5 stars for - Blood Type - the first book in a new paranormal romance series by K.A. Linde. I was blown away by how utterly unique and exciting Linde's spin on the vampire world was. I do want to give those who need it forewarning though, that with this only being the first of three planned books it ends in a cliffhanger of epic proportions.
Reyna Carpenter was the youngest in her happy family of five but after her parents died she always felt like a burden to her older brothers. Reyna decides to take matters into her own hands and help out the only way she knows how and applies for a job as a blood escort since she can't qualify for any other work. Reyna's only thoughts were that the money she will make for the temporary position will help her and her brothers afford their very meager apartment and minimal food with little if any being leftover. What she never in a million years would expect is an exclusive offer to be placed permanently in a new program with an executive at Visage that comes with so many bells and whistles and a steep pay increase but the only drawback is she can't go back home to tell her brothers and she must decide in the next handful of minutes or the offer expires.
Beckham Anderson is one of the senior officials within Visage - a corporation run by vampires. Visage technically is the company that runs the world and Beckham sits on the executive level of that company. Beckham is a man with many layers who we know very little about, he is cold and calculating for so much of the book you have no idea how you feel about him. Then seemingly out of no where with about thirty percent or so of the book left it was game over and I firmly found myself on #TeamBecks!
Do yourself a favor an READ. THIS. BOOK! So much mystery, danger and Linde's signature angsty romance are all mixed together to take you on one heck of a journey like never before. I promise you that you've never read a vampire romance like this before and it will leave you breathless and on the edge of your seat until the very last page!

A startling new vision of paranormal romance: When a human ventures into the world of vampires—a decadent milieu of blood-bonds and betrayal—she discovers that not all is what it seems.

For Reyna Carpenter, giving up her body isn’t a choice. It’s survival.

In a civilization laid waste by poverty and desperation, Reyna accepts a high-paying position with the wealthy and hungry vampire elite. Her new job is as the live-in blood escort for the intimidating, demanding, and devilishly handsome Beckham Anderson. He’s everything she expected from a vampire, except for one thing—he won’t feed off her.

Reyna soon discovers that behind Beckham’s brooding, wicked façade lies a unique and complex man. And that, in a dark and divided world, she is more valuable than she ever would have believed.

For with each passing night, Reyna can’t shake the sensation that it’s Beckham who’s afraid of her.

Review:

Very interesting start to this new series!

I really enjoyed this world that the Author invented. The story was fast paced, mysterious and action packed. Now, this story does end on a cliffhanger, so if that bothers you may want to wait until all the parts are out to read it. I liked the way the Author made the humans the more down trodden and the vampires are ruling everything. You have the gritty, run down side where the humans live and the modern, clean side where the vampires live.

I really liked Reyna, she is smart, independent and not afraid to do what she needs to do to help her family and herself. She is although a little out of her league with all the vampires and machinations going on.

Beckham is definitely your typical brooding vampire. For most of the book I don't really like him. Of course, later we learn there is more than meets the eye with Becks. Once they are actually together they have super chemistry and the intimate scenes are sexy and well-written.

Like I said before this does end on a cliff hanger and I cannot wait to read what happens next.

4Stars
*I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book provided by the publisher.*

Linde has done it again. I have been DYING for this novel to come out since I read her announcement, and it was SO MUCH MORE than I was hoping for.

Reyna and Beckham! I just can't, I need more of them and I need it now.

This novel was such a change of pace for Vampire reads. It reminds me of a move that came out a while back where vampires were mainstream and kind of ran the world. I Loved it. I also loved this book. It was new and exciting and my goodness, the build up in this book rivals all of Linde's other publications for my top read.

Also, this book has SO MUCH IN IT! There is a lot of world building going on and a lot of building of the story, while also developing the plot. I loved that I felt like I was learning the world as I was reading the story, rather than Having he book told to me before we dove into the fun parts.

I don't know if that makes sense. But I don't know how wiles to pt it. You dive in and get immersed into the read, but not in a confusing way. Loved it.

