Linde's Blood Type series is definitely one of my favorite PNR reads to date. Blood Cure is the finale to this series and all books MUST be read in order.

Linde ended this series perfectly. After we received that soul shattering cliff hanger in book two, I was not sure where this story would take us. And I won't tell you anything that happens either - one tiny detail would be like giving too much away.

Reyna and Beckham truly grow in this book. Not just together, but individually. Reyna shows her true calling and steps up when she is needed most. But the relationship between Beckham and Reyna is truly remarkable - individually they are tough and strong, but together, they are indestructible.

"He was the king of his people and she was the queen of hers."

I loved all the aspects of this book - the romance, the suspense and the whole take on paranormal. Linde definitely stands out with this series. Each book is great and she wraps is up perfectly with Blood Cure.

The books picks up after the New Year’s Eve shooting and bombing the bunker of Elle. We didn’t know what had happened to David and Laura since they were at the bunker. Nor what happened to Brian, after being taken during a raid that turned into a trap. With what’s left of Reyna’s family in the wind I didn’t know if she would be able to carry on or give in to Harrington. Blood Cure is the conclusion in the Blood Type Series. It was fast paced romance. Each chapter something new came to light and you were able to see how much stronger Beckham and Reyna grew. You could see how much Beckham didn’t want Reyna in the face of danger, but that he trusted her. I loved the fact that they could feel and share each other's emotions and powers. The bond that they have, was one I truly loved and it was written magically. A truly amazing book and series!

Wow... where do I start!

I really can’t say a lot in this review without giving anything away! The way the Blood Match ended was shocking and a major cliffhanger. So, all I can really say was this book was really good!
It had me all over the place! I was happy, sad and anxious. It was like I couldn’t read fast enough.
All these characters in this book have had to endure so much pain... But we also see each character grow. And try to find a bit of happiness whenever they can.

I loved Reyna's character. From Blood Type to Blood Cure her character has transformed the most. She went from this scared girl trying to help her family to this strong women putting all her fears aside to help mankind.

I loved how this book was wrapped up. It leaves you satisfied with the outcome of it. I would strongly suggest this series to everyone. You won’t be disappointed!

Reyna Carpenter became a blood escort to help her family. She never expected to fall in love with her brooding and dark vampire sponsor, Beckham Anderson.
Now that she lost her family and the love of her life, Reyna must stay strong to lead the rebels and try to save all humans.

Blood Cure is the conclusion of Reyna and Beckham's epic love story and what a finale! This book is filled with drama, angst, surprises, and twists, with the perfect amount of laughter, sweet moments, and sexy scenes.

Reyna changed a lot throughout the story. She became a fierce and strong young woman. She's a fighter that'll do anything for the ones she loves, even if that means risking her own life. But she's still sweet and kind, being the perfect balance to Beckham's dark side.
Beckham is still a dark and brooding man, but he's also very gentle, especially with Reyna. He'll do anything for her, although sometimes he ends up hurting Reyna's feelings.

K.A. Linde did a phenomenal job with the Blood Type series. Reyna and Beckham's story is beautifully written and it's very easy to connect with the characters and immerse in their world. Linde takes us in a rollercoaster ride of emotions from the first page of Blood Type that only finishes in the last page of Blood Cure. If you love paranormal romances, Blood Type is the series for you!

I loved this trilogy. Reyna and Beckham's story pulled me in and the ending was awesome. I really enjoyed the authors writing and will be reading more of her stories.

This series was an edge of your seat experience. And book three was everything I wanted and more. I'm usually not a big fan of paranormal but Blood Cure gave me huge feelings of the suspense and lust and had a vision of a hunger game type movie running through my head. I could so see this series as a big blockbuster.

I can't give away story plots because I don't want to ruin the thrill of the read. But know that this book will have you on edge and turning pages fast to see what happens next. I truly enjoyed this series!

Wow. This series is EPIC!
Blood Cure picks up right after the Blood Match events and even though we had to wait for a month to read this series conclusion, I was shocked after that crushing cliffhanger and I remained in shock when I started reading it. So, the book starts a little chaotic as it should after that Blood Match ending, and even though it lessens its fast pace through the middle of the book, it picks it up again with a few events that are, to say the least, mind blowing.
Blood Cure is a page turner, with lots of suspense, lessons of true loyalty, amazing character chemistry, a fantastic plot and an epic love story, it kept me guessing “Who, what, when?!” and I was so invested in Reyna’s feelings, her strength, Elle’s fate, Gabe and Meghan, I loved to get to know Washington’s back-story, and I just wanted to jump right in and help them to take Visage and Harrington down! I’m very curious about Graves and I’m hoping that maybe we’ll get a awesome new series with him.
Blood Match, the second book in this series, remains my favorite but Blood Cure was definitely a stunning series finale and just when I thought I knew how it was going to end… BAM! K.A. Linde is an amazing story teller and the Blood Type series is definitely a must read.

