A startling new vision of paranormal romance: When a human ventures into the world of vampires—a decadent milieu of blood-bonds and betrayal—she discovers that not all is what it seems. For Reyna Carpenter, giving up her body isn’t a choice. It’s survival. In a civilization laid waste by poverty and desperation, Reyna accepts a high-paying position with the wealthy and hungry vampire elite. Her new job is as the live-in blood escort for the intimidating, demanding, and devilishly handsome Beckham Anderson. He’s everything she expected from a vampire, except for one thing—he won’t feed off her. Reyna soon discovers that behind Beckham’s brooding, wicked façade lies a unique and complex man. And that, in a dark and divided world, she is more valuable than she ever would have believed. For with each passing night, Reyna can’t shake the sensation that it’s Beckham who’s afraid of her. Note: Reyna and Beckham’s story continues in Blood Match. ADD TO GOODREADS

Review:
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
I knew from the beginning that the book was going to end with a cliffhanger and I thought I knew how it would end, but I was wrong. Everything is a mess and I worry about every single thing. I hope that things will be alright in the next book and there will be a united front made from Becks and Ryan. I cannot say much because I might accidentally spoil the story for ya.
The last few sentences explain a lot of things that happened previously in the story and at the time didn't make any sense and they set up the plot for the second book.
Becks is an unusual character and he might be a hit or miss. He is cold. Like Reyna, I only got glimpses of who he truly was and only late in the book we found out who he truly was. Still, I was drawn to him and I liked him. I wanna see more of the man behind the mask. Reyna has both bad and good qualities. Some times she is weak and others she is kicking arse. She stood up foe herself once in a while. I liked her. She's only the only person who tells the story. So we get to see the world for the first time as she does.
The book is not very paranormal-y, so the people who don't like the genre won't have a problem with it and both parties can enjoy the book.
That was the moment Beckham appeared in the doorway like a storm cloud. Reyna straightened in her seat at the expression on his face. He walked across the room like a tightly coiled spring ready to explode. “Ah Beckham, there you are,” Harrington said. “Excuse me, William. I need to speak with Reyna. Alone.” She hastened out of her seat and followed him around the corner. He tugged her straight through the kitchens, out the back door, down a corridor, and into a dead end. Then her back was slammed against the brick wall. His fist connected with the wall behind her, and she felt the wall shudder. Debris floated onto her shoulders. “You left,” he growled. “I . . .” “No.” He pressed his finger to her lips roughly. She stopped breathing and just stared up into his eyes as dark as night. Her body trembled under the feral stare. “You left without me.” The silence was weighted. All she could do was sit with their bodies nearly touching. His finger on her mouth. Her mind wandering to hellacious places. “You are my subject. Can you imagine what it was like when I found you missing? When you turned up with three of my kind?” She shook her head minutely. He bared his teeth to her, and she shrank back. “These are meant to drink your blood. To drink you dry until there is nothing left of your body but a dry corpse. We are killers. We don’t hesitate. Just because we’re wearing suits and seem more like you . . . does not mean we are like you. We are not like you. They especially are not like you. The only way you get to the top of Visage is to be fucking ruthless, Reyna. Do you understand?” “You’re . . . scaring me,” she whispered. “Good.”
Reyna Carpenter and Beckham Anderson return in the exhilarating follow-up to the provocative paranormal romance Blood Type. ✦ Amazon US ✦ Amazon UK ✦ iBooks ✦ B&N ✦ Kobo ✦
