Blood Wager

Blood Destiny, #1

By: Connie Suttle

Narrated by: Traci Odom

"I agree to pay Sergio Velenci one million pounds if the female takes less than nine days to fully turn."

Lissa's life as a vampire begins on the day her husband is removed from life support. Turned by rogues who wager her life, Lissa is running from her maker who is determined to kill her, hunted by the Council who has branded her a rogue and blackmailed by werewolves, who utilize her newly developed talents for their own gain.

As I was reading about this it made me think about the Bloody Jack series. Very different story but the same light funny storytelling. I hope to see more of these come to Audible.

Butt Kickin' Heroine

What made the experience of listening to Blood Wager the most enjoyable?

This character kicks butt and takes names. She has a fantastic way about her and she doesn't take trash from anyone. On the worst day of her life, she is turned into a vampire which just makes life worse. What does she do? She takes lemons and turns it into a lemonade enterprise.

They need to get the rest of these books on audio. I read the synopsis of these books on Amazon and I want to listen to them. I am being lazy, but I might have to buy them and read them if they don't show up here soon. Its just hard to hold a book and do other things at the same time

A good read and a good listen

I found the author thru the narrator who is one of my favorites. I really enjoyed the story and am continuing to read/listen to the series. Am on number 4 now. I like Lissa the main character because I think she tries to survive while trying her best to live up to her own standards of behavior. She also gets mad, sad, and frustrated. She still behaves like her old self while the other characters in the book are reacting to her new incarnation as a Vampire. I've purchased both the Kindle and Audio version and expect this to be one of those books that I re-visit more than once.Traci Odom is one of my favorite Narrators/Readers and I found this series while looking for more Vampire in America books. She brings this book alive while not intruding on the experience.

Interesting start to the series

Although I thought that too much happened in this story, and the patriarchal society a little overbearing, the twists and turns nonetheless kept me riveted. I am hoping that our heroine becomes stronger as the series progresses.
