Blake has captivated and entrapped me completely with this book. Right from the start you get snarled into a world that is fast moving, twisted, and unpredictable. You can’t help but like the characters, who pair together wonderfully. If you like vampires, shifters, mystery, action, mystery, and the battle of preserving oneself this is def for you. That is only a few of the aspect you can find with in the pages. I have officially become an huge fan and can not wait to dive into the next book!
This was a great urban fantasy book that kept my attention until the very end! In three days Holly will become a vampire and slave to Micah if she can’t figure out how to kill him first. Noah, a shifter, helps her track him down, but ultimately their plan and efforts are useless since Micah is aware of them. This book was filled with action, emotions, twists and turns, and paranormal beings. I really enjoyed the world and characters that Adrienne has created- I could picture myself there with the vivid descriptions and found myself lost within the book!

Loved this page-turning adventure with great characters woven into this urban fantasy! This is my first experience with Adrienne Blake but won’t be my last. I am looking forward to many more sleepless nights with this series and trying out some of her other stories created.

BLOOD CURSE is the second book in the Misty Cedars series. It is billed to be part of the world portrayed in Spelling Bee, although those characters do not appear in this book. Perhaps it will be clearer once we have a few more books in the series how that short story relates to the series…?
This is one of those books where I wondered why they bothered to put in chapter marks. There is no putting this thing down and coming back to it later. I have the sleepy droopy eyes to prove it. Once Holly jumps into her red Alfa Romeo car the non-stop action starts, along with the nail-biting, the heart pounding, and the page turning to find out what happens next.
Adriane Blake provides amazing descriptions that drop you right into the scene. So much so, that I forgot I wasn’t in Pennsylvania. Which considering I’m in the path of Dorian right now, PA isn’t a bad place to be instead.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

This was a very different storyline. It has a unique approach for the vampire and shifter relationships. It is well written and has fantastic characters. It is a quicker read but is very good were it doesn’t leave you hanging. For something different it is definitely worth reading.

Crap on toast! Adrienne hits this bad boy out of the park. One spinning vortex with all the trials and tribulations that propels those swirling emotions bursting into play front and center. Trying to survive the twists and turns of this gruesome ride that’s a hard track to follow. One non-stop, action packed, heart pounding, nail-biting, page flipping adventure that hooks you from the start and reels you in for the duration. Perilous drama, adversity, intrigue, nerve racking danger and electrifying suspense take you on one thrilling adventure. Adrienne totally nailed this bad boy 100% on point with one dynamic storyline and gripping plot bring this bad boy catapulting to life beautifully. Sparks fly as confusion, mayhem and chaos ensues in epic proportions. The characters are original, tangible and authentic with just enough flaws to make it more interesting. Their personalities are unique with qualities and traits that balances out perfectly. The scenes are so detailed and descriptive it gives the illusion you’re right there in the middle of ground zero with them. Remarkable job Adrienne, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.
Holly is unsettled in her life. She decides a drive in the countryside is just what she needs. After being pulled over by an officer in the middle in the nowhere, she wakes up in the home of a handsome stranger. Feeling unwell, she relies on this stranger to help her. Why and what attacked her? This is a great story of overcoming and finding who you are. I can’t wait to see what happens to Holly next!. You will too!
“Blood Curse” is the first instalment in the “Misty Cedars – Vampire Edition” series by Adrienne Blake is a captivating and well-written urban fantasy vampire story, whose heroine (Holly) get thrown right on into an impossible situation. After a traffic incident, she finds herself victim of a vampire attack, with only three days to do something against succumbing to her sire for the rest of her life. Micah, said sire, has been breaking havoc and rampaging all over the city to Noah’s annoyance; and as much as Noah despise vampires and their fledgling, he decides to partner with Holly and the quest to hunt and kill Micah, to finally end his killing spree and free Holly from eternal doom in the process.
Three day may not seem like much, but when the rest of your eternal life is in the balance, they have to be enough, even if the process gets complicated by Noah and Holly’s chemistry and feelings toward each other. Holly struggles between hunting down Micah and keeping her feelings for the apparently ‘less interested’ Noah, without realizing that Noah is fighting against his own feeling for fear of loosing Holly to the bite and having to stake her in the end.
This is a fast-paced, easy to read urban fantasy paranormal romance, in which – for once – vampires (to be) and werewolves aren’t full in opposite side. A cozy slow burn page turner, perfect to put you in a good mood with a cup of your preferred beverage
Holly needs to get away, so she decides to jump in her car and head out. Not caring where she was going, she just drives. That is until the lights show up in her rearview mirror. The next thing she knows, she’s waking up in a strange house and being told that she’s now a vampire. This is when she learns that not only vampires are real, but so are shifters.
Noah knows there’s something hunting in his territory. The immortal’s been through before. This time, he rescues the beautiful woman and her car. Taking them both back to his house, he takes care of her until she wakes up and then informs her of what’s happened. When she doesn’t believe him, he shifts to his wolf form briefly.
The pair come up with a plan to kill the vampire that turned her, hoping that once he’s dead, she’ll be ok. Heading to the town of Misty Cedars, where they suspect the vampire is hiding out, they decide how they’ll do it. Along the way, a strong sexual attraction grows between the two.
I enjoyed this story, the build up to the battle is good and the battle itself is filled with tension and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I will definitely be reading the next book in the series to see what happens to Holly and Noah next.
