Randall is a medical student in need of a job. His roommate, Darren makes him a secretive proposition which ends up changing his life. As a result, Randy is introduced to Sasha, owner of a night club and very powerful vampire and is offered a job as Sasha's personal blood donor.
Their situation was supposed to be similar to a dom/sub relationship, as that is the kind of relationship a vampire and a human blood donor with an exclusive contract have in Sasha's club. It wasn't really expanded on, we...more

Actually I would've liked to give 1½ stars to it. It was good for a quick read-over, kind of like how a biscuit is good to tide you over until dinner, and the characters did have some endearing qualities.
However, I feel the story was too choppy, it would've benefited greatly from a more in-depth and complex plotline and character development. As it was right now it felt like everything happened too quickly, as if the author was in a rush to produce something but didn't quite manage to muster up...more

3.5 Stars.
This book was fun and just what I was in the mood for. The characters are interesting and the plot was detailed enough to keep my reading the book in one sitting.
The book is not perfect. It was really to short to become a 'great' read. By that I mean - I felt like we skimmed the surface of alot of the key aspects of the book.
The characters were good but not well rounded enough to be great
The villain had the potential to be really evil, but we never really got there.
The sex was was hot...more

Can't believe I initially put this review under the wrong book. So sue me...gently. :laughing at my idiotic err"
I found this one to be quite impressive as I zipped through the story quite easily. At first I found the characters just weren't reaching out to me the way I had hoped. I wasn't get a grasp for them and I wasn't feeling or rather connecting with them the way I usually like when reading a story till further on into the book when what was missing finally came to light.

This audiobook helped me through two of my workout sessions and for that cause it was perfect; a plot that's not too complicated, a nice number of characters and a world-building that's easy too understand. But it was a little bit hard for me to empathize with the heroes. They were rather flat characters and the falling in love was sudden and incredible. And I couldn't believe how unimpressed Randy was about all the different creatures (vampires, shifters, etc) he hadn't heard off before. Add to...more
The story is really interesting, it's the kind of story i always search and never find, i always find those boring books with an exciting summary, and when i begin to read it all i see is: blah blah blah blah blah until i find something interesting, you know the feeling? But this book, THIS book ... i just can't explain it. I know it sounds cliché and lame but when i read Blood Signs my heart giddyupped something fierce, it's not the always boring I-have-found-my-mate-and-i'm-going-to-have-to-co...more

An engaging read from Amber Kell, who seems to be able to give the quick, satisfying read a little more depth than similar books. They're always a joy to read and I feel like I get a bit more world-building in her books than in others but I still get a satisfying guilty-pleasure type book that I can usually read in under an hour.
This book ended with more questions than when it began, and it's pretty obvious that it is the beginning of another series. I'm looking forward to seeing where...more

A friend of Mine (Jess) said : I recommend this book for anyone that wants a few hours of fun reading with cute characters and a simple plot.
I'm one of those people.
So,for me this story was fantastic and I can't wait for the sequel!!!

A fun and entertaining story with characters that are fairly well rounded considered it's short length... around 25,000 words. Both Randall and Sasha and interesting men. I like both of them for vastly different reasons. Randall for his warmth, caring and determination to remain as independent as possible, and Sasha for being possessive, protective and just a little bit of a marshmallow and wanting his mate's happiness. Yes, he's not a warm and fuzzy kind of guy to the general masses but to Rand...more

I enjoyed this one ... as the feel of the story sort of reminds me of Ms. Kell's shorter one, "Attracting Anthony". I thought Randall and Sasha are cute. I thought Dustin the shifter is cuter *I want a werewolf as a pet, I swear!*. The story is actually light, from my point of view anyway, and no real conflict among the main heroes (except when Randall is kidnapped, but he is not in real present torture or danger, since he is quickly saved). I think it's a beginning of a series and woul...more

I've sinned and attempted to read two books by this author. I thought I would mention why I disliked her books so strongly. They are without soul, heart, feeling, or any emotion whatsoever. The characters are mindless, ignorant, and cliched robots walking around through incredibly boring situations. I was frustrated beyond belief. And insulted as well. It was almost as though someone went through and deleted every sentence or phrase that could lead to the story being the slightest bit convincing...more

While Blood Signs is another love-at-first-bite tale, and is very short (90 pages or so), Amber Kell manages to pack a lot in and gives a different approach to vampires. Blood Signs had touches of humour, a few surprises and engaging main characters,Randall, a poor medical student, and Sasha, the vampire.
There are also some great secondary characters, particularly Liam And Dustin, so I am hoping there will be a second installment, as there are certainly some loose ends to tie up.

