The characters are quite strong, forceful and easily grab the readers’ attention from the get go and the chemistry that Kristin feels for both Julian and Alex sizzles with lots of heat that readers can practically feel singeing the pages but the love triangle relationship is quite complicated and messy which has lots of turbulent emotions flowing from the pages along with all the turmoil from other aspects of the book, like the discovery of the paranormal, the learning of a past Kirstin had new clue of and the investigation of a serial killer that has Kirstin in his sights.

I must say, I was never a vampire fan. However, I am a HUGE Stacy Eaton fan. I figured since I love all Stacy’s books I would give it a try. To my surprise I LOVED this book. It has suspense, romance and vampires. I started the second book in this series, that’s how much I enjoyed the first.
*I reviewed this book voluntarily, having made no commitment to provide a review and receiving no compensation of any kind for this review.
Kristin is a cop who loves her job. Murders. Throats torn out. Gina Marie. A past life. A good friend. Vampires. Reincarnation. Oh boy, what a story.
My Blood Runs Blue (My Blood Runs Blue #1) was a great read by Stacy Eaton. Kristin is an officer who has always felt like something is missing from her life. She feels as though there is something else out there for her. She winds up investigating a homicide where a young woman’s throat was ripped out. While investigating, she reveals a world that she didn’t know existed. She finds herself in the middle of a love triangle but doesn’t understand why they keep calling her Calista. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more by Stacy Eaton.
This is the first book in the My Blood Runs Blue Series, an emotional paranormal vampire romance. This is one of my favorite paranormal Series! The characters are great and intriguing. The story is well written, intriguing, and captivating.There is a lot going on in this story. The storyline has some unexpected twists and turns, and is filled with mystery, and suspense. Alex Black did a great job with the narration. I love his voice. Looking forward to listen to The Pulse of Blue Blood, the second book in the Series.
AUDIOBOOK REVIEW…I have become an audiobook lover. While I love turning the pages of a good book, listening to a good book is sometimes better. I love that with a good narrator you can hear the emotions of the book, you can feel things that you may miss when reading the book yourself, and that I can multi-task while listening to an audiobook.
Stacy Eaton chose Alex Black as her narrator for My Blood Runs Blue and he was wonderful. He was able to take Stacy’s story and bring it to life. I could feel the emotions, the fear of the unknown, and the love between the characters. I listened while doing my daily walks and found that time passed quickly while I lost myself in Alex’s voice as he told me a story.
The story itself was fun. I had not lost myself in a paranormal book in a while and was excited to start My Blood Runs Blue. The storyline has some great twists and turns while keeping it real enough that I felt like the story could be happening. Kristin learns about her history, a life she did not remember anything of, and finds herself in a love triangle. It was sweet and loving bringing people who meant a lot to her back into her life at a time when she felt very much alone. The steamy attraction had me sneaking in extra time to listen while the emotions kept me invested in Kristin being happy.

My Blood Runs Blue Series, Book 1
By: Stacy Eaton
Narrated by: Alex Black
I have to start by saying, I do not normally listen to paranormal books, but because I love Stacy Eaton’s writing, I thought I would take a chance. And I loved it! This different twist on the legends of vampires is enticing and had me at the first chapter. Kristen is a police officer who is investigating the murder of a local girl whose throat is ripped open. Never has she seen anything like this. Now approached by two men, who bear familiarity to her, she finds herself in a déjà vu love triangle. But does who does she choose, and why? This story has so much going on, I became engrossed in the details. Kristen is a wonderful character. I love strong women, and she is very independent. She is determined, and curious and proves to be a loyal and loving person. Julian and Alex are intriguing and their story is fascinating. The integration of vampires in our everyday life is melded in a believable way and lets us fall into the violence and romance of their world. I enjoyed this first book and am looking forward to where Eaton builds her vampire world.
Alex Black gives a good performance. He has a good pace and enjoyable voices, though at times it was hard to distinguish who was speaking. I enjoyed his ability to inflect suspense and have us on the edge of our seats. It is an enjoyable listen and I will be watching for the next installment.

Normally I do not read vampires’ books, but I decided to give this series a try…and WOW so glad that I did! So far I loved booked one! Murder, mystery, romance, and vampires all wrapped up in one book! Great read – loved characters, the chemistry and it was well written and easy to read! looking forward to reading the next book in the series!
I absolutely loved Stacy’s writing in this book! I was hooked within the 1st few pages! She really knows how to weave a story. I like how she builds up the characters so that you are invested in them until the end of the book, so much so that you don’t want the book to end!
Her writing is so good that you feel what the characters are feeling too. That is rare today.
a life not known but still there waiting
Overall 4 out of 5 stars
Performance 3 out of 5 stars
Story 4 out of 5 stars
You can find so much to enjoy with this one. It looks one way from the outside looking in. Then you get to the heart of the story. There are layers unexplored. Past, present, and the possible future will be touched by the simple act of one life taken too soon then re-born again. Kristin/Calista finds that life as she now knows it was not always the case. Past begins to encroach on here present. She finds that the life she thought she was living was only half of it all. She finds that she has lived before and that all the experiences come crashing back and a decision lays before her.