Reyna was a strong willed character that fought her own battles. I loved that she did what she needed to do to save her family. I also loved that she stuck to her guns and kept her attitude and personality through everything she endured.

I can't wait for the next novel in this series.

If you are a vampire fan, or even a romance fan that loves a good paranormal twist, GET THIS!

Have you been needing a good vampire romance lately? With angst, mystery, and characters you can’t get enough of? Look no further than K.A. Linde’s Blood Type. Holy crap! This book blew me away. I devoured it within hours and needed more after it was over. This storyline consumed me in every way and I’m so ready for the next installment; just know…Blood Type does, in fact, end in a cliffhanger.

“Everyone is corrupt. Everyone is broken.”
“I’m not,” she whispered.”
“Oh Little One, this world will kill the goodness left within your beating heart.”
“But it will not break me.”
“No,” he agreed. He leaned his head into her hair and drew a deep breath. “I will do that.”

Everything about this book is so well developed; the characters are amazingly thought out and it’s like their personalities jump off the pages. I fell in love with both Beckham and Reyna. Beckham’s character was full of angst and intrigue while Reyna was hot headed, brave, and so relatable in almost every way possible. She’s human with all the complicated emotions and thought processes while Beckham, the vampire, is shrouded in all the mystery that a character like him should be. He has many layers and I loved how Reyna peeled them back little by little in her own human-like way.

The world Linde has created is so detailed and thought provoking that it was easy to get lost in. When we readers enter into it, Vampires have already came out of hiding and have established themselves as a part of functioning society. In fact, they have taken over and are in no way finished making the world more vampire-friendly. Because of this and a fallen economy most humans just can’t make ends meet. This is why Reyna decides to become a blood escort so she can help contribute to her family’s financial needs. By random selection (or was it), she is chosen for Beckham’s permanent escort, a new program at Beckham’s corporation, Visage, was slowly rolling out. This is where things get good…

Beckham isn’t too keen on a permanent escort; reason being is that he has his own motives and she doesn’t fit into his life or the plan that he’s laid out. She’s a means to an end, but he isn’t prepared for Reyna because she becomes so much more than just something to appease his boss. She ensnares him and enchants him like no other ever has. When things start heating up at Visage Reyna is smack dab in the middle of it and we are left trying to figure out if their personal relationship can withstand the issues in their professional lives.

In Linde fashion, the chemistry between Reyna and Beckham is off the charts! It was a palpable type of need in both of them that leaves readers breathless and needing more. I loved how the instant attraction was there but both fought to keep it at bay, but in the end just couldn’t deny themselves any longer. Sure, there are huge hiccups in their way and believe me…it’s so much more than he’s a vampire and she’s a human. The overall plot was fast paced and has a depth to it that just fascinated me and put me in awe of Linde’s talent.

Everything about this book is so good and I’m so, so ready for the next installment that releases June 26, 2018.

paranormal is not my usual type of book but if KA writes it then I must read it!

Ms Linde smashed this book out of the park, i devoured this story like my life depended on it.

I highly reccomend this story to everyone, new and old to this author!

“Everyone is corrupt. Everyone is broken.”
“I’m not,” she whispered.
“Oh Little One, this world will kill the goodness left within your beating heart.”
“But it will not break me.”
“No,” he agreed. He leaned his head into her hair and drew a deep breath. “I will do that.”

We are paranormal readers at heart, it’s always been one of our favourite genres. If you’re like us in that respect then you’ll know what we mean when we say Blood Type was pure old school paranormal and we are so incredibly excited about this. Nostalgia eat your heart out, this is just what we needed and have been missing. Now whilst it felt old school there was no mistaking this for something we’d read before, rather it was a unique and original concept with passion, suspense and intrigue.

‘She wanted to make something of herself. One day she would. Every journey begins with one step. Hers began with this one. ‘

KA Linde slowly built a world of humans and vampires living alongside each other knowingly yet with a deep seated resentment brewing in the background. The affluent vampires living it up and the humans struggling in poverty. The vampires are without question in control but in the shadows a rebellion is brewing. Just who is betraying who and what truly lies behind the intentions of the Visage?