3 1/2 stars. Blood Cure is the last in the Blood Type Series. It allows the reader to get lost in a fascinating dystopian paranormal universe. Admittedly, I have not read any of the previous and must start by recommending you not(seriously don’t) make my mistake and start with this book. This story dives right into the middle of the action and kills our hero in the first scene. Like *poof* he’s gone. As a reader I was saying, what? But I was given this as an ARC and, therefore, stuck it out.
There are quite a few fun twists in the story of Beckham and Reyna. In this book we read Reyna lose her soulmate and pick herself up. However, I’m not entirely sold on this character. That being said, the bond between her and Beckham is well portrayed and enjoyable (and spoiler: he returns...yes, great relief her soulmate wasn’t gone forever).
Writing style and world building: excellent!

Overall: Good read. Probably not a re-read for me. I think readers would enjoy it most if the first two in the series are read first.

Blood Cure by K.A. Linde picked right back up where Blood Match left off. I had hoped that this third and final installment of the Blood Type series would begin with Reyna awakening from a nightmare and somehow things were all right again. However, the beginning was what is what, the aftermath of what had began a new new world order of events.



Reyna Carpenter has really grown since the beginning of the series and continues her growth as she tries to right the wrongs of Visage. She is definitely not the almost annoying heroine we were introduced to in Book One, Blood Type. Her growth and adventures made Blood Cure a page turner, finger swiping read that left me with very little I can tell you without telling you every thing, and I don't believe in spoilers...well at least not today. But I guarantee you that there are enough twist and turns and ups and downs that will leave your head spinning.


This book was emotional. Like really emotional, from the lowest of the lows, to love and lost, to triumphs ever lasting, however, this was not my favorite of the series. There was so much chaos...good, horrible, and indifferent and by the last word I was left with more questions. I mean I don't think my questions would warrant another book in the series, but there were questions all the same.



I digress. This book did what it needed to do by tying up most of its loose ends to complete this series, and for that I am going to give this one 4.5-stars and recommend that you run and read Blood Cure, by K.A. Linde.

Wahhhhhhhhhh, it’s all over and I’m just a puddle of tears … OKAY, maybe that’s a stretch, but I’m sad that we finally got the conclusion to Reyna and Beckham’s story. I’ve been completely hooked on this series since book 1 and I am so thankful that we didn’t have to wait too long in between to get the next book. Such a great conclusion to this trilogy!

After the way things ended in Blood Match, I’m sure we were all there with our jaws on the floor waiting to see what would happen next. Blood Cure picks up right where it ended in the previous book and you’re quickly thrown into the action. My heart was completely broken for what Reyna went through at the end of the last book, but I refused to accept the truth about a certain thing because there was no way! (Thankfully, Linde didn’t make us wait too long to learn the truth.) However, what she went through and accepting that there isn’t a time to mourn, she locks down her emotions and works toward the end goal. If anything, it empowered her even if she was suppressing all of the pain.

Watching Reyna’s personal journey has been one of my favorites, she’s so different than how she was when we were first introduced to her. She’s fierce, protective and so damn strong in every sense of the word.

The world building has been amazing, Linde did a phenomenal job with it. I love the vampire world, but that extra bit about blood matches kept me so intrigued the entire time. And more is added to it in this one. I found it all so fascinating and an amazing twist on the vampire/human world.

Blood Cure was packed with plenty of action to go around. Reyna and Beckham are absolutely perfect together and I loved seeing Becks get even more protective of Rey. Maybe a bit overbearing, but watching Becks walls come down little by little has been another favorite of mine to watch.

Such an epic trilogy that I hope we see more of with some of the other characters; truly a unique story in every way! Highly recommend to all you PNR lovers out there!

Blood Cure is the third book in the Blood Type series. This series gets better with each book. I’m not usually a paranormal fan but Beckham has made me love vampires. He is the best Book boyfriend ever. Reyna is pretty amazing too. I have loved watching her grow and reach her full potential in each book. Blood Cure is a great addition to this series.

