H.D. Gordon’s debut novel the Blood Warrior is the first of her three-part Montgomery Saga. Book one acts more like an origin’s tale or prequel to what I assume leads into a more fleshed out overall narrative experience with books two and three. The book focuses on Alexa, a feisty yet oft confused eighteen-year-old girl who must learn of her fate as a sun warrior. Throw in a secret community of werewolves, vampires, and some other paranormal regulars, a love triangle between her and two hunky dudes, and we begin to see the corner stones of the machine that will drive the narrative forward.

The book is written first-person… I only say this because as a fan and a writer myself, I despise the limiting qualities the first-person perspective creates. I shudder every time I read “I want, I think, I..I…I”. Normally, I pass on any first-person narratives, not my cup of tea. It's why I cannot get into anything Percy Jackson. However, curiosity pushed me through this book, and I am glad it did because overall it was a fun and engaging read. I will definitely say, however, I think the issues that I did have with some aspects of the narrative would be completely eradicated from a perspective change. I found at times questioning the use and need of some of the inner musings of the main character Alexa, as they pulled me away from the story and stuck me too deeply into her often times needlessness inner-perspective banter. Inherently, what makes first person a personal bad choice for me, is that it allows any author to take the easy way out in progressing and explaining narrative elements. When you’re in someone’s head 100% of the time, the “tell” almost always dominates the “show."

Now aside from the perspective issue, how does Gordon’s narrative stack up? Here is where her strengths truly shine. Gordon writes this novel in a genre laden with cliché’s and done before concepts that for some authors, can be a big no-no. Somehow, she manages to create this world that does not shy away from the cliché’s but rather tackles them head on. It’s not a book just about vampires, or werewolves. I think it works for her because none of these “cliché’s” are not completely at the center of the narrative. Instead, they act as building blocks to strengthen the foundation of the true story, although that story seems to be building up for a different stage.

Everything in this book is a build up to the sequel, so there is truly no climax at the end. If I were to offer any sort of criticism from a narrative standpoint, it would be the ending, literally there is no payoff in the end. It’s like watching Back to the Future two, only to find out, damn, what? To be continued? No way!
The good news for Gordon is when you do read that last page, you are invested, and you will want to go purchase book number two right away.

The book is not without its flaws, but Gordon’s ability to create tension and drama around Alexa continues to drive the reader through. When the action hits, its magnificent, when the drama unfolds it’s a page turner. When Blood Warrior is working, it’s a fine tuned, well-oiled machine. Where it falls flat, it can be a bit rough. Thankfully, the latter of the two is few and far between.
If you like YA Paranormal, a dash of romantic love triangles, and a healthy dose of kick ass action, I think Gordon’s Blood Warrior will make a perfect fit for you.

What I liked:
-Action spots were killer, good mix of romance, action, and drama.
-80% of the narrative was fast-paced and interesting with only a few spots to drag up the reader.
-The world Gordon creates and its inhabitants are spot on and interesting. I am a sucker for a world that is just as creative and developed as the characters.
-Many questions still unanswered, leaving me wanting more!

What I thought could be better:
-Disliked first-person perspective. Caught too much up in Alexa’s musings that sometimes were needless and bogged down the story creating an unbalanced show vs tell scenario.
-Strong female lead who is kick ass and well rounded, I, e. flawed and real.
-Drug a bit around forty percent into the story. Otherwise well-paced.
- Love triangle just didn’t quit hit the tension it needed. Probably because Alexa is for all intended purposes, a good hearted person, and doesn’t seem like the type to cheat and juggle two dudes.

Je viens de finir Blood Warrior et je ne regrette pas mon achat. J'ai vraiment adoré.
L'histoire est celle d'Alexa une jeune fille de 17, qui pour sauver la vie de sa sœur est contrainte d'abandonner sa mère. Elle découvre alors ce qu'elle est vraiment: a warrior.

J'ai beaucoup aimé les personnages et particulièrement celui d'Alexa. Elle est forte et a un caractère bien trempé. Elle me rappelle un peu le personnage de Rose dans  Vampire Academy .
Nous avons aussi Nelly - la sœur -d'Alexa - qui a elle aussi un don particulier que je vous laisse découvrir. Les deux sœurs sont très proches et ont à cœur le bien-être de l'autre.

Du côté des garçons, nous avons tout d'abord Jackson. Il est le meilleur ami d'Alexa, quelqu'un sur qui elle peut toujours compter. C'est un personnage attachant avec beaucoup d'humour. Il a lui aussi un petit secret.
Il y a aussi Kayden, un guerrier pour lequel Alexa va rapidement ressentir de l'attirance. Il est plutôt réservé, et montre peu ses émotions. Son personnage contraste grandement avec celui de Jackson.

Si je devais faire un reproche au livre, ce serait le triangle amoureux. Je m'en serait bien passée !
Ceci étant, l'histoire est vraiment prenante et on ne s'ennuie pas une minute. Une fois que l'on a commencé le livre, il devient difficile de le poser. Perso, je n'ai pas hésité à acheter les 3 autres livres de la série.

Bonne Lecture :)

Well for 77p I wasn't expecting much, a short story to read while travelling on holiday I thought but man was I wrong! Blood Warrior isn't a short novella at all it is a full and complete book which has so much bang for its buck!

A new take on the vampires/werewolves/supernatural races and a new world to delve into and get lost in. This book sucked me in from the start. In so many books everything starts off perfect until something shatters the peace and the rest of the book is about setting it right, this book doesn't allow the reader that fantasy. This book starts with the main characters world being pretty awful and the things she faces throughout the story don't make it any easier for her, she lives with the fact that there may not be light at the end of her tunnel but she chooses to live though it anyway and quite literally carves out moments of happiness for her and her loved ones where she can.

A great cast of characters and a story which continues to suck me in and keep me wanting more after two sequels, I can't wait for the next book due in December!

This is the best 77p you will ever spend :)

Alexa Montgomery is not your regular 17-year-old. She has a quick temper, and in her school where she’s a junior, she has only two friends, her sister, Nelly, and Jackson, like her, an outlier. Her mother ‘trains’ her in fighting almost every day, in the roughest way imaginable, and insists that she and Nelly run to and from school every day. She understands none of this until their home is attacked by vampires, and she’s forced to flee with Nelly, leaving her mother to certain death.
During their escape, aided by Jack, Alexa learns that she’s the last of a race of supernatural warriors, people who possess the positive traits of nearly all other supernatural races, and she’d apparently the ‘chosen’ one whose destiny is to ‘save’ all the others. What this means, she has no idea, but she quickly discovers that she has abilities not possessed by others—she’s inhumanly fast, and capable of defeating fighters twice her size. Her problem, she’s not sure what she’s been ‘chosen,’ for, nor is she sure she wants this responsibility.
The more she learns, though, the more she is determined to ‘fix’ the world she knows, even if it means leaving those she loves behind.
Blood Warrior by H. D. Gordon is a pulse-tingling young adult fantasy. The graphic violence and blunt discussion of male-female relationships demand that parents exercise discretion about allowing young teens or pre-teens to read it; but it’s an entertaining story that will delight maturing and mature readers. I particularly liked the way the author integrated the supernatural world with the modern world in a way that is almost believable.