‘She wanted more. She craved him like an addict craved the next hit. She didn’t know what he did to her, but when they got like this, she didn’t care. It didn’t matter how infuriating he was, she was caught up in the whirlwind of their desires.’

Reyna our naïve and sometimes slightly frustrating heroine is trying to make life better for her two brothers as well as herself. Living in the slums with little to no escape she decides to sign up to become a blood donor at the prestigious company Visage which proclaims to serve the sole purpose of acting as a blood bank for vampires in order to stamp out -a literal blood bath- and also to match up vampire to human of the same blood group which prevents unnecessary violent reactions. Little does Reyna know that her blood means she’s matched to a very powerful vampire and not only that, she’s signing up to become his own personal blood escort.

“So that’s it? You said you’d never kiss me again…and now you have.”
“A mistake,” he said callously. “Your emotions run high, and they send my…baser instincts into overdrive.”
“It couldn’t be that you’re a man desiring a woman?”
“No. It is an animal enjoying the hunt. The monster within struggling to get out. Nothing more.”

Beckham Anderson is an enigma. Affluent, secretive, aloof, superior and seriously frustrating but an oh so wonderfully lush and delicious brooding vampire who is clearly hiding what and who he truly is. There’s a steel wall encasing the heart and mind of our controlling vampire. Whilst there’s bouts of caring, attraction and protectiveness displayed he’s still an insufferable arsehole, but a lovable arsehole nonetheless.

“Come back.”
“What?”
“Come back….Stay with me.”
“Why? So you can keep stringing me along?”
“No, because with me is where you belong.”

This first book in a three book series was brilliantly written and a great introduction to a story we found to be immediately addictive. It was fast paced story wise yet the romantic element almost slow burn. Even though book one was push pull – back and forth we understood why and enjoyed that this aspect felt almost secondary to an evolving storyline of the inequality between vampires and humans and the fight that’s brewing just beneath the surface. A mystery is unravelling and we cannot wait to discover what truly lies beneath.

Oh, there are so many things I could say about this book.

So many things!

But I honestly don't know what to say.

I'm just... Shocked. And have a book hangover.

A serious book hangover...


Ok, here goes!


I loved it.

I loved the concept, I loved the writing style (it was my first KA Linde) and I liked the characters.

The chemistry between Reyna and Beckham was smoking hot.

The pace of the story was just right.

The information teases and setups were gripping. Throughout the book, I had so many suspicions and theories... And I was right on a couple of things! However, there is so much more to come and I cannot wait!


The book was unputdownable and I swear to god I was in a near perpetual state of anxiety throughout the entire thing waiting for something bad to happen, for the other shoe to drop, and for it to all go wrong... And it did!

OMG the ending!!

WHY?

Why did it have to end like that?!

I hate cliffhangers and this was just too much!

I can't take it! I may actually die and I can't die because I need to know what happens!

😭

I think paranormal romance lovers who like their PNR with an edge - this edge being a pseudo-dystopian setting - should definitely read this and fear not on the cliffie! For book two is out soon.

I have been wanting to read K.A. Linde for a while, but had not gotten around to it yet, so when I had the chance to review Blood Type, I jumped on it. Though I have read paranormal stories before, they are not what I tend to read, but I was so very pleasantly surprised reading this! I devoured this book!

In Blood Type, vampires are the rulers and humans fight to survive. Reyna Carpenter needs to help her family and when all else fails, she decides to become a blood escort. Reyna wanted to be strong and was determined to do what needed to be done.

Beckham Anderson is a wealthy and very commanding vampire. He is dark, sexy and full of mystery. He was a cold and distant, yet there were times we saw a bit of a thaw from him. I loved him, even when I was frustrated with him!

