Publisher's summary

When the human and the vampire worlds collide, there will be hell to pay. Luca Ambrus is a rare breed: Vampire from birth, begotten by vampire parents, blood born. He is also an agent of the Council - the centuries-old cabal that governs vampirekind, preserving their secrecy and destroying those who betray them.

When a cryptic summons leads him to the scene of the brutal killing of a powerful Council member, Luca begins the hunt for an assassin among his own people. But instead of a lone killer he discovers a sinister conspiracy of rogue vampires bent on subjugating the mortal world.

All that stands in their way are the conduits, humans able to channel spirit warriors into the physical world to protect mankind. Chloe Fallon is a conduit - and a target of the vampire assassin who’s killing them. When Luca saves her life, an irresistible bond of trust - along with more passionate feelings - is forged between them. As more victims fall, Chloe and Luca have only each other to depend on to save the world from the reign of monsters - and salvage their own future together.

Blood Born

This was a very enjoyable story. The world building & characters were all so well done. Even the plot/conflict was comprehensible/logical. My only complaint is that this appears to be the start of a series that didn’t get the green light to continue & there will be no more books like it. 😢

The narrator did a great job, also. I would listen to another book narrated by her again, no problem! 👍

Dont Spend the Money or Credit!

I read all the great reviews and I must say, I was excited. I purchased this audio book and immediately started to listen to it. I kept waiting for it to get better and stop jumping around, it didn't. The narrator was horrible and I just turned it off after the first 3 hours. I'm sure the book itself is ok but I couldn't bare to listen to any more. I am disappointed and upset that I wasted my money.
