Before Midnight / One Bite / Golden Stair
Three bewitching paranormal romances to make you blush, make you laugh, and maybe make you cry (in a good way). Watch a werewolf, a vampire, and a demon meet their true mates, women who will lead them to a fantastic destiny they could never have imagined. Each enchanting story comes complete with beguiling magic, wicked curses, and a happily ever after that will leave you satisfied, yet wanting more…
The Blood Prince series is a paranormal romance adventure about true love, the power of hope, and the gratification that comes when you have the courage to go after your dreams…
BEFORE MIDNIGHT (Book 1)
Loupe is a prisoner in her own home and her own body. When a cursed werewolf prince offers her a chance at a new life and a new love, Loupe must make a choice. If she’s is going to get the kiss she wants, she must face the darkness inside her long enough to give the prince the bite he needs. This book is full of courage and hope, evil and revenge, and just enough quirky humor to get you through.
ONE BITE (Book 2)
Irina is a rebel determined to see her kingdom—and her life—free from tyrannical forces. And that includes the monarchy. When a handsome and cunning member of the monarchy offers her a deal, Irina inadvertently foils the one person she’s been fighting her whole life…and her stepmother had never been angrier. This story is full of suspense, sorcery, seduction, and sarcasm. Good for a thrill and a laugh.
GOLDEN STAIR (Book 3)
Ivy has never been outside her tower. When a demon prince falls almost literally into her lap, suddenly the world opens up. Now Ivy has a choice to make. Obey her mother and remain a prisoner in her lonely tower—or risk everything on the arm of a man she was raised to fear? This tale is brimming with excitement, romance, and mischief, a wild ride that will leave you breathless.

About the author
Jennifer Blackstream
56 books513 followersJennifer Blackstream is a USA Today bestselling author of urban fantasy and paranormal romance. She is amazed and grateful to have made a writing career out of a Master’s degree in Psychology, hours of couch-detecting watching Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, and endless research into mythology and fairy tales. She firmly believes that whether it’s a village witch deciding she wants to be a private investigator, or a single mother having a go at being a full time writer, it’s never too late for a new adventure.
A fervent devotee of cooperative board games, Jennifer sets aside at least two nights a week for team-based adventures such as Mice & Mystics, Sentinels of the Multiverse, or Harry Potter: Battle at Hogwarts. She uses games with dice-based mechanics to lure in her ridiculously lucky-rolling son and daughter in the hope that they too will develop a passion for cooperative escapism.

The Blood Prince Series, Book 2-3: Before Midnight, One Bite, and Golden Stair
Fairy tales meet paranormal. Book 1: Before Midnight (Cinderella) - the love story of Loupe and Etienne (werewolf). Book 2: One Bite (Snow White) - the love story of Irina and Kirill (vampire). Book 3: Golden Stair (Rapunzel) - the love story of Ivy and Adonis. Great stories.

I got this bundle, but posted an individual review for each book. I fully enjoyed these three books, they were well worth the time I spent reading them. I am looking forward to the next two in the series. Don't think the Blood Princes are the heroes - the real heroes are the female characters, different for each book, but each having a very strong influence on the outcome of the books. The series is orchestrated by Eurydice, a hamadryad living in the World Tree. For an ancient prophecy to come true, the five Princes must settle their domains' discord and solve their personal problems. The female characters are key to that. Fortunately, Eurydice has some fey allies to help her bring the females (versions of Cinderella, Snow White, and Rapunzel - but NOT your Disney versions) and the hostile, angry, selfish Princes (a vampire, a werewolf, and an incubus - not your typical Prince Charming) together without the Princes killing each other. Coming in the next two books, an Angel and a God. There is fast action, high adventure, relationship anxiety, courtship, romance and finally a sexual climax in each book. The endings are happy (for the lead characters, not so much for their opponents or enemies) and very satisfactory (though sometimes surprising).

I bought this bundle on sale for 99 cents and it was more than worth it. I didn't know anything about the author or the series prior to reading so I was surprised that all of the stories are fairy tale retellings which I typically avoid. These books were very enjoyable though due to the author's creativity and ability to mix known fairy tales with paranormal characters in a unique and imaginitive way. These books are not deep but if you want a quick, fun read I would recommend.

Good paranormal romance set
This is a good paranormal romance set, with creative updates on the Cinderella, Snow White, and Rapunzel fairy tales. They were all entertaining, but the stories are a bit darker than most romances. I liked Cinderella story (Before Midnight) and the Rapunzel story (Golden Stair) better than the Snow White story (One Bite) -- because the vampire Kirill was just too cold and calculating for my taste. All three stories were creative and entertaining, though, so I will read the last two books in the series.

Exciting and addicting!
I got the first one and fell in love and i had to get this box set of 3. The second and third books are just as enticing as the first one and i can't wait until i can get the 4th! This series is an amazing twist on the fairy tales i grew up with and loved dearly. First Cinderella, then Snow White, and finally Rapunzel. I cannot wait until I get the chance to read about the Angel and Ariel *cough* I mean the Mermaid!! :)

Wow...
This was 3 books in one and I loved each one. They were a take on fairytales of old. First one was like Cinderella with wolf Prince...the 2nd was a take on Sleeping Beauty and a Vampire Prince...the last one was Rapunzel and a Demon incubus Prince. Very interesting storyline with great characters.

Pricey good.
The story of the Prince's meeting and finding their different mates, is spell binding. I really liked the fairytales being remade. I am definitely getting the rest of this series... Pam James.

Fun new approach to a mix of fairy tales and myths
The author has a talent for retelling famous fairy tales with an adult twist. She sets a fast pace, there is a touch of humor and sweet romance.

The Blood Prince Series is a wonderful twist on traditional fairy tales. I couldn't put them down, and as soon as I finished one it was on to the next.

Wonderful Paranormal Fairy Tales
What an amazing series. This is my third time reading through and I have the audio books along with reading and it is amazing. The characters are great and the mix of fairytales with paranormal creatures just blows the mind.
