Publisher's summary

"Thousands of Copper Ra'Ak fought throughout Veshtul, killing many as they lashed out or crushing others as they crawled along. Screaming Comesuli ran before them, desperate to escape the deadly creatures. In the distance, a dragon's roar sounded as he fought off one of the monsters. Three other dragons fought beside him; I saw them as they charged their prey - a black dragon, a silver dragon and a gold dragon. Others were fighting Ra'Ak as well; a black gryphon fought alongside a huge snow leopard. Giant birds swept the sky, screaming in anger as Ra'Ak leapt at them, attempting to sink rows of deadly teeth into feathered flesh."

Lissa has been transported 300 years into the future to save the High Demon world and the Saa Thalarr. But what she doesn't understand is that they aren't the only things she is meant to protect. The balance - and survival of all worlds - rests in her hands.

Good but hard to fallow at times.

You need to know your characters. So many names... some old and some new. If you go to Connie Suttle's website she has a character list that explains each one. Also she has several other book series that are connected to this series. I found doing a little research very helpful. With that said I really like this book and the series as a whole. I love the different world's and creatures.

Finally!

I think it's about time Lissa stood up for herself. Should let them know that forgiveness takes time.

great series

This series isn't for someone who has a hard time keeping up. There are so many characters and names to remember who did what and then who was with whom, but you needed it all to make sense. I would have wished only that they would have brought her earth husband Don in at some point, not trying to spoiler. Narration was amazing with all the characters. Wonderful series and I'm sad I have to move on.

the other books were better

i was liking this series, until i got to this one. i need a new series.

Too many characters

There were so many characters that I could not keep track of who was what. The story was good but not as good as the previous books in this series.

My Fav So Far!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!Absolutely!!!!!!!!!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Of course it is Lissa & dragon's twin sons :)
The boys love her & have never hurt her emotionally or physically.

Which scene was your favorite?

When she slapped Kifirin, twice!!!

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

Hell yes!!!!!!!I want them all.

Any additional comments?

I have them all already in kindle but I prefer to listen
to the way they do it in audible.
Hurry up!!!! I can't wait!!!!

Please RE DO Audible program

Whoever decides who the Reader is : Whenever there is a story written and spoken by one gender, but most of the characters are of the other gender - hire two genders: one for each. This reader is not Jim Dale - who else can successfully pull off 59 character voices? Use TWO READERS : one for Male, one for female. it is PAINFUL listening to this series on Audible (and I have it jacked to 135% speed). it's an interesting and fun series -please RE DO the Audible program.

Loved it!

This book was awesome. it was great to see Lisa finally taking charge and being treated right. The humor was wonderful.

Outstanding rebirth for an endless story!

Here we go! I'm experiencing some conflicting emotions over this book, Blood Queen. It is Book 6 in the Blood Destiny series, so I should have been holding on tight to something, anything... but like a fool I went in totally unprepared. I am really sad about what Lissa had missed by jumping 300 hundred years into the future and being forced to stay there. However, the journey while she was there was completely worth the sorrow.

Lissa is a Vampire Queen, which is very rare for her species on earth. Although this is a very rare gift for the vampire community to possess, they had ignored that fact and treated Lissa like a stupid child. Lissa had to endure being confined with a surrogate sire whom babysat her, and she had to ask permission before doing anything. Along with her living conditions, Wlodek, the head of the Vampire Council had married Lissa to Gavin without her consent or even her being present! So in book 5, Blood Royal, when Lissa was just finally getting to the point where she was going to be announced to the vampire council as a Queen, and start being treated with the respect she deserved, she was plucked out of time and whisked away by her true father Griffin!

Lissa had just defeated a great enemy to the vampires, along with his army, and was tired to say the least! Right after that, when everyone is still at the scene standing in shock, her father Griffin comes to her asking for her help. Of course Lissa agreed to go, but without any warning as to what she was helping with, or where or when. She never even had the time to say goodbye to Gavin or anyone else. Once Lissa was in full battle, her future was set in stone and there was no turning back. My heart sank and I cried. I didn't know what was to become of Lissa in this future other world, but it didn't seem like a bright one to me at the time. From here on out in the book, I was taken on a new journey with Lissa, new friends, loves, and final acceptance towards the people in her past. This book was really eye opening with Lissa's struggle for forgiveness, and the inner strength she possessed that allowed her to go on in this new life that was chosen for her. Now the fact that Lissa ended up with multiple mates, and having lots of sex going on had nothing to do with my enjoyment of the book, but it sure did kick it up a notch in the entertainment factor!

Blood Queen did give me the feel that this was the final chapter for Lissa, however there are three more books in the series. I am very anxious to find out what else is in store for me in Lissa's new world.

Narrator Review

Traci Odom continues to remain the voice of Lissa in the Blood Destiny Series. Anyone who has been following my reviews knows I love Traci! She has tremendous vocal talent, with her multiple accents, tones, and most of all her story telling abilities! I rate Traci's narration on this book with 5 Stars. Great job Traci, and I look forward to listening to you again in Blood Rebellion, Book 7!

Very nice

Skilled narration with thoughtful and consistent vocal interpretation of the various characters - I could tell which character was speaking just by listening and the voices didn't annoy or bore me the way some other narrators do. Thoroughly enjoyable.