It’s full of all the feels and the angst had me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t read this book fast enough. I’m so wrapped up in this world of vampires, humans, and blood escorts that this book consumed my mind and heart.

The writing is amazing! Ms Linde pulled me into this series from the get go. I had to know what was going to happen next. I couldn’t get enough of Reyna and Beckham. They are perfection together with chemistry that is off the charts. Even if you’re not normally a paranormal fan you have to read this series...it’s that good! This is one of my all time favorite series!

“Beckham Anderson had stolen her heart, he owned her body, and as they came together, their souls touched.”
This quote perfectly sums up my thoughts!! An amazing character and entertaining read!

The end of book 2 left me sobbing and rocking in a corner, but I trust this author. I knew she’d make it all better eventually. And that’s exactly what she did!!!

Holy hell, the return of my sexy vampire Lord was one of the best damn scenes she’s ever written! I was shouting and clapping like a crazy person. My heart!!

So.......after things get somewhat back on track, we see the fight for justice resume. What I’ve loved all along about this series is the fact that it touches on current political and social issues we face in this country. Don’t get me wrong...it’s not overtly political or propagandist. However, there are threads of social justice issues that translate to everyday life. Very witty, I must say, of the author to construct the novel in this manner.

Ultimately, what I adored most, are the characters! I’ve been head over tits in love with Beckham since Book 1, but in this 3rd installment, we witness Reyna’s strength and resolve. She really comes into her own. Her progression has been the greatest and I love the woman she becomes. The plot is phenomenal and the pace really picks up in this book. It’s exciting, emotional, suspenseful, and was an absolute joy to read.

I highly recommend the series!

My stomach was in knots. My palms were sweating. My mind was gone. My heart beating so hard with anticipation. With gusto. With pain. With love. I was scared. I was itching. I was completely overcome with chills deep in my bones. Because of Blood Cure. Let me tell you, Blood Match left me so emotional. I could not recover at all. I was so terrified to start Blood Match because emotionally ruined me. I decided to go in because I loved the series so far and I had to know the ending. K.A. Linde, you are amazing. I bow at your feet. Blood Cure PIERCED my soul. My heart was heavy joy. My skin was ablaze. Blood Cure COMPLETED me. Actually, Blood Cure cured me. Cured my heart. Cured my soul. So perfect. So alluring. So intense. I felt every single sentence. I felt every single magic coming from a riveting paranormal romance. Blood Cure was my UNDOING. Blood Cure was my RECKONING. Blood Cure was my REMEDY. K.A. Linde delivered an exhilarating conclusion. ROCKED me. TANTALIZED me. OVERTOOK my waking thoughts. HAUNTED my dreams.

Blood Cure is the anticipated conclusion to this rich and exciting series. This is the book I have been waiting for. A book that completes a series. A book that ties all the loose ends together. Blood Cure split my heart into two. Blood Cure severed my soul in half. Every page was blinding hot. Every page echoed. Every page was dripping in honey and sin. Every page just offered a delicious snack. I had my fill of it. I took a bite and enjoyed a spectacular romance with a gripping plot. Explosive. Heart Twisting. Heart Stopping. Show Stopping. Incredible. Blood Cure is a sensational paranormal romance with twists and turns, paralyzing drama and hot action. Blood Cure was chaos. Blood Cure was mayhem. Blood Cure was mind bending goodness that filled my bloodstream. I was shaken to the core. I was turned inside and out. K.A. Linde is like a painting. Vivid. Descriptive. Touching. Her writing just holds you till you think only of her words. Blood Cure takes you on a journey of survival, action, battle of good vs evil and love neatly tied in a magnetic paranormal adventure. It is not just a simple vampire story but it is a paranormal escape.

Beckham and Reyna faced so much adversity, loss, obstacles, love and pain. I rooted for them. I adored them. I freaking fell in love with them. With their emotions. With their chemistry. With their love. They faced evil forces to come back stronger. Beckham and Reyna are totally one of my favourite paranormal characters because they exude so much affection and true love. They are the epitome of soul mates destined to be together. They definitely brought so much energy into the story, I am definitely enchanted.

I am not ready to let go. I read this series because it opened my eyes to a mesmerizing journey of a book that assaulted everything inside of me. Thank K.A. Linde for the perfect paranormal romance that touched my heart.

