BLOOD DARK

Book 5 in the Blackthorn series

‘There are guardian angels, and there are monsters with wings’

Caitlin Parish should have been the last person to fall for a vampire. A member of the Vampire Control Unit, her relationship with master vampire Kane Malloy had explosive consequences. Caitlin’s colleagues count her as the enemy. And now she’s going back.

Kane has made powerful enemies of his own – and is being targeted by the head of the Global Council, Sirius Throme. With the stakes higher than ever before, Kane knows caring for Caitlin makes him vulnerable. Worse, her decision to return to VCU feels like betrayal.

With Throme threatening to tear Blackthorn apart, and the prophesied vampire leader finally revealed, Kane and Caitlin must both fight with everything they have to stop an all out war. But they’re fighting on opposite sides…

Right when she needs him most, Caitlin makes a shocking discovery about Kane. Has he been playing her all along? And can she trust him with her life when he won’t even trust her with the truth?

The choice Caitlin makes will change the game in Blackthorn forever.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT LINDSAY J. PRYOR…

‘I don’t think I have read such a finely executed dark PNR world before…This series truly surprised me. I didn’t think I would love it that much or be intrigued by it. I couldn’t stop thinking about these books once I was done with them… The world-building is spectacular. The characters are enthralling and addicting… Plain fabulousness.’ Gaga Over Books

‘I am completely enthralled with this paranormal series. You get so wrapped up in the story and characters that you lose track of time… This is one of my favorite series so far this year!’ Paranormal Book Club

‘This is a paranormal universe like none you have encountered before… There are stories that are so powerful, so intense that I do not believe anyone should warn you about what is to come… I truly do feel that if you love the Paranormal genre and have not yet discovered Lindsay J. Pryor or these novels then you need to read them, experience them firsthand.’ Keeper Bookshelf

‘I am officially addicted to this series. Why, you ask? Because Lindsay Pryor is my kind of fearless author. She isn’t afraid to “go there”, to create characters and situations that challenge me as a reader.’ The Demon Librarian

‘Not only are Pryor’s characters and fathomlessly dark love stories fabulous, but her continual world building of Blackthorn blows me away.’ Gravetells.com

‘If you’re looking for a new PNR series that has a dark world and complicated characters, then you’ll want to grab a copy of this. I can’t wait to read the next book.’ FictionVixen.com

‘She writes paranormal romance mixed with urban fantasy the way I like it – clever world-building, intense characters and no easy options for them to take.’ Nocturnal Book Reviews

Thanks for all the incredible support that has already been coming through on Facebook pending this announcement. I cannot tell you how relieved I am to finally be able to share it!

Eek! Exciting!! It’s been MONTHS since I’ve read a book (can’t seem to keep my eyes open lately!), but here’s one I know I’ll be reading at any and every opportunity! (Especially when a certain 4 yr old starts school! 😀)

Aaaah!!! *giddy squee* That preview blurb was fantastic! I was excited before I read it, now I am positvely breathless with anticipation! You sure do know how to tease your readers….and we love it. 😉

Such a handome cover, too – I would love to see one with Caleb like that…(hint hint) *sigh* Perhaps while I wait for book 6 I can find a pic of him like “that one” I found of Kane….hee hee… 😉

Congratulations on #5! I am so thrilled for you. Can’t wait to get my copy and see what is in store for Kane and Caitlin! Team Blackthorn always. <3 xoxo

Bookouture will be very pleased to know that blurb has added to the hook, Suzanne. 😀 Me tease me readers? Never! *innocent face*

When Caleb’s comes out I’ll have to turn it into a poster just for you. 😉 Oh, and I think your mission to find more of “those ones” should start now.

Thanks so much for your congrats. I hope knowing you’ll be getting your copy early is easing the anticipation a little bit. Thanks again for entering the competition with such an amazing contribution. <3TeamBlackthorn xoxo
