GREAT set up, and then...S P L A T !

Okay, so I know there's a certain level of suspension of belief required when enjoying paranormal stories. But even still, this one's an implausible, conventional letdown. The first few parts...The trip to the blood match thing was clever and moody. The 3 vampires' behavior upon first meeting was entertaining. A great set up for a nice twist on the reverse harem paranormal romance. But, then...? Sigh.

Case 1: The lead female is raised to be extremely fearful of vampires. But about two paragraphs after meeting "her guys", she's throwing campy one liners at them. Giggling and playfully rolling her eyes. I don't get why that's a common thing in stories like this. The female character (usually virginal...that's a whole other thing) whiplashes from 0-60 in 5 seconds or less.

Case 2: This story follows the usual "weak girl discovers herself and becomes a strong woman" plotline, but she grows increasingly needy and whiny and indecisive as the story progresses. Every irrational decision she makes makes matters worse. At some point, I start yelling at my kindle fire, thanking sweet baby geezus that she isn't a real person. She makes the silliest, least logical decisions and ignores any warnings thrown at her.

Case 3: The 3 "guys". Their supposedly strong vampire heirs, but they ha e literally no control over anything. They're not strong. It's kind of comical. Every single time they say, " don't worrg, babe, we won't let anything happen to yku", I literally laugh because that's a sure sign that EVERYTHING will go wrong. They're weak, and sappy... Like lapdogs. So if you're looking for powerful, determined heroes, this ain't the story for you.
Case 3: About halfway through, once the above issues have worn me down, I figure I can at least wait for the "big moment"... The sexy times. At least, this has gotta be good. So much build up and skirting around it. It finally arrived close to the end of the story, and.......NOTHING. Author Ginna Moran actually skips RIGHT OVER IT. Wtaf?! Between that and this stretched-thin multibook plot, I think I'm good with skipping her stories altogether.

So. Weak, cheesy vampires - CHECK. Whiny, childish lead female character - CHECK. No sex - CHECK. Cheesy plotlines - CHECK. I say skip it.

For a similar, but far superior story, I recommend Blood Debt by Callie Rose. Instead of wasting sleeping time and my credit on this, I wish I'd just re-read Blood Debt. #AnotherCreditBitesTheDust

I'm hooked on this series

so glad I found this author/series. Story well written for the most part. The only part of the story that wasn't very clear were the intamate moments the main character has with her vampires (don't want to mention any spoilers). Would of given 5 stars if author would have spent a little more effort in a more detail account on those intimate moments; they lack imagination.

Blood Rebel

Blood Rebel picks up where Blood Match left off. Jewel is matched to three different guys for three different reasons. In this book they will get closer but they have others who would drive them apart. And it would destroy all of them if Jewel had to pick just one of them.

I can't wait to see how this series plays out. Looking forward to the next book.

Jewel is a fighter

I am really enjoying this story. Jewel is way to self sacrificing! She loves her family with everything she has even through all their faults. I personally want to kill Ramona for her. I love the guys. They are completely devoted to her and will do anything within their power for her. There is so much happening in this book and the story just keeps getting better. I really feel like Mitchell is up to something and I am not liking him at all. Brayla will turn out to surprise you in a big way . She was unexpected.

I am really enjoying Ellie's narrating. She does and good job and is consistent.

sister rivalry

this book takes sister rivalry to a different level, Jewel is only doing things to protect her families. She is put in a hard place when her sister is bent on getting her away from mates at any cost.
