Blood Wager

She is the most amazing and talented performer that I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to. There are narrators then there are story tellers, and Traci will just blow you away with the way she delivers this story of a lifetime to you. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Would you ever listen to anything by Connie Suttle again? Of course I really enjoy her work. How does this one compare? I like Traci Odom's narration although it does change throughout the books but that's a good thing for me, As I have gotten used to hearing her during the rest of the series.

Was Blood War worth the listening time? I have listened to all of the books available in this series, I have to admit lissa does nothing but moan and complain about her life, she never appears to be happy or content with her life. I loved the books in the beginning but find that the longer these books run the less I like her, Grffin well he is just a waste of time out to destroy his daughters life no matter where she is, I'm yet to find out why he wiped roph's memory there doesn't appear to be a reason for this,yet it pops into the book with no real reason or explanation.

I will as I have done so far listen to the next book Connie has written, I hope there is explanations for these rather random acts by Griffin. I can only hope that further books in the series have better ground work, Lissa needs to be happier with her lot , She is one of the Nameless ones so her power is greatest surely with that power should come the possibility of some laughter and happiness.

I love this series and have read and re-read all of them - as I have said before the author is somewhat clumsy in her writing but the overall story in good. The narrator was much better in the earlier books when there where fewer characters.

Blood War (Blood Destiny 8)

I have problems with her voices. The voice she used for Roff and Thurlow are very very alike which I found extremely distracting. The character, Rigo is according to the book, more than a millennium old and has a strong sense of morality and integrity yet the voice HE has been given is that of a young girl perhaps it might be a boy. I wouldn't normally suggest a change of narrator in the middle of a series but on this occasion, please consider it. Connie Suttle Narrated by: Blood Destiny Suttle , Book 8 Length: Give as a gift.

This book was really good. Like the other books, it was fast paced and had plenty of action.

by Connie Suttle

While I enjoyed reading it, there were a few times that I had to take a break because it was SO sad. I bawled my eyes out many times during this book. Every time I think that Lissa can't possibly be betrayed or broken more, Connie Suttle finds some way to make it happen.

I have never felt this bad for a main character before. No one s 4. No one should have to go through a thousandth of what Lissa has been through. But her resilience through it all is what really shocks me. I admire her so much for that alone because I can tell you now I could never go through what she had to in this book alone, and survive. Another thing about Lissa that astounds me, is her compassion to those who have betrayed her and her willingness to forgive them. She is a better person than I am in that as well because I would never forgive Griffin or most of the others for what they have done to her.

Lissa has so much heart and it is truly a miracle that she can have it broken so much but be able to put it back together as much as she has. It is really hard to watch what she goes through in each installment and at this point, I just want her to be happy because she deserves it more than anyone. I don't even have words for how much I despise him at this moment. He has done a lot to Lissa in previous installments that I wanted her to forgive him for.

But after learning some of the things he did to her in this installment, I can honestly say that NO ONE deserves forgiveness for what he has done. Knowing Lissa could never have a child biologically, Griffin deliberately took her adoptive child away from her. That is probably the worst thing a person could do to someone. To take a child away, is cruel and immoral.

And to do that to your own daughter What kind of person are you? That is probably the worst thing I have seen someone besides a villain do. Griffin is lucky that I wasn't his daughter because I can tell you right now I wouldn't have given Wyatt's immortality back so easily. I would have made Griffin wait until Toff was an adult and brought back home which would have been 30 years because that is when he would be considered full grown before I would restore Wyatt's immortality, and if anything would have happened to Wyatt during that time, oh well.

Griffin deserves anything that happens to him at this point and I hope that Lissa doesn't forgive him because he doesn't deserve it and he never really has. Lissa finding out that Redbird bonded to Toff was one of that hardest things I have ever had to read. I cried so much at the pure injustice of that situation. After everything Lissa did for those people and to get Toff back, for that to happen, it broke my heart. Toff was Lissa's child, and to take him away like that I honestly don't know how Lissa brought herself back together after that.

Get A Copy

I sincerely hope that when Toff is older, he understands what happened to him and a big part of me hopes he hates Redbird for it. You would think that Redbird, being someone that couldn't have a child, she would understand where Lissa was coming from. I don't know how someone could do that to a person, knowing what it's like to not be able to have a child of their own.

I have no words to describe how selfish and wrong that was. I really hope that Toff leaves her over what she has done when he is old enough to understand. It would serve her right to lose the child that she stole and came to love as she raised it. I felt like Giff not allowing Lissa to see her child was a low blow. Like, hasn't Lissa been through enough with what happened to Toff? I can't imagine how much that hurt Lissa and I hope that Giff allows Lissa to see the child eventually.

Obviously, I still love this series very much. I will be continuing on with the series because who wouldn't after that cliffhanger? For Lissa's sake, I really hope that she doesn't lose anyone else because I don't know if she could take it. Who could really blame her for what happened at the end causing the giant cliffhanger.

Who would honestly want to come back after what has happened to Lissa in this book alone? I am on the edge of my seat to read the next installment and find out what happens to Lissa and crew. May 01, Hitandmiss rated it it was ok. Short review - Very similar to the last book, Lissa goes to fight a mini war on some planet, Helps more races and people and continues to build up the Vampire home world.

The problems within this book are problems that were started in the previous books and are just compounded on and grow, to the extent that even minor issues really start to break the plot lines. I could just copy and paste that her Short review - Very similar to the last book, Lissa goes to fight a mini war on some planet, Helps more races and people and continues to build up the Vampire home world. I could just copy and paste that here, and most of it would stay true to this book as well. All my predictions came true!

Or icky sexy questions about people! In this book Lissa decides to live with the army for a few weeks then decides to erect a barrier, when the baddies find a way round the barrier she relocates the innocents. She holds this over the Elfs heads. Consider it from the Elfs POV, They were about to be wiped out, they had no way to save there people unless they kidnap a child.

They had no knowledge of Lissa before or anyway to contact her. Lissa would not of known they were about to die. Green Elfs had nothing to be sorry about.

Lissa has a bounty placed on her head….. They are mind controlling world leaders and trying to kill Lissa and her Vamps. She has shown the ability to detect evil and good thus allowing her to wipe out the bad and save the good. This whole plot line should have been solved in pages by repeating the process she did in the last book.

Female Vampires, early on Lissa calls all of them before her to see if they are under mind control. Instead of dealing with this tactically separate the females from the males and help them or place compulsion on them all and deal with it and with concern for the females, she allows the situation to devolve into a fight. Or why not use her god powers to relocate the females and destroy the evil vamps.

She would have left her body on the throne in plain sight of the cameras. Both of these series are set in the same universe and will probably follow in this series in faults.

Assignments are handed out at the end of every Conclave, and Lissa has been given the assignment to act as Liaison for the ASD Alliance Security Detail - the founder and 20 charter members of the Reth Alliance have made that decision. As Lissa says, "you don't show up for the meeting, you get the assignment. Toff's life is in danger - someone from the Green Fae village wants him dead.

With only a few exceptions, the Fae focus their anger and the blame on Toff, who fails to understand why everyone now seems to be against him. Blood Destiny Suttle 10 books in series.
