Returning to the place where you were born—after vanishing into thin air—is bound to be eventful. What's waiting could destroy you.

Abandoned in the middle of America when she was a child, Alex Kelley has come home. When she gets off of a plane and ends up in a familiar little shop in Greenwich Village where the merchandise is odd and exceptionally rare, she’ll unleash the secrets that have been waiting for her since the day she disappeared twenty-one years ago—the night her mother was viciously murdered.

But some family secrets are best left buried, because Fitheach blood doesn’t just run through the veins—it’s a binding contract that can never be broken.

Find out why every stranger on the streets of Manhattan wants to get their hands on the pendant she wears around her neck—the one her mother gave her days before the murder.

WARNING: This is not a standalone book. THE BLOOD THIEF continues where The AMULET THIEF ends, and THE DESTINY THIEF will culminate into the stunning conclusion to a story that will have you glued to the pages until the very last word. Get some sleep while you can.

I absolutely love to read about characters who have grit and wit and a sense of humor even in the most appalling circumstances. Fantasy is my go to genre and these books do not disappoint. Well written, well thought out and great characters. I’m hooked. Thank you.

I wish the author could have found other ways to get the heroine into scrapes without having her be repeatedly stupid and stubborn. The typos were also occasionally distracting. I found the plot and other characters quite interesting, though, and found it a good read.

Alex Kelley returns to her childhood home looking for answers, then the odd begins. This book had promise and a decent cast of characters, but, as seems to happen sometimes, the main character does things she knows she shouldn't, finding herself in bad situations, again, knowing it's going to happen. The relationship between Alex and Greer is long, drawn out and awkward, where it really doesn't have to be. There is little to no open communication between Alex and Greer about her past, of which we find out he knows all too well. Parts of the story line are creative and others drawn out just too long. It's also written in first person, which is a minus I can overlook if the book is well done. One of the cool and totally imaginative things in the story is lost in the awkward relationship between Alex and Greer. All in all, I found it a fair read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic in every sense of the word

I don't usually review books. However, I just spent a solid 4+ hours engorging myself on this read when I found I just couldn't bear to have to put it down once again! As a vigorous reader who gets into my characters, I'm used to being pulled into a story. But this one...this one only let me go because it ended and I had to get the next one. There were many, many twists and turns and seemingly shifts of the space/time continuum within the story, which is told completely through the main character's own understanding of her world as it is steadily shattered, re-aligned, and shattered again. I honestly considered the whole thing to be a drug trip of either the main character or even the author, at times; I found myself lost in the shattering of the world right along with the main character, only to come out on the other side realizing that I/we knew even less than before. The plot and the main character's realizations along with it, were a fantastic (and I mean that in every sense of the word) representation of anyone on life's long journey who thinks they know what to expect. I found myself sympathizing with the main character on many levels - even when she was being undeniably stupid or selfish.

Some people reviewing this book are going on about character flaws or cliché characters or being utterly lost as the author wove her story- but even most of them still continued on. While I can see where some of them are coming from, I completely disagree with them at the same time. The only thing that actually bugged me about the book, were the periodic typos.

This author is an artist. Her writing is eloquent even while her narrator is not. Her descriptions are explicit without being overbearing. Though I found myself frequently lost and questioning what I'd just read, I learned to keep reading until the character understood what was happening. Even with all of the main characters I've read, I've found it rare to meet one who is so realistically uncensored in her thoughts; who is so realistically battered and confused as she navigates her new world; and who is so realistically and idiotically human. I loved it. Sometimes what fantasy needs to really touch a reader, is a healthy dose of realism. The main character's circumstances may be fantastic (read, fantasy) in nature, but her over-arching and changing self is so familiar. I applaud the author for her work!

As much as I loved and relished reading this book, I wouldn't recommend it to just anybody. Whoever reads this book, needs to be up to the challenge of really appreciating it for what it is, in the way that it is. As I said, it's a fantastic ride; are you up to it?

I enjoyed this book, although it gets a little tedious in the middle. Greer and Alex's chemistry is a slow burn, mildly annoying protector/protectee vibe. I usually love that kind of thing but I will admit that was part of the tediousness. If you like urban fantasy and paranormal books this is worth a read!

All I can say is that I'm glad the next book in the series is already out. When I swiped a page and saw it was the end, I couldn't believe it. I hate cliffhangers. But to be fair, it does sell the next book or have you watch the next show if it's good. And this series has all the earmarks of being a good one. I have to admit, I wanted to slap Alex several times for being an idiot and found it hard to believe the lax security they had around her at the end. They should've known she couldn't be trusted. I hope there is some back story (prequel maybe) sometime.

This is not what I thought. I’ve read it back the front & have read. Katie’s series first. Whoops!!!! So it took a little to realise it was not about her but someone entirely different. Alex is a funny character, her memory for things is weird, some things she remembers exactly, but there’s things & people she doesn’t remember at all. Her life after losing her mum then Ava wasn’t great & now she’s back in New York to find the answers. Strange occurrences, blips in time, weird people & lots of secrets, the story has just begun

I have no idea how Luann e wrote this book. It was very hard for me to follow because nobody told anybody anything and then when you think you have a clue it may or may not be a clue. How she kept this all straight is beyond me but I can't wait to read the next two books!

2.0 out of 5 stars very disappointing and somewhat questionable
Reviewed in Germany on October 6, 2018
Verified Purchase
I was high-fiving myself when picking up this book as the first paragraph was so promising but I was in for a disappointment.

My main issue was the “sex offender and violent sex vibe” throughout the book.
It starts out with harmless but very unnecessary sexual reference in all the wrong places that do not support the story in any form. Then it continues about descriptive vulgar reference - still not necessary to develop the story but obviously someone told the author sex sells.
What really tipped it off for me was the scene about one of the repetitive unconscious episodes of the heroine in which she had -without consent- sexual intercourses with her “protector”. In my book that is rape. I am seriously wondering why this is not even worth mentioning after coming back to being able to articulate oneself.

The other issue much less important compared is that I found while the story itself kept me intrigued and engaged it was a bit too vague and shallow. I was turning pages to finally understand what the characters were and what their gifts/magic was but nothing was revealed.

1* for writing style and no grammar/spelling errors.
1* for storyline itself (setting, world, etc.)
-2* sex issue
-1* for to vague story/character etc.

A very average read. In her effort to maintain the edginess, the author tends to make the entire belief system to cryptic/ esoteric. Even after reading he whole book, once is not very clear as to who and what are the main creatures, whether faerie, witch, warlock, how does the magic work in the authors universe. Etc.

Havent read something that got me reading till after midnight for a while. Lots of good end of chapter hooks so you have to read just one more. Feisty heroine, growing list of good characters. Has a great tall dark and broody love interest, as well. I'm enjoying the staggered pace of the worldbuilding and the plot twists.
