Warning: Do not begin to read this book if you intend to wake up early the next day or if you intend to do any chores during an afternoon. I committed the great error of beginning to read Noble Blood late one night. The result was not going to bed until 5am. It was worth it. And so was the reread the next afternoon. (I just couldn't stop thinking about the novel).

Noble Blood tells the story of Tara, a young woman who suddenly finds herself converted into a different race, that of the Nobility. Nicholai is appointed to her care. He is a prince of the nobility and he must find out who she is and why it seems she wants to destroy his family. Together, they will search for the truth above all.

Miss Parisi unfolds a story with an incredibly well thought out plot that keeps you eagerly turning the pages to see what will happen next. The twists and turns, the little spots of humor, the quips between the characters, the well-written descriptions, the humanity (or none of it) of the characters, the evil shadow that lurks over them, the mentioning of Lord of The Rings ...it all runs as smoothly and naturally as the great love that inevitably also sparks to life.

Noble blood is a definite must read and reread!

Though you will rarely find me without a book, usually a good paranormal story in the summertime, you would most likely not see me reading a romance. Only a few romances have been given my time through the years. Then last weekend I decided to give a look to the book that kept my cousin in the shade and out of the lake all afternoon.

It was Linda Parisi's Noble Blood, a great first paranormal novel. I had expected it to be my cousin's favorite type of story--vampires. But, no, it was something different (always found treasure to a reader), a noble race that belonged to the living, though maybe not for long. I got hooked on the plot, and also on the romance. I've never written a review before, so I'll just say--Noble Blood is a page-turner.
