One night … that’s all it took to change Louise’s life and put her before the executioner …

The next heart-pounding instalment in Mason Sabre's Paranormal and Urban Fantasy, Society Series.

Someone wants Louise’s help, and that someone is willing to do whatever it takes to get it, even if that means murder.

Louise Makepeace, woodland nymph, wakes one morning with a very special gift … so special indeed that if the Human authorities were to find it, they would execute her, no questions asked.

It becomes a battle for Louise—doing what she needs to do to save herself, or, doing what she knows is right and possibly sacrificing herself in the process.

Who will she save?

Sometimes, things happen, and you know, you’ll never be the same again.

My name is Mason Sabre. I have been writing since I was a small child and discovered I could have a million adventures at the stroke of my pencil (I wasn't allowed to use pen back then). I have written more stories than I could even publish, some of them I wouldn't ever put out, but I have had a blast writing them. I love writing, I love reading. I love to have a fictional adventure. When I am not doing that I am with my children or studying. I have a lifelong love of learning too.

I live in the North of England. It's a little chilly here and a little wet, but it is what I call home and where pretty much all of my stories are based.

So so good!!

Mason has done it again!! Wow did I love this story about Louise and her gremlins. He managed to introduce a new character and completely immerse you in her plight.
It was great getting to see some of our beloved main characters from the Society Series as well. This was a really great novella and I just love reading anything that comes from this author's brilliant mind!!

Insane. I drove myself completely insane with this novella. And you know what? I loved every second of it. At the end I shouted (in French): "Oh putain." Which would mean "Fucking Hell" or "Bollocks" or "Oh my god". I can't wait for the next opus. Bravo Mason. Again you did it.

I received Bleed as an ARC from the author. I have loved every book in the Society Series. Mason Sabre is an amazing writer. He builds his plots carefully, keeping the reader in suspense. You fall into his main characters, in this case Louise, a wood nymph who has just has a night she can't remember and awakens with a surprise in her bed. It seems as if her only options are bad ones until she gets our hero Cade involved. I love love love this story. Thank you, Mason, for continuing to bring true magic to your readers.

I absolutely loved Bleed: A Society Novella by Mason Sabre. It was a book I picked up and couldn't put down! I so want a Grimalkin for my own, that is definitely new and inventive. Mason Sabre has the ability to draw you in and feel what the characters are feeling. With its amazing twist and turns you just want more of this series.

Damn, this book was intense for sure. I love all of these little novellas Mason adds to the Society Series. This is a short and sweet review. I was on the edge of my seat during this read. My heart was pumping hard. Great suspense too. I can't wait for the next one. I don't have a favorite Society book, because I just love them all. Definitely a must read!!

The web just gets more intricate with each novella!

Louise was definitely bad ass and I loved the fact that she did what needed to be done no matter the consequences. It was also great to see Cade and Gemma in this one. My heart still breaks for what they went through in the last book, even though I know the story behind it.

Five stars for this one and cant wait for the next

I've loved Mason's books since I read the first book. His story lines are intricate and you never know which way he's taking the character. Bleed is such a great novella bringing in new characters to Mason's series.

"She let her mind close for a moment, sinking to that deep sacred place of hers. The place Marcus wanted her to call ...."

Dark and twisted plans, manipulation, and a struggle with doing whats right. Louise the wood nymph gets entangled in a darstardly plot in a play for power. With so much going on you don't realise time flying by. We meet unusual Grimalkins, who are interesting to learn about and best avoided. And ultimately we learn you can't tackle everything alone, and survive.

!COME MEET LOUISE!
All of Author Mason Sabre's books and novellas have very strong, complex characters and this is no exception.
This author weave a tale so compelling of shifters, nymphs and such that you would swear they must exist.
Louise, a tough take-charge woman, finds herself in a situation that may get her killed. She has always taken care of matters on her own, but this may be even bigger than she can handle. But could she, should she involve anyone else?
Schedule some time, because once you start reading you won't want to stop. Enjoy.

Forgotten Memories? Or is there something sinister at play? Mason Sabre spins another faultless story

BLEED is the latest installment in Mason Sabre's Society Series. Once again he has given his reader a story that will keep them on the edge of their seats from beginning to end.

Louise is a strong independent woman whose life is about to change. She finds herself in circumstances that are beyond her memory and her control. What happened the night before and why can she not remember?

Mason leads his reader through a story that is both gripping and suspenseful. Watch as Louise must make a decision that could have ramifications that will alter Society as it stands. Evil is in the air - but how does one go about defeating the impossible?

Mason, once again, brings his characters to life. He breathes through the words he write, this is fully notable in the tale that he writes here. His descriptions are so vivid, that you feel as though you are a part of his story. Experience his words, don't just read them - you'll be forever grateful.

An absolute MUSTREAD for lovers of fantasy and suspense.

Oh and Mason, I want a Grimalkin!!!

Love Louise!!

