review 1: Blood Magic, the first book in Zoey Sweete's Draven Witch series, is an appealing paranormal story, in which the reader finds witch/vampire hybrid Renee Draven hunted by Damaskeos, an Original vampire . Zoey Sweete uses this first installment to document the history between the Draven witch family and the evil Damaskeos, allowing the reader to understand the power held by Renee and preparing us for the mental and physical battles ahead. Blood Magic has relentless pace, compelling the reader to continue with the book until it's end. Although Renee isn't the most like-able heroine she does know how to kick-ass using her advancing magical skill.Renee's love life is complicated, torn between demon-hunter Tristan, werewolf William and Dante, the vampire meant to bite her and a... morewaken her blood-drinking side. These three men are all strong, protective and powerful but ultimately Renee's mate will be chosen by the blood bond. I enjoyed the story, it's action and mix of paranormal characters and think Zoey Sweete's accessible writing will suit many readers.
review 2: I was enchanted by the cover of this book and couldn’t wait to start reading it. I can’t say that I haven’t read similar plot lines before, but I did find this one quite enjoyable and incredibly entertaining. This was an action-packed, exhilarating read with loads of surprising twists. I especially liked the fast pace at which the story moved and nowhere did I get the feeling that the plot was being dragged out. All the characters were very well developed and focus was placed on the strong bonds between Renee and her parents I believe helped shape the person she became by the end of the book and which also gave her the strength and confidence to conquer the dangers she was forced to face. What I enjoyed most about “Blood Magic” is that the main character is a powerful female lead who doesn’t need men to fight her battles for her. With her magic and fighting skills she is a force to be reckoned with, yet she also has a vulnerable side to her that invokes empathy from the reader. Her courage, tenacity and strong morals make her a character to be admired. But at the same time, I also felt that she needed to lighten up, get a sense of humor and stop behaving like a brat.Tons of good and evil supernatural entities are introduced throughout the book, and the suspense keeps building to breaking point as Renee faces off against one malevolent character after another. A good balance was brought to these characters with the Mystics, whom I simultaneously liked and disliked. My absolute favorite character of course was Tristan. I just adored his sense of humor and sarcasm!“Blood Magic” is the first book in a fabulous new series which promises its readers hours of undiluted reading bliss. The superb writing, magnificent characters and heart-stopping action will have you battling to hold on to the edge of your seat as this book takes your imagination to new dimensions, and which makes it a definite 4 star must-read! less
