Tananarive Due is a very versatile author, who’s probably best known for her best selling novel in the ‘blood series’, My Soul to Keep, followed by The Living Blood and her latest release, Blood Colony. I fell in love with Dawit/David and Tananarive Due when I first met him and was introduced to her via My Soul to Keep. The latest release, Blood Colony, delves into the world of David and Jessica’s daughter, Fana. Fana is typical of most teens who are in a hurry to grow up so that they can be independent and do things their way without ever having to answer to anyone. Unfortunately, Fana is not typical or a normal teen, and when she decides to do it her way, her actions have ramifications that are far reaching and wide. They affect others…actually many. If you’ve read the previous books in the series, I recommend you give the latest book a try. For others who are new to Tananarive Due, I recommend you enter to win a copy of Blood Colony…and also purchase the first two books or borrow them from the library to experience the ‘whole’ blood experience with David, Jessica and Fana. Once you enter their world, you might not want to return to ours.

I didn’t think I was a sci fi fan until I read my first TD book. I have been highly anticipating this book. She’s been away too long!

Due will continue the series with yet a fourth book. Let’s pray she doesn’t make us wait so long.

Sci Fi is not my thing but I’m willing to give TD a try.
Hmmm…I don’t think I’ve read anything by him before!!! donnica22@gmail.com
I read those books and then introduced my daughter to them. I have never been into Scifi until Mrs. Due’s books. I can not even remember what made me pick up the book to begin with, but I am glad I did.
I like her books. The Good House was excellent.
