EL NUEVO FENÓMENO DEL THRILLER GÓTICO Una poderosa saga familiar. Un oscuro viaje al Mississipi y al Oviedo de finales del siglo XIX. «Atrapa e incomoda: las claves del thriller y el noir laten con fuerza en La sangre». --Susana Martín Gijón «García Ballesteros nos enfrenta a nuestra naturaleza más oscura. Crea una trama perturbadora y asfixiante y la alimenta de todas aquellas pulsiones humanas que pueden sacar lo mejor y lo peor de cada uno». --Óscar Reboiras, autor de El caso Salgueiro Nueva Orleans, 1897. Es la popular noche de Mardi Gras, y Alexander Le Bois, heredero de una de las familias más importantes de la ciudad, empieza a manifestar unos extraños síntomas durante el gran baile celebrado en Ópera Francesa. Isabella, su joven esposa nacida en Cuba y criada en Oviedo, busca desesperadamente ayuda y solo encuentra a Markus, un médico negro sin mucho crédito ni acceso a la medicina reservada a los blancos. Cuando la misteriosa dolencia de Alexandre empieza a difundirse sin piedad por Nueva Orleans, el inspector Morgan De Sanctis y el doctor Schmidt, responsable del control de epidemias, sospechan que el mal no afecta a todos por igual. Pero nadie imagina que tras su avance se oculta una verdad más oscura y aterradora que cualquier enfermedad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE NEW PHENOMENON IN GOTHIC THRILLERSA powerful family saga. A dark journey to Mississippi and Oviedo at the end of the 19th century. "García Ballesteros makes us confront our darkest beings. He creates a disturbing, suffocating plot and feeds it with all those human impulses capable of bringing out the best and worst in each of us." --Óscar Reboiras, author of El caso Salgueiro New Orleans, 1897. It is the popular night of Mardi Gras, and Alexander Le Bois, heir to one of the most important families in the city, begins to show strange symptoms during the grand ball held at the French Opera. Isabella, his young wife born in Cuba and raised in Oviedo, desperately seeks help and finds only Markus, a black doctor with little credibility or access to medicine reserved for whites. When Alexandre's mysterious illness begins to spread mercilessly throughout New Orleans, Inspector Morgan De Sanctis and Dr. Schmidt, responsible for controlling epidemics, suspect that the disease does not affect everyone equally. But no one imagines that behind its spread lies a truth darker and more terrifying than any disease.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love.
I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.
