We have a special presentation, a first for this site. My lovely friend from Mama Kitty Reviews has created a video review of Blood Rights! I think she did a FANTASTIC job with it… here’s what she thought…

I don’t generally post the blurbs from the books, because you can find those in so many places. HOWEVER, since it played such a big part in the interest for this book, I’ll make an exception. Here’s the blurb:

The lacy gold mapped her entire body. A finely-wrought filigree of stars, vines, flowers, butterflies, ancient symbols and words ran from her feet, up her legs, over her narrow waist, spanned her chest and finished down her arms to the tips of her fingers.

Born into a life of secrets and service, Chrysabelle’s body bears the telltale marks of a comarré—a special race of humans bred to feed vampire nobility. When her patron is murdered, she becomes the prime suspect, which sends her running into the mortal world…and into the arms of Malkolm, an outcast vampire cursed to kill every being from whom he drinks.

Now Chrysabelle and Malkolm must work together to stop a plot to merge the mortal and supernatural worlds. If they fail, a chaos unlike anything anyone has ever seen will threaten to reign.

Ok… so… what do you think of the video review?? Something we should do more of?? I think it was really fun, and I think Mama Kitty did a lovely job. :-)

Question:: How important are the cover and the blurb to deciding to read a book? Is it more or less important than word of mouth?? More or less important than other reviews? Have you ever read and loved a book with a really BAD cover?? I have an ARC copy of Blood Rights for one random commenter!!!! So… let’s talk book covers and blurbs, and I’ll choose a winner on October 1st!! Please remember to include your first name and email address so I can reach you if you win. Good luck!!
