Nope.
This didn’t do it for me.
The world building was good, but could have been spectacular.
But mostly, I didn’t just like how Beckham treated Reyna most of the time.

BLOOD TYPE takes place in a dystopian world of stark class divisions, where rich vampires exist at the top of society and poor people waste their lives in backbreaking jobs. Vampires used to run wild in murderous rampages, but that was before people discovered that if a vampire drinks from someone whose blood type matches theirs, they become more or less civilized. A company called Visage basically controls everything, employing these vampires somehow, and also providing the best option for empl

A long, long time ago, KA Linde asked me to read Blood Type.
And I had no idea what I was in for. At that time, I wasn't a very big PNR reader, but I took a chance and fell head over heels for Becks.
It's now three <--yeah, THREE years later and she sent me the books (this time I get all three because I've threatened her life), and I'm in a PNR lovers heaven.

Blood Type is a great PNR about vampires and humans being matched with the same blood type. Reyna is being matched with the mysterious and brooding Beckham. She feels guilty that her brothers work and she doesn’t feel that she participates in any way, so she signs up to work for Visage which is the company who oversees the donor program.
The story starts out strong and I’m immediately intrigued by Beckham. He and Reyna’s chemistry is great but the hot and cold games he plays get tiring and old f ...more

This is a brilliant unique take on the vampire/human interaction! I used to love the paranormal romance genre, but they slowly all started to become similar themes. I then became a bit bored and moved on to other genres. I decided to give this trilogy a try once they were all published, and I’m sooo glad I did! I can reassure readers that this is a world that has not yet been done, and My hat goes off to this author for coming up with something that no one else has!

This was good! The ending is killer (hehe). Note that this is NOT a companion series - it's a continuous series so don't expect the ending to wrap up nicely (it doesn't)! There are two more books to follow! Moar Beckham and Reyna. ;)

I really had a good time with this book. It is no secret that I love a good vampire story so this book got my attention right away. I thought that this vampire world sounded just different enough to be really interesting and I knew that I would have to make reading it a priority.

4 Please Bite Me Stars
When I realized K.A. Linde was going to write a paranormal book I was all over that. Nothing excites me more than a new paranormal book. I love serial Vampire books. Event though this is a three book series, after reading Blood Type, I can totally read tons more books. I feel like the Vampire world K.A. Linde creates is limitless.
The thing I like most about Blood Type is the type of world the characters live in. The Vampires and Human live together in an almost dystopian so ...more

I have been craving PNR and this hit the spot. Vampires meet Billionaire Alpha Male. If that's your thing, I highly recommend grabbing this when it comes out!

“Everyone is corrupt. Everyone is broken.”
“I’m not,” she whispered.
“Oh Little One, this world will kill the goodness left within your beating heart.”
“But it will not break me.”
“No,” he agreed. He leaned his head into her hair and drew a deep breath. “I will do that.”

Beckham now consumes my thoughts!! GAH! I love him so much. Blood Type is thrilling, sexy, and completely addictive.
I honestly had no idea what I was getting into. I went in blind and then absolutely DEVOURED this book. I seriously couldn’t put it down. It had all the angst and drama I’ve come to expect and adore from K.A. Linde, but with a deadlier and more suspenseful twist.
I CANNOT WAIT for the next book. I’m looking forward to sinking my teeth into more Beckham!

It’s been ages since I’ve read a true paranormal novel. I’ve been in a bit of a reading rut, so it was the perfect time to shake things up a bit. When I read the synopsis for Blood Type I knew I couldn’t pass it up. It’s a paranormal romantic suspense, and while vampire stories are nothing new, the premise behind vampires and humans co-existing is really creative.
The story is enthralling and I never stopping being intrigued by the intimidating, enigmatic, and powerful vampire, Beckham. I respect ...more

I don’t do paranormal. The only paranormal romances I ever read were part of the Twilight series 11 years ago. I don’t do paranormal. Vampires (except Edward), shape shifters, wolves, and more aren’t my thing. I don’t do paranormal. I didn’t do paranormal until now. Until K.A. Linde’s BLOOD TYPE.

GAH! With over a decade since my last and only paranormal, I had no idea what to expect. Nothing. So I picked up Blood Type, challenging myself, stepping so far from my story comfort zone that I wondere ...more

This is some kind of paranormal dystopia, where vampires and humans live alongside each other, most of the people are poor and are basically trying to survive all the time. Our heroine can’t work – no one will have her without a university degree as she claims – while her brothers pulling double shifts to provide for her and themselves. So she goes to the only place she apparently can get work – becoming a blood escort for rich vampires.
She is fiercely afraid of needles and blood – like it can ...more

I just started getting into the paranormal genre again and I've been addicted to it ever since and this book was the reason why. IT WAS SO FREAKING GOOD AND I NEED MORE.
The world that Kyla was able to create with the humans and vampires was nothing short of phenomenal. I loved, loved everything about it. I absolutely adored Reyna as well and how strong and independent she was and what she stood for. I sort of had a love/hate relationship with Becks but in the end he did win me over.

REVIEW: Still deciding.....
"Every journey begins with one step."
I am aware it is rather odd of me to withhold a star rating until I have fully completed a series, but there is a reason with this one. Bear with me as I try to maneuver my way through my first Vampire PNR and how I felt about the story and the writing as a whole. And yes, you are reading that correctly: I, The Book Bee, read a PNR book with a vampire in it AND. I. LIKED. IT. Weirdly enough...I liked it a lot. I was completely dra ...more

Watching her two brothers ongoing efforts to scrape a living in the harsh living conditions that exist in the Warehouse district is a dead end cycle of despair and sorrow. She knows that unless she does something, what's left of her family will die either from working conditions, lack of food, or being attacked for what little they have. In a last ditch attempt to survive, Reyna Carpenter registers as a blood escort knowing her brothers would never let her do it if they knew.