Reyna’s brothers were doing all they could to survive and care for her, but she realizes she needs to do her part as well. So, she becomes a blood escort, someone who provides blood when needed, and was partnered with Beckham. She was so unprepared for him. He on the other hand seems to be interested in everything but Reyna.

As I mentioned, I have read paranormal books before, but they are not usually my go-to for reading, however, to-date, Blood Type is the best PNR book I have read. I was riveted by this story and cannot wait to get my hands on the next book! The story was full of angst and that ending! I have a new-to-me author for sure!

4.5 stars! Loved it!

I have to tell you that I am so excited about this new twist on Vampires, this dystopian paranormal romance. Oddly I have never been a huge dystopian fan (minus Hunger Games of course, ha) but there is just something so right about bringing these two genres together and in particular with vampires as the paranormal element.

Reyna is a loyal as they come, to her brothers that is...her only remaining family, a family who have not just fallen on hard times but have been living in poverty, her brothers working themselves to the bone just to keep a ramshackle roof over their heads and a minuscule amount of food in their bellies. Reyna, unable to finish college, meaning unable to get a beneficial job does the only thing she can to help her families finances, she decides to become a blood donor.

Things go topsy turvy for Reyna however when she becomes (basically) a test subject in a new type of blood host arrangement. Instead of short term arrangements the vampire counsel is attempting to discover how long term arrangements between one vampire and one host will work out. Seemingly in their mind this is a win-win situation for everyone, but of course you know there has to be something nefarious going on underneath. Not only is Reyna invited into this new program but she's also placed with bad boy millionaire alpha, top of the 'game' vampire, Beckham.

When it comes to Beckham, he's a vampire you love to hate and hate to love. He's got a lot of annoying habits (one human in particular) and even more secrets. Yet, even at his worst moments if Reyna could see past her fears of the unknown and her naivety she would see that he is only trying to care for and protect her the only way he knows how. The vampire world as we know it has a different feel in this book but the basic truths of vampire society hold true. There are always machinations, always a hierarchy, and always some truly depraved among them. I loved that even with the dystopian-ness of Blood Type the basic truths that we have come to expect from a paranormal are still there. It gives this book a edgy comfort that will have you feeling safe in your read when you really never are, ha.

I will tell you this book, it ends on a pretty big cliffhanger so if you don't mind them go forth and read, READ NOW. However, if you are not a cliffhanger fan be warned. Buy the book but just wait for the next one, Blood Match to come out..maybe even the last, Blood Cure. I am so excited for this series. I am a HUGE paranormal fan and other than my tired and true authors (J.R. Ward, Gena Showalter, Kresley Cole, Carrie Ann Ryan...) I feel like paranormal has kinda fallen by the wayside so it is great to see a new fresh idea coming out, especially one like this that will have you hooked and begging for more!

