Product Description
DANTE LIVES.
Vampire. Rock star. Begotten son of the fallen angel Lucien. Dante Baptiste still struggles with nightmares and seizures, searching for the truth about his past. It is a quest as seductive as his kiss, as uncontrollable as his thirst, and as unforgiving as his determination to protect one mortal woman at any cost.
KNOWLEDGE KILLS.
FBI Special Agent Heather Wallace now knows the extent of the Bureau corruption that surrounds her, but worries she is losing the battle. And when Dante and his band Inferno come to Seattle on tour, Heather can't help but be drawn back to the beautiful, dangerous nightkind. But what Heather and Dante don't know is that new enemies lurk in the shadows, closer than they think...and even deadlier than they fear.
DESTINY UNFOLDS.
Shadowy government forces have pledged to eliminate all loose ends from Project Bad Seed -- and Heather and Dante are at the top of the list. Elsewhere, the Fallen gather in Gehenna, intent on finding their long-awaited savior, the True Blood nightkind whom Lucien DeNoir would die to protect. And a damaged and desperate adversary, with powers as strange and perilous as Dante's own, plots to use Dante as a pawn in a violent scheme for revenge. But only one of these lethal forces holds the key to Dante's past -- a key that could finally unlock the secret of his birth and the truth of his existence...or destroy him completely.

In The Blood Delivers A Rush,
By
This review is from: In the Blood (Paperback)
After being apart for months, Dante Baptiste and Heather Wallace find themselves together again in Heather's hometown of Seattle, with their enemies right behind them. But while fighting the forces determined to control Dante, each of them must also fight their own internal battles.Heather must decide if it is safer remaining with the FBI or get out before they decide she is a loose end that needs tying up. She also knows she must finally decide which emotion is stronger, her love for Dante or her fear. Dante still can't remember his past. His migraine attacks have gotten worse and more frequent, and now he also suffers from seizures. While his love for Heather pulls him to her, it also tells him she is safer without him. And Dante isn't ready to deal with the betrayal he feels from Lucien, someone he considered to be his most trusted friend. Yet, through it all, Lucien is determined to keep Dante hidden and safe. He is willing to sacrifice everything for Dante. Even their relationship and his own life. In The Blood is even more gripping than Adrian Phoenix's first novel, A Rush of Wings. As the second book in The Maker's Song series, In The Blood provides the reader with a more in depth look at the characters, their relationships, and their past. All the while, Ms. Phoenix's talent weaves the underlying themes of family and hope seamlessly into the story, giving the reader a sense of familiarity and belonging. Even through the fantastical elements the reader can identify with the heroes and heroines, elevating the story to one of the best in the genre. Start off the New Year right and get yourself a copy of In The Blood, available December 30, 2008.

The Maker's Awakening,
By Kathy E. "Kathy" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: In the Blood (Paperback)
Wow, this installment was fantastic! Heather and Dante reconnect and their bond is stronger than ever! There was a lot going on but everything tied into each other nicely. Turns out, Dante's childhood programming and abuse go all the way to the top. Many people have seen the dvd footage of how Dante "unmade" Joanna Moore in the last book. Several people are now pursuing him for their own devious needs. In the middle of all this, The FBI has decided to capture and study Heather for proof of the healing Dante had performed on her, without using his Nightkind blood. Slowly Dante's fragile mental state is unraveling and he is quickly reaching his breaking point. Heather seems to be the one constant that can calm and focus him. We finally get to meet Annie, Heather's troubled sister. We also learn more about Heather's parents and the death of her mom. The Fallen have captured Lucien and are aware that there is a new Maker on earth. Their goal for the Maker seems to be similar to the humans; captivity, use and torture. Dante's mental wall of pain and confusion seems to be crumbling and he is learning more about his past and those who were party to his programming. I won't go into too much more detail, but suffice it to say, Dante finally get's a chance to wield some revenge. Adrian did a nice job of weaving the different sides of the story into each other. I highly recommend this book and series. I also look forward to the next book Beneath the Skin.I also recommend: Nightwalker (Dark Days, Book 1) Dead Reign At Grave's End (Night Huntress, Book 3) Staked (Void City, Book 1) Magic to the Bone 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Too many loose ends,
By R. Stevens - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In the Blood (Paperback)
Even though I love the main characters, this book wasn't nearly as well written as the first and the character development was a little shabby.For one, I thought there were too many different character point of views that weren't really needed. Plus, a lot of the characters introduced weren't offered any sort of explanation and I got a little confused at times with the way the author kept switching from first, last and whole names. It was quite annoying. I also didn't like the way the book didn't really solve any of the main issues. It felt like the dreaded middle book a lot of trilogies have. None of the questions about Wallace's mother were answered and left us with the huge cliff hanger regarding Lucien and the other fallen. I find it almost disrespectful when an author leaves so many loose ties. As long as the writing is good and the story line interesting, I will keep reading. I don't need to be strung along and that's how I feel when I think about this book. That being said, I will definitely give the next book a shot and hopefully won't be too disappointed. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

A little confusing,
By Kt from A Book Obsession.. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In the Blood: Book Two of the Maker's Song (Mass Market Paperback)
Heather was determined to keep her nose down and act like she didn't know anything she shouldn't, but the bureau didn't buy it and she was placed at the top of the hit list along with Dante. When Dante comes to Seattle on tour and the two meet, things get a little hairy as they constantly get targeted. An unlikely suspect also is plotting to get a hold of Dante for their own agenda, perhaps the worst one yet. It's becoming harder and hard to discern friend from foe, and Dante and Heather must stick together if they are going to have any chance at survivalI knew that Heather and Dante wouldn't be able to stay away from each other for very long. The attraction between them is incredible, and whether either one of them realizes it or not, they both are falling head over heels in love. It amuses me how blind they both are, but I think in the end they will wind up together. It's is just going to take some determination on their part to stick together in spite of everyone else seeming to plot against them. It was pretty hard to keep track of who was who, and whose side each person was on, especially with the constant shifting of perspectives. There were so many different angles going on that at some point I just resolved myself to assume everyone but a very select few are out to get them. It was a little easier that way because they all seemed to have their own secret objectives and reasons for wanting Dante and/or Heather. By the end of the book it was a little bit more clear who was who, but even then it was still a little confusing. All in all I enjoyed the book, even more so once I stopped trying to remember what each opposing person's agenda was. Hopefully things will become a little more clear in the next book as the factions against the two of them show themselves. I also hope the point of view will not switch around quite as much, as that will really lessen a lot of the confusion as well. I really love the main characters, and I hope to see more of them together in the next book. |
