Our first Blood Bound Bite seemed to go down a treat on social media, so here’s another little teaser of what’s in store in our penultimate Blackthorn book…
And if you’re brand new to Blackthorn and have missed all of our previous Bites for the series, you can find them here. Feel free to share, pin etc etc.
Have a terrific weekend! xxx
Only THREE WEEKS to go and BLOOD BOUND will be yours! I think it’s time we had a little teaser…
We have exactly one month to go, Team Blackthorn! In 31 days, BLOOD BOUND will be yours!
But some readers will be getting their hands on their copy even sooner than that. Do look out for a giveaway coming soon!
Due to some unsubtle nudges from you, I’m also in the process of planning a few teasers to help us pass the time between now and the release.
It’s the penultimate book, ladies and gents. I wonder what I could possibly have in store in this one…
We did it again, Team Blackthorn!!! 😀
I’m thrilled to be able to share that BLOOD BOUND went right in at #1 in Gothic Romance on Amazon UK within hours of it going live for pre-order! It also made it into the Top 10 in Gothic Fiction on Amazon.com! That’s now the fourth Blackthorn book in a row to achieve this!
As well as that, it hit #1 in Hot New Releases both in the Gothic Romance and Gothic Fiction charts on Amazon UK and Amazon.com respectively!
Thank you so, SO much to everyone who has already pre-ordered and made this happen. <3
And a huge thank you too for all of your amazing comments – both here and on social media – regarding the cover and blurb reveal on Wednesday. I can’t tell you how fantastic it is to know how much you’re looking forward to your next Blackthorn adventure. It means a heck of a lot.
If you missed my cover and blurb reveal, as well as those pre-order links, you can find my previous post HERE.
Have a fabulous weekend! xxx
I am beyond excited to be able to share the cover for BLOOD BOUND – the penultimate book in my Blackthorn series!
Our Eden is back! And so is Jessie too! Read on for the blurb of what’s in store…
Love can be heaven. Or it can hurt like hell.
For exiled angel Jessie, falling for Eden Reece has been her salvation. When she discovers that her angel tears, used to heal Eden, are actually poisoning him the burden of guilt is crushing.
Jessie is determined to make things right and, with Eden by her side, they are a formidable team. But with Blackthorn surrounded by an impenetrable barrier and the army of Sirius Throme closing in, their mission is a desperate one. When Jessie discovers they are up against her own kind too, it looks impossible.
Eden and Jessie don’t just need a cure, they need a way out – and have less than 48 hours to find both.
Eden will fight to the last to protect Jessie, but when they are captured and separated, demons from his past return to haunt him. Suddenly, Jessie is forced to question everything she knows about the man she loves.
Yet the most shattering twist is still to come. Because what you care about most can be your biggest weakness.
For Blackthorn to survive, either Jessie or Eden will have to make the greatest sacrifice of all…
The thrilling penultimate story in the Blackthorn series will leave you breathless.

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

IF WE WERE RUNNING A ‘BLACKTHORN ALPHA SHOWDOWN’, WHO WOULD YOU VOTE FOR:
KANE, CALEB, JASK or EDEN?
That’s all you have to do! But if you tell me why you’ve chosen them, your name will be entered twice.
LEFT A REVIEW FOR BLOOD INSTINCT? YOU CAN ENTER THE BONUS ROUND!
I also have a third signed paperback put aside for an exclusive bonus round as an extra thank you to anyone who has left a review for Blood Instinct. Whether it be on Goodreads or on a retail site such as Amazon, just add where you’ve left your review at the end of your answer. Once the two winners of the giveaway have been drawn, your name will go back in for another chance to win.
THE RULES
For your entry to be valid you must either:
The giveaway is open now and will close on Monday 20th June at midnight (UK time).
Only one entry per person.
All entries will be allocated a number and winners will be selected using a random number generator. Two winners will be chosen from the main giveaway. After the first draw, numbers from the bonus round will go back in for a second chance to win.
All three winners will be announced here and on my Facebook page on Tuesday 21st June.

He was deemed the underdog from the outset, but Team Blackthorn was relentless. I’m thrilled to be able to tell you that our very own Kane Malloy has won Vampire Book Club’s Alpha Showdown 2016!! And he claimed the title with over 4,000 votes!!
In the words of Chelsea, owner of VBC:
“We haven’t had a surprise like this year’s Alpha Showdown in years. It’s official, a first-time contender has taken the title.
Congratulations to Kane Malloy from Lindsay J. Pryor’s Blackthorn series, your 2016 Alpha Showdown Champion!
It’s been a minute since a vampire held the title, and we’re so happy to welcome all the Blackthorn fans who came out in force for this master vampire. He beat former Alpha Showdown champion Barrons. BARRONS, y’all. And then won a second fierce battle against Kate Daniels. It’s impressive. He’s impressive.”
Thank you so much to everyone who came out to vote and show your support for Kane. To all my readers here, as well as across all my other social media; to my brilliant publisher who backed Blackthorn all the way; and to my exceptional street team who didn’t take their foot off the pedal from the second this showdown started – I can’t thank you enough. <3
Winning aside, events like these are all about having fun and finding fantastic new books to read in the PNR and UF genres – whether well-known global names such as the New York Times Bestsellers that Kane was up against, or relative newbies like Blackthorn and me. I’m loving all the recommendations being banded around across various social media as a result of this competition. So here’s a HUGE thank you too to Vampire Book Club for hosting the showdown.
I’ll be back tomorrow with some Blood Bound news as well as that giveaway I’ve been promising. I think it’s more fitting than ever now we have a little something extra to celebrate with!
See you then!

Team Blackthorn, you are beyond incredible! Kane made it to the final of Vampire Book Club’s Alpha Showdown!!
I was absolutely blown away by the support that came in for him during the 48 hours that the semi-finals were open. I put calls out here, on my Facebook page and all my other social media and, wow, did you step up to the mark! Votes came in from the UK, Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand and Europe (tell me if I’ve missed anywhere). In the end we got through with OVER 6000 votes!!!
A MASSIVE thank you to everyone who voted, commented and helped spread the word. <3
THE FINAL IS LIVE!
And now Kane needs you one more time. The final round of Vampire Book Club’s Alpha Showdown is LIVE – and it’s time for you to choose your champion for 2016!
He was deemed the underdog from the outset, but Team Blackthorn fought hard and relentlessly through three rounds to get our Kane Malloy to the final. Kane is now up against the mega-force that is Kate Daniels (created by #1 New York Times Bestseller Ilona Andrews) for the crown. It’s another tough one! Can he go all the way?
