Blood Trinity: Book 1 in the Belador Series (Beladors) Kindle Edition
Atlanta has become the battlefield between human and demon. All her life, Evalle Kincaid has walked the line between the two. Her origins unknown, she's on a quest to learn more about her past . . . and her future.
When a demon claims a young woman in a terrifying attack and there's no one else to blame, Evalle comes under suspicion and the only person who might help her is Storm, a sexy new agent with secrets of his own. Now she's on a deadly quest for her own survival. Through the sordid underground of an alternate Atlanta where nothing is as it seems to the front lines of the city, where her former allies have joined forces to hunt her, Evalle must prove her innocence or pay the ultimate price.
But saving herself is the least of her problems if she doesn't stop the coming apocalypse. The clock is ticking and Atlanta is about to catch fire. . . .

"The Book Everyone Should Be Talking About
In my opinion, this book has something for everyone. ..If you are looking for a well written book that will take you out of your everyday life and transport you to an exciting new world, then this is for you. Be the one to introduce your friends to the Belador Series, or at least don't be left out when it's all that your friends are talking about." ~~~~Heated Steve
"BLOOD TRINITY is an ingenious urban fantasy with imaginative magical scenarios, characters who grab your every thought and more than a few unpredictable turns ...The paranormal action is instantaneous, while perilous suspense continuously escalates to grand proportions before the tension-filled and satisfying conclusion. The meticulous storyline of Book One in the Belador series will enthrall you during every compellingly entertaining scene."
~~~~Amelia Richard, Single Titles.com

The Ngak Stone is about to reveal itself and whoever it chooses as it's master will wield the power of the universe. The Beladors have sworn to protect humans and the world and are in search of the stone to keep it out of the hands of evil.
Evalle has been setup and it seems everyone and their brother demon is out looking for her. Not only does she have to find the stone but she also has to prove her innocence to her tribe that she has not shifted or risk being locked up forever.
I'll start with the ending. It was good but now I'm stuck waiting for months to read more in the next book. So frustrating. One thing that was super annoying was that every man in this novel was a super hot guy. So annoying. Not everyone can be sexy as hell.
One other major thing that I did not enjoy was that practically every other sentence Evalle was sure to tell us that she was independent and she needed no ones help ever. Ok, I get it. Very independent.
Where as other series in Kenyon's books seem to focus on one set of characters each book it feels as though this series may in fact center on Evalle. There was not a huge conclusion to this one which makes me thing there is going to be way more going on for her in the future. I'm excited and disappointed all at the same time for that one. There were two male heroes in this one and I feel like in the future she may have to pick one. If I'm wrong and the next book doesn't have Evalle as the heroine I would have to say that I would be majorly disappointed and frustrated to no end. So here's me hoping for the best.
All in all I enjoyed the story. I stayed up late a few nights just trying to read more and more of this one. I liked it and can't wait for more in the series. I can't say this is my favorite series by Kenyon but I'm not sure anything can compare to The League or the Dark Hunters. Although, Kenyon worked alone on those projects. The Bad Agency with Love was also pretty good. I'd have to give this one 5 stars in anticipation of the next book in the series.
**Also** If you want to read Trey's story. (A character in this novel.) There is a short story about Trey, Sasha, and Rowan in Dead After Dark by Sherrilyn Kenyon. As I was reading this I realized that Rowan sounded familiar and I searched and searched until I found where I had read her name before.
Evalle who clearly did not have a great childhood grew up into a VERY indepentant woman and doesnt want or need a man in her life. She works for VIPER as a Aragant who is half Belador and half we never find out. She is not trusted by most as the Aragants are very dangerous and are locked up for the Beladors and Humankind safety. Evalle is always trying to prove she is a Belador and always has to look over her shoulder.
She has 2 frinds who would go to the end of the world for her and trust her as they know her secrets and the real her as much as anone could. Tzander and Quinn...but they are just friends. After a demon kills a girl Evalle has to prove it was an aragant and it wasnt her before the VIPER finds out it may have been one and locks her away or suspends her. While this is happening VIPER is on the search for the Ngak Stone, and they team Evalle up with Storm. Storm seems drawn to Evalle right away but has to prove her isnt out to send her to lock up and will really help her. All the while the is Isak who is head of Nyght Inc, a human group of military whos goal is to killall aragants and anything else that threatens man kind. Isak is also instantly drawn to Evalle. You only see Isak 3 time in the whole book but clearly there is a love triangle between Storm and Isak. The ook does end ok but really really laves you hanging for more. I woulld say dont buy this book until the 2nd one comes out to avoid the feeling I had at the end of this book but if the book doesnt sell then there may not be anymore and that would be a shame as it really was a great idea and something new, assuming they get it right in the second novel!