Rayna raised her hand as her number was called by an administrator of the hospital. - number 4 9 2. Reyna had been waiting eight hours and at last her number had been called. Visage was the largest company in the world and it specializes primarily in what they called body employment services or blood escorts. Reyna was waiting to be tested and become the thing she feared most. Then she thought how her brothers Brian and drew were going to kill her. But reyna was there of her own free will if poverty and near starvation could be considered free will. Thousands had gone through the testing in the last ten years since Visage had unveiled its plan to employ humans as blood donors for vampires. Reyna had to put food on the table for hre brothers and that was why she was here. Reyna couldn’t stand seeing them wasting their lives away toiling in factories. Reyna hated needles but there would be lots and lots of needles. Reyna was twenty one her parents had died thirteen years ago in a car accident. Reyna had an on again off again boyfriend named Steven who worked with her brothers. Then another man came through the door and told the administrator-Dr Trainer after her vitals had been done and blood drawn- to go to the eastern corredor. The man came in and reminded reyna of a mad scientist, he introduced himself as Dr. Roger Washington. He proceeded to tell Ryena they had elected her to be a trial subject for their new venture. Dr washington was the head of the team. Her type, history, build, and biology made her a great candidate for this venture. He also said anything they talked about was completely classified. Visage came forward in the middle of the economic collapse and wanted humans and vampires tp coexist in a mutually beneficial atmosphere. The Blood Cure was born. They would register all known vampires and offered humans money to become their blood donors. They new program was a permanent position with double the pay instead of switching to different sponsors every month which was being done now. Even though Reyna knew her brothers would hate her doing this she agreed as Dr. Washington told her she could quit at any time.that she wanted to. Then reyna filled out a lot of paperwork and was told her sponsor was there to pick her up. Reyna’s sponsor was Beckham/Becks Anderson he was Senior Vice president of Visage Incorporated. Reyna was very intimidated but refused to let Beckham see it. This man made her want to run as fast and as far away from him as possible. She could do this. She could leave behind everything she had ever known and go live with this strange man Beckham was a complete ass. He lived in the penthouse of a Visage building in the city that Reyna hated. It had been a week and a half and still beckham had not fed from Reyna. She knew he had originally been against the program but had still became her sponsor. Reyna went to club with the valet-Everett- of their building as she wanted some friends but Everett hit on her and reyna went outside to get some air and Everett followed but then was attacked by a rogue vampire and almost drained dry then the rogue was going after Reyna ready to bite her then Beckham showed up and killed the vampire got Everett to the hospital and took her home. He had saved her life. Beckham called his “Little One”. Beckham brought Reyna a camera so she could take pictures for a hobby. But he warned her not to let anyone know.
I was very disappointed by the ending of this book I had loved it was going to rate this a five until the last chapter or so. Then it went to ma three an I pondered a lower score but it was a great read until the end and that had ruined the book for me i was actually POed . I loved Beckham and Reyna together. I loved how he always worried about her being safe and actually saved her several times and took all her questions even if he rarely answered them. But as I said the ending had ruined what I so had been enjoying.

This book was great. Reyna is struggling to find work after the economy collapsed and vampires are controlling technology and jobs. Beckham is a high level Visage corporation vampire. Reyna is desperate to take the load off her brothers, so she signs up to be in Visage’s blood donor program for money. Reyna is paired with Beckham, and she is not ready for his world and what comes along with it.

This book is not like every other paranormal book, which I appreciated. It has characters you love, and ones you hate, and things are never what you expect. I can’t wait to find out next. K.A. Linde hit this one out of the park.

Ok so let’s start by saying I normally don’t read paranormal. I just thought that in my mind I wouldn’t be able to imagine what was going on in the storyline but I was soooooo wrong. This book just got me from the start. I could not put it down once I started.

Reyna is simply trying to survive. Her brothers are doing everything they can but with the economy on a downfall, they can barely make ends meet. So Reyna turns to her only option, Visage. She would be working for vampires as a blood donor. The only problem is she gets matched to a super gorgeous vampire named Beckham Anderson.

The storyline is strong, the characters well written, and the emotions are all there. In true K.A. Linde fashion this book broke my heart and left me wanting more. If paranormal isn’t your thing, don’t worry. This story itself is so gripping that the vampire stuff just becomes seamlessly part of the book.

Loved it!!!! Can’t wait for the next one!!!!

This was one of those books you don't want to put down. The writing was good and I loved Reyna and Beckham. I would love to see this made into a movie. It does leave on a cliffhanger and I can't wait to read the next book.

Can you imagine a world where vampires reign over the human race? A place where humans are living in poverty and barely surviving. One of the most controversial ways to earn a living is by becoming a blood escort for the vampire race. This ‘occupation’ is like a slap in the face to the human race. Having one of their own act as the lifeline to the vampires that are determined to reign over all of humanity.

With no job prospects in site, Reyna Carpenter knows that money is scarce for her family. No one wants to hire someone without a college education, and there are no funds to pay for Reyna to attend any such college. Feeling as though she can bring much needed income to the apartment she shares with her brothers, Reyna signs up to be a blood escort. During her induction, Reyna is pulled from the rest of the new hires and offered a special incentive. To become a donor for one of the most elite vampires…..Beckham Anderson.

