Blood Curse #6
Blood Father
Kagen Silivasi is a powerful ancient vampire with a unique gift for healing – he is also a son, a brother, and a loner who has survived unspeakable tragedy and loss: Beneath his handsome, well-mannered exterior lies an alter ego consumed by rage and an undefinable impulse to “kill them all...”
Arielle Nightsong is a brave human, a rebel spirit, and an accomplished healer in her own right. Born into a harsh world of violence, cruelty, and danger, she was enslaved at the age of ten and given as a gift to the most depraved being in Mhier – the infamous king of the Lycan. If not for her enduring friendship with a captive vampire, she might not have survived to escape the slave encampment…or to discover her ominous role in an ancient Blood Curse.
When Kagen and his brothers journey into Mhier in search of their long lost father, it will take more than stealth and cunning to get out alive: Secrets will be revealed; loyalties will be tested; and long-standing defenses will fracture beneath the weight of an impossible choice...
Blood Father ~ where destiny and duty collide.

The thing about Paranormal Romance is that you pretty much expect to have the romance as the main show, with the world as the side-order. But, these books aren't like that at all (maybe the first one, a bit). Instead, we have all of this crazy, bloody action and excitement going on while there is a side romance. And, I really like this set-up.
But, in the past books, our heroines have been a little one-dimensional. They are almost like pod people who just fell from the sky. They seem to have little back-story and hardly any connections from their old life. This was especially the case with Deanna in the last book, who came from New Orleans. Aaand, that's about all we know about Deanna. The other characters describe her "exotic" beauty and guess different ancestral backgrounds, but we never hear anything about her actual parents or ancestors. She also never speaks of friends, family, a job, her apartment, her summer vacation to Disneyworld. Nothing! She just popped up into existence for her book.
Luckily, that is not the case in this book. We get a heroine who has an entire backstory! Arielle is a human that was a slave, then part of the rebellion group that is working against the shapeshifters that rule her world. She lives in a different dimension, called Mhier, and it sounds pretty horrible. Of course, Tessa Dawn writes horrible, brutal, and bloody really well, so it's actually awesome!
When our vampire brothers find out that their father has been enslaved in Mhier for hundreds of years, they open a portal to get in there and try and rescue him. It's going to be dangerous. They will encounter werewolves who can tear them limb from limb. Their chances of survival are slim. They will have to fight and kill. Oh, shit, and there are some big-ass spiders! Man-sized, killer spiders! Nobody told them to expect that!!
Nachari after a spider "incident": "I can do demons and dark vampires - and even lycans if I have to... but I don't do spiders. I just...don't"
I hear ya, Mr. Strong and Mighty Vampire Wizard. I'm not a fan of the spiders myself.
So, Arielle is close with the vampire dad. She meets up with the sons as they enter her world and she agrees to help them rescue him. Of course, the only single guy left, Kagen, sees her and has to have some of that. Slave-Daddy is not seeming so important now that he has met the hot native chick.
Yes, you really need a tic tac
This story was as brutal and bloody as the rest, but I liked the romance part of it a little more than the previous books. I liked getting to know the female better and having things build up a little more slowly. It wasn't as wham-bam-thank you, ma'am as the earlier books.
But, the other thing that Tessa Dare does with these books (aside from scaring the crap out of me with her "hell book" earlier) is to give us epilogues at the end of each story that starts the next book. It is like giving us a first taste of crack or something. I can't just read the epilogue and move on with my life. I MUST read the next book! Now!