After I finished Blood Match I was nervous. I know that Linde will have a great reason for the cliffhanger that sucked me into this series but I was still nervous how this series would end. But I didn't have to worry. The beginning of the book starts right at the end of the last book and it sucks you in straight away. You are in a literal page-turner and can't look back.

I felt like the middle of book lagged a little but when you get to the climax of the book you can't look away!

The ending was satisfying and not. I felt like I needed more from the characters. I want to keep following them for the rest of their lives. And that's what I look for in a good book and from a good writer. Characters I want to keep reading about. Story lines I want to keep going.

I loved the series as a whole. I'm not normally a paranormal reader but this series was a great read. Can't wait to see what's next!

Blood Cure picks up right where book two, Blood Match, left off, which was a bloody good thing seeing as the book ended on an absolute beast of a cliffhanger!

Elle, the human/vampire rebel organisation fighting to prevent the insidious enslavement of humans by Visage, is in chaos their leadership and the majority of their members missing or dead and the survivors trying to evade capture and rally.

Our leading lady Reyna is reeling from the fate of her love, Beckham, and her remaining family. Rather than completely fall apart, Reyna steps up to the plate to pull together the tattered pieces of the organisation she unwittingly became a part of and eradicate the corruption of Visage, once and for all.

The book was full of action and moments that pulled painfully on the heartstrings with plenty of twists and turns to keep things interesting.
(Although one twist was painfully obvious if this was going to be considered a romance…)

I can't say a huge amount more without risking spoilers (and spoilers would seriously spoil this series) but what I can say is certain characters get their comeuppance (and I may have cheered and ranted that the manner of their deaths was too good for them) and other characters are lost who didn't deserve to die.

The blood match between Reyna and Beckham is explored and a discovery made that will revolutionise this world.

Good conquers evil and the world becomes a less miserable, and bleak, place in which people have hope and options again.

It was a very good end to a very good series.

Blood Cure by K.A. Linde is the highly anticipated third book and the conclusion to the Blood Type Series.
Blood Cure is not a standalone. You must read the previous books, Blood Type and Blood Match, first.
The story picks up where Blood Match left off. Reyna Carpenter is part of the rebellion and just had to see how her lover was killed. She´s devastated, but there´s non time to mourn. The rebels have to hide, fast.
Blood Cure is a fast paced, nailbiting, captiavting read. The story had me hooked from page one and I read the book in one sitting, I had to know what happens to the characters.
The story is set in a PNR dystopian world, beautifully thought out, beautifully written and beautifully told. I loved reading Beckham and Reyna´s story and their so well desrved HEA.

The Blood Type series has been an absolute favorite of mine since the very beginning. Linde gave us some much in Blood Cure and wrapped up this whole entire series perfectly with this book. I feel like if anyone ever needs a good paranormal binge read then this series should be at the top of their list.

We left off at the end of Blood Match with a huge cliffhanger. Things were crazy chaotic, Reyna’s world was in shambles, and the future for this world was definitely unclear. Without giving away anything, let me just say that when Blood Cure dropped on my kindle I had to drop everything and pick it up. Straight from the start the book falls into where book two left off…with a fast pace and emotions immediately running high. And that’s how it lasted throughout the entire book; my heart was all over the place, but by the end Linde gave me exactly what I needed out of this series.

Throughout this series we see so much personal growth in Reyna and Beckham, but I’ve got to say that Blood Cure showed their strength as a couple beautifully. At times, for me, Reyna can be too much, but I feel like it fits with the world that she’s in. Beckham…my sweet Beckham, will forever be one of my favorite vamps. The bond that he and Reyna share is amazingly portrayed and I loved watching them come together stronger than ever when it mattered the most. Just like with the other two books in the series, their chemistry if off the charts, but you can definitely see there is more to them as a couple than that.

Overall, I loved everything about this series, and this book in particular was just icing on the cake. It was a beautiful close to a wonderful series. The premise was intriguing, the pace was perfect in that it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time, and the characters were just beautiful in the way that Linde showed them. I can’t wait for many more great things from this author!

Finally Reyna is coming more into her self and using the naïvety she had and book one. So refreshing. So much went on in this book. I could not put it down. I was so enthralled with this book that I immediately picked up at three. It is a guaranteed action-packed, cliffhanger, incredible book. Enjoy!

Wow, I'm not sure if I can do this book justice. What a great finale to the series.
Thanks Netgalley for the arc
