Blood #4

Blood Reign

Rate this book
Julia's sworn enemies are safely sequestered in a prison of the fey and her forever mate has been chosen. Not by blood, but by a circumstance shaped from coincidence. However, it's not enough to save Julia and the others their fate by the hand of the Alaska den. Whose reacquisition has come alarmingly full-circle to capture them.

Tharell of the fey aligns with the Singers, Were and remaining vampire to take back the one true Queen. Only Julia can stop the interspecies wars and establish a truce of genetics that would free all the groups from extinction and conflict.

Can they rescue Julia and her allies before it's too late? Will the Red Were's lineage prove to be the catalyst of victory against a corrupt pack that's grown too debauched by greed and power to be overcome?

Good versus evil, peace versus war, face it, the supernatural world can be a deadly place to live. Once again, Tamara Rose Blodgett drops kicks us into the middle of the tension and danger of Julia’s world. Every were, vamp and fae want a piece of her, or more specifically her blood because Julia is the Rare One with very special and powerful blood flowing through her veins. When danger slithers closer as a pack of weres decide they want to be the world’s top dogs and Julia and her band of singers and weres are taken captive, survival will come at a cost as they attempt to outwit, outlast and outfight the Red Pack. Is their alliance firm with other packs or will battle between factions carve out new divisions? Will new players join the fray? With time for reflection, lives are re-played, memories re-visited until the battle cry is raised. Will it be a blood bath on a supernatural battlefield of death? Who will remain standing? Will Julia become a breeding ground for the supernaturals? Will she have a choice?

Every author has their signature style that defines their talents. For Tamara Rose Blodgett, it is making the impossible probable and believable as she load both barrels and scores a direct hit with another of her tales! Her characters come alive through her words and her attitude, which is probably where the fabulous banter stems from.

A step into Ms. Blodgett’s world is a leap into reading bliss, juts be prepared to hang on tight, because this author can write a cliff hanger you'll never see coming
!
If you haven’t tried a taste of Tamara Rose Blodgett’s unique style, the Blood series is a great way to appreciate her creative genius!

An even darker, bloodier tale that its predecessors, book four in Blodgett’s Blood Series, Blood Reign, packs a powerful punch as it unfolds. Captive in the clutches of the Reds, a controlling Were group set on world dominance, The Rare One, Julia, and her band of friends, both Singers and Weres alike, must outthink and overcome their captors in a game of cat and mouse as the Reds’ plans of genocide begin to take hold.

As the story jumps back and forth between the characters simultaneous adventures, readers become enamored with the story. Blodgett is a master at setting up mini cliffhangers within her writing, and these are perfectly executed as she jumps from character to character as they unwittingly make their way towards one another, all leading up to the final battle that will have heads rolling (literally) with the final climax.

Expertly crafter, Blodgett has created intense, well-rounded characters, including those we hate. From their sarcasm, humor, anger, and fear, the emotions of these characters are palpable; spanning from Julia’s good-heartedness to the evil Tony’s misogynistic ways, Blodgett leaves readers feeling like the character could indeed step right off the page, which is both thrilling and terrifying at the same time. Reader beware, Tony is indeed an awful, awful character, and you will hate him to his core… but he will finally get his comeuppance—and it is indeed satisfying.

In the third installment of the blood series, Blodgett wowed me with her inclusion of the Fey. Not to be outdone, she does it again in Blood Reign, this time including new revelations and a mythical group that I didn’t think would make it into her books at all! At this point, Blodgett has brought together almost all the popular mythical beings out there, and I love how she seamlessly weaves them into her tale, aiding and abetting the characters as the series unfolds. I can’t wait to see what happens next in the series, and if you haven’t started it yet, I highly suggest you pick up book one, because this series is to die for.

