I began reading Blood Shadow and I didn’t expect to enjoy reading it but I did! So much so that I bought Blood Roses and Blood Torn. So far I’ve read Blood Roses and it’s gotten me excited to read the third book in the Blackthorn trilogy! Hopefully it will only be a trilogy for as long as it takes you to write a few more books to go with them!
Considering you didn’t expect to enjoy it, Pam, I’m really pleased you decided to give Blackthorn a try. Thank you! And I’m totally thrilled you have enjoyed it. Blood Deep will be out this year – and there are more to come. I hope you enjoy them all just as much. 🙂
Wow… Loved all 3 books! Can’t wait fir blood deep & what else is next to come. Would be great to see it on the big screen too. Be more intense than 50 shades of grey 😀 Great to see it all in action! Hope blood deep is out soon, so your books can occupy myself again (:
Hi Katie! I’m thrilled you’ve loved Blackthorn so far – thank you! Ah, the big screen would be fun indeed. You’ll have to tell me who you’d pick to play the roles some time. 😉 Blood Deep will be out later this year, so not too long to wait for your next instalment. Feel free to dive in with Kane, caleb or Jask again until then! 🙂
Well Lindsay, I can safely say I could make a list of known actors who’d appeal to women for these roles, however, I think new talent is needed to live up to the expectations of these blackthorn bad boys 😉 You’d have to give me an insight to whom you’d chose to play those roles? 😉 As for choosing 1 off those bad boys, I can’t resist but to dive in with all 3 again 🙂
Yay! Katie, you’ve inspired a post (and maybe another giveaway for the forthcoming weeks): picking actors for Blackthorn. I’m going to do some posts soon about each of the characters, so that could be a great conclusion. I agree that ideally we’d have some new talent but, hey, it’ll be fun choosing from what we have already! Sooo, get your thinking cap on and I will too. 😉 Oh and totally get diving in with all three again – not even I can choose between them! 😀
Definitely got my thinking cap going now 😉 Just a few names I wouldn’t mind seeing, but as to whom would play who, that’s a tough decision, hmm…
Christian Bale
Theo James
Paul Wesley
Ian somerhalder
Gerrard Butler
Jensen Ackles
Sean Faris
Chris Hemsworth
Although, I can definitely pick out two names who’d make a great match to play Jask 😉 Either Gerrard Butler or Chris Hensworth. However, I’m swaying more to Chris 😉
I’m liking some of your thinking there, Katie. Jensen Ackles – heck, yes! I don’t know what part for but I’ll find one! 😀 Someone else has mentioned Chris Hemsworth for Jask. I’m thinking Josh Holloway. And I’ve thought for a while now that Henry Cavill would make a great Kane. Thinking cap back on… X
Yes… Henry Cavil is a piece of eye candy 😉 I reckon he’d play Kane well… Especially with those blue eyes. They are to die for! 😀 As for Jensen he could always Jake 😉 That way we’d get to see him more. Unless I find a more fitting role within blood deep when it’s released 😉 x
I’m glad you agree with Henry, Katie. I’ve got a great pic of him in ‘Kane mode’. I’ll post it soon. And I know exactly what you mean about those eyes. *sigh* Jensen as Jake, hmmm… that means we’ll have to find someone suitable to play his older brother. I have failed so far but will keep looking! As for Blood Deep – I have a possible Eden tucked away on my Pinterest boards. I’ll disclose him soon too. 🙂 Xx
Eeeeeek… Lindsey, all this film & character talk is making me very excited, haha! I’ve seen a great pic of Henry too 😉 You shall most definitely have to post it soon & as for your Eden choice, I hope you don’t keep it secret for too long 😉 on the other hand, I’d quite happily like to see Theo James play Caleb – he’s played a great vampire part before, in underworld – awakening & lets not forget the most recent being divergent (sigh!) xx
My choice of pic is coming up any time now, Katie! (Eden to follow in a little while.) 🙂 And I’m making a note of all your suggestions too… 😉 Thank you!!
AMAZING, I just could not put the first book, Blood Shadows, down. I am now going to read Blood Roses. The story was just so heart wrenchingly thought provoking and the characters were complex, interesting, and deep. LOVED it.
