite like it before. Humanity is suffering, and Reyna is just trying to help her family the only way she can. This world twists and turns and keeps you guessing. I kept reading not quite sure what would happen next or if I would understand the implications of each new thing discovered. I still have a lot of questions about the vampires in this world as well as the politics. I like Beckham, but he definitely had some moments where I wanted to slap him. I need to know what happens to both Reyna and Beckham!

I high recommend to any Vamp fans who need a unique world that you haven’t seen before! I can’t wait for the next book!!

Blood Type is the first book in the Blood Type Series. A paranormal romance set in a futuristic world, K.A. Linde has crafted a story full of complex characters, passion, and romance. In a world where vampires rule, Reyna Carpenter has decided to make a financial arrangement with a vampire. She agrees to live with him and agrees that he can drink her blood. In exchange, she will have all the money in the world. Beckham Anderson is one vampire that seems impossible to please. As Reyna and Beckham learn to live together and struggle to find the middle ground between their very different worlds, a connection is formed and both can't seem to stop themselves from crossing the line.

Told in dual POV, Blood Type introduces a twisted world where nothing is quite as it seems. Beckham is such a mystery and his broody "alpha" persona is a perfect match for Reyna. The supporting characters certainly enhanced the plot as Reyna's brothers and Beckham's business partners cannot help but insert themselves right in the middle of it all. As each piece of the plot is revealed, the intrigue intensifies and the line between right and wrong becomes blurred.

Overall, I highly recommend Blood Type to anyone who enjoys a well crafted paranormal romance with complex characters, action, and passion. This is my first K.A. Linde read and I am certainly desperate for more! Lucky for me Blood Match will be coming out soon! I cannot wait to find out what happens next!

Blood Type is the first book in a new series by KA Linde. This book is amazing and a great start to this series. I don’t read very many PNR novels but I wanted to read this one because I love Ms Linde’s writing. She definitely did not disappoint me; there was a unique story line, romance, friendship, and the angst I crave.

Reyna went to work for Visage to help support her brothers. She was unable to find work anywhere so she applied to be a blood escort for the wealthy vampires. I loved this girl; she was full of spirit, was beautiful and was an all around good person. Beckham Anderson was who she was matched up with for her job. He was demanding, controlling, intimidating and very handsome. He had his moments when I loved him and others when I couldn’t see how Renya but up with him. You could feel the push and pull between them, it was palpable.

This story had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen in the end. It was full of twists and turns; just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, it would change gears and go another direction. I loved this story so much. Vampires have never really interested me much but Becks has me wanting to get bit! I cannot wait to read Blood Match to see what happens next.