Liking this series less and less as it continues...I may pick up book 5, because I am far enough into the story I want to find out how it is resolved. I am really tired of the graphic violence, really tired of Tony (there is a lot of Tony in this book). My favorite characters are Slash and Adi, and they are hardly in this book at all. I am not that impressed with Jason and don't feel a connection with him and Julia I guess. It seems like things went downhill for me at the point where Julia rediscovered Jason and they re-committed to each other. I was disappointed because I liked both Scott and William a lot, and they are both out of the picture. I am wondering what the point is when I get this far in a series and am left only with the characters I dislike.

As a loyal follower of the Blood Series by Tamara Rose Blodgett from the very first book, I was very excited to read Blood Reign and find out just what was going to happen to Julia next.....

I pre-ordered my copy, and even waited up until it began to download onto my Kindle so I could jump right in and after reading the first few pages I was glad that it had been worth the wait! The time scale between the last book in the series and Blood Reign was quite a while but when you take into account how many different series that Tamara Rose Blodgtt is writing under her own name and that of her pseudo-name Marata Eros all at the same time, it is a wonder she has a life at all! You could also wonder if the quality would be affected but as usual Tamara did NOT disappoint and her words were ingenious in themselves, as they so easily danced across the page creating a siren's song that has you trapped in an astonishing fantasy land from the very first page, and that song keeps you enraptured far longer than you intend to read in one sitting. As many of this site's fans will know if I enjoy a book I will just read until I finish it, it becomes my obsession and Blood Reign (Blood Series #4) became an obsession like no other so far!

Julia has been constantly a blinding light of goodness throughout the novels so far and a tower of strength, but in Blood Reigns she learns some very harsh lessons and yes, people we all love and care about are going to suffer because of it. Nothing is ever going to be the same, rivers of Blood will fill each page as situations you never thought possible will occur and you WILL need a box of tissues handy because by the end you will have cried several times! Enough Spoilers as such, because this novel is just far too good to tell all in a review - You simply just HAVE TO read it to appreciate it in it's full glory.

Decisions that are made, lines that are crossed and sides that are chosen, in some respects, especially one - is VERY surprising and the facts surrounding the Singers, The Sithe, The Reds and The Vampires no longer have the issues to fight amoung themselves for The Rare One.....Something Much darker, older and sinister is coming for them all and Julia is still the prise... Can they put their differences aside and work together? Or will their old rivalries cause them all to fall including the Rare One...

I received this ARC copy of Blood Reign from the author Tamara Rose Blodgett in exchange for an honest review.

We're talking Werewolves, Vampires, Faeries and Singers here. What more could you possibly crave in a dark paranormal fantasy novel?! Oh yeh, how about Angels and Demons?! We're talking a pizza with the lot! TRB has out done herself in her trademark ingenious complexity here folks!

Julia, Queen of the Blood Singers, is sort by all of the above mentioned races as a breeding mare, to further and strengthen each of their particular races. She and her merry band of friends (mainly werewolves) are forcefully taken by a rogue pack of rare Red werewolves for their own greedy and selfish machinations. Can they escape their new captors who will stop at nothing to get her to bend to their will?
Blood Reign finds Julia having to put trust in the untrustworthy and finding help and betrayal where she least expects it.

Seriously, my above blurb just doesn't do this amazing fourth installment any justice. There is so much to tell but I'd end up writing a twenty page essay!
Blood Reign is action packed with Tamara's kick-butt, blood bath fight scenes,as well as her totally dark and twisted characters and an amazingly detailed storyline that will blow your mind. The twists and plots in the story are ever changing and evolving along with the characters. You think you know them and then you blink and they've done a complete turn around!

I particularly loved 2 things; the demise of a much hated evil character who shall remain nameless. (But let's just say, he totally got what he deserved!) And the growing romances between several of the Weres! Exciting times ahead! Oh and the other thing, Ms. Blodgett has thoughtfully included a glossary to help us keep track of who is who! Bonus!

If you are looking for a paranormal series that's a little different, look no further, because the Singers series is totally unique and completely kick-@$$!

Have you read the Blood series by Tamara yet? Why not? Do you not like action, romance, sarcasm and blood? Because that's Blood Reign is in a nutshell.

