About this listen
"Rene', what will you do if I kick his ass?" I jerked my head toward Tony.
"Nothing, as long as you do not inflict permanent harm," Rene' smiled slightly. I got up to go after Tony, but Wlodek hauled me back.
"We will not allow a brawl between our two youngest," he declared and settled me back in my seat. "Now, Anthony, where may we find your father and does he have other children?"
Xenides is searching for Lissa and out for blood. Nothng less than total destruction is his ultimate objective, beginning with the Vampire Council. After all, much of his elite fighting force was destroyed by Wlodek and his allies on a single night.
Now, Xenides must regroup and looks to command the dregs of vampire rogues and human criminals to accomplish his goals.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 75
>"Reah, this is Commander Aris." Bel moved aside, once we were inside the spacious office, and I received my first look at the outpost Commander. He stared at me for moments as I stood before him. I was so frightened I was afraid I'd burst into tears. He was a lion of a man with thick, shoulder-length, dark gold hair swept back from his forehead. He didn't stand as his rank dictated, otherwise I think he would have dwarfed Bel, whom I thought was quite tall.

But that was before I became a single mom, and I’m not so weak anymore. Besides, Tate lights my temper without even trying, and I swear he enjoys teasing me.

Queen of the dead
Would you listen to Blood Royal again? Why?
yes
Who was your favorite character and why?
It was a good installment to the series. I still think there are too many characters at times Lissa is a great character that could be surrounded by men from an old age.
Have you listened to any of Traci Odom’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, but with all the characters involved in the story, (if you don't Listen to the story through and through til the end) You may get the facts twisted.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
The performance is a testament to the number o characters involved in the book.
Any additional comments?
just can't wait for the next installment of this very good Vampire story

A show of strength
Who was your favorite character and why?
Still Lissa, you really can't help but love her, she's grown a lot through the books and is much stronger than the men in her life giver her credit for being.
What about Traci Odom’s performance did you like?
Wonderfully consistent with the first four books in the series.
Te characters voices and the pacing of the narration are excellent as always.
Any additional comments?
Lissa is gradually holding back less and is chaffing at the constraints that the council tries to impose.
This book is a great addition to the series, each book builds nicely on those that came before it.

one of her best in audio so far!!!
Would you consider the audio edition of Blood Royal to be better than the print version?
Yea!!!!!!!!!!!! of course!!!!!!!!!!!
I just love listening to the way the characters
interact & listening to them is almost as good
as seeing a movie.
I can really picture it in my head :)
What did you like best about this story?
I love the action almost as much as the joking around.
What does Traci Odom bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I couldn't imajin the charcters as well.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Will Lissa finally get a backbone or will she finally surcome to all the male dominance!
Any additional comments?
When will all the other books be made into audio. I cant wait. I have all her books in kindle & all available audio but I am anxious to her the next one. Please don't take so long in posting it. I will buy them all & have already recommended them to all who are receptive to me.

And the series continues.
I really don't need the explicit sex scenes.
Why doesn't she assert herself sooner?
the narration carried the story for me. Once again Traci Odom does an excellent job with character development. Then again with dialects and voice ranges.
I do wonder with all her new power will she still be referred to as "little Girl "?

Awesome!!!
I am really enjoying all the books in this series so far. In fact I wish they would release the others quicker!!!
Entirely new take on vampires and werewolves which wanders off on a very different tangent compared to all the other books I have read of the same genre, there have been many.
At first I was thinking it was a bit out there but it's all coalescing surprisingly well.
Very worth the credits and the narrator, Traci Odom, does a fantastic job.
Happy listening!

These vampires never learn!
Wow Lissa does everything for these vampires and they do not understand her (a modern mature woman) so she's forced to take situations into her own hands. So many unobservant arrogant men and she is forgiving until they piss her off again.

Incredibly cool story line & plot twists!
It's tough being a Queen, sigh. It's official, and Wlodek, the jerk in charge, has finally accepted that Lissa is a Queen, and their ain't nutin he can do about it!
Lissa returns from her other-worldly mission, only to be hit head on with a shocking revelation, a newbie vamp, and a psycho killer problem. Just when I thought this story of Lissa's couldn't get any cooler, more complicated, intense or dramatic, it did. I loved every chapter, every paragraph of this book! The new characters that were introduced from Blood Domination have entered Lissa's world with only a raised brow from her fellow vamp family. As Lissa learns more about her heritage and the vampire history, she becomes even more dangerous to the vampire council with her powers. In order to pursue Xenides, the very scary vampire that is after Lissa, the council coordinates with a U.S. Government special task force, the werewolves, and of course Lissa, to take his ass down. Xenides has waged war on Lissa's family until she goes to him willingly. He only wants Lissa for her blood, which allows anyone that drinks it the use of her powers.
Meanwhile on the home front, Merril has taken in a lot of house guests, including a servant that wishes to stay at Lissa's side. Oh my gosh, this little guy is too cute, but when he has to return home, it's so sad because not only has Lissa gotten attached, so have I! The story was intense, but had it's softer moments, with a dash of sexy times included, which made it more real. I felt like although I was taking in a lot of new information, more layers to the existing story, that I never was overwhelmed. The story line was relatively easy to follow, and very action packed! I really appreciated the investigating, and fighting, especially the fighting! I can truly say I can see how *PNR readers can get discouraged by the turn this series has taken, however, the merging of paranormal with science fiction in this case is the most fascinating take on vampirism I have come to read to date. Also, the fact that I love my sexy times included in my stories, and the author fades to black when it comes to sex scenes doesn't take away from the story or disappoint me in any way, shape, or form. I seriously love the direction Lissa is going, and I can't wait to get into Blood Queen, Book 6!!
* PNR= Paranormal Romance
Editor's note; The series is about a vampire, and has werewolves as well but then introduces other planets, where the vampires, and werewolves originated from, which takes on a sci-fi nature with the time travel, and portals.
Narrator Review
Traci Odom returns for the next installment of the Blood Destiny Series, Blood Royal. Now that the story has added new worlds, we have new characters. Traci's job just got harder, and she steps up to the plate like a pro! I can't even count how many different characters are in the book now, but she does an excellent job of differentiating them well enough that I know who is speaking at any given moment. How awesome of a talent is that! On top of the great and wonderful talent of Traci's, the quality of the sound and recording is fantastic as well. Throughout the entire production the sound is seamless. I love Traci Odom, and I love Blood Royal, and I highly recommend this entire series!