Hi Annette. Thank you SO much! I’m thrilled you found Blood Shadows so moving – that means the world to me. My fingers are tightly crossed that you enjoy Blood Roses too – though I will warn you it’s a much darker trip!! Thanks hugely for your comment. 🙂
Thank you for writing such fabulous books can’t wait for the last book to come out and also quite sad that it is the last one. I have grown to like each and every character you have written about and feel like I will miss them when it’s all over. I read about a book a week and only found your books 2 weeks ago and have read all of them all. Keep up the good work. Hope to read more of your books in the future. Big fan.
Mac – thank you so much! It’s awesome to know my characters have had that kind of impact on you. Hopefully you’ll be pleased to know the series doesn’t end with book 4. Blood Deep introduces the fourth and final couple but the series is nowhere near over just yet – there’s much more to come. I really appreciate you getting in touch, and your support for my writing.
What great news!
I love it when I find a new series and then it’s all over and I’m on the hunt again, glad to hear there is more to come can’t wait to continue the journey with an excellent author and great characters.
Hi there 🙂 I love these books completely hooked on them! I may have swooned a little over Kane, Caleb and Jask, those boys are too hot to resist! Keep up the fabulous work 😀 looking forward to Blood Deep x
Hi Belinda! It’s awesome to know you’re hooked. 🙂 Only a little bit of swooning?? 😉 But seriously, thank you for your lovely comment – and your email too. I’m so pleased you’re looking forward to Blood Deep. Thanks for your support. X
Hey there I am loving this series of books they absolutely brilliant and cant wait for the next ones to come but don’t leave it too long ay!! Lol I love how everything is interlinked and how everything isn’t as straight forward in the books, theres lots of twists n turns and my heart was breaking for poor Leila in book 2 so keep up the good work but like I say don’t leave it too long like slyvia day has done with captivated by you
Thanks hugely, Sara! I’m thrilled you’re enjoying them! 🙂 Hmm, yes, Leila did have a bit of a tough time in book 2. Some of those scenes were tough to write.
Lol, I promise I won’t keep you waiting any longer than I have to for the next instalment – Summer 2015 for that one, and then not too long after that for the next one. 😉 Thanks so much for getting in touch!
Hi Lindsay, I love your books so far and recommended them to my friends. Great story overall and very cleverly connected without being overbearing. I love how the 2 main characters are always in a mental battle, and usually equally matched. The women are strong, I love that. My taste is hardly romantic, I usually lean more toward, dark paranormal, action packed, plenty of violence, funny, clever banters, and full of unusually wild sexual experiences, instead of just romance. Although, it may not be that kind of book necessarily, I look forward to reading about all 4 bad boys in action by the next few books. I feel as though I’ve heard of Kane’s deadly capabilities, but have yet to see him in full action. I got a glimpse of Caleb in action, and Jask was phenomenal. Eden also had some violent action, that was great, though i enjoyed his swagger even more. I’d love to see what Kane the master vamp is truly capable of. I read the sample for Blood Dark and I’m excited to see that rooftop action from Kane. On another note, I enjoyed the sex scenes, Kane & Caleb were my fav. I’d love to see more raw sexual experiences from these characters, some wild, and surprisingly arousing situations. I feel that Kane has so much potential in that department, especially since that’s what he promised Caitlyn, lol. These are just suggestions, please do what you feel is best, I trust your judgment. You’ve done a great job with these books. Thank you very much! Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Dodo! It’s always immense to have a reader love my books enough to recommend them – I really appreciate you doing that. There’s nothing like word of mouth. And thanks hugely for your comment/feedback and all the time you put into it. It’s always good for me to know what you enjoyed and what you’d love to see more of. You’re clearly itching to see our heroes in full-on action mode, as well as loads more of their capabilities revealed, which is brilliant. Don’t worry, it’s definitely coming! I’ve been on the edge of my seat for a long time wanting to share the next part of all their stories. I really hope you enjoy what’s to come. Fingers crossed!