Trepidation takes hold of Reyna’s thoughts, but she is determined to see this through until the end. A focus to help her brothers receive the life that they deserve. What Reyna quickly learns is nothing is as it seems. Like with Beckham is confusing and full of mystery. A combination that excites, frightens and sends thoughts swirling for Reyna. As Reyna quickly learns, appearances can be deceiving and life will never be as it was.

What an intriguing and complicated world KA Linde has created with Blood Type. A place where vampires reign supreme, and the human race is embroiled in an impending rebellion. There is mystery and danger lurking around the corner, and Beck and Reyna will find themselves smack dab in the center of it all.

The beginning of this book was definitely engrossing, and pulled me into this tale of a vampire dominant world. A place where the dynamics of society are the complete opposite of the world as we know it. Then the second half of the book hit me with a depressing let down. A confusing relationship that didn’t hold the addiction, tension or captivation that one experienced during the buildup of the plot. Reyna and Beckham did not hold the heat or romance that one would have expected based on the path that the author had led the characters towards. The plot didn’t seem as smooth and had a ‘choppy’ direction that really took away from the appeal of the story.

Then you will discover an ending that leaves you with more questions than answers. A realistic expectation given how the book ‘ended’. While most will find this paranormal romance appealing, I was left with a plot predictability that often times left me with the desire to rush through the ‘fluff’. The last paragraph pulled me back into the story though. Leaving me hoping that Beckham and Reyna have a bit of redemption of the romantic kind. So – I have my fingers crossed that all will pan out with the release of the next book.

If you're like me (and God bless you if you are because you need all the blessings you can get), you swore off vampire paranormal romances a while ago. Well, it's time to jump back on that train, dear readers, because KA Linde has a fantastic series brewing featuring vampires.

There is a new world out there, and it is ruled by the vamps. Not Edward-esque vampires, either. Beckham and his ilk may be gorgeous and perfect looking, but this brood is far more interesting and complex. Only the wealthy vampires are thriving because they can afford to hire people to be their "blood escorts," which means a class battle of sorts is brewing. I liked how KA Linde uses that plot thread to make you connect even deeper to this story. It isn't just vampires and humans, it's haves, have-nots, privileged and poor.

Of course there is a romance, and since this is the first book of a series, you can be sure that the romance builds slowly. KA Linde makes you question whether Reyna and Becks will wind up together, whether they have enough in common to be a couple. There are a couple of scenes that broke my heart for Reyna, and there was one scene that left me weeping for Becks.

This is a spicy, intense start to what no doubt will prove to be a spicy, intense series. I can't wait for the next book!

I’ve been a fan of Ms. Linde’s since she made me fall for the number one ahole, Jack while reading Avoiding Commitment. I’ve watched her dip her feet in different genres. First with fantasy with the Ascension series and now PNR with Blood Type. I can say without a doubt I will read anything this woman writes. I won’t lie, I didn’t warm up to Beckham until the end of the story. I love a good jerk, but a vampire jerk LOL takes the cake. Believe it or not the vampires aren’t the scariest thing in this story. The scariest thing for me was how I could easily see our world turning as rock-bottom as this make-believe world….minus the vamps. With that cliffhanger of an ending I am super excited that this series will be released months apart.
(4.5 stars)

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.

Blood Type is a twist on how vampires will rule once they come out of hiding and take over the world.  The mix of humans and vampires isn't what one would think it would turn out to be.  Human jobs are not typically high paying.

Reyna is desperate to help her brothers out with some type of income so she visits the lab to have her blood tested.  Once tested one of the company big wigs, Beckham, claims her as his blood servant.

There's a few ups and downs in this story with Reyna and Beckham.  Not everything is as it seems. Reyna needs Beckham to help keep her safe and alive. She doesn't see it that way because secrets are held close to Beckham's chest.

If you're one who loves to read about vampires - I think you may enjoy Blood Type.  I can't wait to read Blood Match!

