About this listen

They're destined to fall in love... if they don't kill each other first.

Violet “Vy” Finch
is a vampire cursed, for the very blood she needs is poison to her. Suffering unquenchable hunger and shunned for being of mixed lineage, Vy searches desperately for her mother who disappeared over a decade ago—the one person who may be able to heal her. Unfortunately, a great sorceress prophesies that Vy will only get what she wants if Petra Malkovitch willingly works with her to find a magical relic with the power to change everything.

Petra Malkovitch is an assassin. A member of the Order of Light—a shadowy organization that hunts supernatural creatures for profit—she wants only to kill the vampire who took away the last of her family. When Petra's attempt on Vy's life is thwarted, she is shocked when her greatest enemy tells her that they can rewrite their pasts if they team up.

But is a common goal enough to bring them together, or will betrayal happen at the earliest opportunity?

Blending the adventure and magic of Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson books, the wit and enchantment of Ilona Andrews’ Magic Bites series, and the soul-stirring romance of Laurell K. Hamilton’s Guilty Pleasures novels, Born of Blood and Magic is a thrilling, fun, sexy, urban fantasy unlike anything you’ve ever listened to before.

This is a fantastic rollercoaster ride of betrayal, half bloods, vamps and the wrath of mothers. The storyline was exciting and clever and I loved it. 💖
With It's Excellent narration that was captivating and a pure joy to listen to, I wanted more and more. 🎶

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.

Overall, this was a fun listen to but some minor issues with the plot and some moment of pure "ok there is some plot armour and for the story" moment that kind of made me want to stop.

This is a set up book for sure, worldbuilding is good enough to keep me invested.

However, Laura Horowitz saves a lot of it with her performance in delivering some of the less than good moments. Vy and Petra chemistry is decent and there are some good enemies to lovers' moments that did make me smile.

There is some spice so not something to listen to for the spice factor.

Fun and enjoyable overall the ending got me and i will most likely get the next book.
