My Star Rating for Forbidden Blood: 4 1/2 stars out of 5! :)My ‘Blogging Reader’s Review’ after reading ‘Forbidden Blood' by Authors R.L. Kenderson (via: Booksmoviesfandoms.wordpress.c o m):*May contain a few hints of Spoilers*Upon receiving an ARC early-copy of ‘Forbidden Blood’ by R.L. Kenderson, I was very intrigued to see how the story unfolded after having read the synopsis for it.  I’ve read many vampire related novels before and was honestly hoping for a nice twist to ‘vampires’ and not the usual same-old ‘traditional vampire’ story.  I’m excited to let readers know that this story is not the traditional vampire story and has many entertaining facets. For those like me, who enjoy multiple P.O.V.’s(point of views) while reading a story, you’ll like this. There are nine P.O.V.’s throughout the novel, which include: Naya, Vaughn, Arianna, Kenzie,  Payton, Damien, Celeste, Dwyer and an mystery ‘Shifter’ enemy.Princess Anaya ‘Naya’ Kensington, is not your typical royalty.  She lives in St. Paul, Minnesota and is set to become Queen, once her parents step down and will lead the vampire species.  She has chocolate dark brown hair, violet colored-eyes and is beautiful with unique features.  Naya lives her life at night, sleeps in the day and only feeds from female family vampires when hunger comes. She’s decided to continue to follow her parent’s wishes for her but she still tries to do a few things of her very own.  She volunteers at an animal shelter and when she can, she goes out with her human best friend Kenzie that she met at college.One night, Naya decides to take a risk and go out to the new human nightclub, Club Pulse with Kenzie.  Kenzie is a free spirit, the opposite of Naya’s usually reserved personality.  Once there, Kenzie begins flirting, while Naya just people-watches.  Quickly, the night begins to turn into something else.  Naya’s keen vampire senses, can feel that someone is watching her.  She can’t find her watcher but she feels him there, somewhere in the club.  Naya has no idea how much she does not know about what exists in the world around her, thanks to how much her royal parents have sheltered her.  But on this night, her life will be changed after a chance encounter and deciding to satisfy her need to try something different.Vaughn Llewelyn could be described as one very hot, tall, dark haired, blue-eyed, man with a sexy defined body that would make most women melt.  The only thing about Vaughn, is that he lives in a world where he must keep certain secrets about himself from others.  He has never gotten close with any females beyond satisfying his sexual needs. That was the case until meeting her. One night of temptation, pleasure and forbidden desires, a bond is made.  Vaughn expected it to only be a one-night-stand with someone that he knew he should’ve never had.  But something about her made him want to be protective of her, pull her close and make her his.  Even if it is only for one night, he wasn’t about to deny what he wanted and needed no matter.  By giving in, his life will be altered beyond his wildest expectations.To add to the entertaining storyline of ‘Forbidden Blood’, there happens to be other species called ‘Shifters’ walking around beyond the vampires and humans. But they are not only what you would suspect.  They’ve all lived separately but only the leaders seem to be aware of each existing species.  Since not everyone is aware of the existence of certain species’, issues occur that will change the worlds of everyone involved and those around them. To top it off, there is someone or something out there, trying to cause more mayhem while seeking their vengeance.  What will Naya do with the drastic changes in her life and can she juggle her duties as future Queen? Can Vaughn share his secret with the one he feels an overwhelming need to protect and love? Who isn’t safe and who can be trusted?This story is definitely full of twists and engaging characters. If you love a story with entertaining Alpha-males, you’ll enjoy this story. It’s very sexy and keeps you interested in finding out what will come next.  I do recommend this debut novel from this new series.  There is a conclusion to an important part of the story but there are questions left unanswered in preparation for the next novels in the ‘Forbidden Series.’  I will definitely be looking forward to the future novels of this series.  Great debut novel series Ranae and Lara!My Star Rating for 'Forbidden Blood' is 4 1/2 out of 5 stars! :)Visit my Blog to see character photos of how I imagined them while reading & Memorable lines from FORBIDDEN BLOOD.