I thought I was ready....
Little did I know there was nothing that could've prepared me for this story. I've waited with anticipation for this book since the moment I met Kagen Silivasi in Blood Destiny. I felt a connection to him and as the series progressed so did that connection. So when the moment came that we found out just what changed Kagen's life the breath was knocked out of me. I felt the crack in my heart and yelled at the words on the page as I cried. I felt every emotion play out as I read through the pages of Blood Father, the intense hatred, the overwhelming fear of loss and the soul lifting feelings of love. This book has it all. As anyone that has journeyed through the pages of Dark Moon Vale you know these stories are not for the faint of heart, Blood Father is definitely no exception to that. It's dark, violent, gut-wrenching and intense. But, as only Tessa can do, she weaves humor and light through those dark times too. So much so I found myself laughing out loud while shaking my head. And there is a scene that is one of the most poignantly beautiful moments I have ever read on a page. To say the story and author are brilliant doesn't really do either justice in my opinion. From the credits to the very last word I was 100% invested, yes, it really is that good.
There are many amazing reviews that tell you the story, give you a synopsis of the plot and characters, I can't write that kind of review, I truly believe that you as the reader should experience this book (and the entire series) for yourself. Tessa Dawn is such an incredibly gifted story teller you will not want to leave Dark Moon Vale.
Did it meet my expectations after waiting for so long ?, Not only did it meet my expectations, Blood Father blew them out of the water. I knew it would mean something to me to read this book, in the end, it meant everything. Thank you Tessa for delivering one of the most amazing books I have ever read.

I don't know if it is because we already know in depth all characters by now that this book was so wonderful and emotional or if it was simply a wonderful plot. But wonderful it was.
Anyhow, Arielle is for sure my favorite heroine in this series so far. How sweet she turn out to be in a world so dark is an incredible feat. And to have such a pure soul? Boggles my mind. She is so bright and beautiful and good and just pure. I loved seeing her interaction with the father of her heart. This book was very emotional and I loved it.
This one was packed with lots of action, lots of big decisions, lots of blood, and again, lots of emotions. This one was just great!
PS: it was super nice that all brothers went on a mission together and we got to spend time with them all.

I am in awe of Tessa Dawns writing skills. She is a masterful story teller. A Bard or Seanache or Raconteur would easily fit Author Tessa Dawn.
This Dark Fantasy book is so well written it leaves the reader in a Jumble Of Feelings. Thoughts all woven together. Feeling so overwhelmed and lost as the story is done. You have no idea what to do, say, think, feel.
So here I am the day after finishing this book, and all I want to do is re-read this wonderful story. Yet trying to write a review. Expressing myself, trying to put the words together as to make a coherent review.
Yet I am stumped. I am not an Author, I don't know how to put words together so that they make you feel such strong emotions as to why you should get this book or start this series. I can only try as a reader to get all this across.
I came across this Author and Book 1 when it was first published. This was so not my usual genre. I was thinking okay another Vampire Book. I will give it a try as it sounded different, from such an overly populated subject.
Was I ever glad I did! Despite the very graphic scenes I was hooked. I will tell you this I turned on every light in the house , made sure all doors and windows were locked. Didn't go out after dark for a very long time!!
Book 2 came out. I had liked her Author Page and clicked on release notice, as well as liked her on Goodreads. I was in awe, this author was not a 1 hit wonder. Her characters were so well rounded, the plots so well laid out, and all that hotness from the males!! The women were strong & independent. Not the wishy washy insecure females that so many others seem to write about. You will need a strong constitution, to read these books. Very Graphic in all ways, not for anyone just wanting a Love Story, G or PG or R. Rating.
I became a devote Tessa Dawn follower. As each of her books came out I was right there in front of the line!
Now we are at Book 6 "Blood Father" in the Blood Curse Series.
There are so many reviews giving you everything about this book.
I can not be one of them. This book is a roller-coaster of emotions of epic proportions. See beginning of review, I wrote that, right after reading this book. If you are looking for a story that will take you in and not let you go till finished the story, this is not this book for you. "Wait,What, Why??" This story stays with you even after you have read it. If you are going to read it till bedtime, you will dream about this book and all the characters. Waving hands in air wildly!!
To bring this review full circle. A Master Story Teller. A different take on Vampires, Hot Males, Strong Women. Plots so amazing that they stay with you long after you finish reading the book. I Highly Recommend this Book, "Blood Father"

