Living in Darkness (Bloodbreeders) [Kindle Edition]

Robin Renee Ray (Author)

Book Description

Not once in her life did farm girl Renee Crocker, imagine she would encounter a world found only in the minds of myth-seeking men. Although the things they sought were not always unheard of in the 1930’s in other parts of the world, life was just too harsh in the small Texas community, to pay mind to anything other than raising a healthy crop to ensure the survival of one’s family. But late one evening during supper, a stranger comes knocking on the door of the Crocker family farm house and is invited inside.

It doesn’t take long for Renee to discover a great number of things that people in her neck of the woods couldn’t even contemplate. The dark of night takes on a whole new meaning, and the once vulnerable young country woman finds herself struggling to survive in a world that demands she live forever in darkness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read! May 26, 2011

By Jennifer Malone Wright

Format:Kindle Edition

When I first began Bloodbreeders: Living in Darkness I really didn't know what to expect. I sat down to read it and the first forty pages or so I read at a normal pace, after that I could barely put it down. I even read the darn thing while I was walking on my treadmill!
This book is about a farm girl named Renee Crocker who is changed into a creature of the night by a stranger who visited their farm. Renee, being recently changed is quite naive of their ways, but she is also headstrong and brave.
This is not one of those books that you read when something almost happens to someone and then they suddenly get away or they are all the sudden saved before the bad thing happens. Believe me, bad things happen in this book. There were so many times when I found myself cringing in expectation even as I turned the pages anxiously.
Robin Renee Ray takes you on a journey with Renee Crocker and makes you feel like you are right there with Renee. I really liked the storyline and how her vampires are a bit different from your average that you read about. In this book though, the word vampire isn't found anywhere. So I will say creatures of the night.
However, as much as I enjoyed the story I was quite upset when I got to the last page. It's freaking wide open for the next book. I mean there is no way this book is a stand alone because there will be another one. There has to be! When the next in the Bloodbreeders series comes out I will be one of the first in line to see if Renee gets what she is after.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ann Rice readers will Love! July 19, 2011

By Close Encounters with the Night Kind

Format:Kindle Edition

Robin Renee takes us on a dazzling journey through the growth of the recently turned vampire Renee Crocker. Leading a sheltered life on a small farm, Renee was unprepared for the beautiful stranger that showed up at her parents house. It wasn't uncommon for people to stop by for a few days or even stay on a whole season to work the fields. Her father never turned anyone away and had a bunk house set up for travelers. But in her 26 years of life, no one had ever stirred anything in her like Martin. Dressed in a suit, unlike most of the travelers, he shows up one night just as the family is sitting down for dinner. He politely declines the invitation to dinner only wishing to rest for the night. Renee is sent to the bunkhouse to bring him a plate and some blankets. She is hypnotized by his presence and stutters nervously as she hands him the items with a blush developing on her cheeks. Martin is enchanted and recalls what brought him here in the first place. He has big plans for this small town beauty. Its just too bad he can't tell her til after hes done.
This was a really great book. I was sucked into the plot just from the prologue and couldn't wait to get started. And once I started the book, I couldn't put it down! It takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride..you laugh ..you cry..your heart breaks, then bleeds and finally starts getting put back together again. Robin Renee does a great job of creating a whole new world of vampires for readers to get lost in! Ann Rice fans need to point their radar this way!

Robin Renee Ray-Blood Breeders
Robin Renee Ray's imagination has run wild with Blood Breeders. Ray honed a truly intriguing tale filled with terror, suspense, sex, and human bondage with a great deal of intense storytelling that leaves your emotions on edge! Think "Cinderella" meets "Beauty and the Beast" as an adult tale told with great enthusiasm and vigor. Ms. Ray has pulled out all the stops to give us a story that raises the heart rate of any good soul. Parts of it I read numerous times to ponder the story all over again. Tasty! Read the story and find yourself under Robin Renee Ray's spell. You have been warned! There is no turning back!

"I love being a writer almost as much as I love being a grandmother!"

"I have a fondness for playing in cemeteries, taking as many photo's as my camera will allow. I also enjoy seeking out old and rumored 'haunted houses'...hoping to find the unknown, but more or less proving it's just an old house. ;) I truly enjoy creating short horror stories from the fun that I have had in odd and unusual places, adding loads of fantasy/dark fiction as I goes."

"Have a great day...Big Hugs~"