Dear Lindsay,
I heard about your Blackthorn series from my client, Anne Flosnik. It is the best series I have read in a long time. I have truly falling in love with all the characters and it took me less than two weeks to read all four books. I purchased them through my kindle and had a hard time putting it down. I can’t wait for the next one to be released. I have even told a few people about them that I know. Keep up the great work. I am working on getting the audio books so I can hear Anne read them and put voices to each person. I can’t wait to read what happens next.
Jennifer
Jennifer, thank you SO much! I’m thrilled Blackthorn has gripped you. Anne is wonderful, isn’t she? I’m really flattered she told you about my books and I really appreciate that you are now spreading the word too. I hope you enjoy the audio versions – Anne has done a terrific job. Thanks for taking time out to comment and share your thoughts. Fingers crossed you enjoy Blood Dark just as much. Take care. 🙂
Have just finshed reading blood dark can’t tell you how much I loved it and the other 4 please hurry and finish the next one can’t wait love them so much my favourite read 😀😀😀
That’s SO good to know – thanks hugely, Linda! Sorry for my delay in replying but I’ve been following strict instructions and getting on with Blood Instinct so I don’t have to keep you waiting any longer than is necessary. 😉 And it’s just wonderful to know Blackthorn is your favourite read. That has made my day. <3
I stumbled on the Blackthorn series by accident. Once I started reading them I couldn’t put them down. The series is the best series I have read in a long time. It is a great story that is tied together very cleverly. I can’t wait to see what comes next.
Wow, thanks hugely, Laura – that’s quite the compliment! I’m delighted you’ve enjoyed Blackthorn so much, and that you’re looking forward to more. I’ll have Blood Instinct with you as soon as I can. Thanks for taking the time to comment! 🙂
Hi Lindsay,
I have just finished Blood Instinct. That was an amazing read. I can’t wait to read how everything turns out in Blackthorne. You have me ready to read your next book when it’s finished. I can’t wait. I am always talking about your books to people and how much I love them. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed it – and that you’re looking forward to more. 🙂 It’s brilliant to know you talk to people about my books too. That’s such a compliment. I really appreciate you doing that. I hope you enjoy the last couple of Blackthorn books as much as you have the others.
I have just read the entire blackthorn series and I honestly cannot wait for the last book and see if Caleb and Leila get their HEA. I so hope they do. I found I that i got very emotionally invested in these characters. I really liked the tension between the characters Kane and Caitlin, its my favourite of all the storylines … but I really liked the chemistry and story between Caleb and Leila.
Is there mailing list that I can join to find out when your next book is due for release?
Thank you hugely for your lovely comment, Liss. It’s wonderful to hear how invested you are in our Blackthorn team – whether for the tension or the chemistry. I’m working on the finale as we speak.
As for your question about the mailing list, you have two options:
If you would like advance notification of when it’s available for preorder, be a part of cover reveals, giveaways, posts I’ll be writing in the lead up to its release etc, you can sign up to my blog. All you need to do is subscribe via the sidebar under that same link above.
Any problems, let me know. Thanks so much for supporting my series. <3
I kinda like stumbled upon blood dark, the cover was interesting so I decided to read. The first chapter was so good that I needed to read the previous books. Dude I’ve never read anything like it, blood shadows excited me beyond words, but blood roses literally blew my mind, I fell in love with the couple, and I’ve been reading non stop since then. Now I am reading blood deep all the books are amazing, but I am a little disappointed that Caleb and Leila show up, I feel like all the other couples receive way much more attention than they do, and from the recent events iam starting to worry that maybe there will not be a happy ending to them. It is so sad, I love the way you write, saying that you are talented doesn’t cover the real thing, after reading your books I feel like twilight and the vampire diaries are a joke (no offense, I am a fan too), it’s amazing how you managed the make a catastrophic situation worse by each passing second, it’s ingenious! I really hope that Caleb can pick the right side. Your amazing, I am obsessed with the books
I am crazy, I forget to say that phia jokes, and jask responses are hilarious, I love their humor, Caitlyn temporary death was gut wrenching, kane reaction super cute, I also love Eden cockiness, my favorite couple is Caleb and Leila but, the four couples are amazing. Blackthorn is the best series I ever read, and I read a lot of books.
