Review:
I really love this book! It was great. A awesome conclusion to a great series. It was goot to see Becks opening up more. He did some terrible things in his past but he is trying to make things right. He is also trying to communicate more with Reyna.
Reyna really grew up since we first met her. She is no longer a naive girl that didn’t stand her ground. She now is a strong woman, a fighter, someone that doesn’t give up and pushes to do the right thing. She and Beckham really became equals.
What is this book about:
This book takes of where the last one ended. The plan to take out Harrington failed. Reyna and her friends suffered a terrible loss. They have all been betrayed and pay’d an aweful price. They don’t know who survived the bombings. She doesn’t know whether her brothers are still alive. And to make matters worse, Beckham is gone.
The rebellion is on it’s ass and Reyna isn’t sure they can recover from their loss. Harrington has won. Or so he thinks!
What did I like about this book:
I liked the development the characters went through. You can really see them grow throughout the series.
I like most of the side characters. Reyna made some amazing friends.
I do wonder what Graves is. I hoped we saw him more but we didn’t. Maybe we’ll see him in his own book someday. That would be interesting.
Overall I really enjoyed this series, I hope the publisher decided to publish in paperback in the future because I’d love to have these book on my shelves.

“As they were moving, her heel fell off and onto the patio floor. Just like Cinderella. Except instead of her going to the ball to find Prince Charming, her Prince Charming died at the ball.”
I don’t think I will be getting over this series any time soon. The last time I was this anxious to get my hands on an instalment of a series was The Royals by Erin Watt and it is also safe to say that Linde delivered Erin Watt level of cliffhangers which resulted in hanging mouths, internal screaming and screeching.
Picking up right where Blood Match left off, we are immediately thrust into the world of betrayal, vampire-human politics, love and the ultimate fight of survival.
I’ve already said this but K.A. Linde has created such a unique and original world where vampires and human reside and she has done a fantastic job with it.
After the shocking ending of Blood Match and then the revelation after that ending had me squealing and screaming in happiness while rolling on the bed.
“Say you want this lifetime with me,” he whispered against her lips.
“I want everything with you.”
Every character in this series, even the negative ones go through so much growth as individuals and as a group and I couldn’t get enough of Beckham and Reyna and the progression of their relationship.
Beckham and Reyna coming together as a team was such a joy to read. Their developing connection, their powers, the understanding they shared between each other.
It was so much seeing Reyna coming into her own skin and developing and becoming the leader that the people needed and the subsequent relationship dynamics changing between everybody, especially Beckham and Reyna. He was allowing Reyna the space to soar while he was standing behind her, having her back.
Beckham relinquishing control was truly a major move on his part and for the first time, a vampire and human were equals.
The twists and turns and ups and downs and all the secrets finally coming out, Blood Cure had me on the edge of my seat, pages flipping like mad and random shouts of approval and disappointment, it was the perfect conclusion to this series! The ending was exactly what Beckham and Reyna needed.
4 Stars!
What a conclusion to a series…who will win? Humans or Vampires?
The Blood Type Series must be read in order. The books feed entirely off each other. Blood Cure starts up exactly where the 2nd book left off and finishes off the series. My feelings are mixed on this ending. I felt like the buildup was HUGE, there was so much more to tell, so much more for Reyna to do yet now that I have finished I feel like there is still more to tell. I almost feel let down at this ending. I devoured the first three books and could not read them fast enough. I raved about them to my fellow vampire lovers and this one is good too it just isn’t as good as the first two.
I am so hooked on the love between Reyna and Beckham. He is a vampire that falls for his blood mate, who ends up being his soul mate. Did I agree with the way he always treats Reyna? No way but he seemed to always do what was best for her whether she saw it that way or not. There was never a time that I doubt that they belonged together. Their love would get them through whatever the world was throwing at them and make them stronger.
K.A. Linde is now one of my must-read authors and I cannot wait to read more of her books.
