Publisher's summary

A dangerous game of life, blood, and survival.... Marquis Silivasi is a loner, an ancient vampire known to be merciless, harsh, and unforgiving. He has lived to see his dark twin sacrificed, his parents hunted, and the one soul he was sworn to protect destroyed by his enemy. When a mysterious female with a secret past shows up in Dark Moon Vale, her presence sets off a strange set of events: It is as if she has awakened the sleeping soul of the valley... and the curse of Marquis's birth. Bound to each other by primeval law, the two must forge their way through an ever growing maze of danger, deception, and destiny. They must find salvation in a world without mercy, where survival demands a chilling blood awakening.

Emotional Roller Coaster

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The book does have a dark undertone, and not for the light hearted. However, regardless, I would still highly recommend this book to all my friends. As the headline hinted, I was emotionally drained and exhausted by the end of this book. The reason being because Ms. Tessa Dawn has pulled out all possible emotions out of me with this book: laughter, tears, cold sweat fear, heartache, frustration, anticipation, you name it!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hands down, Braden. His naive and humor never fails to make me smile and laugh out loud! No one could ever resist his charms.

What about Eric G. Dove’s performance did you like?

I owned and read the book before this audiobook. Mr. Eric Dove has done a fantastic job bringing this story to life, where he conveys the personalities of each character just as I imagined it in my head. Also, I never realized that I have been pronouncing "Marquis" incorrectly all along!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

"Powerful. Ominous. Yet, great anticipation waits ahead."
Never wrote a tag line before... So I highly doubt it describe this book as well as I want to.

Love It When My Favorites Come To Life!

Where does Blood Awakening rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The Blood Curse Series is among my favorites. I am completely invested in these characters and this world Tessa Dawn has created. In terms of content and narration...this book is among the best on Audible!

What other book might you compare Blood Awakening to and why?

Blood Awakening carries an intensity and passion similar to novels in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Tessa Dawn has created a unique brand of vampires with an equally unique origin.

What about Eric G. Dove’s performance did you like?

Once again, Eric breathed life into a fictional world that I simply love. His ability to give a unique voice to every character is amazing.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Not even the passage of time can defeat passion, love and destiny!

Warrior meets Royal Princess in Blood Awakening

If you could sum up Blood Awakening in three words, what would they be?

Danger, love, family are the three words that sum up Blood Awakening!

What did you like best about this story?

Imagine the pain & loneliness you would experience while awaiting your one & only true love for hundreds of years only to have that love torn from you by pure EVIL! Every skill that Marquis has as a warrior are put to the ultimate test in this book...along with those skills of his trusted brothers!

What about Eric G. Dove’s performance did you like?

Again, Eric's skill to bring the written word to life is amazing! I love how he is able to create voices for men & women alike as he brings each character to life!!!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

One of the more touching moments was when Marquis finally decided to bring Christina into his world as his destiny. You will need to read the book to discover this moment for yourself!

i'm in love with Marquis!

Where does Blood Awakening rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

At the TOP! So awesome to hear this book come to life.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Marquis! Absolutely blown away by this Alpha male. He reminds me of my very own Alpha.

What about Eric G. Dove’s performance did you like?

Loved hearing Ciopori and Marquis interact.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Without giving too much away I cried when Marquis had to make the sacrifice. OMG! Tore my heart out.

Any additional comments?

Ok, I'm hooked! Couldn't hardly put this book down. If you are ready for a grown version of twilight with a Dracula twist this series is for you. Can't wait to start the next book and look forward to more!

A BLOOD MOON(S) FOR MARQUIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where does Blood Awakening rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Not fair to Rate 'this' book against all others - Rather I would Rate this "Series" up there with the BDB, Midnight Breed, Immortal After Dark, Chicagoland Vampires, etc...

What other book might you compare Blood Awakening to and why?

Because the Series is so Different from other Vampire Series/Story's - I wouldn't know of a 'Similar' book/series to Compare it too!!!!!

What does Eric G. Dove bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

EVERYTHING - Thinking about it - Because this Series is a "Different" Type of Vampire Story that includes Ancient Gods, Magic, Evil Spirits, etc...I'm not so sure I would have been able to understand these books as well "AND" I'm not so sure the book 'alone' would have been able to keep my interest !!!!!!!!!!!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Not Sure; Brother against Brother - 'or' - Good vs. Evil - 'or' Marquis gets "2" Destiny'setc...??????

Any additional comments?

Just looking forward to the Next Book!!!!!I
