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.

Good story, bad narration

The entire Immortals collection is amazing, Ms Due is an amazing storyteller.

The narrator was just really bad - accents, inflections, fevers tone was all just a bit flat to me. If you can look past that, the story is a good part of the series.

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.

The story continues

Yet another fantastic entry in the African Immortals series by Tananarive Due. This installment ups the stakes with new characters, threats to, and promises for the future. We get heartbreaking losses, and the renewal of faith and hope. I will say no more other than, you need to be reading this series of books.

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.
