Blood Mage

Dark Impulse, Book 1

De: Edmund Hughes

Narrado por: Erin Bateman

It’s been 12 years since Jack Masterson last set foot on Lestaron Island. Fresh out of college and lacking a clear direction in life, he’s been asked by his aunt and uncle to travel back to the place he once called home to settle his recently deceased grandfather’s estate. Jack has little to look forward to in regard to his return, outside of a chance to reacquaint himself with Katie, his childhood friend and former crush.

When Jack discovers that his grandfather wasn’t broke after all, as he’d been led to believe, he’s surprised. When he discovers that most of the old man’s monetary assets have been left to him, along with the employment contract of a cute, young maid, he’s virtually dumbfounded.

And when an old enemy of the Masterson family decides to strike in the wake of his grandfather’s passing, Jack is the natural target. After being turned into a monster by a beautiful woman who claims to be his new broodmother, he’s left with a new outlook on life, one that strides a thin line of moral judgment. Dark magic, enthralling powers, and a thirst for blood that just can’t seem to be sated. Would it really be so bad to give in?

Warning: This book contains graphic sex, a slow building harem, and increasingly disconcerting moral dilemmas.

Good story, decent narration

Hughes brings us a twist on the involuntary vampire scenario and twists in lots of sex driven situations with building tension throughout.

Can hear keyboard and mouse clicks

you can hear keyboard and mouse clicks in the background as well as pops on the p's but other than that ( maybe startup studio?) its great

Not what you think.

If that "slow building harem" brought you here, keep moving. No harem here. Just your typical person bitten by a vampire, but instead of embracing it, they despise. Not to mention the typical OVERLY GOOD MC. "Even if they did try to rob, rape, and probably kill this person. Biting them just isn't right." Well letting them go so they can do more bad stuff isn't the RIGHT thing to do either. SMH!

Don't forget the childhood friend you left as a kid, but find out he/she is engaged when you reunite. If you've seen any romcom, twilight, and the vampire diaries. Then you can guess everything that will happen in this book. Oh! Give all the male characters a womans voice while your at it.

small issues but not bad

here's one of my issues the main character is thrown into this world without knowing anything and no one is explaining how to survive really not just that the main character seems like he really doesn't care to learn if I was him puppy learning every fucking thing possible of how to survive my new situation or just be done with it and end it but that's me I do like most of the characters I definitely like the maid she's actually pretty cool or seems like the type that is going to be cool I would have forgot about that fucking friend of his of course like I said that is me to me it would make more sense

suffer through 90%, and you'll be excited for pt 2

this story is completely idiotic. For now, until i do a real review ill leave you with the worst logic breaking idiocy of this book so far. The MC is bullied physically and mentally by his 10 year old crush for hours into the book even though he is in complete control the entire time... waste of a possibly great series i think. (will re-review more thoroughly upon completion of 2nd half.)
