The Blood Covenant

Medici Warrior, Book 1

By: Emily Bex

Narrated by: Paul Brion

When he met her, he knew how it would end.

Shade Medici, a warrior king and sole male heir to the dynasty, is expected to mate and produce an heir to secure the continuation of the Medici coven. He's waited over five hundred years for the right mate, and when he meets Kate Reese, his attraction is more than primal—it's merciless.

She's also mortal.

Kate is fresh off a broken engagement and reluctant to open her heart, but her hesitations are no match for the unrelenting pursuits of the vampire king. Their passion for each other is searing . . . and not everyone is happy about it. Namely the ruling Council.

As they fight against deceit, treachery, and those who aim to see their love fail, Shade also struggles to control his impulses as Kate is immersed into his dark and dangerous world, but it's imperative he prepare her for the changes that will be demanded of her should she choose to bind herself to him through the blood covenant. All that scorches and glitters isn't gold, and she quickly learns that falling in love with a vampire comes at a hefty price:

It may just cost her everything.

Contains mature themes.

FANTASTIC SERIES

loved this story.. I can't wait to read or listen to the others.. emily bex writing is addictive.

Boring narrator

He does a decent soft Italian accent, but how he portrays any female is almost unbearable with very little inflection that sounds real. That said, I think some, (small portion) can be attributed to the very formal “speak” that was written… combo made it hard to listen to.

Story itself is quite interesting and why I listened to the end.

Exciting story, Horrible narrator!

Good story line and good intrigue. Unfortunately, the narrator was horrible. Only because the story was so good did I continue listening.

Epic Book

This is a first for me. I love reading but because this is my favorite author I decided to try audio. I really enjoyed listening to this book. It is fantastic and I loved how the characters I came to love became more personal by listening instead of reading. I will always be a reader that's my escape, but I will not hesitate to do audio again if more of her books are available in audio.

amazing

❤❤❤❤❤ shade and kate . and i can not wait for the next book

I See HBO!

Loved this book. The love story was epic. the sorrowful parts deep, the sex scenes both sexy and romantic. I am an adult vampire fan. As much as I love Interview with a Vampire, Vampire Diaries, True Blood and to a certain extent, Twilight, I think this story of Vampire, romance, political intrigue.... this... THIS... would be a great ADULT Vampire series. HEY HBO...ARE YOU LISTENING? Vampire fans over the age of 50 would love this. I am sure there are many of us out here.

BORING NARRATION!!

I listen to the audible edition of The Blood Covenant. The narrator was extremely boring. The story was way to long for the content of the storyline. This story was in need of an editor to cut out all of the nonsense in the story. 700+ pages and 19 hours of audible should have been cut in half to 300 pages and 8 hours of audible. There are to many sex scenes. I felt like I was hearing Spanish with so many "Si" instead of the word "Yes" comments instead of listening to Italian. Every other word is "Si". I have just left vacationing in Mexico and Si means Yes.

The story has some potential and I will see if the second book in the series The Turning is better. The Blood Covenant was the authors first attempt of writing a Paranormal Romance. So I will give her a little more lead way.

can't stand narrator.

sounds like somebody reading instructions. the story is blah... only continued because I paid.