I give this book 3 1/2 stars it was a good read but it left me with more questions than answers at the end of the book. Is this going to be a series? How does Randell have Farie Blood? What is going to happen to his two new bodyguards? Why was Tian acting odd? I hope that this would be a series if it is this was a good book to start everything off.
Some say that Amber Kell stories don't show a lot of skin and sex is not explicitly detailed, but I like it for the type of writting and good comical and interesting dialogues. This book doesn't dissapoint at all and is great, only one bad point I can think of, it's definite to short, but totally awesome.
Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.
I am running out of things to say. I love the stories by this author and this book is among those I love the most. As to why, this is hard to say. I just start reading and I can't put the book down (or in this case, walk away from the laptop).
If that doesn't explain why I love the book then I don't know what will. :)

Randy is a med student in need of a job that will work around his hectic schedule when his friend Darren introduces him to Sasha the local vampire master. Who knew vampires existed...everybody except oblivious Randy.
Signing a contract with Sasha starts changes that Randy is not prepared for but he seems to easily roll with the punches. He does say things that I would say "hey! shut up! you're giving up too much info!". Loved the whole diabetic delicacy thing. The upside, the ending says to me t...more

Vamp meets boy, fangs elongate, vamp falls into lust with boy’s blood and body, passion ensues; boy, previously independently minded, now is susceptible to bursting into tears. Pretty familiar stuff.
It’s hit and miss with Kell for me. I really liked the Dragonmen Mate Hunt and Hellbourne Hellbourne: Lost and Found series but have not been so impressed with some of her other work. In this one.... Vampire lord Sasha comes off as competitive and shallow and Randy quickly falls under his thrall. Thi...more

Amber Kell has a new series--AND a copy editor!!!! Color me giddy! This a was a fun read, beautifully drawn characters and a wonderfully woven paranormal world. Loved the whole diabetic donor spin, and the vast cast of vamps, humans, shifters and Unseelie---can't wait to see who takes center stage next!!
I didn't care much for the protagonist, Randy, in this story. He seemed to be a little to accepting and outright weak. Especially since he's a med student. Not necessarily a profession I would equate with weakness. Anyway, it's a cute story, great for a quick read.

poorly written and lack real end.... And if this is not enough to justify my 1 star vote there is just one bed scene and it's cold as ice...
Sorry, but it's not a good book in my opinion
Ps: PDF file really short...it's more a short story than a book

It wasn't bad up until about when (view spoiler). That part was too hastily written, so it didn't exactly have much impact. And then the thing in the end seemed way too...forced. In a Mary-Sue way.
A very fun read with quicky characters and lots of paranormal creatures. Really needs a sequel or two, because it seems to short right now - introduces a lot of subplots and characters that make you really want to read more.
I liked the world that this story was set in but the characters left me a little cold. I also wondered about how insulin tasted since diabetics normally have to use that to control their blood sugar.
This book gets 4 stars just for having a diabetic person as "dessert"! It was a great story but I wish it were longer. Based on the cliff-hanger, I'm assuming there will be a sequel soon, I can't wait!
I am gay and I think that all gay people that are fill alone in the world should read this book. I really love this book and that I love reading this book and I had read this book about ten times

OMG. I cannot wait for the next book.I'm only assuming there's going to be a second book because of the way it ended but you never know. HOPEFULLY there will be a second one.
Some problems and the ending was very open. I'm sure this is was written with a series in mind but it sheen a long time and I can't find anything about the next book.