This is a complicated series, and by complicated I mean there are about fifty things happening at once. What I love about this is that it's fast paced. There is no down time. One thing happens, and then another. And it's boom-boom-boom. Tamara's writing only gets better with every book that she puts out.

I love Jules. I love Cyn, and I hate to say it but I love to hate the baddies in this book. At first glance characters like Jacquelin and Tony seem to be two dimensional, but then Tamara starts stripping away their meat and with each layer gone with find five more in it's place. The growth of these characters is nothing to sneeze at. It's easy to write good characters, it's hard to make them better, over and over again. And Tamara does that. With each Blood book she has put out I think, this is the best one. And there is no doubt that this right now, in this moment is my favorite TRB book.

What started out seemingly a simple story of a girl and vampire and some werewolves has evolved into this huge opus of supernatural everything. And. It. Is. Awesome.

Thank you so much Tamara for letting me get an early glance at this work. I truly appreciate it.

*A complimentary ecopy of this book was given to me by the author in exchange for my honest review.

"I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion." ~Alexander the Great

I remember reading that quote back in high school and while I was reading this book, it popped into my head. Fitting, I would say.
Jules has just about come into her own, not quite there but close. Her group is out for war. A werewolf is loose killing Singers & Julia is bound to stop him before he kills anymore. It all comes to a bloody head and one HUGE cliffhanger. I was speechless, shocked, & in dire need of the next book. It was soooo good!! If you haven't figured out by now, Tamara is the cliffhanger Queen. It's crazy how I'm left with wanting to know more. How is this going to end? Will it end? It's nerve-wrecking!! I LOVE IT!!

A queen to unite all with her blood 5 RED STARS

She will be bound by fang, claw and blood, the kiss of the moon on high against where she lays to sleep. The queen shall bear the mark of the peacekeeping Singer....Your blood calls to us. It sings to us. We follow it like a melody on the wind. All roads lead to the Blood Singer. This girl. The Blood Singer from the Book of Blood. The Rare One. In the absence of hope, darkness bloomed like a black orchid.

Since this is the first time I have read this series, I am reviewing it as a whole (books 1-8), rather than each book. WOW! What a truly FANTASTIC series!!! This series is my soap opera, in all the best, juciest ways! So addicted! Need to know what’s happening and NOW! :) I was thoroughly addicted, caught in its grip, unable to put it down! I love, Love, LOVE how Tamara Rose Blodgett weaves such an intricate story complete with love, heartbreak, heartache, passion, friendship, enemies, lovers, allies and oh so much more all while seamlessly integrating so many characters to love & hate (sometimes both!) who belong to any one (or more!) of numerous species but done in a way to keep the reader engaged and following along, incorporating them without even realizing just how many people you now know & follow! It’s in depth in all the right places & ways and has such deep, dark passionate tones, as well as the lighter, happier sides too, that are all brought together so perfectly to make one helluva unique and creative series! I am blown away by the multitude of species and their abilities both as a whole, as well as what each individual is capable of! Each and every aspect & piece of the story brings layer upon layer of enrichment from complex characters, scenery, flow of the storytelling to the compelling storylines! Love the vernacular, quips, quotes & wording that fits for each character and/or species, meaning that the teens or "young'ins" speak & act as they should, while the "old" ones speak as they should, which adds an even deeper layer of "realism" to the story & characters. It was so hard to figure out the "good guys" from the "bad guys", (which is a great thing!) but what chafed me the most is falling for one that I was so sure was worthy of my adoration, then finding out he is total scum!! LOL But that is why I love, Love, LOVE Tamara's books! Her ability to write & create such deeply enriched books that capture my attention, drawing me in so deep that it feels like I am living the story, being surprised by every twist & turn that I never saw coming, really meeting & becoming friends (or enemies) with the multifaceted characters, becoming said characters, seeing every single bit of it in my mind’s eye, time after time, book after book, series after series, no matter the genre, is proof of just how phenomenally talented and exceptionally gifted Tamara Rose Blodgett truly is and why she is one of my absolutely favorite authors to read & binge read!!

