A broken mage. A penitent vampire. Can they put aside the horrors of the past to save each other?

Plagued with erratic. volatile magic, Nicodemus Green focuses his entire life to stop an evil sorcerer who brainwashes or kills anyone in his path to domination. Ten years into this crusade, Nick stumbles upon his former Academy instructor in the Austrian Alps. The strict and pious Byron Domitius has cloistered himself in an isolated manor. Alone and starving, he hates the twisted, damned creature he has become.

A prophecy calls for Nick and Byron to bond by blood to finally bring an end to the sorcerer's hidden agenda. The two are forced to see beyond their shared past, and Nick finds himself desiring more from his old instructor than just his magic. But are these emotions real, or do they come from the heat of their bond?

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Urban Fantasy with Engaging Characters
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2021

SUMMARY:

“Blooded” by Nat Kennedy is an LGBTQ urban fantasy with an engaging enemies to lovers romance subplot.

Nick and his friends graduate from magic school, and instead of pursuing the life they planned, they commit to hunting down Woodworm, whose vicious attacks threaten to destroy the world.

That’s all, folks! I’m not giving away any more.

THINGS I LIKED:

The first action scene sucked me into the story. The characters kept me reading. I liked the bond between Nick and his three friends. The characters are developed, likable, and engaging. Plus, they have an easy camaraderie that comes from years of friendship.

Lately, I’ve read some novels marketed as one genre but turn out to be romances. I always feel tricked when the plot fads to the background and the romance takes over. That didn’t happen here. Nick’s romance become important, but the quest stays in the foreground.

I enjoyed the humor in the book, especially the interaction between Josephine, who seems to be a cranky ghost, and Byron, a morose vampire. Josephine does her best to make Bryon’s life miserable and drive him away, but he doesn’t budge.

SOME NITPICKS:

Places in the middle slowed for me. The first action scene was wowsers. Then the pace slowed for a bit. 

There’s a ten-year gap in the story, which I found the shift a little jarring, but quickly got into the current storyline.

The magic and terminology took some getting use to, but that might be me. I happily accept that Gandalf can do things without having to know how he does it. I’m lazy about figuring out magic system, but figuring things out is way, way better than tedious/boring information dumps. 

OVERALL:

I enjoyed this story and would recommend this to readers who like urban fantasy, LGBTQ stories, and enemy to lovers romances. One caveat: there are explicit gay sex scenes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Story, Developed Characters, Friendship, Feels, & Sexy Biting!
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2022
*I received an ecopy of this book via Hidden Gems. This has not influenced my review.*

This is one of those books with great everything!

The best thing for me was the characters and the emotion they brought. They felt believable and developed and unique---even the spirit in the house Byron was living in was unique and interesting and her own character---and I felt for them. I felt for Byron most though. He had so much personal angst and turmoil, feeling like he'd been abandoned and forsaken by his friends, the man he loved, God. After the sexy biting scenes, my favorite scene was the one when I realized the true depth of his angst and guilt and pain and when he finally learned the truth about things that had been haunting him. [Hidden spoiler can be found in my review on my blog or Goodreads.]

The romance was perhaps a bit fast, but it didn't really feel too fast. They had a good connection. Also, whew, this author knows how to write sexy vampire biting! Seriously, those biting + sex scenes were just fantastic.

Friendship was an important element too. Nick and his friends were close in school, but the trauma they experienced together on the night of their graduation brought them even closer. For ten years or so since then, they've lived together and hunted down baddies together and stuck together through thick and thin. The friendship between Chester and Byron, what Chester, and even Sean, did for Byron, was heartwarming too.

I liked that the trauma from the graduation day incident wasn't brushed off. It affected Nick and his friends and the trajectory their lives took.

I also liked the way the vampirism was portrayed. At least, Byron's experience with it. Not monstrous, plenty sexy, but also not overlooking the less nice elements of it, like wanting to lick blood off the floor.

The world was basically ours, but with supernaturals and magic as an accepted part of it. There was a magic system that uses spells and components and focus stones and the stars.

There's no indication as of right now that this will be a series, and this was a complete story, but there is a little plot thread that could definitely be followed into a sequel, and I would gladly read it. I really liked Nick and Byron and their friends, and I'd love to read more about them.

Overall, this was a solid book all-around, it gave me some feels, and that sexy vampire biting really gave it an extra kick ;-)

3.0 out of 5 stars Not For Me
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2021
Unfortunately this one just didn’t do it for me. The pacing was a bit off and there wasn’t enough worldbuilding to make this a solid story. The first couple of chapters thrusts you into this world of magic and paranormal beings but doesn’t quite give you the info you need to understand the how’s and why’s. I felt like this was a spin-off to another series in this universe where I should’ve already known the backstory and history.

The characters were fine but there’s a lot of telling instead of showing in order to speed up the pace of the plot. I didn’t feel like the characters had any chemistry and was told their feelings and motivations instead of discovering them through actions.

This book had a lot of potential but it moves too fast with too many unexplained details. It seemed more like the finale of a story or series instead of the beginning of one.
