5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Sequel 18 April 2012

By JulesMcHamish

Format:Kindle Edition

This sequel does not disappoint. The action is a as fast as the first book and I just could not stop reading. As in the first there are dual stories, and I loved anticipating how the paths would cross, waiting until the final chapters to discover the truth. There are also a few twists which I loved and helped keep the adrenalin flowing.
Thicker Than Blood is so very well written and a joy to read. I would recommend this to anyone with a passing interest in Vampires, perfect for a teenage audience, (or considerably older, as I am!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous storytelling - more, please! 18 Nov 2012

By Joanna Gawn, Author of The Lazuli Portals

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

THICKER THAN BLOOD was a fabulous read. Shalini Boland is a highly accomplished writer, bringing her characters and locations vividly to life with a wonderful skill. I loved the imagery as much as the storytelling.

Alexandre is a beautiful hero, and young Maddy is a courageous and likeable heroine. We are introduced to new characters, Aelia and Zoe, both of whom are crucial to the unfolding story. The ending was an unexpected twist, and paves the way for Book 3 . . . I can't wait!

Another page-turner, and a worthy successor to HIDDEN. This series is a keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Excellent! 21 Jun 2012

By Amanda Cowley

Format:Kindle Edition

I loved Hidden, the first book in the Marchwood Vampire series, so I knew Thicker Than Blood was going to be a great read. Well it was better than great; it was amazing.

I was excited to see what happened to feisty Madison and the gorgeous Alexandre, the main characters from the first book, and I enjoyed meeting new characters too. Aelia's story is particularly good, one of those you can't stop thinking about for a few days after.

Shalini Boland has a real talent for bringing the scenes alive and making you feel you are right there beside the characters. I feel like I've been on one hell of a journey, right into ancient Cappadocia!

A truly excellent book, and a great hook at the end, so now I am (not so) patiently awaiting book 3 in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars A really good read 13 Mar 2013

By Mrs Helen-Louise Adams

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I think I preferred book 1 to book 2. I liked the story it was fast paced, it didn't get boring. I didn't though feel any connection between Madison and Alexandre. He was supposed to be frantically searching for his true love but I just didn't feel it. Which is a shame because this was a large aspect of the story in fact there was more of a connection with Aelia and Mislav than with the two main characters. That said it was still a very good book that was excellently written and again made you feel part of the story for example I actually feel as though I have visited the caves. I think this book is a 3.5 but because if w as well written I didn't feel comfortable just giving it a 3 so I rounded it up instead. I am looking forward to the 3rd book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Had me hooked 29 July 2012

By Shazjera TOP 1000 REVIEWER

Format:Kindle Edition

The first book in this series, Hidden, was a keeper for me and I've been looking forward to the next in the trilogy to be published. However, because I enjoyed it so much I did feel a little anxious to see if Boland kept the momentum going.

The story opens with Aelia in Cappadocia in 571AD. Collecting water we understand that she has broken one of the rules of her community but is confident that Lysus, son of the village leader, will marry her. On her return, half the village are waiting outside her home. Her father is shouting at the village leader.

Chapter Two finds the reader in present day. Maddie and Alex, Ben, Leonara and Freddie and Isabel and Jacques are at Gloucester Cathedral ice-skating. Maddie goes off to buy hot chocolate for Ben and herself and doesn't return.

Straight away, in both timelines, the action is about to start. As in Hidden, we alternate in these different timelines until they merge. From the Marchwood Vampires trying to rescue Maddie to the banishment of Aelia and being taken in by the widow Maleina (a hermit healer living away from society) there is plenty of crises and action. I loved the significance of the solstice.

This time we find out about the backstory to the time before the Marchwood Vampires met their fates in the Cappadocian underground village. I loved the way it all tied in and how Aelia held the key to events that were still being played out in present time.

New characters are introduced by way of the Cappadocian Vampires and the arrogance and superiority came across really clearly. The characters we already know from Hidden are exactly the same (brilliantly portrayed).

The betrayal had me confused as the person all the evidence pointed to just didn't make sense.... Read more ›
