Bo Blackman, Book 2

De: Helen Harper

Narrado por: Saskia Maarleveld

Bo Blackman is not adjusting to her new life as a fledgling vampire particularly well. Drinking blood sickens her and, despite her new enhanced physical skills and the attention she's receiving from Lord Montserrat, she's desperate to find a cure. When her illegal search takes her to the door of Fingertips and Frolics, a small family-run magic shop, she becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of tit-for-tat with murderous consequences. To complicate matters further, she's forced to also take on a case of apparent kidnapping. But with no ransom demand and a client she despises, it may be more of a struggle to solve than she realises.

New Order: Bo Blackman, book2

I loved the story the characters along with the narrative. I can't wait for the next book chapter 3. I need to know about Bo & Micheal romance. waiting anxiously. Peggy

Leaves you wanting the next instalment

The second in Helen Harper's Bo Blackman leaves off from where the first finished, and doesn't disappoint. The action moves along, and the characters believable. The narration adds to the enjoyment

Got used to the writing style for this 2nd book!

I finally got used to the first person, preasant tense style of writing.

I enjoy the characters. The main character going against the norm and is her own black sheep. The others entertain me as well. The relationships are somewhat predictable, but I find it comfortably entertaining anyway.

Overall, I didn't want to put this down and finished it in a day and a half.

Fun and exciting

Despite some less then ideal turns of events for Bo, the story maintains a slightly gloomy feeling to it while keeping you thoroughly entertained. It is just as fun as the first one and sets the stage for (hopefully) many entertaining adventures in the future.
The performance is great. I must say that my favorite kind of narrator gets the story across in such a way that you don't even realize that it's being read to you because the story just flows, and that is really the case here. The performance feels effortless in a very nice way.

Hoping for more romance

While not as entranced as I was with the first Harper still provided some great entertainment. Overall I just felt this book lacked the touches of naughty romance the first book teased with and delayed it with an abrupt and silly reason.

The Story keeps moving

Bo Blackman can best be described as bumbling through Vamp Life causing chaos where she goes but she dies manage to clean it up and solve the problem.

took a bit to get going bit then it got good!

The female protagonist was kind of whiney, and irritating at the start bit once she went "out on her own" the book got soooo much better!

Can’t stand the main character.

I wanted to keep going, but the main character is repugnant. She’s rude, a poorly skilled fighter who has to get saved a lot, doesn’t take her limitations seriously, ungrateful, kinda stupid, and a bigot to boot. (Constantly referring to the vampires by a slur even after they correct her and tell her it’s offensive.) There’s really nothing there for me to admire or even relate to at this point.

I was able to overlook it in the first book, but the second became so annoying, i couldn’t remember why I was letting myself be annoyed. I may have been holding out for a sex scene, but I bet she ruins that too. (sigh)
