The Blood Keeper The Blood Journals Tessa Gratton Books

It's a book that any young-adult, who likes the paranormal, wouldn't put down. It was a page turner. However, it didn't get a fifth star from me because I it didn't go along with the first book. None the less, good read.

The Blood Keeper The Blood Journals Tessa Gratton Books Reviews

Poetically haunting, gorgeous prose, and unseen magic in the natural world provide a fantastic sequel to Book I, BLOOD MAGIC.

From my opening statement, you can probably conclude the direction my opinion of this book will go. It. Was. Awesome. And for many reasons.

At the onset, Mab seemed torn, struggling to figure out herself, her family, and her purpose in life. The difference from this natural teenage mental battle was Mab's real struggle revolved around strange roses that could not be destroyed. First impression of Mab was creepy, which I personally liked. The scene permeated in eerie fog, but teased my curiosity to continue reading. She was just plain interesting, strange, and different. And although the story's beginnings were slow - at least for me, I soon recognized the need for such a start. Gratton had to give the reader a large amount of information in order to properly set up the story.

As facts fed me, a picture of nature's invisible mist and magic blotted to the surface, posing questions of nature itself and what might truly be there that we ignore everyday. It wasn't long before I honestly couldn't put the book down.

This tale was superbly written. A story within a story, love story within a love story, and a mystery within a mystery purposely mingled throughout the pages to bring the past to the present and the future to new possibilities. Elements were strategically revealed through three POV characters, who gave interesting views of nature's magic and the world it creates. Mab and Will shared their world of the present, while a mysterious third party unearthed the past and history of the land Mab lived on.

I got a completely different feel for the story, depending on which point-of view I was seeing through - Mab or Will's. Mab covered the odd and almost ominous sense and subjects, while Will felt easy, average, and normal. Opposites attract, right?

And in closing after reading The Blood Keeper and discovering it was book II in a series, I went out and bought book I, BLOOD MAGIC. I did not regret that purchase.
Received from NetGalley for an honest review. (better late than never?)

A long time ago I requested The Blood Keeper on Netgalley. I never read it. / Sad story but what happened was, I pushed it off all summer till it was closer to Halloween. Then we went on a big trip and there was just no time. After Halloween I had no interest. It sucks and I feel bad, but this year I decided I was gonna finally make good on it and get it done.

I say that like I had to force myself to pick this book up and that's just not the case. You see, these witches are blood witches. Super creepy and they just oooze Halloween feels. They are the perfect books to read this time of year. So any other month just wouldn't do.

The Blood Keeper is actually a sequel/companion to Blood Magic. I loved Blood Magic. I made a Sim trailer for it about 2 years ago.

I would say The Blood Keeper is definitely more of a companion because though it does take place after Blood Magic, it follows different characters. Have no fear though, you do get to see what's going on with Nick and Silla From Blood Magic. These books are probably best to read in order, but they are so their own stories, that reading them apart wouldn't hurt much I don't think. If I had read this one first I probably would pick up Blood Magic next just so I could see what really went down.

Tessa Gratton has this way about her writing. I took my time with it. If I had to say her writing style was most like any other Author I've read, I would say Maggie Stiefvater. It just has that beautiful lyrical feel about it and it's the type of book that doesn't need to be all over the place with action constantly. I just loved it so much but I'll admit that this style can me a bit of an acquired tasted and even I have to be in the mood for it.

Much like Blood Magic, there is a past story that Gratton switches back and forth to. I adore that. Once again the present and the past meet up perfectly and it was just so fun trying to figure out as the story went, what was really going on. I think I liked this back story even more than the one told in Blood Magic.

The point of views switch between Will and Mab. Their worlds come crashing together in a way neither one of them could have predicted. I adored Mab. I felt for her. She's young and has such responsibility on her shoulders. I loved how brave and smart she was. Yes, she made mistakes but she fixed them, and learned from them.

If you are looking for a witch story with a different spin than most, The Blood Journals are it. This one spooked the hell out of me and I loved every second of it. <3
The book is really more geared to younger people with teenage romance woven around magic and bloodlines. This is more for the readers of the Twilight books than the mature reader. However, it was good fun and I didn't abandon it like I do many books that just aren't good enough to read
Perfect
Didn't even mind the Christianity - loved the gory transformational magic. Characters are all interesting. Liked the glimpse into the military family.
It's a book that any young-adult, who likes the paranormal, wouldn't put down. It was a page turner. However, it didn't get a fifth star from me because I it didn't go along with the first book. None the less, good read.
