Bloodline #1

I Will Find You

Rate this book
I’m stalking her for her own good.

She has no idea who she really is. Lied to since she was twelve, she's turning twenty-five in three weeks and if I don't find her before her birthday, she may die.

Or worse – be harvested by men with needs .

Needs that involve her being fooled into thinking she faces a majestic, fairytale fate, when in reality – she’s about to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

She is too beautiful, too spell-binding, too alluring to let her be in peril. I’m falling for her, fast, and that complicates everything .

This isn’t just an assignment anymore.

It’s fate.

Rich, powerful men will go to great lengths to buy whatever they want, and when three rival billionaire dynasties want her – and others like her – for their own sick purposes, it's my job to find her.

Save her.

Help her.

Then move on to find and save the next woman like her, before it's too late.

But there's one she thinks I'm the bad guy.

And she might be right.



I Will Find You is the first book in USA Today bestselling author Meli Raine's new Bloodline romantic suspense series, a woman-in-peril psychological thriller story with an unreliable narrator, double-crosses galore, questionable bodyguards, a very public auction, scheming billionaires, shadow government agencies, a hero with a secret goal, and a heroine who is stronger than she thinks.

Featuring a world of corrupt networks where money talks and the dead tell no lies, the new Bloodline series will keep you in taut suspense on the edge of your seat.

But most of all, every twist and turn leaves you wondering who to trust.

Full I Will Find You ends on a cliffhanger. Hang on for dear life.

I can already tell at 68% of the way through that this is a three-star novel. The writing execution isn’t bad. It’s just that the guy’s point of view is repetitive. We get that she’s in a cult, OK. Can we stop harping on that and actually have some action and forward movement of plot? I don’t know why every guy‘s point of view in most book I read is a complete standstill of plot because of their inner monologue and their twitching cock. I mean, it’s a bit of an exaggeration. Yes, there was some plot movement during his POV, but not a lot, if the guy could stop talking about his peen and how it finally deflated because he’s running and diverting blood to key functioning parts of his body.

I will start with that this book ends with a cliff hanger as it is the first book in Meli Raine's new Bloodline series. This book book grabbed me in the first chapter and it kept me reading, wanting more! Paigelynn is being groomed to be the next "Queen". She must be pure, untouched and not have lustful thoughts. She is guarded always. Is she really going to be Queen or is this a cult? Enter Cam to whom she has an instant electric connection to, however Cam and others are searching for these women to prevent them from be sent into a marriage with a billionaire or the next King. Cam grew up in a cult and saw what it did to his parents and sister. He will do what ever it takes to prevent it from happening to any one else. What Cam didn't expect was to be as attracted to her as he is. Can he rescue her before it happens to her? Will they give into the feeling they feel for each other? I hope you take a chance and read this new fast paced book to find the answers to those and many other questions you will have as you read. I wish to thank Meli Raine for giving me the opportunity to read this in advance of its release. I look forward to the second book in this trilogy and finding out the answers to the questions I have about the fate of Paigelynn and Cam.

Amazing Intrigue and Suspense!!

Heavens. This will keep you on the edge of your seat!

We meet Paigelynn who is living a special life. Her nutrition, her mindset and all aspects of her life are carefully monitored, and controlled. All for the time when she turns twenty-five and is to marry. They will be King and Queen. It is all in the prophecy.

It is all in the cult. Cam is a hacker. He grew up in a cult. Lost his sister because of this cult. Now his goal in life is to save those brainwashed into a cult. A secret organization is working to stop traffickers and those in charge of the Viking Virgins - their name for the women in a cult who have their organs and skin taken at age twenty-five. They found evidence after the fact for the first three. They want to find their next ‘victim’ before she is killed.

By chance Cam runs into PaigeLynn in real life - through their dogs. He knows if his agency finds her, he will never see her again. What to do? A tangled web of what is real, and how to save someone who doesn’t want to be saved.

Fascinating, and completely plausible. Glad to know there will be two more parts to this story - just wow!

***** I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book *****

I Will Find You is the first book in a new trilogy by suspense/thriller writer Meli Raine. This is a serious page-turner, and it does leave off at a cliffhanger. Is the next book ready yet?!?

