The Captive and the First Blood Game (Blood Type, 2)

by K.A. Linde

About this book

- [x]

Before The Wren in the Holly Library, there was The Monster and the Last Blood Match and as the provocative, sensual Blood Type series continues, the rare bond between Reyna and Beckham is threatened by betrayal, greed, and twisted secrets.

Everyone wants a piece of her.

He wants it all.

Reyna Carpenter trusted the wrong people…and paid the price.

Held captive in the heart of a vampire empire, her freedom stripped and blood claimed, Reyna survives the only way she knows how―hope. Hope that she’ll find a way to escape. Hope that she’ll be reunited with Beckham. Hope that when she gets out of here, love will be waiting on the other side.

Except escape isn’t salvation. It’s only the beginning.

Because the world outside has changed. Lines have been drawn. Allegiances have shifted. And Reyna? She’s no longer the girl who walked willingly into the dark.

But she’d do it all over again for Beckham.

Now she has to decide how far she’ll go to reclaim her freedom…and the vampire she’s fallen for. Because power runs through Reyna’s veins, power others will do anything to control―which means she’ll have to do more than just survive.

She’ll have to fight back.

Don't miss out on the stunning DELUXE LIMITED EDITION while supplies last. This breathtaking collectible is only available on a limited first print run in the U.S. and Canada only, a must-have for any book lover.

Book 2 in the series with Vampires, Rebellion, & Spice

March 13, 2026

This book picks up right where The Monster and the Last Blood Match leaves off, and since it’s another vampire story, I was immediately in. I really love the world and the storyline this series is building. The writing style also makes these books incredibly easy to read, I flew through this one in just over a day, just like the first book. And that ending! The cliffhanger completely caught me off guard. I definitely didn’t see it coming, and now I’m already impatiently waiting for book three. )

Absolutely fantastic!!!

I got the first book as a blind book date, finished it in a day. Ordered this one the next day and finished it within a day and a half. Easy read, fantastic plot twists. I sobbed at the end, can’t wait to get the third one when it comes out. By far one of my favorite stories I’ve read in a long time. Absolutely fantastic. )

Middle child syndrom

October 27, 2025

This unfortunately suffers middle book syndrome and there is something about the writing that feels...off. Now that I've got that out of the way, I must say this cliffhanger has me climbing the walls. The build up was a river of molasses that eventually heated up and drowned us all. There were so many new characters and I have trust issues to genuinely like any of them. The betrayal was obvious as were some of the traps, it just kept speed bumping to get there. I was satisfied, but it didn't...