Over the last 2 days I have tried to write a review worthy of this novel. I've read each book in the Blood Curse series, a couple of them TWICE, and even with my love of Blood Destiny and Blood Shadows, while I have connected to all of the books in some way, none were as intense as Blood Father. This book, this novel, this story...everything...was simply brilliant. There is a shared sense of longing, brotherhood, loyalty and strength among the men of the House of Jadon, particularly with the Silivasi brothers. Until now, I had no understanding of the added pain and angst experienced by Kagen.
It is Tessa Dawn's ability to show those emotions and make the reader feel them that makes Blood Father such an amazing novel! Kagen's journey, both the internal and the external journey with his brother's, is very similar to the conflicts that many of us have experienced. But imagine carrying that conflict for centuries. Imagine carrying it with no true understanding of why it's happening. THAT is the brilliance of Tessa Dawn. The ability to humanize these powerful men, these...vampires...is what makes this series such a delight to read. While each story is a struggle to overcome an Ancient Curse, while each tale involves love, desire, conflict, action and humor...there's that piece of humanity dangling in front of us that helps us identify with each character.
I connected with Kagen and Arielle Nightsong in a much different way than the others. There were moments when I laughed...literally out loud! There were moments when I wished for someone to...well...get what they truly deserved. And there were moments when tears welled and I cheered. That's the ride you take with a Blood Curse novel. And with Blood Father...you will absolutely want to buckle up!
Set some time aside for this one! You will not want to put it down!

How do you pick a favorite when every book in this series is amazing........I definitely cried more while reading this one, but love them all!

Blood Father is the epic story of the Blood Curse Series. 480 years have gone by since the Silvasi brothers experienced tragedy like no other, losing both their beloved parents to the Lycans, the vampires biggest enemies. Not until Saber enters the house of Jadon does the most important information the SIlvasi brothers will ever hear come to light, that their father was taken prisoner by the Lycans 480 years ago…Coming together for the most epic mission in their lives, the Silvasi brothers must muster the strength and courage to try to rescue their father. Filled with chaos, emotion, love, and of course a blood moon, Blood father takes you into the soul of Kagen, the master healer who has been a mystery to us all, the bond of a family, giving you a much needed in-depth look at the dynamics of the Silvasi brothers connection, and into the life of a slave turned warrior, a woman whose courage and heart has stolen the love of a father she never thought she could have. Tessa Dawn once again straps you into an emotional rollercoaster, taking you loop for loop through heart ache, pain, fear, and joy that could only be deserving of the purest souls. This page turning novel will have you wanting to laugh, cry, and even put the book down, which I had to do countless times, just to remember to breathe while riding along with the Silvasi borthes through the most critical, dangerous, and rewarding mission of their lives.

“May the rivers run crimson with their blood”
Blood Father Book #6 of Tessa Dawn’s fabulous Blood Curse series
This was the most anticipated book release. What did it mean “Blood Father”, and the one line in this epic read “May the rivers run crimson with their blood” literally set the entire stage for this book. This one line when I read it in a teaser gave me the goose bumps and stole my breath. I could only imagine what it meant.
This read is Kagen Silvasi and Arielle Nightsong’s book. But there is a little surprise with their story. A lot was explained or revealed and the puzzle pieces fell into place.
When Blood Father begins it’s with the Silvasi brothers gathering for a meeting called by Saber Alexiares and his destined one Vanya Demir. You will remember Saber from Blood Redemption. Raised as Saber Alexiares of the House of Jaeger “The Dark Ones.” Born Sabino Dzuna of the House of Jadon and taken from his parents as a newborn, has been trying to redeem himself and adjust to the House of Jadon as best he can. So when he meets with the Silvasi brothers it’s to give them a piece of information he remembers while he was in the House of Jaeger. This only came to fruition when Vanya was telling Saber of her dream about a dragon that burns her but she can’t stay away. She feels in her dream and I quote “he is guarding something so precious, so valuable to the house of Jadon. A Treasure. One that had to be returned to the people” unquote. Saber tells the Silvasi’s about a ledger he had been keeping of the Dark Ones taken by the Lycanthrope and were presumed dead. He also told them of another dimension where the Lycan lived. A realm parallel to theirs. In a footnote of one of the entries it mentioned a name of a vampire, a slave still living in Mhier. So when Saber told them it was their father Keitaro Silvasi’s name he read, the information he revealed was earth shattering and puts the brothers in an emotional tailspin not to mention just plain shock. For 480 years the Silvasi’s assumed their father dead and to hear he could still be alive shook them to their core.
And so the tale begins. Arielle Nightsong a Rebel Warrior/healer an escaped slave from the throngs of an evil, wicked, sadistic King Thane who was totally obsessed with the fiery redhead and vowed to make her his wife and her life a living hell. How she would sneak back into the King’s territory to the slave hut where Keitaro Silvasi was kept, drugged and starved to clean him up and use her herbs to heal him the best she could after he fought in the arena. She was the daughter of his heart, and he the father of her heart. To Nachari researching and using his magic to open a portal to Mhier to rescue their father. To the Blood Moon and celestial constellation Aurgia the Charioteer, Kagen Silvasi’s ruling blood moon that appeared after the Silvasi’s had entered the portal into the realm of Mhier, and Napolean trying to telepathically contact Kagen to no avail. To the undeniable attraction and protectiveness Kagen has towards Arielle. She is his destined one but in Mhier the mark would not show up confusing him. To the trigger that takes Kagen back in his mind to the horrible night he saw his father taken by the Lycan and the series of events that followed. This was really tough to read but you finally understood what was going on with Kagen. Blood Curse is a must have/must read series and you really want to read the previous stories before you dive into Blood Father. You will not be disappointed. Each read is a page turner and a can’t put down book. Blood Father I believe is my new favorite of the Blood Curse series and I totally fell in love with Kagen. On a side note when will Saber put on his ring, or will he.