Paigelynn is an ethereal beauty, in perfect health and has daily rituals to be sure she stays that way. She was left in a cult at the age of 12 by her parents and believes, as she has been taught, that her destiny is to save the world in the next three weeks when she turns 25 years old. She is monitored 24/7 by guards, recordings and more. Anyone who is too attentive to her is likely to "disappear".

Cam Perkins was raised in a cult. He lost immediate family due to a cult. He hacked into the cult to prove it and saw it disbanded, but from inside a prison. Now he works for a government branch trying to save women being auctioned off to the highest bidder coming from a cult.

Will Cam and his team be able to find Paigelynn and others like her in time? What if they are attracted to each other but that is strictly forbidden by her handlers and his agency? Enjoy this fast-paced beginning, to a unique trilogy, that will open your eyes to a world you never thought of.

The thing with Meli Raine suspense novels, is nothing is ever as it seems. So, of course, when we meet Paigelynn, our heroine, she's being groomed as a "pure goddess" who will fulfill a prophecy to save the world (from what, we don't know). She meets our Hero, Cam, in a dog obedience class. He's working for TINSA, aka "There Is No So Agency", on a secret project looking for the Viking Virgins, young, blond women who are being groomed to be auctioned off for nefarious reasons. She's with her "husband", but Cam has his suspicions that Rudy isn't who he appear to be. From this we can tell Cam must have field training in addition to being a computer programming whiz. His actions toward the end also lead us to this conclusion, but all of a sudden, what we thought we knew, might not be what we thought at all, in true Meli Raine fashion! This story ends on a juicy cliffhanger!

WTH!? Meli Raine has done it again! This new series is filled with twists and turns that make your head spin.

The set up is cringe-worthy. The people this team is after are diabolical and demented. The people they are trying to save don't even realize they are in danger.

Cam is a mystery all his own because he has secrets that even his team does not know. He has a mission within a mission and Paiglyn is at the center of it all. She thinks her world is perfect until she meets Cam. These two are so connected instantly that Paigelyn begins to question her fortitude and beliefs. Cam will question his mission and his sanity.

I can't say much without spoilers galore. So, I will say that this one is a true mind bender and the cliff hanger will have you holding on by your fingernails!

Offensively CRUDE throughout. Shame on you, Meli Raine!

Offensively CRUDE throughout. I've read every one of Meli Raine's series (Breaking Away; Coming Home; Harmless; Shameless; False and Stateless) and have always been most impressed with her as an author and eager to buy the next in series. Not anymore!
This start to the Bloodline series has totally changed my view of her. WHY such crude language and with preoccupation with genitalia and sexual urges? Has Meli Raine decided now to write only with the sex-obsessed in mind? Shame on you, Meli Raine! I will never buy any of your books again and will get rid of those I already own.

Aaaaaaaaaah! What the [expletive of your choice] was that? Where this book ends, was almost the reason my reader learned how to fly. I had been pulled so deeply into the story, I was in no way prepared for that sudden and abrupt stop. Especially with so many questions dancing on the tip of my tongue. I have no idea what’s really going on in either Paigelynn or Cam’s worlds, but I’m absolutely rabid to find out. The author has now guaranteed that I’ll be one of the first in line to get my hands on the next book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.

How fabulous it is to be back in the romantic suspense world of Meli Raine. This is the first in a new series and although I knew it would finish on a cliff hanger as all of the books in Ms. Raine's series do, this was a twist that I never saw coming. It had that wow! did that really happen? feel to it.
The book itself is written, as always, to captivate and enthrall you and this does this and more. From the first chapter, you just want to know what happens to Paigelynn and Cam. You will be intrigued and desperate for more.
Love it!

I Will Wait

Oh. My. Goodness! Paigelyn is living her life in the service of mankind—but is she really? Is she the fulfillment of a prophesy, or an unwitting victim? Is Cam a good guy? Or is he a master manipulator? So many questions!!! But I will wait for the second book and hope that the answers will come.

