I don't have to tell you how super excited I am for this book. I love me some Tamara and Claudia at Phatpuppy did an amazing job with this cover!
Now for my review of BLOOD SONG:

Julia has been ripped from the escape she'd planned for herself. When she awakens to discover that her reality has shifted to include a supposed soul-meld with a man she hates... and who hates her, she rebels. Julia doesn't want to be Queen of the Blood Singers if it means captivity in a gilded cage.

Broken from the horrific events surrounding her friends, Cynthia migrates to the very city that Julia resides in and determines to find her as the police follow the bread crumbs she left in her wake. Detective Truman's discovery at her apartment exposed her departure for the escape it was.

The Feral has come full circle and must begin a new life from the shadow of the old. His placement in the hierarchy of the pack is uncertain when he finds that he has an integral enemy already in place and a pack member to protect. While he desperately seeks answers to what had been... what could be.

Can the vestiges of Julia's former life be restored so she might reunite with her one true love or has that door closed forever because of supernatural circumstances beyond their control?

Lori's Review: 5 Mega Epic Stars!!!

I have made no effort to hide the fact that I am a Bodacious Beta. Whoot Whoot. So that goes without saying that the author provided me a copy of this book for my honest opinion.

Can I just say....Stare at that Phatpuppy gorgeousness for a few minutes. Seriously just drink it in. Got it. The beauty, the darkness, the shady shadows, the boobs. Claudia basically just painted this story.

Tamara is in NEW ADULT territory here folks. Yay. We get to see our alpha foxes do more to these lovely ladies.

Funny story I anxiously awaited this in my email. I mean waited and waited and harassed Tamara with email after email. Finally it arrived and whoa whoa whoa life halted, the world stopped spinning, humming birds started doing the slow-mo. I replied to my mom and daughter with grunts. Maria watched A LOT of Dora that day. Crystal Kingdom, over and over and over again. I could not put it down. I did not sleep. I could not put it down.

I can honestly say that this might be my favorite TBR book. It might be. For now.

Julia, god bless here. She is feisty. I think she wants to give me a heart attack. So headstrong. She is no wallflower and is trying to find her own way. She feels like the SINGERS are keeping something from her. And they are. Maybe. Nothing is what it seems with Tamara guys.

Scott, oh my oh my oh my. Swoon. He gets on my nerves so bad. But I can't help but have the major hots for him. Oh yeah. I've got Scott fever.

Jason is back...I don't know, everything is up in the air for Jason. Oops I can say no more without giving away spoilers.

William. I really wasn't a huge William girl. To be honest it's been Scott since he entered the book. But yeah. Read the book. He is still devoted to Julia and will literally do ANYTHING to get her. It's almost scary.

Tony is literally the scumbag of the century. If you thought Prince Frederic in the Savage series was bad...well I think Tony puts even him to shame.

Oh yeah Scott's mom. She's a real piece of work. My lips are sealed on anymore deets about that one.

As always Tamara's worlds are so unique and full of life and the northwest region where this takes place is no exception. It's a place she knows well, and you can tell. It kinda made me want to go camping or move to a retreat of people with special blood (they have those in real life, right? And "my Scott" is waiting there for me.- A girl can dream right?).

Oh and things get steamy. So steamy. Moving into New Adult here gals, let's not forget. I can't wait to see these characters mature.

I can't I just can't stop fangirling. Ok? So I'm going to leave you with this tidbit from the book!

Scott began to go after Michael and she forgot their promise not to touch each other and put a staying hand on his muscular forearm, the striated muscles rippling under her fingertips.

In a tingling rush of almost electric proportions, Scott gasped, groaning.

"Julia!" he said in a low voice, charged with emotion and restraint.

"I'm sorry," she apologized and withdrew her hand but Scott was helpless to the sensory impulse of skin-to-skin contact and wrapped her against him.

Hard, with almost brutal contact he wrapped his hand in her hair and kissed her forehead, then her nose, then found her mouth and pressed his lips to it softness.

Le Sigh.
