Publisher's summary

Set in the same world as the New York Times best-selling Jane Yellowrock novels, an all-new series starring Nell Ingram, who wields powers as old as the earth.

When Nell Ingram met skinwalker Jane Yellowrock, she was almost alone in the world, exiled by both choice and fear from the cult she was raised in, defending herself with the magic she drew from her deep connection to the forest that surrounds her.

Now, Jane has referred Nell to PsyLED, a Homeland Security agency policing paranormals, and agent Rick LaFleur has shown up at Nell's doorstep. His appearance forces her out of her isolated life into an investigation that leads to the vampire Blood Master of Nashville.

Nell has a team - and a mission. But to find the Master's kidnapped vassal, Nell and the PsyLED team will be forced to go deep into the heart of the very cult Nell fears, infiltrating the cult and a humans-only terrorist group before time runs out....

My new favorite series!

Would you listen to Blood of the Earth again? Why?

I love this new series! I am a big Gardner and I can so relate to the character, Nell. Her love for her woods, animals, garden and desire to be left alone. Yet she learns to open and let in people allowing her to grow from an already strong woman to an outstanding woman. Again Faith has outdone herself, creating characters that are entertains and a story you can become lost in.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

without giving anything away, one seen in particular had me laughing out loud at work! I still giggle visualizing it!

Any additional comments?

Can't wait for the next book!

Love this book!

I've read all of Faith Hunter's books, I think that BotE is her best yet! I enjoyed listening to it so much that I listened to it twice in one week.
I am ready for the next book, Curse on the land- coming out in November!

Amazing!!

I am a huge fan of Faith Hunter. I think Nell and Occam are two of my favorite fictional characters. Nell is introduced to PsyLed by Jane Yellowrock after helping her rescue a vamp. If you like Yellowrock's books, you absolutely need to experience Soulwood! And I love the narrator. The East TN accent isn't overdone and honestly sounds like home. Very well done all around!!!

A wonderful new group of beings to know and love.

Would you consider the audio edition of Blood of the Earth to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the printed version but it would make a good special occasion gift.

What other book might you compare Blood of the Earth to and why?

The characters are unique so I really wouldn't compare it to another book.

Have you listened to any of Khristine Hvam’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first Khristine Hvam performance. I look forward to the next.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The woman of the woods knows you're there.

Any additional comments?

Happy to know this is a series.

Tanya

This side series takes place not long after Jane Yellowrock meets Nell and should be listened to before continuing the Jane Yellowrock series.
