Blood Awakening

Highly Reccommended! A MUST Read!

Wow, what can I even say about this book. It was spectacular! I was hooked from the very beginning! I read it in just 10 hours and I could not put it down! This book was certainly different from the first, but absolutely not in a negative way. I personally feel like "Blood Awakening" was was BETTER!!! I loved getting to know more about the Silivasi brothers. I feel like I know them. Tessa is an AMAZING writer and I'm excited to read the next books in her series :)!

Highly recommended! Must read!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my God! This book is sooo good! I didn't know how it would compare to the first one and now I can't believe it! It is so shocking and emotional! Words can't even describe! I felt a part of the book, feeling very strong emotions throughout the different chatpers. This book is totally crazy and is by far one of the BEST books I've EVER read! All I can say is you won't be able to put it down, and once it's finished, you will want more!

I gave the first book 5 stars, but for me, this one is even bett

I gave the first book 5 stars, but for me, this one is even better! Marquis is an alpha vampire who has been protecting his family for over 1,000 years. He is harsh, single minded at times and can be very cruel when necessary. But for this reader, that really just adds to his "charm." The second book in this series is all about Marquis and a princess who has been underground for 2800 years. Yep, the storyline is just that interesting. Again, just like in the first book, there is a lot of darkness, so please keep that in mind (especially if you don't like violence). Great series. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

A MUST read-very emotional

I read this book in record time. It is a very emotional story with twists and turns and surprises that keep you guessing. All the way to the end I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. I love the characters and seeing the softer side to a very hunky, macho, and intense Marquis was amazing. Great job on this one! Keep 'em comin' because I want to know so much more about all of these wonderful characters.

Absolutely Riveting!

This book is a must read! I absolutely love it! The characters are so amazing and the way Tessa describes them, I feel like I know them personally. My emotions run from "what?!" to "oh my goodness" to "I wanna get in there and grab somebody!" You're actually caught up into this story. Loved it!!

Tessa Dawn gets better and better!

So many authors have a great first book then all the rest are redundant. Ms Dawn has managed to create a story world and keep it interesting and unexpected in the next book. Draws you in and you can't put it down. i HAVE to get the 3rd one now, I simply can not wait to see what happens!

Recommend

I don't usually write reviews but I love the series.

A really good read

This is a fantastic start for a new author. Well written, good story, well thought out characters. Can't wait to sink my fangs into the next book!

Do not recommend

I've tried 3 times to read this book and each time quit because it is so poorly written.
I don't understand those who gave it 5 stars. Or even 4. Perhaps friends of the author?
This is the first negative review I've ever written. Am doing so now because I'm VERY disappointed in this book. I purchased it because it was rated so highly.
I cannot say anything good about this book - the characters are flat and uninteresting - storyline not believable.

Clumsier than the first but still good

This could have been really amazing with some good editing. There were sparks of true brilliance but some clunky plot choices and repetitive passages. It almost felt like an early draft. I'm going to keep an eye on this author because with a little growth she just may be the next huge thing.

An excellent read!!!

Loved this book. The second in the series and once I started it I could not put it down. The story of Marquis Silivasi is fantastic. It keeps you guessing and waiting for what will happen next. I found it to be as good as the first book. I can't wait for the third book to come out in the series. It is one of the best series I have read in a while.

a must read

I loved this book once i started reading it i could not put it down Tessa Dawn done a really good job showing how different people can be and still make things work

not recommended

This book is a big upset compared to Blood Destiny (the first book in the series). Maybe it was just the characters that were upsetting but I struggled to finish this book at all. To be perfectly honest, both main characters in this book are completely selfish. They barely think about anyone but themselves when they are together. The beginning was too rushed as well. One moment they find each other the next moment they love each other because they shared some "dreams" for a long time. There is barely any description about these "dreams" they had yet they kiss the first "real" encounter they have with each other. Blood Destiny was way better than this book ever will be. If you like storylines like Blood Destiny then this book is NOT for you. I can only hope that the next book in this series is better than this one.

TOP of the vampire food chain!!! ABSOLUTELY MUST READ!!!!

