Blood Divine by Greg Howard

5.0

What made the experience of listening to Blood Divine the most enjoyable?

It was the great combination of the author's words and the narrator's interpretation of the characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

It was hard to say because all the characters are important to this story but if I have to choose it would be Cooper. The unbelievable becomes his world but he has to believe in order to save him, his family, and his friends.

What about Gary Furlong’s performance did you like?

He was a perfect choice for this book. He does a great job in giving life to a book that if I had read it would not have had the same effect. He also changes the tone of his voice, a great job with accents and even a passable job of doing a woman's voice. Because of Mr. Furlong, I thoroughly enjoyed a book that is outside my normal romance genre.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were a couple times that I chuckled but not outright laugh. Did I cry? No but it did hold me entranced. I'm surprising myself by saying this but it is a book that I would listen to again. It also had me looking forward to reading more by the author and listening to more of the narrator's work.

Any additional comments?

This book is very creative. It takes both our country's history and biblical history and mixes it with science fiction, the paranormal, and fantasy. It shows that we need to pay attention to the stories that are passed down generation to generation. You never know what you may have missed in your family history. It's what drew me in.

If you want to give yourself a scare, say for Halloween, why not listen to this at night. Maybe even sit in a cemetery and listen to it. Just make sure to be aware of your surroundings because you never know what will pop out at you.

There was nothing that I didn't love or enjoy with this one and that was a complete surprise to me. If not for being part of a tour of this book, I probably would never have listened to Mr. Howard's book. It was a great reminder that sometimes you need to get out of your comfort zone and take the chance on an author who writes something different than what you're used to. Otherwise you might miss something like Blood Divine and that would be a shame.


I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Audio Copy of this book.