OMG!!!!! THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING! I am so obsessed with this series and honestly could not get enough of Reina and her quest to fight along with the ELLE rebellion. And oh boy – be prepared for alllll the secrets and shocking revelations! Gah!! What a fantastic end to this trilogy!!
Without giving away any spoilers, I absolutely loved this novel. It was filled with heart-pounding suspense and the unknown. I held my breath the entire time and honestly never wanted it to end. It was filled with surprises and just when you thought you knew how the story was gonna go: BOOM. The author dragged the rug out from right under your feet.
The conclusion to this story was exciting, exhilarating and so so fantastic. This was absolutely brilliant! Bravo! 4.5 stars! ~Ratula
This was an absolutely wonderful, must read series from K.A. Linde.
I loved Beckham and Reyna’s journey and this series kept me hooked until the very end. They have to fight against Visage and Harrington again in this book and you will be surprised at some of the turns that Blood Cure will take and the ending of this series was really good.
This is not a standalone book and the first two books in this series need to be read before reading Blood Cure.
We pick up after the New Year’s Eve shooting and bombing the bunker of Elle. We didn’t know what had happened to Drew and Laura since they were at the bunker. Nor what happened to Brian, after being taken during a raid that turned into a trap. With what’s left of Reyna’s family in the wind I didn’t know if she would be able to carry on or give in to Harrington. Will Reyna find her family in time to save them? What became of Beckham? Will Elle be able to regroup and over throw Harrington and all of Visage?
Blood Cure was the conclusion of the Blood Type Series and did not disappoint. It was fast paced edgy romance that should not be skipped. Each chapter something new came to light and you were able to see how much stronger Beckham and Reyna grew. You could see how much Beckham didn’t want Reyna in the face of danger, but that he trusted her. I loved the fact that they could feel and share each other’s emotions and powers. The bond that they have, was one I truly loved and it was written magically.
I am sad this series is over. I didn’t think I would get so attached to a series, especially one that was based on paranormal setting. Though if there was one thing that I was hoping for in the end was to see several years in the future of what their kids would be like and what happens in the future. Who knows maybe there will be a Novella, or maybe I will have to dream up what happened during the next decade.
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!
To be fair, I came into book #3 without reading the other 2 books. I definitely need to go read the other 2. Reyna and her crew are reeling from multiple losses. It’s fascinating that they are trying to make vampires and humans equal and able to live together in the same community. There’s war between vampires and anti-vampires, and Reyna helps lead this rebellion. Intriguing read.
If you love vampires, you need to read this series!
Reyna and Beckham finally get their happily ever after. This story was action-packed and filled with the unexpected! Reyna and Beckham have never been closer, but will have to find a way to get forever together.
All Elle and her supporters want is equality for both vampires and humans. The fight is gruesome and many lives are lost. However, in the end justice is served.
This series is filled with great characters and surprises. I absolutely enjoyed the storyline and watching Reyna grow and change from the scared little girl she was, into a force to be reckoned with made it worth it! Beckham and Reyna will be a couple I miss as I loved their connection and chemistry. This story will be one that sticks with you. I am so glad that a friend recommended it to me.
(4.5 stars)
WHAT AN ENDING!! There’s not much I can say because I don’t want to spoil the final book for anybody. What I can say is that I devoured BLOOD CURE in one day. From the first page I was there with Reyna experiencing the rollercoaster of emotions she felt and rode this crazy ride with her. I love this world that Ms. Linde made and there are a few characters that I think we need to be explored more (hint…hint). I hate to say goodbye to Reyna and the rest of Elle and HOPE that somewhere down the line we get more because that’s what I want…MORE!!
Blood Match is the third book in the Blood Type series and definitely CANNOT be read as a standalone. The second book ended on one doozy of a cliffhanger so you’re going to want to have read the first two books so you know what the heck is going on.