Each read is a page turner and a can’t put down book. Blood Father I believe is my new favorite of the Blood Curse series and I totally fell in love with Kagen. On a side note when will Saber put on his ring, or will he.

Whoa! This was awesome!!!!
And what to say about the star of this book? Kagen?
This male had me in a constant state of want, need, lust, compassion, passion, all of it. I want to have his babies. Yes I do.
And I can't lie here, I have a MAJOR just flat out "You are wrong for feeling this way" crush, on Daddy Keitaro He just has me like...
The stakes are so high in this one. From loyalty to love. Hate and fear. Happiness and sorrow. There are a lot of heartbreaking & beyond loving scenes here. There is the gory, just flat out barbaric battles as well, but I think it was greatly balanced alongside the Bro-mance with our Silivasi brothers & Kagen & Arielle Just loved it all. From beginning, middle, to end. No complaints here.
READ THIS SERIES PEOPLE!
And start at the beginning.
I wonder when book 7 will be here, If that Epilogue is anything to go by, it's going to be interesting to say the least. In any case, I am left in mourning. I'm glad I'm caught up with this series, but I can't wait to be able to dive back into it. It's been a crazy, but lovely ride.
Thanks Valls, for doing this series book read with me. And Thank you Carrie for holding our hands! (HUGS)

I have read all the books in the Blood Curse series. I greatly enjoyed the first one “Blood Awakening”. Each book has gotten better and better and has just drawn me further into this unique world Ms. Dawn has created of the Dark Moon Vale. The books could be a standalone read but you get more out it by reading the series in order.
These books are exciting, and are what is referred to as a dark vampire paranormal book, I prefer to call it realistic paranormal. Everything feels real because Ms. Dawn does not hold back. Her books are packed with action, adventure, violence, seduction, romance and very engaging people. The people, weather good or evil, are each individuals to include how they walk, behave and speak. I like the way she lets us peek into their minds and lets us know why a character acts a particular way, even if the individual is acting like a jerk.
“BLOOD FATHER” included all of the above then went beyond. It is now my favorite in the series. This story grabbed my attention from the get go. It started with a tense atmosphere that I could feel and just grew from there. I laughed, cried a lot (sad and happy tears), felt joy, anger, and fell in love.
I really liked the vampire Kagen. He is a strong old world alpha male that lives by a strict code but who can also be sensitive, kind, caring and loving. And Arielle is a strong and capable heroine who is no door mat. She has many sides to her personality. One of the things that makes Blood Father stand out is there is more than one hero, so you have your pick. Another thing is the believable imagery in the worlds she creates. This story grabs a hold of you and does not let go to the end. And then Ms. Dawn teases us in the epilogue for the next book in the series. Although Blood Father is a complete read, Ms. Dawn leaves you (ME) wanting more. Thank you Ms. Dawn for writing such an amazing tail.

