Blood Will Tell Warriors of Ankh #1 Samantha Young 9781463565008 Books

Coming from a long line of soul-sucking serial killers has it's perks. I mean it's not like anyone in her household is going to frown upon a little bullying, or homicidal thoughts, the money's good, and you don't need to look any further than your psychopathic first cousin for a future fiance. Yes, that's life in a nutshell for Eden Winslow.

Your normal everyday outcast, Eden avoids human contact whenever possible trying to keep her inner monster at bay. But sometimes her frustrations get the best of her and her overwhelming need to help the less fortunate. The Winslows are soul eaters. Most of the Blessed, as they call themselves, only take a part of the soul, others like Eden's father and cousin take and torture all of a soul leaving only the husk of a battered body behind. Eden's only salvation is her big bro Stellan.

That is until she meets Noah. They become fast friends, but Eden's desire for her bestie runs deeper than a potential romance, he has awakened her hunger. And Eden's determined not to give into her inner soul sucker. Her internal struggle is painful, wanting to eat souls yet not wanting to hurt people. And Eden doesn't think she can take that final step in her transition to full blown Blessed, taking a whole soul, killing a human.

But Noah's not your run of the mill human that Eden thinks, he's on assignment and determined to save Eden's soul.

Normally when I pick up an indie I expect it to be ruff around the sentences. But Samantha Young's Blood Will Tell was a nicely written story. The mythology of Blessed, Neith, and Ankh was a great escape from the more populated greek interpretations occupying shelves today. It's a nice YA that has dashes of familiar Adult PNR trends. Warriors of Ankh reminds me of a young adult version of the Black Dagger Brotherhood and other novels like it because of the structure of Noah and Eden's relationship, and the interesting storyline behind it, but without the extremely mature content.

The blood may tell, but the writing speaks for itself. This is a great read.

Blood Will Tell Warriors of Ankh #1 Samantha Young 9781463565008 Books Reviews

4 stars -- WOW. This one starts off with a really dark bang in the prologue. I found myself all kinds of intrigued by a heroine who lives with the evil people, and is aware of the evil things that are done in her home everyday. It just felt very unique to me. And you could really feel all the struggles that Eden was going through, growing up how she did but not having the same overwhelming urges that the rest of her family had. There was a lot of internal struggling going on in Eden's mind too, particularly after the "hunger" was awoken. I couldn't imagine what that must have been like to live with.

I found the relationship with her brother to be epically intriguing. They had such a strange relationship given their upbringing. And seeing Stratton have those dark urges, but try to quell them because of his love for his sister? I just couldn't figure out what to think. I mean, I actually really liked him and the way he protected Eden, so it made the whole thing so much more shades of gray if that makes any sense. I mean, he's a guy who is genuinely tempted by "the dark side", and yet because of how he feels for Eden, it actually gives him some sense of guilt...like he wants to be better for her. It kind of broke my heart and got to me in a way I wasn't expecting.

On the other side of things we have Noah, part of the "good side", and yet I wasn't always that impressed with him. As I'm beginning to notice in Ms. Young's paranormal series, there really isn't a strong romance aspect...it's really more about the building of the paranormal world and the conflict that arises in each. Personal preference? I miss the romance. I'm used to reading these series and having a hero to root for and make into a book boyfriend, and we didn't really get that in Noah. I mean, he has a girlfriend for part of it, and is conflicted on his feelings for Eden and whether he's disgusted by her (even though he's spent 6 months getting to know her). So that part was kind of disappointing. I wanted more from Noah I guess.

The paranormal world is intriguing though -- very different, though it still had that infodump feel to it as I've experienced in her other series. And I enjoyed the backstory of her birth (even if it was seriously disturbing), and I'm liking Cyrus so far. We really didn't get to see much of the Ankh side, so I'm hoping the next books give us a better glimpse of them.

I was really surprised by some of the twists that came during her awakening -- I can honestly say I didn't see some of that coming, and so I'm curious who the big bad is going to be, and I'm saddened for the loss of one of the characters.

The strength of this book (and series) so far is definitely in Eden, and all the conflict she experiences (mostly internal). I'm looking forward to seeing where this one goes...