I Will Find You, Bloodline Book 1 written by Meli Raine. Well it’s crazy to be back in the amazing mind of Meli Raine again. I’m still wrapping my mind around this book. I’ll be back to talk you about it shortly. Okay, so this book has been craftily woven into such a complicated premise that it’s hard to tell what’s up or what’s down. Leave it to Meli Raine, aka Julia Kent, to create such a multifaceted masterpiece. Just a hint…it’s one hell of a cliffhanger! Where is book 2?!?!

OMG, didn't see that coming

I was a little confused at first. But as I've read all of Meli Raine's books, I knew it would explode. And boy did it. Book 2 can't come soon enough. High paced action. A definite cliffhanger that has me wondering what????

What was that!!

I was expecting a twist, but that was far from what I thought would happen! I knew there was going to be a cliff hanger and I thought I was prepared! I was so wrong!! Can not wait to see what happens to Cam and Paigelyn next!!

Arrgh....cliff hanger ....but....a really good read. As with all Meli Raine books it was not a peaceful relaxing read. It makes you think and if you're anything like me your thoughts will be all over the place. However - still a good read!

Unlike previous books by this author, I had trouble getting into the story of this one. It felt too far-fetched, too much of everything and this time around I also couldn't warm up to the narration style. Maybe I was in the wrong mood or this one hits differently, I don't know.

Unusual story

A story about a cult, but an unusual one. I liked the way that the characters were crafted and I found them strange, and yet believable. I liked the twists which kept me guessing.

This series has an interesting concept behind it and I'm curious to see where it goes in books 2 and 3. Not sure if there is a twist at the end of this book or if but I look forward to finding out.

I really don't like books like these that make you buy the next book to find out what happens. It was an interesting plot but not especially well written.

Wow....grabbed me right away. Is it a cult? Is she really so sort of royalty? And what is this electricity between her and Cam?

I could not put this down and now I can't wait for the next one. Buckle up for a wild ride

It is absolutely wonderful to be back in the Meli Raine world. Her romantic suspense always draws me in completely and this new series is no different. I wasn't sure what I was getting into at the start. It felt like a Stepford Wives situation and it may not be all that far from the truth in this instance. But as always with Meli Raine, you must wait for the other shoe to drop and then wait again for the laces to come off that shoe because this is what she does best. Paigelynn has been groomed (and lied to) for nearly her entire life. You think she is just naïve but perhaps she is way more than she lets on. Cam is a total conundrum and that freaking ending (yes it IS a cliffhanger) leaves you asking way more questions than getting answers and I am absolutely here for the journey. Who is who? Who is hiding what? Who is the brains? Who is the liar? Stay tuned!

Ooooooooh, I love Meli’s writing, but I’ve been sitting on this series because I love to binge them. I’m just hoping that book three will release before I finish book two!

In true Meli fashion, book one sets the scene. We get to know the ins and outs of the cvlt that the story centres around and the main characters.

She drops the breadcrumbs to what you think is the way the story will go and then, nope, she heads in a completely different direction.

I don’t want to ruin this one as I believe it’s best to go into Meli’s books blind. I have the most fun just seeing where the story will go.

Although they are romantic suspense, these are not high-heat books. But they are so plotty and character-driven, and I love them.

I crashed straight into book two as you know Meli loves to leave you on a cliffy, so be prepared for an unexpected ending to this book.

If you love

✨Twisted plots
✨Head trips
✨Secret organisations
✨Law enforcement
✨Secrets and lies

Then pick up this series.

Just the idea of being groomed from the start to be the next Queen is scary in itself, but this series starts off with lots of drama that just continues in intensity.

Cam is the only one who can save her. He lost his family to a cult, & he knows what to do to help her, but can he save her in time?

This was a fast paced book, it’s a wild ride, but since Meli Raine wrote it, you know you’ll find lots of suspense with trying to find the real facts. It’s a page turner until the cliffhanger at the end...

& now, I wait.

I received this free ARC, and this is my honest review.

I've missed words by this talented author. I'm so excited to be reading more, and this was a fantastic way to kick off a series.
I was captivated from cover to cover.
And just when you think you have things figured out like always the author completely flips things on it's head.
Honestly I don't know what to think and I love that fact.
It is also the reason why I'm purposely keeping my review vague. Trust me, by the final page you'll be feeling the exact same way.
Cannot wait to get my hands on the next book.