OMG!! I love reading fan novellas. I think it's so cool that each story can be read as a stand alone, but if you're a Society devote you will see some favorites!! Louise is a kick a*s woman!! Boy, some crazy stuff is going on...you all NEED to read it! It's FANTASTIC!!

I am never disappointed with any of the stories that this author weaves. They are like stepping into a movie and being a part of the action. Each character developed so that you feel as though you have known them forever. These are characters you want to fight for. I was never a huge paranormal reader until I got my hands on Mason Sabre's words. They are definitely my favorite paranormal reads.
Bleed brings those great characters to life in a world painted so vividly. A story packed with action that will have you white knuckled while you devour every word. If you haven't read anything from this author you need to. Take a taste of The Society Series. Once you have a nibble you will want more.

I received an advanced copy of this book and it was FANTASTIC! I've never been one for paranormal books but Mason Sabre has this way with words that just draws you in and clings to every piece of you, it's impossible not to fall in love with his work. The depth of each character is outstanding, I LOVE Louise! She's a kick ass no nonsense woman that I just could not get enough of. This was action packed and difficult to put down.

A riveting story, that had my eyes flying across the thrilling words and my mind soaking up the shocking dilemma that the main character, Louise, faces. Her determination and gutsy attitude had me cheering her on throughout. Another epic story Mr Sabre

What a cracking new addition to the Society Series.
Each book seems to surpass the last if that's even possible. Bleed had me gripped from the get go. I couldn't stop until i reached the end and im certainly in the market for a Grimalkin or two they are so cool. Masons imagination and writing abilities blow my mind.
This book is defiantly up there with my favorite society books. A must read either as a stand alone or part of the series.

I am loving all these Fan Novella's, Mason fits them into his Society series like they were always meant to be there and not as added extras. This is Louise's story and it is brilliant, it's beautifuly thought out and written that I couldn't put it down, and as an added bonus we got a bit of Gemma and my favourite shifter Cade.
From the first page to the last it keeps you gripped, Oh and i so want a grimalkin cat, they are so cool.
Thank you Mason, keep them coming, absolutley love this series :)

Bleed is a novella about Louise who is a nymph. When I think of nymphs I think of fragile little beings. Well, Louise is one kick ass nymph who I would want in my corner anytime! She has awesome Grimalkins that I wish I could turn my cat into, plus she gets to hang around with Raven! Beyond jealous!!!

Bleed is a fast paced story that will grab you from the start. As always Mason Sabre is able to have complex characters and vivid storylines that make you feel as if you are part of the book. A must read for any fan of the Society Series or any fan of urban fantasy.

This was a fantastic story. It was action packed and full of mystery and suspense. The writing was wonderful and the characters were interesting and everything left me wanting more.
Unfortunately for me this was the first story I've read from this series because it was an ARC and I didn't know the other characters but it wasn't such a big deal because the author introduced them to me well enough in this story. He did such a good job introducing me that I look forward to starting from the beginning to read their stories.
Great job! Anyone wanting to get into a fascinating paranormal series will want to read this one!

Betrayal

How does someone who doesn't do anything wrong end up in the wrong? When someone walks home and doesn't remember what happened the night before? No she hadn't drank a lot maybe 3 beers? Find yourself in a mess of problems? Have to betray an innocent person to get out of this problem?
Mason, you have written so many stories and they just keep on getting better and better. Well done Mason!

This authors characters are so beautifully written they sink their teeth in! And now the pets too! The main character in BLEED is a loyal, strong independent women with very dangerous powers in the not so right circumstances. Another Society Series must read by Sabre!

Grimalkins .. That was a new word for me and when Mr Sabre described exactly what one was.. I pictured it perfectly. I was like, "What the hell!?" And then he wrote what they did.. And I said, "Did that just happened?" And where can I get one? lol Honestly I don't know what to say.. I just find myself wanting more of his writings..it's like each book I read takes me on an adventure that I never want to end.

Once again I find myself sucked into the Society world by Mason's transporting words. He grabs you & drags you along on this wild ride with his characters. You feel for them & can picture the scenes & their reactions. His words are masterfully descriptive being able to pull you in the scene, painting the picture as if you could see it in front of you. I felt my pulse racing at times or the devastation the characters felt when everything seemed to be going wrong, all while rooting for them. I love the strength & fight his characters have even when the odds are stacked against them.

EDGE OF YOUR SEAT!!!

QUOTE,,,, She was like the girl in the horror film who goes outside and the bad guy is hiding with his hatchet, ready to take her head off. And there she stands shouting,"Hello?" like an idiot when she should be back in the house calling the police....
Louise is a nymph to nature and she helps Raven bounce at the bar on busy nights. On her way home she finds one of her grimalkins cats dead. Then she doesn't remember anything after that when she wakes up with a surprise in her bed.

This had me on the edge of my seat. Best short story in The Society Series I think. AWESOME job Mason Sabre. Her boyfriends name leaves me wondering though??????