Without giving too much away, I’ll say that although it seems as if the event that ended Book 2 was supposed to be a catalyst for Reyna and her “growth” it all just felt a bit rushed to me. And frankly, that’s kind of how I felt about the conclusion of the series overall. Lots of stuff came to a head in what seemed like a relatively short period of time.
Again, as this is a true trilogy, you have to read all three books in order to get the full story arc.
*I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*
Wow. This series is EPIC!
Blood Cure picks up right after the Blood Match events and even though we had to wait for a month to read this series conclusion, I was shocked after that crushing cliffhanger and I remained in shock when I started reading it. So, the book starts a little chaotic as it should after that Blood Match ending, and even though it lessens its fast pace through the middle of the book, it picks it up again with a few events that are, to say the least, mind blowing.
Blood Cure is a page turner, with lots of suspense, lessons of true loyalty, amazing character chemistry, a fantastic plot and an epic love story, it kept me guessing “Who, what, when?!” and I was so invested in Reyna’s feelings, her strength, Elle’s fate, Gabe and Meghan, I loved to get to know Washington’s back-story, and I just wanted to jump right in and help them to take Visage and Harrington down! I’m very curious about Graves and I’m hoping that maybe we’ll get a awesome new series with him.
Blood Match, the second book in this series, remains my favorite but Blood Cure was definitely a stunning series finale and just when I thought I knew how it was going to end… BAM! K.A. Linde is an amazing story teller and the Blood Type series is definitely a must read.
Wahhhhhhhhhh, it’s all over and I’m just a puddle of tears … OKAY, maybe that’s a stretch, but I’m sad that we finally got the conclusion to Reyna and Beckham’s story. I’ve been completely hooked on this series since book 1 and I am so thankful that we didn’t have to wait too long in between to get the next book. Such a great conclusion to this trilogy!
After the way things ended in Blood Match, I’m sure we were all there with our jaws on the floor waiting to see what would happen next. Blood Cure picks up right where it ended in the previous book and you’re quickly thrown into the action. My heart was completely broken for what Reyna went through at the end of the last book, but I refused to accept the truth about a certain thing because there was no way! (Thankfully, Linde didn’t make us wait too long to learn the truth.) However, what she went through and accepting that there isn’t a time to mourn, she locks down her emotions and works toward the end goal. If anything, it empowered her even if she was suppressing all of the pain.
Watching Reyna’s personal journey has been one of my favorites, she’s so different than how she was when we were first introduced to her. She’s fierce, protective and so damn strong in every sense of the word.
The world building has been amazing, Linde did a phenomenal job with it. I love the vampire world, but that extra bit about blood matches kept me so intrigued the entire time. And more is added to it in this one. I found it all so fascinating and an amazing twist on the vampire/human world.
Blood Cure was packed with plenty of action to go around. Reyna and Beckham are absolutely perfect together and I loved seeing Becks get even more protective of Rey. Maybe a bit overbearing, but watching Becks walls come down little by little has been another favorite of mine to watch.
Such an epic trilogy that I hope we see more of with some of the other characters; truly a unique story in every way! Highly recommend to all you PNR lovers out there!K.A. Linde
My stomach was in knots. My palms were sweating. My mind was gone. My heart beating so hard with anticipation. With gusto. With pain. With love. I was scared. I was itching. I was completely overcome with chills deep in my bones. Because of Blood Cure. Let me tell you, Blood Match left me so emotional. I could not recover at all. I was so terrified to start Blood Match because emotionally ruined me. I decided to go in because I loved the series so far and I had to know the ending. K.A. Linde, you are amazing. I bow at your feet. Blood Cure PIERCED my soul. My heart was heavy joy. My skin was ablaze. Blood Cure COMPLETED me. Actually, Blood Cure cured me. Cured my heart. Cured my soul. So perfect. So alluring. So intense. I felt every single sentence. I felt every single magic coming from a riveting paranormal romance. Blood Cure was my UNDOING. Blood Cure was my RECKONING. Blood Cure was my REMEDY. K.A. Linde delivered an exhilarating conclusion. ROCKED me. TANTALIZED me. OVERTOOK my waking thoughts. HAUNTED my dreams.
