Forged Bloodlines #8
Trust Me When the Sun Goes Down
“I couldn’t help but think we were finally over the worst of our troubles. I was such an idiot.”
The bad guy’s dead and gone, Jakob’s given Rob and Anja his blessing and left town, so everything should be smooth sailing, right? Right? Not so fast. Lodinn’s still wreaking havoc with their lives from beyond the grave as the search for Carys pulls Bishop and Jakob into the most unlikely of partnerships.
As Anja settles into her hard won bliss, she finds that things aren’t necessarily happy ever after as Rob’s mounting secrets begin to take their toll. All around her violence against humans is spilling into the city streets, threatening to expose vampires to human eyes and bringing vampire hunter Carter back into the picture. His direct but effective methods lead her to ask – is it wrong to kill a killer? Is there anything she can do to bring the violence to a halt apart from compelling the entire vampire community to her will?
When Bishop discovers Carys’ long lost diary, it holds the key to his past as well as Rob’s future. The burning question remains – is Carys really alive out there somewhere or was it merely a beautiful lie and Lodinn’s final revenge?
And can Anja survive a betrayal so deep it shakes her to the very core?

I skipped one book and head straight to this one and I did it on purpose cause after all the love-hate relationship between Bishop and Anja, well mostly with Bishop, then there is Bishop’s POV, she ends up with Rob? What’s up with that? But it’s not the end yet, so I don’t really know where this story is going. I got nothing against Rob, all the chase between Bishop, Rob and Anja was just too much…
I love a good paranormal romance novel and after reading the first sequel of this series… it has somehow drawn me to follow through despite the fact that I have read a similar plot line which, in my opinion, were definitely way better, and the fact that I really wasn’t sold with the story… with the whole Anja, a music major, became the only smarter political minded vamp and her becoming a stronger(?) vamp she becomes the saviour amongst all vamps(?)… meh… too convenient.... and it does gets real cheesy a lot… But despite all this, it did have a great start and the writing was truly good!
Just a quick recap on this series, this is about a newly turned vamp Anja, who’s sire happens to be an Ellri, meaning the oldest vamp ever and more powerful, making her a direct line and second most powerful. But on the day she was turned, her sire abandoned her leaving it to Bishop, who’s work as somewhat like a vamp police, to help her instead of terminating her… And thus starts their connection and Anja’s new life.
The characters of this series are both a hit and miss with their capriciousness… They annoy the hell out of me!!! Well, somewhere after the sixth sequel, I was losing interest altogether, hence my skipping straight to this book, cause I really just want to know the ending! And I thought this was the end, I was wrong, LOL.
There isn’t any huge action scenes really.. though there is always that air of danger. :D

I have read all the books in this series, each one just getting better and better and this one was as expected, i felt happy, sad and angry all at the same time for Anja, I didnt want to put it down, i had to keep reading it. The story flows from book to book, i love the characters, i can almost imagine what they look like, and would i want to meet one of the male Vampires in a dark alley somewhere, errmmm that would be a yes, Carter, he's a loner he needs to be mothered, looked after, Bishop, feel so sorry for this guy, to carry a deep ache for what he couldnt have, Bob who doesn't appreciate the good life he has right under his nose, Jakob, well, words seemingly fail me at how he thinks things should be, perhaps a taste of his own medicine is needed. This book has kept me enthralled from start to end, leading on towards the next book, i could read these books for as long as Lisa Olsen can write them.
If you havent checked out these books, please please read them, you will not be disappointed, whatever you have read about Vampires upto now, forget it, these Vampires are tall, dark extremely sexy, who wouldnt want to go out for a bite with one of these?
Highly recommend the author, Lisa Olsen, check out this series and her other books. She is fabulous xxx

Trust me is the 8th book in Lisa's Forged Bloodlines series and an awesome addition to an already awesome series. The book kicks off with a toe curler… the book is actually FILLED with toe curlers! I love the way Lisa can take a sex scene and make is sexy but classy at the same time. It’s also filled with suspense, deceit, heartbreak and some major twists and turns. I'm pretty sure that I messaged the author numerous times with...well let’s just say that I was going crazy with the twists. I stayed on the edge of my seat the whole book!! I was either swooning, fanning myself, cursing the characters AND the author, on the verge of a panic attack or saying WTF??? There is so much going on in this book and I'm not going to give you one hint! I will not spoil it for you because this book is full of awesomeness that you need to read for yourself. I will say that the ending will leave you wanting more...but don't all of her books make you feel that way?

Gut wrenchingly fabulous.
Lisa Olsen knows how to wring every emotion out of you. OMG. Highest to lowest. Love to Hate. Sad to funny. Everything is wrenched from you. Could not put it down. Lost sleep reading this book. I wanted to scream at Anja several times. Girl get your head on right. I'm definitely on Team Bishop. Sorry to those on Team Rob. Bishop just makes my toes curl. I'm so enjoying the journey Lisa Olsen is taking me on. If you love a book that is so well written. Has action and adventure. Has playfulness and Romance. Get this Series. From a true Fan... Pam James.

I have loved each and everyone of these books! I can not wait for 9 to come out! Once I started I simply could'nt put them down and now I have to wait to see what happens with Rob and with Carys. And really Hannah and Mason. There's to many to name.and I do hope Carter finds his special someone as well.

The series is great although this book had less action in it. In my opinion it is still a must read for the series because it lets you see into more of the characters heads.
