Blood Born Vampire Linda Howard Linda Jones 9780345520760 Books

Blood Born by Linda Howard and Linda Jones is a great vampire paranormal romance. The plot was solid, there were tons of interesting characters in the large world that the authors created, and sweet romance along the way. Character’s actions always seemed believable and emotional reactions were never over dramatic just for the sake of being dramatic, which I really liked. Also, there were no deeply sadistic or overly gruesome scenes, also something I really liked about this book. Not that there wasn’t blood, or people getting killed, but the goriness wasn’t focused on.

The story opens by introducing us to many different characters, one or two at a time, and giving us a view of the world from their perspective, either human or vampire. The main thrust for at least the first 25% of the book is to show us the world that vampires live in, and the battle that some vampires are secretly waging in order to finally stop having to live in the shadows. We do meet the hero and heroine that the romance centers around, but it took me until the 25% mark to realize which characters the romance would be about. This isn’t bad by any means, this story just isn’t the typical incredibly graphic, hot and steamy romance of many vampire PNR’s.

Blood Born felt like a great paranormal adventure with some incredibly sweet, and at times, briefly steamy romance thrown in. The vampires don’t have human emotions and struggle to understand why they should care about them, and this includes even the vampires that don’t want to come out of the shadows and try to dominate humans. So when the vampires do start to feel things for this or that human, it leaves them mystified, which of course leads to poignant things happening.

There are so many interesting characters created in this first novel that you’ll be rooting for not only the main couple but for others to find or acknowledge their feelings as well. I really enjoyed this book and hope there are, or will be, more novels.

Blood Born Vampire Linda Howard Linda Jones 9780345520760 Books Reviews

I really missed some good dialogue between the h/h. Smart, snappy dialogue and interaction is what Linda Howard excels at, and what was here was really good, but there was little of it. Chloe is funny, smart and out-spoken, which could have made for some great stuff between her and the dour, cynical Luca. When she absentmindedly punched him in the stomach and totally missed his stunned reaction, that was classic LH. Please..more of that!

There was repetition that bugged me as it seemed to a lot of others, too. I was like "Okay, I get it". Things like that are always distracting and take me out of the story.

On the plus side, it was a new world. Spirit warriors and conduits are a cool thing. The characters that are on the canvas are really good. Luca, Chloe and Sorin are well-developed and interesting, and make me want to follow the story more.

All in all, I think it's a good start and I'm looking forward to the next one.
OK...since all the teen vamp rage, I've been a bit put off by vampire books....go figure. My (middle aged) sister talked me into this book and now I can't wait for the next book due in the spring.
Linda Howard has always been a favorite author with her sassy dialogue and hints of humor from time to time besides just spinning a good tale. Add that to the fact this book adds some new twists to the whole vampire world and how it relates to humans.

Blood Born tells the tale of humans and their warrior ancestors, with the help of a few vampires who like the status quo, and how they defeat the first attempt at a "take over" by a vampire queen with the goal of enslaving the human race. No one is immune from her wrath and as a result the heroine is faced with a dire choice. She chooses life but at a cost.

If you like adult vampire books this is a good read.
I enjoyed this one. What I'm not excited about is that I have to wait a full year and a few months to read the next book in the series.

Lucas Ambrus is blessed and cursed. People forget who he is the minute they're not looking at him. It's helpful being a vampire, but unless you're the strongest of the strong vampires you won't remember him. It's difficult for him to have any connections with vampires or people.

Chloe Fallon is a conduit. There's a war brewing and her warrior is trying to come through to stop it. As more and more warriors are trying to get through the rebel vampires are taking the conduits out before they can enter this world.

Lucas happens to stumble upon Chloe as one of the rebels is trying to kill her and he saves her. What he doesn't understand is why Chloe is different and can remember him. While Lucas is trying to stop the war he also needs to protect Chloe.

There were a lot of character dynamics in this novel. There were a lot of characters I'd like to learn more about and a few characters that were cut short that I feel like I'll miss. It kept me entertained and wanting to read more and more. I didn't want to put this one down.

I was a bit disappointed at the end as it just sort of ended but I think it was mainly to setup the beginning of book two. Still, I wish it had a little more of a conclusion.
I absolutely LOVED this book! The story focuses on Chloe, a conduit who needs to call her ancestor forward for a coming vampire war, and Luca a vampire who was born and not made. Luca serves the vampire council as an enforcer and protector (when needed). Luca pays a visit to the council when a friend of his is murdered. While investigating the murder, he encounters Chloe. Luca has a power (or gift?) of being instantly forgotten as soon as a person turns away from him but Chloe remembers him which causes him to become intrigued with her. While he's trying to figure out why she remembers him, he becomes aware that her life is in danger from other vampires and realizes that he wants to protect her.

This was the best book. Even though I suspected how it would turn out (I read a lot of paranormal romance), there were lots of interesting plot twists and turns. Even though the main story is about Chloe and Luca, there are other interesting characters and some of their stories are told in the 2nd book (which I blazed through as well).
