Blood Curse Series, Book 9

Narrated by: Eric G. Dove

Length: 9 hrs and 25 mins

Publisher's summary

Saxson Olaru is one of the select, the few, the elite....

As a ruthless sentinel sworn to protect the ancient Vampyr king and the house of Jadon, he has "HOJ" literally inscribed on his heart: a heart that was tragically broken centuries earlier, when human hunters slayed his mother and Dark Ones murdered his father. Having survived the unthinkable, he never dreamed he would come this close to another human predator, let alone a female pretending to be his destiny.

Kiera and Kyla Sparrow are twin sisters: humans, living very different lives. While Kiera is selfless, clever, and talented, Kyla is dark, duplicitous, and damaged - she belongs to a secret society of vampire-hunters, and she has sworn to destroy as many as she can.

When Saxson's Blood Moon appears in a February sky, and the matching constellation, Cetus the Sea Monster, appears on Kiera's wrist, Kyla knows exactly what it means: The celestial gods have chosen her beautiful sister to be the eternal mate of an immortal vampire - she just doesn't know which one.

And it really doesn't matter.

If Kyla can recreate the sacred emblem on her own inner wrist, she can take Kiera's place and commit the ultimate Blood Betrayal.

When duty, obedience, and honor clash with a deep, gnawing intuition, an honor-bound warrior will be forced to choose between allegiance to the house he loves and the quiet voice within, whispering: "Warning!"

One wrong move

One wrong choice

And all will be lost forever.

Intensely amazing

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely! I recommend the entire series. The books build on each other, the characters are fantastic and the story line is engaging.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love them all but, my oh my that Saxson had me at hello!

What does Eric G. Dove bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Eric is dynamic as the voice of Saxson. The dimension he gives all the characters is wonderful, he can bring you right into the story and hold you there.

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

I cried, cringed, laughed and screamed in fury. It has it all, the relationships are incredible so I felt the emotions of all of the characters. Bring your Kleenex and prepare to have your jaw hang open a few times.

Any additional comments?

Don't skip this book, it's everything you've come to expect from a Tessa Dawn book and more. She ventures into places that you would not think of and it leaves you wanting more. Brilliant!

A God-like immortal that lives to please ONLY you!

Where does Blood Betrayal rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book ranks right at the TOP of course! I love Tessa Dawn! She is an amazing author!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Blood Betrayal?

This is a tough one... I seriously LOVED the entire book!!

Which character – as performed by Eric G. Dove – was your favorite?

No debate here! Eric IS Saxson! Just as I envisioned him sounding!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If I had the time to sit and listen to it in one sitting... Believe me, I WOULD HAVE!

Any additional comments?

Like I said at the top... A God-like immortal vampire that was born and lives to please ONLY you? OH YES PLEASE! Can I have one?
Way to go Tessa you totally nailed it again! You never disappoint! With Saxton's story I went through a wide range of emotions. A scale from totally pissed to euphoric and most every other emotion in between!
At first, I really wanted to punch Kyla in the face! (Let me just say that the verdict is still out on that!)
As for Saxton… I say this; There is NO need to EVER suppress any kind of a growl… You can “growl” at me ANYTIME! In fact please do!
Dark Moon Vale… “BIG SIGH!”
All I can say is WOW! This is a totally EPIC series and this book is no exception! I can’t wait for Santos' book!
Thank you again Tessa! You ROCK!

"WOW" !

Once again Tessa has create another masterpiece that i could not put down! It grabbed me from the first chapter & i couldn't stop listening! Reading this series has been my escape time where i can only focus on the mystery of the blood curse. Thank you Tessa for giving me one of my most favorite series to slip away from the drama of real life and look forward to the next book to sink myself into. I have read the books, listen to the Audibles over and over and it's like reading/listening it for the first time. I recommend to anyone that has not read the series, jump in and you will never want to stop! I have both Audibles & books! reward yourself getting all, you will be excited as i am when i hear she has written another book and waiting for it to be delivered!

Wow!!Just wow!!

These books just get better and better! Read this series -this author is growing her own powers!

PURE MAGICAL SYNERGY

If you could sum up Blood Betrayal in three words, what would they be?

Pure magical synergy!!It is rare when both an author and a narrator can draw you into a world, bring it to life in fullliving color, and hold you there on the edge of your seat. Cringing. Gasping. Wanting more and more. The characters are 3 dimensional and seem so real. The scenes are stunning. And the story belongs on a big screen in Hollywood, although I wonder if any movie director could bring all this tension, beauty and surprise to life! Hats off to both Eric and Tessa - pure magical synergy.

AMAZING!!

Every book in this series is an absolute MUST read! Worth every credit and if you like the series Black Dagger Brotherhood, then you will lOVE this series. Pills every emotion you have. Can't put it down.

Twins can always pose a problem

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. There's a good twin and a bad twin. The bad twin knows about the Celestial God's way of choosing a mate for the vampyr's. So the bad twin switche's places with the good twin then causes all kinds of havoc.

It's an exciting story that keeps you guessing about what's going to happen. In the usual Dark Moon Vale way the story doesn't disappoint.

Tessa delivers on point as usual and Eric's performance is riveting.

Absolutely worth the credit.

Fantastic, scary book!

Tessa Dawn and Eric G Dove have nailed another great one! The plot thickens and the bad guys are bad!!! You can't go wrong with this thriller!

Great series!!

What did you love best about Blood Betrayal?

The whole book. There was nothing that I didn't like.

What other book might you compare Blood Betrayal to and why?

J. R. Wards "Black Dagger Brotherhood". This series is about vampires finding their mates and protecting the world from evil.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Saxson finds Kiera and saves her.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Knowing that Kiera had a sister who turned on her.

Any additional comments?

This whole series is great. I would recommend it to anyone who likes vampires and wants to read something different in the vampire genre.

Need more

As always, This book was excellent! I can't wait for the next in the series.