Blood Cure is the anticipated conclusion to this rich and exciting series. This is the book I have been waiting for. A book that completes a series. A book that ties all the loose ends together. Blood Cure split my heart into two. Blood Cure severed my soul in half. Every page was blinding hot. Every page echoed. Every page was dripping in honey and sin. Every page just offered a delicious snack. I had my fill of it. I took a bite and enjoyed a spectacular romance with a gripping plot. Explosive. Heart Twisting. Heart Stopping. Show Stopping. Incredible. Blood Cure is a sensational paranormal romance with twists and turns, paralyzing drama and hot action. Blood Cure was chaos. Blood Cure was mayhem. Blood Cure was mind bending goodness that filled my bloodstream. I was shaken to the core. I was turned inside and out. K.A. Linde is like a painting. Vivid. Descriptive. Touching. Her writing just holds you till you think only of her words. Blood Cure takes you on a journey of survival, action, battle of good vs evil and love neatly tied in a magnetic paranormal adventure. It is not just a simple vampire story but it is a paranormal escape.
Beckham and Reyna faced so much adversity, loss, obstacles, love and pain. I rooted for them. I adored them. I freaking fell in love with them. With their emotions. With their chemistry. With their love. They faced evil forces to come back stronger. Beckham and Reyna are totally one of my favourite paranormal characters because they exude so much affection and true love. They are the epitome of soul mates destined to be together. They definitely brought so much energy into the story, I am definitely enchanted.
I am not ready to let go. I read this series because it opened my eyes to a mesmerizing journey of a book that assaulted everything inside of me. Thank K.A. Linde for the perfect paranormal romance that touched my heart.
After I finished Blood Match I was nervous. I know that Linde will have a great reason for the cliffhanger that sucked me into this series but I was still nervous how this series would end. But I didn’t have to worry. The beginning of the book starts right at the end of the last book and it sucks you in straight away. You are in a literal page-turner and can’t look back.
I felt like the middle of book lagged a little but when you get to the climax of the book you can’t look away!
The ending was satisfying and not. I felt like I needed more from the characters. I want to keep following them for the rest of their lives. And that’s what I look for in a good book and from a good writer. Characters I want to keep reading about. Story lines I want to keep going.
I loved the series as a whole. I’m not normally a paranormal reader but this series was a great read. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

Blood Cure is an epic conclusion to the Blood Type trilogy, and one that has cemented K.A. Linde as a must read in my book. I hope that in the future she chooses to write more PNR as the sub-genre needs more of this kind of world building and uniqueness.
After the ending of book two (holy shit what was that?) I had no idea what was going to happen. Would Reyna give up, or would she stand stronger. Of course Reyna is the epitome of a strong female so I’m sure you know which way she went. There really isn’t a lot on plot that I can say without ruining the book and the way it is meant to be read, but trust me if you liked the first two books then you’ll love this one!
Sorry to keep this one super short, you know I love to gush when I really enjoyed a book, but I’m too afraid to give away spoilers. To say anything other than I loved it could lead to me slipping. PNR readers need more characters like Reyna, Becks, and all their ragtag friends.
Note: This review contains NO spoilers
What an epic and action-packed conclusion to this series! With each novel, the story continued to build up to this crazy, drama and action-filled climax which kept my heart racing from beginning to end.
The characters and the world-building created this incredibly adventurous story of a young girl growing up to become more than she thought she could have fathomed. Linde’s characters were engaging and likeable… even the bad guys! Haha!!! I sure loved disliking those bad guys. Ha! And, Linde’s world-building… Wow! It is giving me chills just thinking and processing all that I read in this daring story of love and courage.