Too tired to write a really good review that this book deserves but I love this series but it is not for the faint of heart. Brutal, romantic, action, even a small bit of humor at times but great stories but you have to read them in order to really appreciate this series.
March 2, 2015
I am on the edge of my seat waiting on this book to come out! Come on June 12th! The Blood Curse is an amazing series!!!
June 13, 2014
another wonderful read by Tessa Dawn
November 21, 2014
Kagen and his brothers go on a life-threatening mission, into another world, to save a loved one and face uncertain circumstances.
In this story, the camaraderie, loyalty and fierce conviction of the Silivasi brothers continue. It was great to be in their world again and with the addition of a brave heroine for Kagen.
Kagen, who harbors a deep pain and acute loss, has a significant backstory that beautifully unfolds the key to why he is a determined healer and why he can turn lethal at unexpected turns.
I liked Kagen in all his modes: avenger, alpha, tempest, lover, healer, brother, warrior and son. Also, his heroine, Arielle, had a lot in common with him. She and Kagen have great moments, one of which solidifies Arielle's trust in Kagen in a way that I can only describe as profoundly human.
By this sixth story in the series, I've become quite used to the world of Dark Moon Vale, the battle between good and evil vampire, the unrelenting need for destiny and the tantalizing drop of romance that the author puts in that always seem minimal, but I anticipate it at the same time.
This one acts as a bit of a transition book, which focuses on a different enemy, a different world, while redefining characters and opening pathways for future stories, though the groundwork for these things have definitely been laid out since the first book anyway.
I shall read on.

REVIEW: TESSA DAWN'S BLOOD FATHER (BLOOD CURSE SERIES,#6)
Rating: 5 Hearts
OMG! What an Emotional Rollercoaster Ride! I went from laughing, to crying, to rooting for their desired outcome to happen, and then just when I thought I had my emotions in check, I went through them again and again. I almost devoured this sixth installment in one sitting. I could not put it down.
Miss Dawn has an extremely talented gift for writing, when she puts pen to paper, it turns out to be a well wriiten, dark adventure of intensity that will leave you breathless and wanting more. I LOVE THIS SERIES!!
The characters are so well developed that I have fallen for them ALL hook, line, and sinker. They are not your sparkly vampires either. Their back stories are written with raw emotion, I like that in a book, it grabbed me from page one and kept me riveted to wherever I was sitting.
The world? WOW! Dark and Fantastical, Vampiric in nature, and full twists and turns that will blow your mind as well as touch your heart.
If you Love an action-packed, steamy, dark fantasy, vampiric paranormal romance, look no further, this series has it all.

Book 2 - Blood Awakening
Book 3 - Blood Possession

The Absolute BEST of Tessa Dawn ..Dark Fantasy/ Gothic Romance at its absolute best.,
This review is from: Blood Father (Blood Curse Series Book 6) (Kindle Edition)
Blood Father is now officially my favorite book in what has been my favorite series since I picked up Tessas first book Blood Destiny. BLOOD FATHER is filled with so many different emotions it's amazing, you or at least I Laughed, actually cried, I even cringed a bit but most of all I got to read a book that really pulled me in and didn't let me go till the last page and even then you get pulled right back in. I am not going into detail on the story line because I would probably give away the best parts but I will say you see all the Silivasi brothers in action and meet another member of the family .......and you absolutely will not be disappointed, this book ROCKS .....as always Tessa AWESOME BOOK I WANT MORE PLEASE........

Tessa has done it again. This book is an excellent addition to the Blood Curse series. As soon as I started reading I couldnt put this book down. This series just consumes me while reading. I was aniticipating Kagens story and couldnt wait to see who his destiny was. I think she picked the perfect destiny for him. I think Kagen and Arielle are a perfect match and I enjoyed watching thier story unfold. At times I found myself laughing and crying. I couldnt stop laughing about Narcarhi and the spiders, in fact i still find myself giggling. I never thought we would see the day when thier father returned. The end of this book was the most touching I have probably ever read. What a fantastic book and I cant wait to see whats next. If you have read all the others, make sure you pick up this one as well. you defintley will not be dissapointed.

