Bloodline Gypsy Review

Bloodline Gypsy: Jook and Gypsies vol. 1

By Shirley A. Martin

"A supernatural thriller of chilling carnage and haunting beauty, Bloodline Gypsy unearths the origin of a mythical creature that has plagued history since the dark ages. Tracing an inherent line of magic back to Egypt in 981 AD, this dark fantasy reveals the mysterious link between gypsies and werewolves. A yoke that, twelve hundred years later, reveals itself in the form of a birthmark stamped on children born of Louvari descent. 

When Susannah Henika loses her mother in a tragic accident, she moves to a mountain resort town to live with a father she has never known. She soon falls victim to night terrors and an impending sense of dread. She meets a woman in the woods, Madalina Sadrinovic, whose uncanny ways set Susannah ill at ease. Strange and foreboding events follow the arrival of Madalina’s twin brother Luca. A local boy goes missing. The American teenager begins to suspect that somehow - linked to the strange markings on her hand - she may be one of the last remaining humans, genetically predestined to bear the offspring of an altered species her ancestor forged into the world."

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF BLOODLINE GYPSY***

When Susannah’s mother and grandparents die in a car accident, she goes to live with the father she never knew growing up. She forges a close relationship with her father, as well as her two young brothers. But her new life becomes barely tolerable because of her conniving stepmother who doesn’t approve of her. When she makes friends with Madalina her life starts getting complicated. After she meets Madalina’s brother Luca, her life will never be the same again.

This was full of mystery, conspiracy, secrets, and had all the ingredients needed for an interesting and entertaining read. It had my emotions all over the place. I could relate to Susannah’s strong character. And her scene with Connie had me crying all the way through it. I think the author did a great job conveying the sharpness of the wolves, as well as their soft side. I actually felt fear along with Susannah, and you can bet I’ll think twice now before walking through the woods alone.

About the Author

Shirley Martin has lived in the beautiful mountain resort town of Big Bear Lake, California most of her life. She received several local scholarships for her writing endeavors in high school and college.

As far back as Shirley can remember she has been in love with the genre...Scary.

She was as young as five when she was lured out of bed by the misty moors, howlings in the dark, and propheices fortold by ancient gypsy women, wisened to the monsters that lurk just outside the realm of the campfires.
