Within just a few pages of reading "BLOODED [Anunnaki Rising]" I was swept up in this amazingly vivid and captivating tale that mixes mythology with reality, fantasy with supernatural and talented storytelling with a truly imaginative plot. Lyn Murray weaves a fantastical story about elusive, seductive and deadly creatures that to humans are little more than a legend, but that pose a real threat and a driving mystery that has far reaching dangers and possibilities that have just begun to unfold. The plot is richly steeped in ancient mythos of vampires, immortals and gods, using the tales and mysteries that have captivated humans for eons to build a driving story that sucks you in from the very first page and leaves you thirsting for more at the end of the first novel in the series.The writing is elegant, descriptive, wondrously rich in detail and backstories, pulls you along with teasing glimpses into the larger plot of The Blooded Saga series, and overall leaves you utterly transfixed in this mystical world of blood, death, mysticism, violence, seduction and intrigue that certainly doesn't disappoint. I found myself pulled into the writing, eagerly flipping from page to page with bated breath, waiting to see what was going to happen next, how this wonderfully written novel would move along. It was a great start to the series and thoroughly captivated and entertained me to the very end. I'm really eager to see what else the author has in store for The Blooded Saga and will be anxiously waiting for the next book in the series!