As always Tessa delivers in the most recent installment in the Blood Curse series. I cannot believe the depth of texture her characters display on the page. Kaegan and his brother's quest to find their lost father and how the intertwines with not only his Blood Curse but his inner struggles is a rapid paced, page turning journey, that leaves the reader salivating. I love the humor, dialogue, the emotion, and yes even the violence the vampires display in Tessa's novels. Its so real you feel you know the brothers and their destinies, and I eat up each new book after every release.

This one is the best story line in the series so far, well for me anyway.
About parallel universe, if you read fantasyland series by KA, you will know what I mean.
Our Silivasi brothers, just found out from Saber, you know the ex Dark One:) that their dad probably still alive in a different realm, where evil Lycan in charge and human are their slaves.
So the story about how to go there and rescue their father and return alive.
The romance also very sweet here:)
But don't worry still brutal, full of blood and gory, that battle in the arena? *gulp*

Really great story. Loved both Kagen and Arielle. (I do love saber more though, just saying - there is just something exciting about the Anti-heros that gets me!) This one had a great story - emotional, very interesting, brutal, dark, basically everything you can expect from Tessa's books!
Nowww to the goood part, I can NOT WAIT till the next book! But I do have questions on the Moon part. I thought they both knew each other already? Omg i just know its going to be good, he is soo Alpha!

I laughed, I cried, I tried to read as fast as I could to find out what would happen next only to try and slow down because I didn't want it to be over too soon. Kagen and Arielle's story is so touching. You will not be disappointed! I suggest you hang a Do Not Disturb sign out when you read this!! Tessa is definitely the Queen of Dark Fantasy!!! You have earned your crown milady!!

new adventure for the not only the house of jadon but the Silivasi family as a whole. Tessa takes us another rollercoaster ride in the new installment of the blood curse with Kagen and his Destiny in the center.

Loved it!
So, right away I didn’t like the author’s description of Kagen: Chin length hair? Really? Tell me one thing that’s attractive about a man with chin length hair. On a woman it’s cute but on a man it’s atrocious. That’s the very reason I said I’d pass On Ramsey’s story. Because one minute he had chin length hair then the next he had spiked hair. Neither one is hair fit for a hero, IMO.
However, since I wanted to see what happened to them finding their father I figured I’d forget about the author’s description and imagine my own.
LOL.. The fight between the spider and Nachari was so funny. He’s one brutal killer but when it comes to spiders and porcupines he just turns into a screaming little girl.
I liked that Kagen didn’t know whether Arielle was his destiny because they were in another dimension, and Arielle was a little more than afraid of him because of his possessiveness. But I’m glad it was discussed between him a Nachari instead of the book getting all angsty over it. At least, it gave Kagen something to think about, other than why he was acting so crazy over her and having no idea why.
And I was excited about the battle that was to come between the brothers and that horrible Thane.
I did have a problem, when the battle was over and that were back in Dark Moon Vale, Kagen saved her life, took her out of Mhier, out of that horrible place run by blood thirsty, evil Lycans and she had a problem with the Curse? “What if I’m not ready in time?” Seriously? It was like saying that if she wasn’t ready, well, he would just have to die, that’s all. This is not the first time the author said something this stupid, and I had a hard time with it every time. I knew it would all work out but it was unnecessary.
Again, there was no desire, no wanting, no nothing until there was sex. This author needs to read Samantha Holt or Katie Reus to learn how to write sexual attraction or sexual tension. It would make the story much better.
Of the 6 books in this series I’ve said twice that a book was my favorite BUT really, this was my favorite. The battle in the arena against the Lycans was epic! Each book had its problems but they’re worth the read.
However, this series is not for anyone who’s bothered by LOTS of blood and gore.

