About this ebook

Blood Mate, a dark fairy tale...

August Corinth is a six-hundred-year-old vampire, cursed to kill and suffer the pain of his victims each night until he can find the one woman who can resist his thrall, his blood mate. Once he's found her, there are no lines he won't cross to claim the promised salvation even if it means taking away everything and everyone she loves.

Blood Mate is a dark fairy tale, however, most of Kitty's titles are dark literary erotica:

What Readers are Saying about Blood Mate:

"This is the second book I have read from kitty and I absolutely loved it. This isnt a happily ever after. This is a dark erotic paranormal read." -Tiffie

"Anyone who has read "The Last Girl" - this is definately not the same story; how the last girl is more about the human and her choices, this one is more of the vampire perspective. I have to say the gore was high, but for a Kitty book the sex is low. Not complaining, just different from Tender Mercies & Comfort Food.

Love you Kitty - keep writing!!!" -Mel

"This isn’t your Mama’s vampire romance." -MamaSmith

"The overall story is one that keeps you guessing. You’re never quite sure how things are going to turn out and I honestly didn’t predict the ending. Kitty Thomas isn’t one to do nice, happy endings with everything tied up in a neat bow. If that is what you’re looking for, this novel is not for you. Blood Mate isn’t really a romance. It’s more of a psychological journey exploring romantic possibilities that go well outside of normal boundaries, if that makes sense. You do get a sense of closure, though, and she leaves a little room for you to decide how things might go from there." - Mistress of the Dark Path

"4 1/2 stars!! Kitty Thomas is my go-to author for dark erotica so I was excited to read her new release. Blood Mate is a FAIRY TALE, not really an erotic romance in any way, and is another intense story from Kitty Thomas. I don't normally read this genre of books but I absolutely loved the writing and the characters and am so glad I had the opportunity to read this book." -Book Bellas

"Like all of Kitty's Books this is NOT a VAMPIRE ROMANCE. And NOT all VAMPIRES are sparkly." -amdase

"This is another mind blowing, intense and deeply psychlogical read from Kitty Thomas. Readers of this author will be familiar with her imaginative literary erotica." -Tina Williams

"I think that some of the people leaving reviews here don't quite get the difference between erotica and porn, or dark erotica and romance. If you came here expecting some light BDSM in a vampire romance with a lot of steamy sex and a HEA ending, then honey, you are in the wrong room. You're not even in the right building. If you want to get inside the head of a six hundred year old vampire and see what despair, love, anger, and cruelty really are, then this book is for you." -Lucy C

"I love this book! As usual, Kitty’s writing was impeccable and her story telling was amazeballs! But, DAMN YOU, KITTY, DAMN YOU! That ending just pissed me off, as usual. The whole book was a complete mind EFF. How can I love you and hate you so much? So, when is the next book out? ;) 5 Smooches!" -Red Cheeks Reads

"Kitty Thomas is one of the few authors who can release a new book and I will immediately buy it without a second thought. This trust has been rewarded by her time and again, but never more thoroughly than now with Blood Mate. It made me question what is real and what is delusion, and what love can mean in the face of eternal suffering." - The Romance Evangelist

 

"This was a strange book. I don't normally read paranormal romance books, but this one was by Kitty Thomas and I love Kitty Thomas. This is not my favorite Kitty book, that distinction still belongs to Comfort Food, but it's still an interesting take on the familiar vampire trope.

Know that this is nothing like Twilight. This book features a true vampire, not a sparkly romantic leading man. This book has true horror in it, manipulation, and more than a few surprises. But if you are willing to read something dark and fascinating, then Blood Mate may be right up your dark alley." -Charles M. Smith II

"Like all of Kitty Thomas' books that I've read, this one is well written and the characters are believable (yes, even the vampire!) I normally don't like paranormal (Twilight being a notable exception), but I really liked this one. It's hot and I wanted more." -Ellen

"I would like to make one minor suggestion for new Kitty readers. If you're looking to pop you Kitty cherry, read a few of her other titles first, then come back to Blood Mate. That way you can get a sense of contrast between her other works and this book. Anyone who is a Kitty Thomas fan will thoroughly enjoy Blood Mates and I do recommend reading this." -Jacque

"When I started reading this book, I had no idea what to expect. Was it paranormal? Yeah, I guess… I mean, it’s about a vampire, so I guess it qualifies. Was it a romance? No, not really. Was it erotica? Ish? Was it dark erotica? Sort of, but it’s not actually as dark as you’d expect. So what is it? It’s exactly what it says it is: a dark fairy tale." -K. Lauer

"Kitty Thomas’ work has become synonymous with dark erotica. Her writing is definitely not for the faint of heart. But if you enjoy having your mind messed with, then you need to start reading Ms. Thomas’ catalog because nobody is better at dark literary erotica." -Robin

Ratings and reviews

I love how twisted and curved this authour can make a story, and this is no exception! Even with an evil vampire story *chills* that is a setting for the characters to wade through. It isn't what defines them, it is what designs their circumstances. So cool really and makes for an amazing story, and even a triangle, made this intriguing and just, perfect.

Quite an imagination to be able to come up with a plot like this. I'm still confused about what really happened in this book, but loved every minute spent reading it.

Kitty has done it again and made my go thru every feeling in the book. It is a strange kind of resolution.
