I am speechless right now. I just finished and can't quit thinking about this book! Fabulous !!!

Update 6-9-2014

You know those stories that stick with you? The ones that invade your thoughts, sometimes haunt your dreams? Blood Possession is that story for me. After Blood Destiny and Blood Awakening I didn't think things could get more intense in Dark Moon Vale...boy was I mistaken! Let me start off by saying that Napolean Mondragon is one bad@#$ Vampire. He can harness the sun! Now that is no ord ...more

"My name is Napolean, but my enemies call me Justice."
In this book, the moon turns blood red for Napolean, the King of the House of Jadon. He has weeks to convince his destiny that she was chosen by the Goddess Andromeda to be his mate and to bear his twin boys. If he fails to sacrifice one of his twin sons (the evil one) he will die a horrible death due to the blood curse.
This is the best book in the series by far. Even though they are all amazing, this one blew me away. I felt so attached to t ...more

My Thoughts
Fantasy novels aren’t supposed to be so thought provoking that it makes one think about the universe and the meaning of life in a different way, are they?

The latest in Tessa Dawn’s Blood Curse series, Blood Possession, has me doing exactly that…thinking about things in life that I’ve never considered before. I kid you not! You are probably thinking I’m crazy or at least that I can’t be talking about a paranormal romance novel. But I’m not. Crazy, I mean and I am talking about my favo ...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Blood Possession is the third book in the Blood Curse series. Napolean Mondragon, the 2,800 year old Vampyr leader of the house of Jadon, is the only remaining male from the time of the blood curse. He has just met his destiny, Brooke Adams and he only has 30 days to complete the blood curse. Previously, Napolean was a bit of a mystery to me but he came alive in this book. He's powerful, respected, proud, and feared.

It was great to see all the Brothers and their destinies. I love how they all c Blood Possession is the third book in the Blood Curse series. Napolean Mondragon, the 2,800 year old Vampyr leader of the house of Jadon, is the only remaining male from the time of the blood curse. He has just met his destiny, Brooke Adams and he only has 30 days to complete the blood curse. Previously, Napolean was a bit of a mystery to me but he came alive in this book. He's powerful, respected, proud, and feared.

It was great to see all the Brothers and their destinies. I love how they all came together to save Napolean. Of course Nachari stole the show.

One of the drawbacks was the length of the book. I felt it could have been a bit longer. I wanted to see more of Napolean in his element, possibly leading his people and more of Napolean and Brooke. I also would have liked Napolean and Nachari figuring out what Salvatore was doing to him concerning the visions he was having. I felt this story line was rushed a bit.

I have mixed feelings about Brooke. She is portrayed as an intelligent business woman but at times she seemed like an immature girl to me. Although, it was great to see her childhood connection to Napolean. I also didn't like Tiffany's part in this. I'm not really sure I see the point of her being such an integral part of the story. I would have much rather seen more of Napolean's story.

I always love being in Dark Moon Vale and back with the Silivasi Brothers. Man did they kick some ass! We could clearly see each of their distinct personalities. Nathaniel is strong and ruthless. Marquis, is the elder brother who exudes authority, and Kagen is calm yet deadly. I really want more of Kagen. I hope he gets his own book. Last but not least and my favorite is Nachari. Nachari, the Ancient Wizard makes the ultimate sacrifice for his King and people. I can't gush enough about him. I loved every moment. He's sexy, witty, and confident. I wish we saw him battling with the Dark Lord before he was captured but hopefully we'll see it in his book :)

It was great to see the women play such a big part. I loved Napolean's decree at the end demanding the women learn to defend themselves. I was hoping this wouldn't turn into a series where the women would end up at home raising the kids and were forced into the background.

My favorite part was after the possession where Napolean and Brooke's souls merged. It was beautiful. Nachari suffering in the Valley of Death and Shadows hit me hard. My poor Nachari. Hmmm, and what can I say about Salvatore? Salvatore was chilling in the possession ritual. He is fantastically evil. The only thing I didn't like was Ademordna taking the form of a worm. All I kept thinking about was Chekov in the Star Trek movie Wrath of Khan. I guess the fact that Ademordna took a literal shape threw me.

My favorite quote: "Hear me, Brooke," he purred, his voice a sultry promise of his commitment to their union. "You must understand who-and what-you are destined to mate. I am the sovereign king of an ancient race, begotten of gods and man. I-am-justice."

I can't wait for Nachari's book!

Napolean Mondragon is the head of the House of Jadon. For twenty-eight hundred years he has always put his duty above all else. He has given up on finding his Destiny the one created for him, his other half.
Brooke Adams comes to Dark Moon Vale for a work meeting. She never thought she would be caught up in a Vampire War. Or that she would be used so horrendously to take down Napolean that will lead to his eventual death.

Wow!! Had my sitting on edge of seat throughout the book. We find out just ...more

Rating: 4.5/5
Heat Rating: 3/5
Narrator Performance: 5/5

Dark Possession is what I would consider a dark paranormal romance. There's gruesome yet imaginative violence but also compassion and love. The vampires of Dark Moon Vale are fiercely loyal and have immense power. I love "reading" about them!

Reasons to read this book:

- The ongoing battle between the Dark Ones and the Sons of Jadon.
- Braydon's antics.
- Nachari's bravery.
- Nathaniel's creativity.
- Jocelyn's downright badassness.
- Napoleon's com ...more

I love this series

This book is another great installment of the Blood Curse Series. If you want to drop everything because your reading a book, this is a must read. Tessa Dawn is a true master of story telling and I have a sink full of dirty dishes to prove it. So it's on to the next book for me. ...more

Tessa Dawn continues to amaze, engage and take the reader to another level. Her third installment in the Blood Curse Series, Blood Possession, takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotion with Napoleon the King of his people finally finding his destiny. Tessa allows us to get to know this larger than life vampire on a more personal level as we journey with him and the woman he’s so long waited for. We see the battle between good vs. evil amplified and get to experience the Silivasi brothers com ...more

Well I finished the 3rd book Blood Possession from the Blood Curse series. First I must say that I completely misinterpreted the title of this book! And I believe this was deliberate on Tessa’s part as she has proved herself to be every bit as fiendish as her created characters!!
Now for the book itself. I think I can safely say that each book has taken it to the next level. I read this as a group read and I know some of my fellow readers found the first half of the book to be boring. Happil ...more

This book by far is the best of the series. Napoleon is a loyal and loving king to his people and Brooke is the perfect destiny for him. I am drawn into this world wishing I could live among them. Tessa has a unique writing talent that has me loyal to these vampires and wanting only the best for them. The women are strong characters, who become warriors and perfect matches for these vampires. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Awesome!