I have read all the books in the Blood Curse series. I greatly enjoyed the first one “Blood Awakening”. Each book has gotten better and better and has just drawn me further into this unique world Ms. Dawn has created of the Dark Moon Vale. The books could be a standalone read but you get more out it by reading the series in order.
These books are exciting, and are what is referred to as a dark vampire paranormal book, I prefer to call it realistic paranormal. Everything feels real because Ms. Dawn does not hold back. Her books are packed with action, adventure, violence, seduction, romance and very engaging people. The people, weather good or evil, are each individuals to include how they walk, behave and speak. I like the way she lets us peek into their minds and lets us know why a character acts a particular way, even if the individual is acting like a jerk.
“BLOOD FATHER” included all of the above then went beyond. It is now my favorite in the series. This story grabbed my attention from the get go. It started with a tense atmosphere that I could feel and just grew from there. I laughed, cried a lot (sad and happy tears), felt joy, anger, and fell in love.
I really liked the vampire Kagen. He is a strong old world alpha male that lives by a strict code but who can also be sensitive, kind, caring and loving. And Arielle is a strong and capable heroine who is no door mat. She has many sides to her personality. One of the things that makes Blood Father stand out is there is more than one hero, so you have your pick. Another thing is the believable imagery in the worlds she creates. This story grabs a hold of you and does not let go to the end. And then Ms. Dawn teases us in the epilogue for the next book in the series. Although Blood Father is a complete read, Ms. Dawn leaves you (ME) wanting more. Thank you Ms. Dawn for writing such an amazing tail.

Wow I love this series! Even through all the battles, fighting, tension, hardships and sorrow of this series I still come away in awe of Tessa's writing! It speaks to me somewhere below the surface and deep into my heart! I feel the emotions and best of all the feelings of love of family. Honor and duty!! I connect with it somehow!
For years I have loved Nathaniel but, I believe he will have to step aside now that we have had Kagen's story! Wow- sweet and charming, caring, a healer, freed from his demons now he and Rielle will be able to heal each other. Even in all the misery he found it in his heart to hold and comfort Rielle to bring her a small amount of peace. I love the fact that she will be able to acquire all his knowledge and not have to stress over being thrown into this realm in present day.
They were able to find answers to her demons and bring the healing to the now, by naming their baby after a brother and a father!
I was not so freaked out this time by the demon child having to be sacrificed... somehow I knew it was all going to work out.
Arielle faced all these new challenges with a brave, warriors heart and now has the comfort of family and home.
I believe she has finally come home!!!!!! I cant wait to hear more about her and their father, of there struggles and all that they overcome as family, together! Both free to heal and move on in love!
Tessa you Nailed it!
You are one of three of my top, favorite authors of all time!
Thank you for you stories and Vampires that BITE!
Cant wait for the next installment.......

I LOVE all of Tessa Dawn's books. One of the main reasons is for her villains. There is no kinda bad bad guy in her books. Then, when I saw there was a new group of bad for this book, not gonna lie, I was scared. I adore the house of Jaegar. Mainly Salvatore. I mean I knew the book was going to be awesome because Tessa Dawn wrote it. Her style of writing is always, always awesome. Right away I was drawn back into the world of the house of Jadon. And boy, what a wonderful, sometimes heartbreaking place to be. This book honestly had everything you could want, and it totally surpassed my expectations. Also, can I finally say, werewolves were awful in this book!! I hate werewolves. This was perfect!! It made up for lacking the Nistors. If you're looking for a nice love story, you've come to the wrong series. But if you're looking for a dark, gritty, well written journey, this is the series to read.

Another really good addition to the Blood Curse series. The bond between Kagen and his brothers was so wonderful and reuniting them with Keitaro was heart warming. My only complaint is that I never felt a connection between Kagen and Arielle. It just wasn't there she spent the majority of the book afraid of him and any feeling she had towards him. I understand why but I felt it wasted to much time. Anyway it was still an enjoyable read and I'm already excited for the next book. Ramsey is next and I can't wait.
June 19, 2014
I have to say Tessa you out did yourself on this book , wow, wow, wow. they finally found there dad, Kagen found his destiny. Tears now how sweet that the daughter of his dads heart is his true destiny. wow. they lycons were a tough breed on Kagen when they stole his dad, I cant believe he lived through all that. Arielle is a perfect match for the healer for sure. oh boy what a great story. cant wait to see what is next from Tessa.
June 13, 2014
This was the BEST book of the Blood Curse series by far! I stayed up all night & finished it in one sitting. It was AWESOME! Ms. Dawn you've written a beautiful, humorous, exciting & thrilling...oh what else there to say...novel. A big shout out to you!
