The Blood Dagger #1-3
The Blood Dagger Trilogy Boxset: The Complete Series:
This digital boxset includes all three books in The Blood Dagger series and contains over 1,400 pages of magic, heroism, and strong protagonists-perfect for fans of Mortal Instruments and the CW's Supernatural.
THE OUTCASTS (Volume 1)
Mystical relics.
Powerful vampires.
Strange allies.
It's hell being a teenager, especially if you're being hunted by vampires.
Larna Collins has never understood why her dad skipped out on her and her mother when she was twelve years old. Until then, he was a devoted and loving father. But six years later, during a renovation of her childhood home, she unearths her father's journal from under a floorboard. According to his final entry before he left, he had recently visited a small parish in England. The entries drew her to this quaint village, which Larna discovers isn't as charming as its blood-craving inhabitants want her to believe, and she learns that she isn't the only one trying to track her father down.
Could this explain her father's disappearance? Or was placing her in the center of danger her dad's master plan all along?
THE WATCHERS (Volume 2)
An upstart slayer.
A clan of vampires.
A world of trouble.
Eighteen-year-old Corinth Taylor didn't sign up to become a Watcher—an elite warrior destined to restore balance to the human race—he was chosen. Corinth can barely control his own hormones . . . much less the deadly blade. And to make matters worse, his best friend, Larna, just so happens to be the very thing he's supposed to eliminate.
But when vampires and slayer find a common enemy, Corinth knows it's his innate calling to hunt evil down. And evil has a name: Gabriel Stanton. The enigmatic vampire who escaped their capture, has plans for Corinth, Larna, and Alastair . . . and it's a threat they'll never see coming.
When the line between good and evil gets crossed, devastating consequences start to happen. As Watcher and vampire worlds collide, Corinth must decide where to place his trust: with his old allies or his killer instincts.
An upstart slayer. A clan of vampires. What could go wrong?
It's only the end of the world.
**TREE OF SOULS (Volume 3)
The first vampire.
The last Nephilim.
The end of a saga.**
Ever since his meeting with a group of all-powerful angels calling themselves the Grigori went awry, things aren't looking up for Corinth Taylor or for his best friend, Larna Collins. After Corinth was almost stabbed to death, Alastair Iszler, Corinth's brother-in-arms, heroically stepped in to save Corinth's life.
Larna, still reeling after losing the love of her life, has only one mission in mind: kill the vampire who tortured Corinth. Sarah. But things aren't so cut and dry anymore when friends turn into enemies and enemies turn into friends. Trusting Gabriel Stanton, the leader of one of the most powerful vampire clans in the world, might just be enough to cause his downfall by her hands. Especially since she has the worst kind of history with him—the killing-your-father kind.
Will Corinth make it through his transition to become a vampire? Will the Grigori's plan at world domination come into fruition? Can they pull together in time to stop the threat?
Find out in the last and most action-packed novel in The Blood Dagger series. It will not disappoint. A must-read from start to finish.
Sink your teeth into a fun, fierce vampire series today.

The blood dagger trilogy
The main character, Larna, goes through so much bullying and family drama with aplomb and humour. Larna comes through the supernatural and violence with her inner light intact.

I feel like I’ve just come up for air.
Thank you Misty Hayes for a most delightful week! I’ve been immersed in the worlds of the Blood Dagger trilogy and the Ascended Guardian series. It happened that I began the series backwards starting with the Ascended Guardians, and then, totally enamored with your writing, found the Blood Dagger trilogy. I have laughed, cried pools of tears, and kept turning the pages. Eating, sleeping, and my job were distractions from my mission to find out what happens next. Normally, I avoid angel stories because usually the angels are dicks. These angels were captivating and made me a little more favorably disposed towards Angels in novels. Thank you for an engrossing, absorbing week of deep diving into a book series. I look forward to your next book with excitement and pleasure.

How to rate a trilogy boxed as one book.
To be honest as t,when I started the first bòk I was thinking, "What did I grab?" for the first few chapters. It wasn't until the trip ro England that I started getting hooked.
Real I stick at many times, I would recommend this book to others.
The Epilogue made me hope for #4!

Ugh. Sophomoric and boring. I read for a while and a while more and found it was only full of tropes strung together.

Easy Vampire read. Entertaining.

Fast paced and so much action you wonder about the stamina of the characters. If you like vampires that are different then go for it.
These books are a rollercoaster of emotions for the reader as the characters go through many changes along the way.
You fall in love with some characters and dislike others and sometimes you are not sure about the good guys.
Forget sparkly vampires or those who can't walk in daylight and shrink at the smell of garlic. These are nothing like the vampires you have read about or seen in films. The drink blood of other vampires for the restorative powers and they end up looking younger and fitter as well.
A really good read that held my attention. This may be YA but at 68years young I loved them.
