Sophia is coasting through life. Sick to death of dead-end love affairs, she's living in her best-selling historian father's mansion, content with her books and her dreams until three things happen at once. A secret note arrives from her mother, who disappeared twenty years ago. A nearby castle is bought by a millionaire. And the old house on the estate adjoining hers is opened up again when the deceased owner's son retires from the military, along with his canine partner Blackhawk.

Attracted both to her Veteran neighbor and the castle's mysterious young owner, Sophia begins discovering that reality is much stranger than she realized. With evidence of the supernatural seductively surrounding her, she learns that love and desire are powerful, even Divine forces that can't just be played with, unless she wants to risk paying the ultimate price.

Author's Note: This is a work of fiction, but much of it is true.

Maria Isabel Pita was born in Havana, Cuba. Her family moved to the U.S. when she was eight months old, and she grew up in Fairfax, Virginia. Reading, writing and history have been her abiding passions ever since she can remember. In college, she majored in World History, and minored in English Literature and Cultural Anthropology. Later in life, lucid dreams led her to fully embrace the Catholic faith in which she was raised. Once a popular erotic romance author, Maria now writes faith based fiction and nonfiction. She has presented at two International Association For the Study of Dreams conferences, and is a featured contributor to the Lucid Dreaming Experience Magazine.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Well Written and Ambitious Story
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2020

I've read and enjoyed many of the authors novels. At first, I recognized the familiar style and topics that she has based many of her stories around. A beautiful young woman and her desirable and complex suitor. Dreaming and lucid dreaming. As well as Catholicism and faith. However there are other tones and directions that are weaved into this story which make it quite different.

The stories protagonist is Sophia. A young woman of good family means. However, there are elements of her past that haunt her. Her mother mysteriously disappeared when she was a little girl. And her relationships with men have been nothing more than a series of short flings centered on her penchant for kinky sex. As such, there is an element of vulnerability to Sophia. She is desperately trying to move past this as the story unfolds. And while her suitor Jonathan is her anchor and there to help her be the person she needs to be. A second love interest begins to intrude in her life as well as her dreams. Exposing weaknesses she is trying to move past.

While the number of characters in the story is quite modest, the story itself is tremendously ambitious. Cleverly mixing the aforementioned topics with a generous dose of the supernatural and some well placed eroticism. The various antagonists in the story have motives that are mysterious at best. But I suspect that is on purpose as this is Book 1 and a set-up for what is to come. The ending of Book 1 was very satisfying. But it's the next chapter in the series that I am most looking forward to. I can see this going in many complex and unpredictable directions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes You Think...
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2020

Science, religion and philosophy are effortlessly intertwined in Maria Pita's Song of the Blood.
The main character, Sophia, struggles with desires both spiritual and physical as she yearns
for answers about her mother's disappearance twenty years earlier. My wife also read the book
and it has sparked stimulating discussion about mind and heart, intellect and emotion, etc.
Ms. Pita creates vivid imagery throughout, as well as giving life to a variety of characters.
(Everyone should have a "Consuelo" in their lives). One final thought... I won't ever think of
organ transplantation in quite the same way ever again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesomely frustrating end - I need the next book now!

From the beginning, this work had me hooked. Characters that seemed normal quickly and quietly began revealing interesting twists to their lives.

Sophia, the main character of this story, is tempted in all manner of ways, and seems to just escape one situation after another like a teasing dream.

Maria has brought to life an interesting set of characters and woven them into a plot and story I really enjoyed, and with an ending that left me wanting more. I look forward to the next work in this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ambitious & exactly what I wanted
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2020
This book was exactly what I hoped it would be. It was advertised to me as a Contemporary Gothic Romance, and when I looked into the author I noticed how she also writes for a lucid dreaming magazine, which just makes a supernatural romance even more appealing to me!!!

This book had great mystery, I wanted to solve it alongside the characters. It has a respectful romance, even a little boy next door factor!!!

But the best factor to me was the way the author was able to capture in her writing style both very real moments and very lucid moments. At some points in the book, there were moments where the writing felt so concrete and solid, and moments where everything felt dreamy and you question whether they are really happening in the way we are perceiving them through the eyes of the main character, Sophia. To extend it even more there were moments, in characters dreams, where the narrative just became even more dreamy and dazed. I just loved how she was able to capture such a spectrum of real to dreamy in her writing. Which just completely mirrors the actual plot of the book. She did such a great job with that.

I also liked how all the characters were highly educated and having educated discussions throughout the entire book. Maria Isabel Pita works to capture and play with the interactions of religion, science, and supernatural phenomena, and while I don't think it was a complete slam dunk (which I think is nearly impossible when you're trying to mingle all of those things together) she did a very good job to have all of the ideas and theories play together to make this story.

I really enjoyed the book, it was easy to follow and the mystery was definitely interesting, and there were surprises throughout. This isn't the genre I normally read, but I just couldn't resist this one, and it definitely delivered what I was hoping for!

5.0 out of 5 stars She does it again.
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2020
Once again, Maria Isabel Pita weaves a story that has you listening to the end.
In this story you have Sophia, who comes from a family of means but who has made many bad choices with the men she gets involved with. Until Jonathon returns home from his tour of duty in the service.
Though they have been neighbors they really never met or interacted with each other until now and he introduces her to lucid dreams by appearing to her in the form.

However, a second love interest enters the picture, a love interest she has no desire to be with when awake but who also comes to her in the state of lucid dreaming, which has her confused on how she feels about it.
But many others things unfold, the reappearance of a mother who abandon Sophia and her father, to meeting her unknown twin sisters-one in person and the other in her lucid dreams.

Ms Pita does a wonderful job explaining and showing the difference between religion, spirituality, lucid dreams, philosophy and yes the paranormal.

Whether you listen to this novel or read it, you will truly enjoy it.
