Blood’s Voice
(Book One of the House Millar series)
by Áine P Massie
Title: Blood’s Voice
Author: Áine P Massie
Publisher: Geas Publishing
Series: House Millar, #1
Genre: New Adult, Paranormal, Romance
Length: Novel
Anya Millar had no memory of her life or an instruction manual on how to navigate the insane world of humans, biting, and reality. Instead, Anya has had to learn to navigate the world of love, life, and sanity while avoiding those that would see her dead or enslaved.
Anya must come to terms with who she is and her missing past, Nicholas must win back the object of his eternal love while dealing with new cravings in his silent heart, and Declán must learn to destroy the very creatures that he has unequivocally given his heart and blood.
This is the ongoing journey of Anya and Nicholas, human loving vampires and the human they love, Declán. What makes it all more complicated is that they are abominations in their own world and Declán is a natural born vampire hunter called a Guardian.
Excerpt:
In that eternal moment, nothing else existed, not life, not the world around us, nothing. The only thing that mattered was the sensation, the passion, the existence that flowed between us.
I have no idea how long we were like this, but eventually my sanity began to return and I pulled, reluctantly, from his throat. I had to draw my wrist back from Nicholas; the light of madness did not recede from his eyes until I released him and slid him away.
Gently pulling Nicholas to the bed, I sat facing him and waited for his eyes to calm, and his mind to again rein within him. I caressed his face repeatedly as I waited. Though his eyes cooled his reason did not return, he simply continued to sit, unmoving, unseeing. Hours passed that way. I became concerned I had somehow harmed him by giving in to the craving, into what he so desperately seemed to want. He was, after all, the one that usually pulled me into his arms, tickling my neck as he kissed and nibbled – nearly driving me insane.
I could still feel him coursing through me, just as I could feel a part of me within him. It was the most surreal sensation, self within both of us. As time moved forward I began to truly despair, scared that he might not awake from his strange, imprisoned slumber.
Moving off the bed, I went to the door. “Star? Can you come here, please?”
After a few moments, Star appeared at my door showing no sign she had any idea that behind me sat an immortal trapped within his own being.
“Star, I am worried about Nicholas. He hasn’t moved in hours.” I pulled her gently into my room to show her.
She stood next to the bed and tried, vainly, to awake him.

Praise for Blood’s Voice
“Aine’s love for her characters shines in Blood’s Voice. She gives you a reason to become invested in their well-being. The definition of love triangle takes on a whole new meaning in the House of Millar. I was surprised in a most pleasant sort of way. This book does not contain the constant bickering and whining that are found in a lot of YA literature…a refreshing change. And, before I forget…a big thanks to Aine for her inclusion of alternate lifestyles in a very compelling manner.” – Kristin @ Better Read Than Dead
“I like the issues of LGBT that are brought up in the story and felt they were just enough of a sample of that lifestyle to not offend close minded individuals. It was very realistic and I enjoyed reading more about it. There is a ménage de trois alluded to in the book so some people may be a bit uncomfortable with that part of the story. From my point of view, it was very well written and only enhanced the book. I give this a 4 fair review as it was a very romantic story with paranormal elements that drew you in with the intricate plot.” – Heather @ Earth’s Book Nook
“Most of the vampires in this series have some type of unique ability. Especially Anya. She gives a new meaning to the coin phrase of “I get whatever I want”. You follow her on her adventures of trying to fit in with humans and seemingly thwarted by her own kind almost every time. She begins to have feelings for Nickolas, as well as Declan but they are different and easy to separate. At least for her. She loves whom she loves. Towards the middle of the book I grew a little envious of her situation.” – Nikki @ CEWTNK
“This is one book I could not put down at all and this is really one I want to read book #2 as soon as I can. Very well written and a great Young Adult book. If you are into Young Adult vampire books I think you will most likely like this book.” – Chantale @ Geeky Girl Reviews
“The author did a great job keeping my interest and making me want to finish the story to find out what happened next. They’re lots of surprises along the way and some things that truly didn’t expect but that just made it better than I thought the ending was going to be!” – Christina @ Intoxicated by Books
“This was an absolute pleasure to read, and an easy story to get into. I had no trouble getting lost in the pages and the storyline. Aine P. Massie has a very unique writing style which I found very pleasant. The characters never once got on my nerve. I quite enjoyed reading about them.” – Kyanara Night @ Kyanara’s Mad Reviews
“It’s a really easy book to read, I literally swallowed it in two days, and I really liked it! I recommend this book to all those who love vampire stories with romance, and those who like to learn new languages and cultures… Yes? Why? Well, because the author will delight us with a sweet romance full of phrases and words in Irish. : ) Happy Reading!” – Idris @ Throwing Books

I think I like the mystery of them and the supernatural powers.
I love vampires. I think they are hot and gorgeous and they live forever.
I love the longevity of vampires, and that they have seen so much, experienced so much in their lives. They are my favorite paranormal creature 🙂
Thanks for the spotlight on this book and author – I have all of the books in the series so no need to enter me in the giveaway!
The thing I like about vampires the best is the ability to live and love forever.
