Blood-soaked battle ✅

Edge of your seat page-turner ✅

Taking readers through a mind blowing supernatural experience where a slave rebellion uprising gets super bloody in the best way. Redmond reimagines the origin story of vampires setting Blood Slaves at the backdrop of American slavery in the Province of Carolina during 1710.

Being under a mean and hateful master like James “Big Jim” Barrow death was the next best thing to freedom because there was no escaping the Barrow plantation. That is until Willie stumbled across someone who could change his life forever. Rafazi was the last survivor of the Ramangan vampire tribe and together he and Willie would lead an army of the enslaved in an epic battle for their freedom. 

From the moment I knew of Rafazi I was ready for EVERYBODY to be turned. In my mind none of them should’ve been against it!!! But there’s always gonna be someone hard to convince. Irene was my girl cause no questions asked she was down and ready for whatever. Gertie, Gertie, Gertie is all I can say cause she stressed me out. And I couldn’t wait for a few characters to FAFO‼️ 

The pacing starts out slow but the second half will have you on edge. The world-building was absolute perfection I could easily envision everything and the premise is literally golden. Although the book is fictional, Redmond blends history and the supernatural elements together so flawlessly. Slavery itself was a horrific experience but making them vampires was next level. Things in this one get gruesome, gory, and a little graphic so proceed with caution. But I highly recommend this book‼️