I'm not sure I can put into words how much I LOVE Blood Awakening! This is the second book in The Blood Curse Series written by Tessa Dawn. If you haven't read the first book, Blood Destiny yet, I suggest that you do so right away! This is an amazing series! Blood Awakening is a VERY DARK fantasy/romance. So, please be forewarned! This book contains some very graphic and descriptive horror scenes. I feel that they truly bring to life just evil the sons of jaegar are. They are soul-less vampires. Rotten to the core. It also shows just how tough and strenuous life can be for the sons in The House of Jadon. They are very Alpha and very passionate and sexy. They are the vampires of the light. But, They have to dirty their hands to follow their laws and protect their species. Some of the things they have to do are just horrific....but they have to do what they have to do! Our Hero is Marquis silivasi, an ancient warrior. He believes he has found his destiny but when the blood moon appears, it reveals another! If anything COULD go wrong, it DID go wrong for poor Marquis. I just couldn't believe the turn of events! This story kept me captivated from the beginning to the end! There are twists and turns that made my head spin! This is a very fast paced and entertaining read! It is NOT for the faint of heart! If you LOVE dark fantasy, you absolutely MUST read Blood Awakening!! It is certainly at the top of my vampire food chain!

kld

again, this writter delivers! simply fantastic!

Very Good!!

I have to admit, this was not as good as Blood Destiny (in my opinion) BUT it was great nonetheless...there was one scene that had me twisting in my seat but other than that...very great book! cant wait for the next!

Better than the first one!

Wow! What a fantabulous read! Blood Awakening is the second book in Tessa Dawns Blood Curse series and it brings us deeper into the world of Dark Moon Vale and it's inhabitants. Once again we see the battles between the descendants of Jadon and Jeager and how horrific war can really be.
There is so many awesome things about this book that I don't know where to start. Also, not being a fan of super long reviews myself I'll try to keep myself from babbling too much LOL!
The role of hero in this book is played by Marquis Silivasi, an Ancient Master Warrior vampire that was born of the House of Jadon. Our heroine is Ciopori Demir. Ciopori is the daughter of King Sakarias, who was ruler of the Celestial Beings before the Blood Curse. She is also the sister of Jadon, Marquis's ancestor. How can that be you ask? The answer is simple; she was put into a deep slumber to protect her from her blood crazy brother Jeager and his followers.
Though Blood Awakening is a dark fantasy, the romance in this book was written superbly. The attraction between Marquis and Ciopori was so powerful that you couldn't help but to be drawn to it. I think that the fact that Marquis's cries of anguish woke Ciopori from her 2,000 year slumber attests to the intensity of their bond. When it looked like Ciopori wasn't Marquises destiny it was such a blow. My heart broke for them. Finally, after all his years of being alive, he had found love and it was being ripped away from him.
The closer look that we got into Marquis's personality was amazing. Whereas in Blood Destiny Marquis was a rock, nothing but hardness, it wasn't the case in this book. Here, we see beyond the hard exterior and into the man. Marquis may be socially inept and extremely prickly but within him lies the core of an extremely passionate and caring man.
OK so maybe I'm painting the wrong picture of Marquis. He's still a domineering Alpha male. He's still incredibly hard to get along with and scary as Hell but I can't get past the softer side of his psyche that we are shown in Blood Awakening.
Blood Awakening is a dark Fantasy so there was much more than Marquises love life to it. The darkness in this book is readily apparent. There was plenty of guts and gore in here but there was really only one scene that gave me pause. ***SPOILER ALERT*** The nursery scene. It's weird, I never had a problem with the sacrifice that the Blood Curse demanded but the slaughter of the babies in the nursery got to me. I understand that the babies were evil and needed to die. It was still hard to read about though.I think it was because there were so many of them. However, once I distanced myself from my reading and reminded myself how evil those damn sons of Jeager were, it was a lot easier to deal with.
All in all I had to give this book a 5 star rating. The action was amazing and the emotions were so real and authentic I found myself crying many times. In fact, at the end I was crying so much that my boyfriend was afraid that something bad had happened when he saw me. There were also some scenes that I couldn't help laughing out load about. Braden and his ridiculous antics were hilarious as always and Marquis is so clueless in social situations that you can't help but chuckle.
Blood Awakening was a fantastic read and I eagerly await the next installment in the Blood Curse series. Tessa Dawn's writing is fabulous and seems to get better with every book.

Extremely Moving!!!

I absolutely loved this book! It was just so moving and wonderful. Great job Tessa Dawn, great job indeed! A must read, I thought the first was absolutely wonderful, but this one was absolutely riveting! I CANNOT wait for book three, counting down the days. Well done, just well done!

Another great read, Good job Ms. Dawn!

The first book in this series, I still consider one of the best books I have ever read. I enjoyed Blood Awakening. I'm not able to give it 5 stars because I did think some parts skipped around a bit. I felt like I was missing a chapter here or there. Some parts were a little extreme for me, or maybe that is my pregnancy hormones taking over (you'll understand when you read it). I appreciate the price of the ebook being cheaper than the paperback, as it should be! Overall I do recommend it, especially if you enjoyed the first. I look forward to #3.
