Gilded Blood

The Complete Series Collection

De: Rachel Rener

Narrado por: Tara Novie, Logan McAllister

Books 1-4 of the Gilded Blood series.

Inked, book one:

When Zayn, my smoking hot boss, told me to never touch the cache of deluxe tattoo ink locked away in his office, I listened… until I ran out of my own ink. I expected Zayn to yell at me when he returned to the shop. I didn't expect the fresh cobra tattoo on my client's butt to magically spring to life. Or an interdimensional filing cabinet hiding in the back of Zayn's office. Did I mention that my gorgeous, magic-ink-hoarding boss is actually an incubus?

Now, we have to venture into a strange and distant land where a never-ending list of lethal flora, fauna, and fae await us. Add in my mother's string of poorly timed, hysterical phone calls and there is one thing I'm grateful for: there's no cell service in the fae realm.

Jinxed, book two:

Things could be worse. My mom's been harboring some hefty family secrets. Big deal. Maybe there are still some teeny details about Zayn that I don't know. Let's not forget the bloodthirsty magical mob boss due to appear at any moment. No biggie.

So long as there are no more family bombshells, incubus-related heartbreaks, or unexpected, terrifying journeys into the Fae Realm, I'll be completely fine. Because, as I've already reminded myself at least twelve times since breakfast, there's no way things could get worse. Right?

Linked, book three:

A lot can change in a week. Seven days ago, I was just Talia—an art school dropout with an affinity for tattoos, a hopeless crush on my boss, and a knack for finding trouble. Now, I'm a Runemaster in training.

Instead of sweeping floors, I'm sweeping swarms of venomous squatters out of castles. I've been enrolled in accelerated, hands-on rune lessons. Oh, and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my incu-boss's upgraded benefits "package."

Sadly, promotions aren't just about perks. There are increased responsibilities as well: amassing a magical army alongside the newfound fae king, repairing centuries-old divisions among the Seelies and Unseelies, and vanquishing a completely unhinged demon lord.

But hey, when you're the most coveted tattoo artist in two realms, it's all in a day's work.

Synced, book four:

War is coming—and this time, I swear it's not my fault.

Sol and his reanimated Unseelie army are hell-bent on destroying the Seelies once and for all. Worse, he's stolen the most priceless relic in this land—Zayn's grimoire—along with my magic-unleashing gilded blood. Oh yeah, and Sol's claim is slowly killing me.

Not all hope is lost. I somehow led the elves through the mountain, arriving at the Summer Palace in one battered, weary piece. Bonus points: I've expanded our army by two hundred soldiers—never mind the fact they're completely untrained, three-foot-tall tommyknockers.

While Zayn was busy prepping the castle for battle, my loud-mouthed Jewish mother gained the support of our equally shrill family members. Unfortunately, banshees have the power to predict the future, and our outlook isn't looking so good.

The only way we'll survive the impending war is by finding some mysterious ally in the most inhospitable, remote corner of the Fae Realm: a ghost from Zayn's past who will either help lead the Seelies to salvation… or doom us all.

A great find

This series is one of the best I have found. First off Tara is so good. Her reading this book was so amazing. The series is by far one of the best I have heard/read. The ups and downs, all the emotions and details. I hope one day a movie will be made out of this.

100% love

I love all the characters, the narrators, the storyline, the world building, everything!!!! I stumbled on this 4-pack deal and I’m so glad I chanced it.

Omg I loveee this story!

Everyone needs to add this book to their tbr list! I have it on here, kindle and I got the special edition of it. Tbh I bought the special edition for the aesthetic but stayed for the story, had no idea what I was getting into with it and I loved every second!

Whew that was an emotional roller coaster.

Absolutely obsessed with this series! Listen to it all on just a few days. I couldn’t stop. I needed to read it all as fast as possible. Now I regret I didn’t take my time! 😭😭😭 will never be able to read it for the first time again. The last book is filled with a lot of trauma haha but hang on tight because it is all worth it. The ending is so beautiful and forth all the tears.

AMAZING

Been wanting to order this collection forever.. so glad I listened to it. Incredible and hilarious. Amazing series.

Almond?

This is a fun series! My favorite character is, of course, Biscuit. Thank you so much for bringing these characters to life.

annoying fmc at times, but fun story

Talia doesn't make the best of choices in the first book, but gets better! The audio is hard to listen to at times because she makes Talia sound so whiny or talks so quietly at times I would have to crank the volume which would then blast through my ears when she went back to a normal volume. I prefer the books for the story!

Delightfully funny and magical

it took me a while to warm up to the dramatic reading of the narrator, but I especially came to love the different voices she does especially the parrot 🦜☺️❤️. The story was great and had a lot of nostalgic elements for readers who are fans of the classics like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. I love the overprotective Jewish mom too!

This whole series has been such a fun melting pot of 'creatures'! I'm going to struggle with deciding what to read next

Inked
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Whewww, I can't believe it took me so long to start this one, I have no excuse. Sorry.
Can't wait to learn more about Talia and Zayn (good thing I have the Omnibus audiobook!)

Jinxed
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Momentum slowed a bit from Inked but still rounded off nicely.
Will be continuing to find out what happens next for Talia and Zayn!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Action packed, continuation of Gilded Blood series. With character growth and world expansion.
Excited to see how this story ends up!

Synced
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow, this one in particular was quite the roller coaster with heavy artillery damage.

Maybe the Perfect Series

Rachel is just such a smart, thoughtful, thorough writer. Her attention to detail in character development and world building is second to none. The narration was pretty good. There were a couple words that drove me batty, but that’s my own issue! 😂