Linde has outdone herself, again! I have come to expect graft and unexpected when it comes to KA Linde’s Writing and Blood Type was no different. Linde’s leap in to PNR was something I have been anticipating for a long time. With this leap, Linde brings a fresh, thrilling, and unique PNR story unlike any other! She brought her A game when writing this story. From the oh so sexy and broody Beckham to the beautiful but headstrong Reyna....any PNR lover or non-lover is sure to fall for everything about this story! This heart pounding, heart-stopping takes your emotions on a wild ride, you won’t want to get off of anytime soon. The only thing left to say? You want this book! Read this book and...I need more Beckham and Reyna ASAP!

I would like to thank Netgalley and Loveswept for providing me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

VAMPIRES!!!! Oh heck yes! Sign me up!!

This is the first book I have read by K.A. Linde and I would love to read more from her. This is a world that is run by wealthy and affluent vampires and most of the human population lives in poverty. Reyna who lives with her two brothers is unable to find a job. They are barely making ends meet or put food on the table. Reyna decides to work as a blood escort for the vampires in order to help her brothers. When Reyna applies she learns that she will be a live in for one of the more prestigious vampires.

For me this book started out strong and I was on a roll until about half way through it. I had a hard time with Reyna and how she went back and forth so much. I felt like she was supposed to come off as naïve but it seemed more defiant. She would want to leave Beckham but wanted him to chase her. I really they thought they lacked chemistry so it was hard to even imagine this as a romance. Then there’s Beckham. The book tells you how he is a monster with a dark past but it don’t say why. I know it sounds like I am picking this apart or that I didn’t care for it but I did. Those were just parts that stood out. I liked the political aspects of the book and the premise that this book was based off. I loved the ending! I can’t wait for book two.

Warning, this is a book for adults. There may be some triggers with some of the violence and abuse that Reyna receives at the hands of others. It also ends in a serious cliffhanger.

5 ★ - Dangerously Fun, Pleasantly Tantalizing and Deliciously Sexy!

It’s been such a long time since I’ve read vampire books, so I didn’t really have super high expectations for this one. The cover definitely lured me in and I was in the mood for something steamy and sexy. Well, this book completely took my breath away. It was so damn good and way better than I expected it would be. Oh and that insanely wicked cliffhanger...Ughh I don’t know what to do with myself. So glad I saw this book on Netgalley and took a bite cause I am addicted and dying to get my hands on the next installment!!

Blood Type by K.A. Linde is dangerously fun, pleasantly tantalizing, and so deliciously sexy. I was extremely enamored by the world building and storyline that I found it almost impossible to put the book down. It’s dark, mysterious, and quite terrifying at times, but incredibly fascinating. I’ve never read anything by this author, but I can honestly say that I am completely hooked. It’s definitely one of those books that would keep you up late at night fighting sleep as long as possible. I know I did and no regrets... Even if I had to load up on caffeine for work the next day.

K.A. Linde also knows how to keep you on your toes. The plot twist totally took me by surprise. I kind of knew there would be something in the end that would leave me in an emotional mess, but I was not prepared for that at all. It was like someone ripped my heart away and stomped on it over and over. I was hurt. angry and scared for Reyna and so sad for Beckham. Don't want to spoil all the juicy fun so just be prepared for the FEELS.

I thought Reyna was a great MC. She was a tad bit whiney at times, but she had plenty of qualities that made her likable. She was passionate, determined, and a fighter. Beckham… where do I even begin. He was enigmatic, sexy, charming, and dangerous. He was hot and cold and at times even a little mean. He frustrated me and I wanted to slap him so many times, but like Reyna, I was undeniable drawn to him. Their chemistry was amazing and the push and pull between them was so addictive.

This book sucked me in, stole my heart and left me breathless. There’s romance, suspense, humor, steam, and characters you can’t help but root for. Blood Type by K.A. Linde is without a doubt an awesome thrilling paranormal romance book. I really enjoyed exploring this dark and dangerous dystopian world where humans and vampires coexist and I cannot wait to find out what happens next.

I received an advance reader copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
