The Bloodline War

The Community Series, Volume 1

De: Tracy Tappan

Narrado por: Jeffrey Kafer

Winner of the Independent Book Awards Bronze Medal, The Bloodline War is the first sensational novel in the “wildly successful” (Readers’ Favorite) Community series....

With more than a thousand four- and five-star reviews on Goodreads!

The night just keeps getting more bizarre....

The murder is oddly bloodless. Called in to consult on the crime scene, Dr. Toni Parthen has no time to puzzle out that peculiarity. A black-clad man who seems more brutal creature than human being stalks out of the night and kidnaps her.

Imprisoned in a mysterious underground town, Toni is thrust into a realm beyond her understanding. These strange townspeople want her to do the unthinkable—breed with one of the men. No, thank you.

She incites a mutiny among the other abductees. But it’s no easy task to outwit the tight-lipped head of security, especially since Big, Dark, and Murderous is as emotionally scarred as she is...and she’s falling for the pain in the butt.

The leader of an elite squad of vampire warriors, Jacken Brun has an unholy side that boils just below the surface. He’s barely able to keep his sacred vow and push away the smart, sexy doctor he’s so inexplicably drawn to. Something about her is eerily different....

When it turns out her bloodlines hold the key to unimaginable power, two factions of malicious demons go to war over her, and Jacken will have to dig deep into his heart to find more than his skills as a warrior to save her....

absolutely amazing!

This book was perfect for me, great story, great charters, great world, great everything. This book is even bit as good as BDB or better. my heart actually sank when it ended because I didn't want it to be over I cannot wait for the rest of them to be on audible

next please!

the most disappointment I faced with this book was finding out that there was no second book

Loved this book and Jeffrey's voice wow.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Bloodline War to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version but I would assume it is as good as the audiobook

What other book might you compare The Bloodline War to and why?

JR Wards Black Dagger Brotherhood or Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter novels. They have a similar format. A community of "fanged people". Women, sometimes men in peril from their enemies and most importantly love.

What does Jeffrey Kafer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brings the Characters to life, his voice is pure sex! (Wasn't so fond of Kimberly's accent but then I know people who talk like that in real life, annoying but natural.)

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

As with many good books it made me both laugh and cry. Particularly the scene with Kimberly (I think) talking to her mate about suffering abuse.

Any additional comments?

I love this book and am now purchasing the series to read them all, Tracy has a unique voice in what could be argued as an overpopulated genre. Her characters are natural and her plot believable and not just the same old same old. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

If you're a fan of the BD Brotherhood, this one might work for you.

If you like the twists and turns of spicy heroines and their too tough to be loved Vampire lovers... This series will work. I would say it is very reminiscent of BD Brotherhood series in it's early days. Give it a run. It's worth a credit to try.

Loved it..

Wow! This is the most unusual vampire book I’ve ever read. They actually live underground and are called the Varcolac, that’s also the name of the caves where they live, and certain vampires have certain abilities. It’s a very different kind of vamp book.

I did like Jacken and Toni. As usual in romance books they did argue, all the while fighting their attraction. AND, to top it off, Jacken was the virgin, and had pledged a promise of celibacy to the head honcho, Roth and the doctor, Jess, because of him being half vamp and half demon. AND he was unable to EVER have sex with anyone he wasn’t bonded to. Jacken and Toni’s first time at sex was pretty funny. There were also a few LOL moments throughout the book. Overall, this was an exciting book and a really great romance.

I did really like the secondary characters: Beth and Arc, Kimberly and Sedge, Hannah and Willen, Ellen and Pedrr, Thomal, and Alex, Toni’s brother. There were some strange names going on here. Then there were the awful demons the Om Rau, with the man in charge being over 7 feet tall. And the way he was described he had to be really gross. Actually, all the demons from Otarat sounded pretty disgusting.

There was some explicit sex in this book, as well as swearing and the F-bomb was dropped 90 times. I don’t mind either one but I know a lot of you do, so you HAVE been warned.

As to the narration: Jeffery Kafer was good but I do wish he’d practice his female voices. They are still a little masculine. Actually, he does have a really sexy voice so that helps to overlook the females being a little un-feminine.

The Bloodline War......

Would you listen to The Bloodline War again? Why?

Yes! This book is original, fast paced, sexy, funny and just plain entertaining! I loved it! Read the book twice and have listened to it all week long.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Bloodline War?

The first claiming Jacken & Toni share was beyond hot!!! Omg, when she figures out its her fertal time and tries to run... damn ...***** fanning self*****

What does Jeffrey Kafer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I have listened to this book all week-long ....Jeffrey Kafer brings true grit and male sexiness to this fantastic story!!!! Mr Kafers deep voice, narrative timing and his ability to bring this book to life has me taking longer drives, longer baths, ignoring housework and my kids just so I can continue to enjoy this book!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

You're his, with just one bite!

Any additional comments?

With nail biting action, heart wrenchingly dark and seductive storyline, and heros and heroines to die for, you will be on the edge of your seat untill the last page. Be prepared to get your mind blown!

Lost Love?

(Disclaimer: I was given a copy of this audiobook to review from the author.)
Have you ever found something that you didn't know was missing? That's what you get with Tracy Tappan books! I had already read Beyond the call of Duty but this book a must for mystery readers. If you like a mystery within a mystery, paranormal, romance, great plot & characters; this is the book for you.
Strong female characters, agendas within agendas, infighting, betrayal, and romance. Add to that warriors from a lost race, kidnappings, enemies from a second unknown warrior race and you have an absolute hit. This series is off to a great start. I can listen to it again & again. I'm off to get the next book in the series.

wow! what a great new series!

This book has it all. great story line. plot is unique and we'll thought out. no cliff hangers just a thought toward next book. this book is truly going to be the start of a great new series. the main heroine's strength of character is refreshing and all the secondary characters as well. no simpering females in this book. all take their stance on right and wrong. hero's are hot, hot , hot!!! great sex, laugh out loud bantering and scenes from a bunch of alpha bachlors. what else can I say, book is a must read for anyone who likes a good storyline with all their steamy men : ) Narrator did an awesome job on keeping story moving along and his deep voice was perfect for these alpha males. inflection and timing was pure perfection. A must read rather credit or straight up buy. you won't regret it. can't wait for second installment. this series has the potential to be as good as black dagger brotherhood by JR Ward, and even lora leigh breed series. hope the Arthur takes this series and runs with it!!!

Narrator is awful.

Narrator can't do woman's voices or a British accent. I hope that he doesn't continue with this series.

The Bloodline War

The Bloodline War by Tracy Tappan was absolutely fabulous!
This book or audiobook, which is what I listened to, had great characters that you get caught up in wanting the story to go on it is just that good.
Jaken and Toni have a journey they must get through before they can get their HEA.
I wish I'd read or listened to this before now. You don't want to miss this one.