Blood Reign (The Blood Series Book 4)

Blood Reign (The Blood Series Book 4) ~~ This one felt like the emotional turning point of the whole series. Julia’s done playing nice. She’s learning the cost of these supernatural wars, and the toll shows. Scott becomes even more of a force — protective, frustrating, intense — everything you expect from a dominant paranormal lead.

The battles in this book have weight. More bloodshed, more loss, more decisions Julia never wanted to make. You can feel the world expanding even more, and honestly it becomes a little overwhelming in the best “I’m addicted to this chaos” way. This book really pushes Julia to choose who she stands with — and who she stands against — and it shifts the entire story forward.

I would definitely recommend this book and series and can’t wait to start on the next book. If you want to know what happens next, you’ll just have to read this series yourself — you won’t regret it.

Loved

ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with the Reign of the Blood Singers series! The twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat, and the deaths?! Mind blown! I loved how every character's fate was unpredictable, keeping me guessing until the very end. The world-building, characters, and romance were all expertly woven together to create an unforgettable story. If you're looking for a series that will keep you up all night, this is it! Can't wait to recommend it to fellow book lovers

Great supernatural series

I read all seven books back to back - now I wish I didn't have to wait until next year to see how it all ends. They're are so many different things going on. It'll be hard to remember it all!

If you like werewolves, vampires, angel-enhanced humans with powers, demonic, angelics, and fae, this series is for you.

It's captivatingly suspenseful, spontaneous, yet sinful and exciting rolled into one - Nook Books and More Blog

There are more characters added to this book as well. It gives it yet again a more darker spin in which I really enjoy. You can expect the unexpected as you travel through the different sides and turmoil that Ms. Blodgett has woven. Oh what a tangle web we weave!

The story has several POV as per the other books giving you a clear picture of much detail as each scene plays out. The reader is able to stay focused with this because the adventure is so wrapped up in this book that you can't put it down. It's as though I can picture it all. I freaking love it as the good clashes against evil, and they collide! Who will survive? You'll have to read it to see.

The flow is very easy to follow and impeccably written. I'd definitely read anything Ms Blodgett writes. Way to go on another outstanding read. I can't wait to do dig into another.

Well Wow. What can I say!

This is almost better than the other books. Now we have demons in the book, and Jacqueline has turned full face. Also, Jacqueline is pregnant. At the beginning Julia had to escape from the reds. Then we find out the devastation that happened to her home. Tharell has become deceitful. Is Domi dead? Where is Scott? This will leave you in suspense. Is Jules going to make it? We have lost so many in this book. A great read especially if you have read the ones before this one. I love the way she puts the characters together. Slash and Adi make a perfect couple. Jason is more normal, finally. I do wonder if the cop and Cyn will get together. It will be interesting to find out what is going to happen next.

Just when I think, I've got it figured out, all hell (literally) breaks loose! Tamara Rose Blodgett has a way of keeping this reader on her toes. I was feeling pretty good about the direction the story was going, and it veered off into another direction completely. However, I there are some unresolved issues that need to be addressed if all of the species are to survive. I'm quite pleased that she didn't make it all that simple. I love the underlying pairings and can't wait to see what happens next. Looking forward to reading the next one today!

Better than the last one and because Julia is still indecisive, I'm still holding out hope for Scott. Except for a few parts, Scott was mostly absent; appearing and then disappearing almost randomly.
Jacqueline apparently has a change of heart and though she's mated to Tony, she's pregnant with Domi's baby? ...Ok.
I want some resolution already!!

Just when I think things can't get more complicated, they do!! The supernatural world is not so secret to Julia anymore. With new allies and new enemies arriving at every turn, it's hard to know who to trust. I'm still loving this series and can't wait for the next book to be released on April 3rd!!!

OMG. What an unbelievable book this was. I am now on book 9 and it is just as good as the rest. Young Love. Death. The Rare One. Were. Vampires. The Feral. Blood Singers. Lots of humour amongst the blood and gore. And hot hot s----y stuff. Where on earth does this author get her imagination? Brilliant series.
