Blood Bonds

Garnet Dagger Mafia, Book 1

By: Stephanie Hudson

Narrated by: M.K. Blackwood, C.J. Grey

Hello, my name is Vanessa.

No, I don't have a drinking problem, and nor is this my opening line for an AA meeting.

No, what I did do, though, was witness a murder.

A very gruesome murder.

A mafia murder.

Because clearly, I don't do things by halves.

Which means I am now being hunted.

The problem is I have not only been thrust into the dark underbelly of a crime syndicate… but it seems this one fights their wars with Fangs, not just guns, making them doubly dangerous.

Because, wouldn't you know, Vampires aren't just hot guys on screens that are addicted to the taste of blood.

No, they are deadly real.

Emphasis on the deadly part, as now they have their sights set on me. Oh, and the ones hunting me, just so happen to be the ones that own this damn city. A menacing, utterly terrifying twin brother duo that are admittedly hotter than the Hell they most likely came from and have more muscles for me to count. Especially when running as fast as my short legs will take me from both of them.

Meaning there is nowhere for this unlucky shop assistant to hide. See, didn't I tell you that I didn't do things by halves?

Well, this is my story, and in it, I am also cursed with a deadly attraction to both of them.

Now all I can hope for is that my blood doesn't taste as sweet as they are both convinced it will, and this city-sized obsession they seem to have with me will fizzle out soon.

Because as it stands, they seem determined not just to capture me but to tie me up and keep me forever entangled in their eternal…

Blood Bonds.

Riviting story

I loved the characters and the storyline. I hope for book 2 to be out soon.

1st book in series

I always enjoy this author's writing, and this book did not disappoint. I'm anxiously waiting for the next book in the series to be released.

Ahh

Son of a bitch. This ends on a cliffhanger. Be warned.
Slow burn with two brother vamps wanting one woman. There is heat in this book before they go all the way to keep you interested;)

OK LISTEN - BUT TRILOGY WARNING

I enjoyed this listen and happily continued the story following the characters into book 2. Vampire twins find their soulmate but she thinks the instant attraction, possessiveness and “ours” claims are just symptoms of a witch’s curse so stubbornly fights it. Not really any ‘Mafia’ yet. However, another CLIFFHANGER at the end of book 2 but there is no sign of book 3 being available in audio format yet (03/05/26). 😫

Worth a credit? Heroine was a bit frustrating, there were a lot of “he said she said I said and all the variations on that. However, the narration was pretty good and the story was different - so entertaining enough for me to get book 2.. and look for book 3. So yes, for me this, and book 2, were creditworthy.

A great start to a new ensemble of characters

I enjoyed the story. The voice actors did a phenomenal job expressing the characters emotions and delivered well written comedic dialog! Can't wait for book two
