Blood Instinct Cover Reveal

With only four weeks left to go before the official release of BLOOD INSTINCT – book 6 in my Blackthorn series – I am thrilled to finally be able to share both the cover and the blurb with you…

Here’s our Jask, in his full azure-eyed glory this time around!

Blood Instinct final front cover

‘I THINK WHAT IS INSIDE OF YOU TRIGGERS THE WORST OF ME’

Sophia McKay has always had a reckless streak, but falling for lycan leader Jask Tao gave her something to live for. Now, cursed with a serryn bloodline, a darkness inside Phia is awakening. A darkness she knows could prove deadly to those she loves most.

Approaching a blue moon, Jask Tao and his pack are living close to the edge due to a delay getting the herbs required to stop their morphing. Worse still, the growing strength of Phia’s serryn powers are dangerously provoking the lycan in Jask.

At a time when Jask and Phia need each other more than ever, their very passion has become a poison that puts both their lives at risk.

With Sirius Throme, leader of the Global Council, on the verge of invading Blackthorn – working together is the only chance of survival. But Jask is holding on to a secret that could just blow everything apart.

And so is Phia.

Will the truth destroy them all?

A thrilling, action-packed and sinfully seductive paranormal read – where passions in Blackthorn ignite.

What readers are saying about Lindsay J. Pryor:

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

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

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 first-hand.’ ~ 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

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.’ ~ Fiction Vixen

‘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