There are three men in this story. Each wanting Kristin for different reasons. One man life dulled by an act of betrayal. The other man life changed by an act of revenge. The other man just looking for a way out of the life he did not choose. There was much her to learn and consume. Watch as Kristin find out who she is now and who she was then.
I very much enjoy Stacy Eaton’s works. She gives me new details and more to experience. While Alex Black brings to life the voices of each character with clarity. I have enjoyed all of Alex narrations. This one was no different. Thank you for the vivid imagery created by his voice and Stacy’s words.
I’ve received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review – 4,5 Stars
Just any other day in the life of Kristin, a policewoman patrolling the streets of Fawn Hollow, until she is being called at one very strange homicide where a girl is found with her throat ripped out. Shocked and not understanding how this happened, she begins to dig for answers, but the more she digs, the more she finds herself thrown into a world of secrets.
This has been my first audiobook ever and I was impressed that I actually liked it and got myself lost while someone else was reading it for me. I always thought I might have issues listening to audiobooks, but nay, this one actually captivated me.
This one is an adult paranormal action/romance, with plenty of H.O.T moments and very steamy and very erotic. The book is narrated by Alex Black which did an amazing job differentiating the voices from female to male to another male character, even tho since I’m a beginner at this for some reasons I was expecting multiple voices for each character (I know, I know lol). At first, I had small issues getting into the book, not being able to concentrate but slowly I got sucked in and I would go 2 hours interrupted listening to the audiobook.
The audiobook got a really interesting story, vampires that blend so well between people that no one suspects they’re in fact vampires. Our main character – Kristin, apparently is also a vampire but has been raised as human (they kind of transform after some years into vampires – which I found intriguing). Her past contains many dark secrets, a love triangle between Julian and Alexander, and what she thought about the world she’s living in is about to change forever.
The book is pov’ed from multiple characters, at the beginning is only Kristin and Julien but then you also get Alexander’s pov which makes the book more interesting since they’re all 3 involved. However, I didn’t really like that somewhere in the middle the same events were pov’ed from both Julian and Kristin, I wish that would’ve been only from one side of the story because it can be a little bit confusing (but it’s not a turn off tho). There are some graphic scenes from death to sexual activities that in my opinion are veeeeeeery steamy and very hot. The book even listening to it developed in my mind just as I would read any other book. This was a really nice experience for my first audiobook.

Kristin is agood cop and love her job. But she feels as if something is missin in her life. When a young woman is brutally killed some pieces start to complete the puzzle of her past. Two handsome men, a brutal killer and a secret well hidden. Great paranormal mystery romance
Kristin has always felt like something is missing, and then when Julian arrives to help with an unusual case he arouses feelings she hasn’t felt in a long time. The more questions that she asks the more confuses she becomes.
I enjoyed the story bu I felt there was a lot of repetition as the same scene was played out from different viewpoints. There was also a huge amount of describing each person in the scenes.
Awesome Story & Start to a Fascinating Series
My Blood Runs Blue
My Blood Runs Blue Series, Book 1
By: Stacy Eaton
Narrated by: Alex Black
Wow, this book is awesome, the story grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it straight to the end. Stacy Eaton is a gifted author and it is great to see another side of her creative mind in this original story with her own unique take on paranormal and vampires. The characters are complex and well developed, I adored the leads, Kristin, Julian (Jules) & Alexander (Alex), they are likable and easy to connect with. Kristen is a ten year veteran in a small town Police Department in Pennsylvania. She loves the job and being a Police Officer. She works the pm shift, while on a meal break with her partner they get dispatched to an assault with injury job. Upon arriving at the scene they recognize the victim, a local girl named Dawn Taylor, losing too much blood she dies on the scene. Kristin must notify the family, things start to get a bit weird for her, she hears odd comments from the victims family. The next day she finds they brought in their own investigators, the VMF. Julian works for the VMF, the Vampire Military Force, which is run by (Master) Alexander. The WMF patrols their own breed and it is their job to go after rogue vampires. Julian heads to Eastern PA to help catch who is responsible for the brutal murders, he knows who is responsible. When he meets Kristin he is completely taken with her, he knows her from another life. I loved how everything plays out in this book, how Kristin deals with learning about things she never thought were real and finding out who she really is. This book is cleverly plotted and there is never a dull moment, there is plenty of drama, a bit of angst, some mystery, twists & turns, thrilling & suspenseful moments, heartfelt moments and a romance with a twist too. Stacy Eaton, thank you for this amazing story, I am looking forward to what happens next in this awesome series, I am love the imaginative and fascinating world and characters you created.
I listened to the Audible edition, Alex Black is a terrific narrator and voice artist. He does a great job portraying the characters, humanizing them, giving them their voices and personality. He sets the perfect tone for the story, captures the characters emotions and projects them into his performance. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the great listen
Action, romance, and suspense all in one great package. Officer Kristin Greene always felt something was missing. Her job with the Fawn Hollow Township Police Department keeps her busy and she soon finds herself investigating a very different homicide. As she begins to dig for the answers, she finds herself thrown into a world she didn’t know ever existed. When the two strong and silent men walk into her life, she finds herself being pulled into a love triangle that has been going on longer than she has been alive. Who are they and why do they keep calling her Calista? Julian and Alex both need her and both feel justified she is their answer. This stand alone is told from all viewpoints and a refreshing different vampire tale
Wow ! I didn’t know what to expect from this book because it’s different from all the other books I read from Stacy Eaton but wow; she got me hook ! Kristen is such a wonderful character; she’s strong and tough. What happens to her just made me want to read the whole book in one day ! This story is filled with complex emotions, steamy scenes and a heart torn between two wonderful men ! Alex and Julian swept me away !
