The book titled Dark Blood Awakens written by Michelle Corbier is best described as a thrilling fictional fantasy. This was an intriguing book with a captivating first chapter that reeled me in immediately. The highly suspenseful narrative flowed at a fast pace with startling and exciting twists and turns. I loved how Michelle Corbier made ample use of descriptive elements that not only brought the story to life but also elevated its cinematic appeal. I have to say, the descriptive elements employed by the author vividly leaves you in awe. The character development was exceptional, with complex personalities whose clear motives made their actions relatable. I found Makeda very interesting. Her familial bond with her brothers, Yewanda was a picture perfect plot twist. I could personally relate to this character because it’s not everyday where books vividly portrays or give hints about the truth in our Society. Like Makeda, some families in this world will always look for potential in young generation to pass on their great secrets. To wrap this up, Dark Blood Awakens was a fun, well-written, and enthralling novel that I look forward to seeing on the big screen sometime soon. This is the perfect book for fans of fast-paced fictional-fantasy looking for a quick read to pass the time.

Dark Blood Awakens is a paranormal urban fantasy incorporating Black girl magic with myths from the African diaspora.
As a child, Makeda’s mom forced her to abandon sorcery. Instead, she pursued a career in nursing while killing monsters with her family of mwindaji. For over a millennium, the mwindaji have hunted Korlemo, a 1000-year-old vampire.
While working in Haiti, Makeda’s desire to recapture her sorcery skills increases. When a lead takes her to a Kentucky rural hospital searching for Korlemo, she uses Baoumali, the language of sorceresses, to reclaim her heritage. During her investigation, Makeda develops a steamy romance with the local sheriff and uncovers a macabre secret the hospital administration will kill to keep silent.
With time running out, Makeda must recapture her sorcery and choose where her alliances lie. If the mwindaji cannot destroy the monsters haunting the hospital, people will die—starting with her boyfriend.