Evale is a Belador, a supernatural race of warriors who protect humans from demons & other Supernatural races that would harm them. But Evale is different from other Beladors, she is an Alterant, 1/2 Belador & 1/2 something "other" which she has no knowledge of as she was raised/imprisoned by her Aunt until she was 18 yrs old. Her past is a mystery even to her. She also has a secret that could get her locked away & b/c of experiences in her youth she cannot handle being caged.
Beladors have a multitude of gifts from kinetic energy, telepathy, enhanced strength, & by linking their minds all of their gifts become enhanced. A demon infestation has come to the ATL & it looks like someone is trying to "out" Evale's secret & have her locked away, worse, or is she just being paranoid? Evale has to find answers & proof that these human & demon kills were not her & for a woman who doesn't trust easily or @ all most of the time it is a challenge she must meet.
The is a powerful artifact that is revealing itself to the world in Atlanta & Evale & the other Beladors must find it & protect it from destroying the world while battling Kujoor, warriors who possess fearsome fighting skills, immortality, & a vendetta against all Beladors. Evale meets 2 mysterious men w/their own secrets that awaken her long dormant feminine side & she will have to choose whether or not to trust them. Her life & freedom depend on it. While there is minimal romance in this book the female lead, Evale is a strong, dominant character who can take care of herself & cares deeply for those she does trust. It has great action & an original story line. Highly recommend! Off to buy the next book in the series! Can't wait!!!

Sherilyn Kenyon dürfte den meisten durch ihre Dark-Hunter-Serie bekannt sein, und so verwundert es nicht, daß auch hier Dämonen und Götter eine Rolle spielen - dann hören die Gemeinsamkeiten allerdings auf. Mit ihrer Co-Autorin Dianna Love hat sie eine neue Welt mit eigenen Wesen und Regeln geschaffen, allen voran die Heldin Evalle. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Gestaltwandlern machen sie ihre Fähigkeiten und ihr Erbe zur unwillig geduldeten Außenseiterin, die sich in ein Monster verwandeln kann. Sie trägt einen ständigen Kampf gegen Vorurteile und ungerechtfertigte Anschuldigungen aus, gleichzeitig muß sie stets dagegen ankämpfen, ihren Gegnern recht zu geben und sich unkontrolliert zu verwandeln. Umgeben von zahlreichen attraktiven Alpha-Kriegern, fällt es ihr nach einer traumatischen Kindheit schwer, jemand an sich heran zu lassen, umso mehr, weil jeder Vertrauensbruch die Todesstrafe für sie bedeuten würde. Wie sie um ihre Unabhängigkeit und um Akzeptanz kämpft, ist authentisch geschildert und gehört zu den Stärken der Geschichte.
Von den anderen männlichen Beladors würde man genauso gern mehr erfahren wie von den zahlreichen anderen Nebenfiguren, die den Plot abrunden. Dieser kommt anfangs etwas schleppend in die Gänge, bedingt durch viele Details und neue Regeln, die untergemischt sind, was durch Wortverzerrungen ("majik") nicht unbedingt erleichtert wird. Bereichert wird die Handlung durch neue magische Wesen und Charaktere, die in ihren Fähigkeiten mehr einen Fluch als eine Gabe sehen, und ihre Schwächen und dunklen Seiten haben. Hier sticht vor allem Evalles Mitbewohner hervor - etwas Witzigeres und Knuffigeres kann man sich nicht vorstellen (mehr möchte ich hier nicht verraten!) Gegen Ende wird der Plot so spannend, daß man das Buch nicht mehr aus der Hand legen kann und eine kurze Nacht bevorsteht.
Romantische Elemente treten weniger zutage als bei anderen paranormalen Serien, auf Vampire, Werwölfe oder Gestaltwandler-Rudel wird man ebenso vergeblich warten wie auf eine früh vorhersehbare Paarbildung. Stattdessen geht es um Diskriminierung, Rassismus und vorschnelle Urteile. Viele Fragen über die neue Welt bleiben ebenso offen wie Hintergründe der Nebenfiguren, was nach einer Fortsetzung geradezu schreit. Zwar gibt es ein Happy-End, allerdings ganz anders als erwartet.
Insgesamt gibt es mit einer neuen Welt und einer ungewöhnlichen Heldin in einem schon fast übersättigten Genre reichlich Abwechslung. Hat mir gut gefallen, dafür gibts 4 Sterne.
