Review 1: Innocent Blood audiobook by Debora Snyder

good storyline

I’ve enjoyed the series thus far – down to the last book. The only thing I have not liked is the narration. I always hate to critique a narrator, because it just may be a particular series. Unfortunately, in this case the narrator does not make the book … only the storyline keeps me coming back. Not sure I would have kept on listening if this wasn’t a series.

Review 2: Innocent Blood audiobook by Jen Beth

I have a hard time giving a Rollins book less than four stars. He seems to be taking on co-writing now, which I suspect means that he does less of the exercise of writing and more supervision over plot, but given the way the books in this series with Rebecca Cantrell are turning out, I’m okay with that.

The primary conceit of the Sanguines series is that there is an order of vampires, dating back to Lazarus, who serve the Church and protect the world from all manner of supernatural evil. If Rollins wasn’t attached to that premise, I’d probably laugh it off, but he and Cantrell manage to spin a pretty good yarn about these characters and the humans who assist them in the epic battle between good and evil. Naturally, there is a prophecy to be fulfilled, and you never know which Biblical personalities are lurking around in the present day. All of James Rollins’s books stretch the limits of the reader’s imagination. You either go with it or you don’t. If you suspend disbelief, you’re in for a great ride.

Innocent Blood seemed to wrap up many of the loose ends from The Blood Gospel, which leads me to believe that this may be only a trilogy rather than an entire series, but at this point, I’m certainly on board for the journey.

Review 3: Innocent Blood audiobook by Kate

In Innocent Blood, James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell have achieved the remarkable. They have created a sequel worthy of one of my favourite thrillers of the year,  The Blood Gospel (Order of the Sanguines) . And in short order, too, for which I’m especially grateful. This is not a type of world in which I’m normally comfortable – vampires, monsters, angels, warrior priests, immortals walk through these pages but while this would normally put me off, Rollins and Cantrell have the ability to ground them in reality. Jordan and Erin, our entirely human heroes, albeit touched by something else, are completely believable characters and their struggle to comprehend this alternative world that they have been pulled into helps the reader to do just the same. Equally important is the way that the characters, whether good or evil, have been given complex motivations and inspirations.

Innocent Blood is a supernatural, mystical thriller that sends shivers down the spine while keeping you hanging on to every word. The action pounds along from start to finish, racing through countries, all wonderfully described. It is beautifully and carefully written, both authors working together perfectly. Its twists are powerful and the atmosphere is extraordinarily rich and consuming. This is storytelling at its best and now one of my very favorite thriller series.
