More Blood Torn Bites :)

After all the unexpected excitement of the last couple of days, I’ve got some Bite catching up to do. Here’s the one I should have shared here over the weekend instead of getting overexcited about charts and stats – it’s Bite number 5…!

And today’s Bite – Bite number 6 – is thanks to the lovely reviewers over at Moonrise Book Blog who were one of the first to rate and review Blood Torn. Time will tell if other readers agree…

Tracey Rogers does! If you missed her awesome review, you can read that here. Tracey won an early copy of Blood Torn as part of a competition I ran here. Superfan indeed!

I’d also like to thank Fiona Wilson who has written a gem of a review on her blog. Thank you so much, Fiona!

If you’ve written a review of Blood Torn on your blog, Amazon or Goodreads and you want me to know about it, do give me a nudge!

Blackthorn’s a UK #1 Too!

What a few days it has been! Not only has Blood Torn been doing well in the charts since its release on Friday, yesterday I was thrilled when Blood Shadows reached the #1 spot in Amazon.com’s Gothic Romance chart. Then at lunchtime today, I was elated to see all 3 Blackthorn books had hit the Top 4 in the Gothic Romance chart over here on Amazon UK.

Just when I thought the excitement was over, I received word that Blood Shadows had since reached #1 in Amazon UK’s Paranormal Vampire Romance chart! Yay!!

But that’s it now – no more boring you with stats and chart positions, I promise. As you’ve probably guessed, I use this blog as a diary for myself as well as to update you, and I couldn’t possibly not have this on the records.

So thanks again to everyone who is continuing to spread the word. And also extra special thanks to my incredible publisher, Bookouture, who are working relentlessly in the background to ensure Blackthorn meets as many readers as possible. Clearly it’s working!

But before Jask starts getting jealous of Kane stealing all his limelight, I’ll end the night here in the UK with another Bite. Go on, Jask, you tell ’em…

I’ll have another Bite for you tomorrow!

 

Blackthorn Hits No.1 – Again!

We did it, Team Blackthorn – Blackthorn is back at number 1 in Amazon’s U.S. Gothic Romance chart! Blood Shadows has not only hit the #1 spot for the second time, it has even earned itself a ‘Best Seller’ label!

And Blood Torn is close behind – snapping at its heels at number 4. Blood Roses is also doing well, just skirting the periphery of the Top 10.

(Yes, that’s Blood Torn lurking in the ‘Hot New Releases’ too!)

And Blackthorn’s doing well on Amazon UK too. Not only did Blood Torn go straight into the Gothic Romance bestsellers chart on Saturday, but it wasn’t alone – all three Blackthorn books were in the Top 10 simultaneously. Yay!! 😀

The books are also doing well in the Paranormal Romance Top 50, particularly in the vampire chart. I could bore you with numbers for ages, but the fact is that this is all thanks to every single reader who has gone out and supported the series.

I’m overwhelmed by the response to Blood Torn so far, so thank you so much everyone who has finished the book and got in touch to let me know what you think. And for those who have written reviews or are planning to – I hope you know how much I appreciate it. There’s no better way to spread the word to other readers than through readers themselves.

And on that note, I also want to say huge congrats to the lovely Tima Maria Lacoba (Blackthorn fan!), who’s own vampire romance, BLOODGIFTED, also made it into Amazon.com’s ‘Hot New Releases’ in Gothic Romance this weekend – at #38. It’s great to be chart-buddies with you, Tima!

It’s Blood Torn Release Day!

Today’s the day – Blood Torn is finally out!! 😀 Thank you to everyone who is already making the day special with your tweets, comments and messages. I’m getting the hint that a few people will be spending this weekend in Blackthorn. Make sure you come back to me safely!

And the day started brilliantly with a truly fantastic joint review of Blood Torn by two super-skilled reviewers over on The Demon Librarian – Lynsey and Janice. Thank you so much, ladies!

“If you’ve read any of the Blackthorn books (and if you haven’t, seriously, WTH are you waiting for?!), then you know what I know, which is that author Lindsay J. Pryor is crazy good at this writing stuff. Her world-building skills are scary-good, her writing is crisp and confident, and her characters are dark and deadly. And once her books sink their teeth into you, there’s no going back. You’re hooked. For life.”

You can follow the link above if you’d like to read their reviews in full – no big spoilers, I promise, just amazingly insightful glimpses into the series so far.

But it doesn’t stop there. They also kindly invited me to face a grilling on their blog: What was I thinking not tying up each Blackthorn book with a HEA? And why write such dark heroes? So I told them. You can find my answers beneath their reviews via the same link above.

Have a wonderful day, everyone! And whether it’s today, this weekend, or Blood Torn is (hopefully!) pulled out from your TBR pile in the weeks to come, I really hope you enjoy your next trip into Blackthorn. Thanks, as always, for your support.

The First Blood Torn Bite

Avid fans of Blackthorn who have been following the series for a while will know how this works – release day isn’t release day without a few Bites to help us out. So with only TWO days to go until the launch of Blood Torn, here’s the first of our new Blackthorn Bites. If you’ve not ‘met’ him already, here’s our hero, Jask Tao. Hope you like! As always, please feel free to share, tweet, pin, put on your own blog…whatever suits! There will be another one tomorrow! 🙂

Blood Torn – The Winner’s Review

Blood Torn launches TWO WEEKS TODAY! A while ago, I ran a competition in conjunction with Bookouture for one lucky Blackthorn fan to win an advanced copy of my latest instalment into Blackthorn. The winner was Tracey Rogers who, as a result, has earned herself the official title of ‘Blackthorn Superfan’. 🙂  Well, she’s read the book and now she’s reviewed it too…

“An enthralling emotional journey from start to breathtaking end! Expect the unexpected and then some! Beautifully written, Lindsay J. Pryor adds her jaw dropping twists and with the addition of a few familiar Blackthorn residents making an appearance, prepare to be stunned. Fabulous.”

But that’s just a snippet… if you’re eagerly awaiting the book and you’d like to know the full extent of what Tracey thought as well as what’s in store, you can read her totally awesome review here.

Thanks so much for entering the competition Tracey, for reading Blood Torn and taking the time to review it. I’m so thrilled it was worth your while!

And if you too are a big fan of Blackthorn and are happy to shout about it, Anna over on VampChix and Bite Club would like to know what readers think of my series. If you think you can tempt her to push it to the top of her ‘To Be Read’ pile, I’d LOVE  you to head over and comment. And to everyone who already has, big hugs and much appreciation as always for your support. Let’s unashamedly drag new readers kicking and screaming into Blackthorn. 😉

Have a brilliant weekend, everyone!
