One Blood is a supernatural thriller that will leave you wanting more from this author. Rich themes of voodoo, family curses, political ambitions and a quest for power are dominant in this roller coaster ride set in Louisiana. Governor Randy Lafitte is popular and beloved after battling back from brain cancer, but his political success has come with a price. When his daughter is kidnapped Lafitte is confronted with a past he thought died a long time ago. However, what hasn't caught you, hasn't passed you. And what comes for Lafitte may way more than he or the forces behind him can handle as he fights the demons (literally demons) from his past.

2,0 su 5 stelle not what I expected

I picked this book up because of the historical location of New Orleans. But it is so poorly written that I stopped reading after the first chapter. I found myself trying to figure out who the characters where and their purpose which was vague and confusing. I have deleted it from my Kindle.

5,0 su 5 stelle A debut novel that can hold it's own with the best.

Writing is re-writing. Here's proof.

Two months ago I gave Quantu Amaru's debut novel four out of five stars and thought I was being generous. I faulted the first few chapters for stylistic lapses. Then I tried to reassure people slumming through the literary sub-cellar of cheap reads that, in spite of its flaws, "One Blood" was worth a look.

Well, after some fine-tuning, "One Blood" is now, officially, a five star read. You know it from the first sentence. Don't believe me? Check out the Kirkus Book Review above. (Of course, we AMATURE reviewers were FIRST!)

I won't tell you that that "One Blood" reads like a Stephen King novel - because it doesn't. (We've read ENOUGH imitation Stephen King.) No. Quantu Amaru has AN ORIGINAL VOICE - one worth listening to. The prose is tight and vivid - enviably lean where it needs to be, reminding you of James Patterson on his best days but with more depth of character. The story ambitiously takes a cross section of Louisiana society: good cops, bad cops, politicians, prisoners, preachers, ghosts and demons and forges them into a complex but coherent tale of murder and political intrigue -- all rounded off by a good, old-fashioned, Voodoo blood curse.

You may think, like I did, that with so many characters and an unusual plot structure that jumps back and forth through time, that you'll have trouble keeping track of everything -- but Quantu's ear for dialogue is dead on. (The characters are pains-takingly drawn. His bigoted villain, who isn't the cardboard cut-out you were expecting, uses his racial slurs with casual, chilling conviction. Amaru's gang-banger swears like a gang-banger - and the rest of the characters don't.) You won't have any trouble following this.

The last third of the book is a virtuoso display of the writer's craft, providing you with a taut, multi-layered and satisfying climax. At that point, you will NOT be able to put the book down.

In the end, "One Blood" proves to be thought provoking, original, exciting and suspenseful -- and like the best genre fiction, a book that forces you to care. The price is cheap. Buy it. Read it. Enjoy.

Five stars - and the author earned every one of `em.

5,0 su 5 stelle An excellent debut novel
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 21 ottobre 2012

I'm a big fan of indie and new authors, but many times I find myself struggling to finish poorly written books with an obvious plot (that's if they have one at all!) Not so this debut novel; it is a well-crafted and fascinating story that twists and turns in different timelines. Even though the story is told through these different timelines, it never feels jarring or awkward when we switch from the present to the past. The characters are well fleshed out, and each one has their own agenda, faults, foibles and redemptive qualities. Nothing is completely black or white, and you can see each character's motivation clearly. I could have happily sat down and immersed myself in this story from beginning to end in one sitting (had I not had two children clamouring for attention!) An excellent book, and I look forward to more if this is the quality we can expect!

4,0 su 5 stelle Spellbinding thriller with Louisiana flavor
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 15 marzo 2012

"One Blood" is an epic, gritty, surprising, and fun read. I love a story that spans generations and jumps back and forth in time, challenging the reader to put many of the pieces together without being spoon fed all the answers. The narrative structure is reminiscent of Kate Morton's "The Forgotten Garden," but the plot is unique among all the suspense novels I've ever read. The glimpse into the world of voodoo is both fascinating and disturbing, and gave me the "heebie jeebies" at times. Perhaps my use of that phrase reveals my Louisiana heritage. As someone who grew up there and spent a lot of time in the southwest area of the state, I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the attention to detail that the author gave to the setting. Whether the characters were driving down I-10 or spending time at one of the waterfront mansions in "Lake City," I was transported to the places I know well.

"One Blood" certainly isn't a novel for the faint of heart. To say more would give away too much of the plot, but just know that there is plenty to keep you gasping, cringing, and having trouble going to sleep - if you ever actually put the book down (it's a real page turner!).

The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that I would have liked to see a little more character development, particularly with Randy Lafitte. There were some gaps in his backstory that left me wondering why he ended up the way he is portrayed in the present day storyline. Some other characters' actions also seemed at odds with who they were, so further information about their motivations or thought processes might have been clarifying.

But the action packed story more than makes up for my small complaint about character development. The author very capably handles themes of family, revenge, love, power, and race, weaving them in and out of a tale that never slows down from start to finish.

Compelling dark tale with a twisty plot that unravels at breakneck pace through different characters and timelines. A great read: fascinating and entertaining.
