I do enjoy some vampire stories, but this was not it...Willow was... meh and boring ...and her chemistry with her enemy was boring as well.

Interesting storyline. I felt there was a lot of potential for follow up books. It was highly entertaining.

I could not finish this book. I tried on several occasions and if just did not hold my interest. Maybe others will enjoy it; which is why I am not rating this book anywhere but Netgalley.

I appreciate Netgalley and the publisher for providing me an e-copy of this book.

Unexpected love story with many twists and turns. There is action, intrigue and supernatural characters. It is a deep dive into opposites attract, with death and redemption mixed in. Family ties and obligations drive Adam to despair, can Willows save him and herself? You will have to read the book to find out. You will learn that vampire lore is changing and unification can save us all.

I loved the premise of this book. Dracula’s daughter living in the human world pretending to be human because she wants a normal life and I enjoyed it up until she and Adam slept together I was mad. He was so horrible to her. Experimented on her, tortured her and hated everything about her and yet she decided to choose him as her one and only mate??? It just made me mad Bc she was a strong a awesome character and for her to just disregard the way he treated her and choose to sleep with him anyways seemed so unbelievable and ridiculous. I can understand what drives Adam, wanting to cure his brother, his approach is extreme and his treatment of willow is awful but I understand his motives. When he slept with her it felt like pure lust not true feelings for her.

Before I start, I want to say this is my own opinion and by no means should anyone not read this book and form their own opinion.

I rarely DNF a book and hate to have to do this. I tried to like it. I really did. But all I kept thinking with each turn of the page was Witcher meets Bloodborne meets every other "hunter" PNR. The characters didn't appeal to me, the world was shallow and overused. I wanted so bad to attach and learn to care about them but I couldn't.

What i did like and find slightly different was the motive behind Adam's desire to capture and hold Willow hostage.

The book was very well-written with little errors and very nicely paced. That was refreshing in and of itself.

I recommend readers to form their own opinion. I simply wasn't in the author's target audience.

Willow doesn’t want to live in darkness, so she keeps her identity as a vampire secret while living amongst humans. All of that changes when a vampire feeds on a villager and a blood hunter comes to investigate. Soon, Willow is taken prisoner by a Blood Hunter. Adam has a plan to ‘saving’ his younger brother who was affected by the blood lust curse. Soon, these would-be enemies find an undeniable attraction and must work together with both vampires and blood hunters on their trail.

I was totally sucked in by the cover for Bloodborn but I am also a huge sucker for a good enemies-to-lovers troupe and love love love the paranormal vampire genre. Dracula and Zacharia were fun secondary characters. The plot and pacing were good and I really enjoyed to story as a whole.

I look forward to more by the author!

Bloodborn is an excellent example of combing the human and vampire romance! I was so impressed with the confident and daring nature of Adam the Bloodhunter. What really makes him stand out to me is Chapter Four. I love that Sydney allowed the romance to be a slow burn and having him develop conflicting values from the beginning makes his relations with Willow all much the more realistic and attractive. I would recommend this book to anyone like that enjoys reading vampire romance books with a historical setting.

I am always a huge fan of any vampire related series. This is the first one I’ve ever read that involves Dracula’s daughter. This is the story about desperation love and a thrilling adventure with lots of twists and turns. I can’t wait to see this series continue.