I am still reeling with feelings on all that “went down!” This final installment in the Blood Type series was an emotional and action-filled roller-coaster that just tore my heart apart and put it back together. Fans of HBO’s True Blood just might enjoy this read, because I sure did. Of course, it is said in the synopsis that these “addictive Blood Type novels are best enjoyed in order: Blood Type | Blood Match | Blood Cure.” And… I would have to agree with that. I would highly recommend reading these novels in order to get the “whole story.”
This book was everything! This whole series was amazing. I was so glued to the story that I just devoured this book in no time. It was brilliant and I will re visit this world again
5 Brilliant Stars!
KA Linde has outdone herself with this epic conclusion to he Blood Tyler series! Blood cure hooked me, fangs and all, from page one….from book one! I absolutely adored this entire series and wouldn’t complain if Linde decided to continue this world, which I never wanted to leave. I love the sexy broody vampire Becks and I loved watching the complete transformation of Reyna. From timid and shy, to brave and strong, Reyna’s transformation was one of my favorite parts in the entire series. If you’re a lover or even a non-lover of paranormal romance, you need the Blood attorney series…you need a Becks…in your life! Grab this entire series for a heart pounding, thrilling, epic PNR series you won’t want to put down! I cannot wait for Linde to bring us another PNR!
3.5 stars for – Blood Cure – the third book in the Blood Type series by K.A. Linde. The books in this series must be read in the order they were written otherwise you will be totally lost. Blood Cure picks up right after the jaw dropping ending in book two and takes you on one crazy and twisted journey to the end.
Reyna is struggling to come to terms with everything that has transpired and finds it hard to find people to trust. She is determined to find justice for her loved ones any way she can and make those who hurt them pay dearly. With danger around every corner and enemies every where they turn, it made for some fast paced, intense reading.
Linde never disappoints when it comes to the angst ridden romances and the steamy, sexy times and this one certainly does conform. This was a pretty good (and even a bit predictable) ending to a series I really enjoyed. Books one and two were phenomenal and some of the most original PNR I’ve ever read, but unfortunately book three just fell flat. To me it seemed the originality and risks that were taken with the first two books were totally absent in the last one with the author instead choosing to wrap everything up in a pretty little bow. I personally would’ve been ecstatic with a “happy for now” scenario then that gives a possibility of continuing the series down the road. I do highly recommend reading the series as it truly is fantastic!
This book starts at a 160 mph and doesn’t let down speed or suspense all through the story. You feel like sitting on the border of your chair biting your nails waiting for what will happen next.
After the dramatic end of Blood Match, the Elle rebellion is in shreds and Beckham had his neck broken by Harrington. Reyna, distraught and devastated, is taken away to hide until they recoup.
With the explosion that destroyed the Elle headquarters, and with Beckham gone, Reyna emerges as the new leader of the rebellion. She wants vengeance and she wants equality for humans. She reunites the few friends left and is in search of others in scattered safe houses around the city. Then, since this is a romance and our dear author is not going to leave us without an HEA, Beckham appears again, like a ghost, surprisingly and very weak.
Reyna and Beckham now lead the rebellion, she for the humans, he for the vampires. Reyna is a new woman now. Gone is the innocent and frail young woman, she is now a warrior, ferocious and intent on finding justice for what was done to her, to Beckham and her family. As Beckham told her: “you are now the heart of Elle”.
The mind connection between Reyna and Beckham, product of their blood match, allows them to connect, open their minds and their hearts, and perceive the other’s presence and situation. They are more in love than ever, more dedicated to the cause to allow them a future together. They have allies and enemies, and they still have to contend with Harrison and his nefarious plans on using humans as food for his vampire army.
The action in this story is non-stop, with several plot-twists and mind turning events. It’s compelling and addictive, to the point that I carried my Kindle everywhere to keep on reading non-stop, even the gym. And the love story is everything you would want in a strong and dynamic couple such as Reyna and Beckham.
