You will definitely want to get your fix in this newest installment of the Vampire Rebel Series! I received this book as an ARC copy and am leaving a voluntary review!
Light is a blood lifer in love with a human, Kathy, and to protect her, she must leave her while he hunts down the biggest threat to their relationship, Versailles. Three weeks ago he’s left her, and he’s trying to stay on the straight and narrow until he can get back to her.
The local vampires are in the Moon Cult. The moment they met Kathy and Light, they wanted the duo to join. But neither of them are okay with the kinds of sacrifices this cult is making.
Blood Gods is as much about Light’s love for Kathy as it is his desire to take down Versailles. Being orphaned at a young age, he’s drawn to the idea of family, but being a vampire, it’s not something he can make happen. This story flits back and forth between the present and the events that have led up to the present. While there are minimal characters, Johns has done an excellent job with them. I love her books so I am anxious to see where this series goes.
Wow… I have always been a fan of Rosemary A Johns. This book showed me no matter where she takes these books, they will always be epic!! This is the story of Light and Kathy. Their love is truly magical, he is a vampire(blood lifer) and she is human. And he gives up everything to be with her. Now there is a secret cult hunting Light and they are taking children. Light vows to stop them, it’s the only way to save the humans and his one true love. Light is my favorite character and this book let me see what he went through before Blood Dragons. This book shows you a dark side that will keep you on a thrill ride. You are pulled into the story with so much suspense you can not put the book down. It is just awesome and be ready, this is one book you will not forget.
Now, let me start this off by saying that when I started reading this book I didn’t know exactly what to expect. I was in a bit of a personal fog, but once I picked this book up and started reading I was hooked. The author introduces us to a vampire and his human love. They are exiled because he dared to tell her about Blood Lifers and their existence instead of staying true to the Blood Lifer way and remaining in the shadows. But it seems that this is the end of them flitting from shadow to shadow. A beautiful and dangerous vampire is seeking sacrifices for the Blood God and in snatching a small child that Light and his love were just cooing over a target has been placed on them.
Rosemary A. Johns brings dynamic and engaging characters with this story. The story has several letters from Light to Kathy and they kept me page-turning. I kept wondering…is she getting the letters? Did something happen to her? The author gives me so much with this story. Light straddles the line of what he is and what he wishes to be. I’m not gonna lie…I’m diggin’ Maverick. LOL! I honestly hope that they cross paths again.
There isn’t anything that I don’t like about this book. The author has actually piqued my interest to get the Rebel Vampire books and read those. I’ve actually read one, but it was the second in the series and I struggled to get into it, but I think that this story helps set the stage for me and I’m looking forward to reading these books.
If you are a fan of Rosemary A. Johns then I highly recommend that you grab this book and dive in. So much is packed into this book and I loved every minute of it. I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars.
“It’s not enough to be swallowed by the dark: you have to fight it.” -Kathy
Exiled, hunted, on the run; Light and Kathy defy the odds, and the other vampires, to be together. A First Lifer and a Blood Lifer? They must die! No Blood Lifer is to EVER reveal themselves to a First Lifer: EVER!
The years are passing, and Kathy is mortal; aging is inevitable. But Light can’t let her go; she is his world, his obsession. But other Blood Lifers are hunting them; the predator has become prey… again. But there is more occurring than just the ongoing hunt… infants are being stolen, with no clues left behind. A miasma of malevolence and sadistic evil is swirling around Light and Kathy and threatens to devour them both. Light must find the inner strength, the fortitude to fight not only other Blood Lifers, but his own intrinsic nature, to triumph over an ancient evil and become the dark hero that Kathy has always known him to be….
The gift that Kathy had granted—had always granted—me. The knowledge that love could be equal and free. For the first time in both First and Blood Life, I was free to be whatever I chose: prey or predator. – Light
Haunting… beautiful agony… Light finds himself facing his greatest desire… and his ultimate fear. You will find yourself being subsumed into this tale, grasping for a way out… it will become a shadow in your mind… one that’s glimpsed out of the corner of your eye… or as you drift into slumber…
Blood Gods will thrill you!
Light is a blood lifer who has given up everything to be with Kathy who is human and they are very much in love. They live quite happily together until a secret cult shows up and starts taking children and also stalking Light. Light had escaped them a long time ago and wants nothing to do with them and vows to get the children away from them. He leaves Kathy behind for her own safety and sets off the get the children. There are twists and turns as Rosemary is a amazing story teller and will keep you on the edge of your seat till the end of the book.
Rosemary never fails to entertain and Blood Gods doesn’t miss the mark. Great read!
Light and Kathy’s story is intense and suspenseful. I like how the beliefs and history of the Blood Lifers were woven in. The book was easy to comprehend this way.
Good story about a vampire who is trying to balance his nature with his love of a human. And the quest that has him struggling with how far he is willing to go to stop a monster.
