Synopsis: “Aelia lives in 6th century Byzantium. She is sixteen years old and her life is about to change forever. She doesn't yet know it, but she holds the fate of thousands in her hands and her actions will echo across the centuries. Fourteen hundred years later the lives of Madison and Alexandre are once again plunged into danger. To save Madison, Alexandre is forced back to a world he thought was dead and buried. But time is running out. The chase is on... Chilling and fast-paced, Thicker Than Blood is the supernatural sequel to Hidden. It combines passion and drama with a historical twist.”
Rating: ***
I was unsure of how much time had passed between the end of Hidden and the beginning of Thicker Than Blood. It would have been interesting to see how all of the Marchwood Vampires adjusted to their modern lives and how Esther reacted to them as she is the great granddaughter of the Turkish servant who came to England with Freddie and Leonore's Father. However, all of this took place in the period between the books, which I found very disappointing.
Not as good as Hidden, I found myself a little bored with Thicker Than Blood and I went a whole day without reading it. I will read the third instalment as I've already bought it.
Overall, disappointing.
