malissac 's review for:
Blood Type
by K.A. Linde
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!
