Linde. A unique take on vampires and a paranormal romance, this book sets the scene for action, mystery, excitement, romance, and steam, and I was hooked from the start!<\/p>\n<p><i>Blood Type<\/i> is set in a world where humans and vampires live among one another. In the past, vampires would feed on anyone. They were ruthless and savage and every human was in extreme danger. Then vampires learned that drinking blood from humans that share their same blood type makes them clear minded and less blood crazed. Visage was created to match vampires with humans who share the same blood type so that they can live in harmony.<\/p>\n<p>Reyna is a human stuck below the poverty line, living with her two brothers and barely making ends meet. Her only chance of helping her brothers afford the necessities in life is to work at Visage. Though it is the last thing she wants to do, she doesn\u2019t have a choice if she wants to help her family.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Visage primarily specialized in what they called body employment services. Reyna had always thought that was a fancy term for blood escorts. Whatever people wanted to call them\u2014blood escort or bodily employment\u2014they were just depressing terms for people desperate to get by in this terrible economy.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When Reyna accepts a job at Visage she is placed with a vampire indefinitely. She doesn\u2019t know what to expect and she definitely isn\u2019t prepared for Beckham, the vampire they choose for her.<\/p>\n<p>I loved <i>Blood Type<\/i>! The storyline and characters are imaginative, interesting, entertaining, and original. It\u2019s also tantalizing, suspenseful and frightening, and I couldn\u2019t get enough. I was completely and utterly addicted and invested in Reyna and Beckham\u2019s lives and this world Linde created.<\/p>\n<p>Reyna is sassy, fierce, and brave. She has such a good heart and wants nothing but to help her bothers who mean everything to her and who have been working overtime trying to provide for her and themselves. She doesn\u2019t hide her emotions and she tells it as it is.\u00a0She has a natural curiosity and I wanted to discover all the secrets right alongside her.<\/p>\n<p>Beckham is powerful, domineering, broody, and wealthy. He is a bad ass alpha that is a complete mystery for so many reasons. He doesn\u2019t open up to people easily, especially Reyna, and it makes him even more intriguing because you can feel a connection between them.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Beckham was not a shining prince on a white horse riding in to save her. The world they lived in was not a peaceful kingdom where all worries disappeared. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Beckham can be a total asshole and I was so upset and frustrated with some of his actions but OMG, I couldn\u2019t help but love him. And when he shows Reyna the side he hides from everyone else, I melted. He is so swoony and sweet.\u00a0Everything makes sense when things are revealed and I loved him even more when he lets Reyna in.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the story I was rooting for Beckham and Reyna because they are just so good together. Talk about electric chemistry. The sexual tension is off the charts and their connection is intense. I felt the desire, lust, and attraction pulsating from them.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>She craved him like an addict craved the next hit. She didn\u2019t know what he did to her, but when they got like this, she didn\u2019t care. It didn\u2019t matter how infuriating he was, she was caught up in the whirlwind of their desire. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As the story unfolds more questions start forming. Twist and turns will send your heart into a frenzy. It\u2019s angsty, emotional, and thrilling. And the cliffy at the end will have you desperate for the next book!! I loved <em>Blood Type<\/em>\u00a0and cannot wait for <em>Blood Match<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>The Blood Type Series<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div data-post-id=\"32412\"
