De: Tananarive Due

Narrado por: Patricia Floyd

Best-selling author Tananarive Due's novels about a colony of immortals have won widespread acclaim, including an American Book Award for The Living Blood. The story continues in Blood Colony.

Said to cure almost any illness, the new street drug Glow has attained almost mythical status in America. The key ingredient in Glow is the Living Blood, which courses through the veins of 17-year-old Washington state resident Fana Wolde.

Distrustful of her parents and eager to share her healing powers via an elaborate underground network, Fana sets out on her own. But what she doesn't know is she's being hunted by a mysterious and homicidal group with ties to the Vatican.

Another Awesome book

Loved the book but disliked the naration. The first two books were narrated by Peter Francis James and he did an awesome job. Patricia Floyd did a poor job, in my estimation, and that is why I gave only two stars for performance and four stars for overall. Would rather have listen to Mr. James again.

Fair

This book was fair. It wasn't as good as the first two in the series, but not terrible.

Wow

I'm still reading the series, but so far I'm blown away. Mrs Due is an artistic genius. I can't wait to get to the next book.

Great storyline

Loved it. Found myself rooting for Fana. The narrators really helped me live the moment.

wonderfully read

i tried something new and really enjoyed it. will buy the next one . can't wait

Great story telling

This story was the third in this authors series. I became attached to the characters, and their behaviors were able to cause me a range of emotions-- Fear, anguish, joy, and disappointment. This author uses words masterfully to engage the reader. Sometimes there seemed to be more description than needed. But the excitement and intrigue always returned quickly. A good read for SciFi lovers.

Not as good as the first two books

As I move on to the final book in the series I hope that it's stronger than this one. Maybe I just can't get with the whole rebellious teen theme?

slow start with great pick up and an okay ending.

The beginning was very slow. I almost passed on listening to it. This story started to pick up a few chapters in and it became very very very interesting. If you like the Supernatural mixed with a religious mixed with a coming-of-age of age tale, then this is the perfect book for you. The main character's give a young adult teenage vibe but throughout the book you will realize appearance and age are two different things. This book is great to listen to on long car rides ,working late at night, anytime really. This book thrives on its story of passion, excitement and finding out who people really are and who you are. I would recommend this book.

I liked it.

One review said it was a disappointment. I did NOT think so. The story is engaging, compelling, suspenseful. I didn’t like the reader. I thought the man from book was a better choice.

Narration?

I’m having a big problem engaging this book. The first two were so good. I think it may be that the new narrator introduces unfamiliar accents. All of the African accents are the same, so I don’t know who is speaking half the time. The introduction of the next generation doesn’t interest me much either.
