TOUR Audio - DARK FANTASY - STONES END (Bloodstone Quadrilogy, #4) by Calinda B Narrator Alex Black



STONES END
The Bloodstone Quadrilogy, #4
by Calinda B
Narrator: Alex Black
Length: 6 hours 23 minutes
Released: October 6th 2020
Publisher: Calinda B
Genre: Dark Fantasy



  The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . .  STONES END (Bloodstone Quadrilogy, #4) . . . If you have made it this far, then you know that this has been one dark fantastic adventure with magic, paranormal, Ireland, and Ballynagaul. Let me not forget all the characters that we have meet along the way. Stones End is the final addition to the quadrilogy. It's the final stop to make that connection and understand where, when and how things take place in the night and in this small Ireland village.

Having Alex Black guide me through it all allowed for me to have a deeper connection to the characters. He brought a sense of familiarity. 

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Calinda B. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

Magical creatures are the stuff of fantasy. I thought they were unreal...until one of them started stalking me. 

I'm William Ward. Moving back to Ballynagaul, nothing could have prepared me for meeting evil head on. Does it have anything to do with me falling for a vampire? Can't tell. Does it have something to do with the rift between me, my twin sister, who shares my freakish abilities, and my family and friends? Not sure about that, either. But when something starts stalking me, wrapping its bony fingers around me, I'm suddenly in over my head. Now I'm talking to kittens, praying to a dead goddess, and defending my right to love the undead. 

Things are about to get crazy. I only hope I get out of it alive.

But I can’t hide any longer. There’s a mysterious plague going around my town, an illness that causes people to go mad just before the end. Even worse, I’m being stalked, though I don’t know by who. Doctor Steven Breslin seems like the only one who can help, though he has secrets I’m not ready to uncover. 

Then the worst happens - my son falls prey to this supernatural disease. If I don’t save him, death awaits us all. 

Heart’s Blood is the thrilling second installment in the Bloodstone Quadrilogy - an exciting and steamy dark fantasy that’s dripping with horror and lust. Prepare to be on the edge of your seat as you fall into this intense supernatural world.

TOUR Audio - DARK FANTASY - GRAVE STONES (Bloodstone Quadrilogy, #1) by Calinda B Narrator Alex Black



GRAVE STONES
The Bloodstone Quadrilogy, #1
by Calinda B
Narrator: Alex Black
Length: 8 hours
Released: October 17th 2020
Publisher: Calinda B
Genre: Dark Fantasy



  The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . GRAVE STONES (Bloodstone Quadrilogy, #1) . . . If you are looking for some thrills, chills, mystery, suspense, and maybe a little romance, then yes you should be listening to Grave Stones.  I was pleasantly pleased and excited at the same time. I love the small village in Ireland. I loved the hunt for the secret(s) to uncovering the murderer and why they chose Lassi. This was a dark fantasy that was vividly described and brought to life.

Alex is back. I have listened to many of his works. I have been delighted each time. Accents to us Americans are just wonderful. I loved that added element that made me feel like I was in a foreign land. 

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Calinda B. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

Revenge can be bloody. Vampires are deadly. 

A number one best seller in Vampire suspense and mystery suspense! 

I’m Lassi Finn, and I just want to get back to Dublin - unfortunately, there’s a score of murders preventing me from ever returning to my normal life. 

I came to a small town in Ireland to bury a loved one, but now I’m caught up in a mystery of the supernatural kind. Three mutilated bodies show up on my doorstep before I even have time for tea, and the local detective knows more about me than he should. Not to mention the local priest is hotter than hell...oh, and did I mention he seems to glow, and not in the normal, “happy to see me” manner? 

The killer isn’t just cold-blooded. She’s cold-hearted, literally. And I’m about to be her next victim. Either that, or go down for murder. 

The beginning of a steamy, dark fantasy series, Grave Stones is the first book in the edgy and quirky Bloodstone Quadrilogy. Listeners will experience thrills, romance, and sexy nights while investigating the mystery of the monster who inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Book 1, Gravestones, features Lassi Finn and the town priest, Cillian Ward. Cillian is a cover-model worthy handsome man who spiritually guides his flock of churchgoers in the small seaside city of Ballynagaul.

I decided to ask him some questions to see how he would react in the following situations:
  • Facing a bomb threat
    • Calinda, you know me, and you know my secrets. Without revealing too much I can safely say if the bomb threat affected me alone, I would face it with a clear mind and willing resolve. I’m not afraid of death.
    • If it affected my parishioners, or the town of Ballynagaul, I’d have to somehow remove the threat without revealing my secrets. That would be a tricky task.
  • Finding out they are going to be a parent
    • As this is impossible, I have no need to ruminate on such matters. Becoming a father would put the child in too much harm to consider.
  • Running into an ex
    • Awkward. She’d be dead.
  • Attending a high school reunion
    • What’s a high school again?
  • Negotiating with a car dealer
    • I have absolutely no experience in such matters. I don’t even drive. I’d probably “lose my shirt” as you Americans are fond of saying. (smiles)
  • Spending the holidays with family
    • Since my family consists of my congregation, I’ve spent many a holiday with families in the community. It’s always a pleasant affair as long as they don’t ask too many questions about my past.
  • Being ‘snowed in’ in a log cabin
    • I can’t imagine. We seldom have snow in Ireland. I suppose if I were with the right person or persons it could be enjoyable.
  • Being told they have x months to live
    • I’m not sure how to answer this as it might give away one of my secrets. Let’s just say it might be welcome, depending on the circumstances.
  • Getting pushed into the pool at a party
    • Again, this would be awkward for reasons I can’t reveal. Everyone would get a shock, I assure you.
  • Being stuck in a foreign land with no money, no knowledge of the language, and no shoes
    • As long as I could find a body of water, I’d find my way back to Ballynagaul.
  • Suddenly being invisible
    • Now this would be quite interesting. I could do my work without fear of being found out. Bring it on!
  • Inheriting a haunted mansion
    • It would be no different than the way I live now as you’ll find if you listen to the Bloodstone Quadrilogy.
  • Winning the lottery
    • I’d give it away of course. I have no need for money.
