Marcus and Mandubratius are foes that are now immortal blood drinkers from two different lines. They both seek an artifact, that in the wrong hands, can tip the power scales to favor the more villainous. Marcus is a former Roman soldier who you could come to respect and Mandubratius is a Briton you'd come to loath. This book takes place in the time frame of hundreds of years. There are a lot of new people and mystical beings introduced along the way and I did find myself getting confused as ...more

I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. Morrigan's Brood is about vampires. That word is actually never used--they're called blood drinkers. I enjoyed the story; it's different from other vampire books. There are several "lines" or families of blood drinkers, each started by a god or goddess. They each have different talents and weaknesses and they don't get along with each other.
The story starts at the time of Julius Caesar and spans over 500 years. Many of ...more

Morrigan's Brood is a highly promising start to the series. Whilst the first few chapters are somewhat slow to get going, it is well worth sticking with it and paying attention to all the background being laid down, because when the action begins in earnest, it is entrancing!

A very exciting first chapter leads me to believe this will eventually be a great series. I will definately keep reading as they come out because the story really started picking up towards the end. It was a little slow thru the next few chapters when then spend a great deal of time on historical references and two mens lives in and around ancient Roman/Ceasar battles. However, all of the history of these two mens lives and battles are important to the plot and it is worth getting thru. I loved ...more
I recieved these book when i won Book 3 in a good reads contest. I have to say i really enjoyed this book and the story line. It is not like most blood drinking books. I also enjoy the history that weaved into it.
I'm excited to read these books! I love Fantasy books, especially when they have vampires in them! :) Just waiting for my copies to arrive in the mail!
found it hard to get into as the first few chapters have lots of info some male readers would find interesting battles etc. the rest of the book was very god strong characters and the sequel is at the top of my to be read pile. But first grandchild born on 25th Nov and Christmas festivites means very little time for reading.
