The first book in an urban fantasy series about loyalty, power, and the rules of survival. Vampires are the only guardians Vance Ehecatl has ever known since he was abandoned by his shapeshifter family. He is grateful to them for generously providing for all of his needs and for offering him a home in the powerful empire of Midnight. But when an act of violence forces Vance from his sheltered life, he’s startled to meet Malachi Obsidian, a fellow shapeshifter with conflicting ideas about Midnight and its leader, Mistress Jeshickah. Malachi claims Vance is a bloodwitch, who Jeshickah and her trainers, Jaguar and Taro, are trying to control. Vance doesn't know anything about the rare and destructive magic Malachi says he possesses, and he can't believe Jeshickah would use it to hurt others. But when his friends begin falling ill, Vance starts to realize his perfect world may not be as flawless as it seems. Now Vance must decide who to trust—the vampires he's always relied upon, or the shapeshifters who despise them. Praise for Bloodwitch, Book 1 in the Maeve’ra trilogy: "Edgy world building, with cultures and societies based loosely on real history, is compelling. This book is highly recommended for Atwater-Rhodes fans and urban fantasy or alternate reality readers." —VOYA "A satisfying read." —SLJ "Plenty of fun ahead for the author’s many fans." —Kirkus "Atwater-Rhodes made a splash with her first novel, In the Forests of the Night (1999). Since then she has continued writing lush fantasies of fully realized, well conceived worlds, and the first volume in the new Maeve’ra series is no exception." —Booklist

This is something that deeply saddens me; when I was younger, the novels of the world of Nyeusigrube (Rhodes' "Den of Shadows") ruled my shelves. When she expanded her world and created the astoundingly beautiful "Kiesha'ra" series dedicated to the warring shapeshifters, I was even more enthralled. It was after those books -- the original four Den of Shadows entries and the five Kiesha'ra -- that things changed. Her characters became more juvenile, the world itself less tightly bound together, and entries in Nyeusigrube became quite uneven; consider the dizzying shifts in perspective in the strange "Persistence of Memory" to the extremely well-written and grounded "Token of Darkness", the beauty in "Shattered Mirror"'s unexpected sequel "All Just Glass" to the extreme mishandling of the brutal Bruja guilds in the profoundly misguided "Poison Tree". The latest entry, "Promises to Keep", was extremely interesting and seemed a real return to form, but to be honest, I approached "Bloodwitch" with serious misgivings.I am thrilled to report that she proved me wrong. "Bloodwitch" is the first entry in a new set within Nyeusigrube, and Rhodes chose an extremely good approach to this world by both starting over fresh with new characters, politics and intrigues but still featuring some of the characters we know and love from her previous work, set within the horrifically beautiful world of Midnight introduced in her excellent "Midnight Predator"."Bloodwitch" follows the story of Vance, a quetzal shapeshifter who lives within a gilded cage in Midnight, the feared vampiric empire whose lifeblood is the trafficking of slaves, human and non-human alike. The reader is invited into Vance's world as the young man's eyes are forced to open past the shelter he's been provided with to the horrifying work that goes into keeping his world spinning, and it's a heartbreaking journey as Vance is as innocent and naive as any child who finally has to learn that his parents are not perfect. There is intrigue, danger, manipulations, lies, twists and turns aplenty, and to be frank, it's an adult take on the worlds that Rhodes has set up, something she seems to have abandoned since ending the "Kiesha'ra" series. The book is admittedly a bit slow at times, but once the finale nears and the body count racks up it ends in a satisfyingly tense note, and the front cover's warning to "fear those kept in cages" offers a chilling glimpse into this projected trilogy's future.**Spoiler Alert: The reasons why I gave this novel four stars rather than five involve spoilers for all of Rhodes' works.**The only thing keeping me from giving this novel a five star is that there is not enough given to world-building. To be completely truthful, the only reason I was able to walk into this world as easily as I was is that I recently re-read the Nyeusigrube bibliography from start to finish. Jaguar plays a minor role in this book, but if you hadn't read "Midnight Predator" he was rather unimportant and his blind slave's inclusion means nothing to you. Also, as another reviewer pointed out, the inclusion (briefly) of the hawk Alasdair was confusing as to quite when this novel took place; that was a big thing to reveal without explaining.Aside from that, it was a much more mature, enjoyable read than some of her recent works, and though it could have done with some more worldbuilding, relying more on familiarity with past works than with drawing in new readers, "Bloodwitch" was extremely interesting and I really do look forward to the book two in the "Maeve'ra" trilogy.

By Heather Sexton I've loved this author since I was young (in middle school) her books are just perfect as I've gotten older I can admit that some of her books don't appeal to me as much but I've still read and own EVERY one of her books. I would recommend all of her books to everyone who can read. Start with In the Forest of the Night. (her first book) and read them in order. it helps with the den of shadows books cuz she revisits old characters but you don't have to read them in order to understand some of the stuff but it helps so you already know the characters. The Kiesha'Ra series is next and is great if you like suspenders all kinds. All her books are great. Again, I think everyone should read them.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great for Fans! By Feelah the tigress Over the past year, real life had crept up on me, and I hadn't even noticed that my favorite author had released a new book until now! I've been a fan of Amelia's since middle school, and although I'm no longer within the target age range for her books (far from), I find that I still enjoy them. After her last book, Promises to Keep, I was feeling rather anxious about how any future sequels would fare (some rather intense changes take place in that book, but I won't spoil it here). However, this book does not take place chronologically after that book, but instead is set in the distant past (in the 1800s). Oh well, so it's not a sequel. Nonetheless, I did enjoy it.The book follows protagonist Vance Ehecatl, a shapeshifter who was raised in luxury and gently cared for, but who is essentially being manipulated by his vampire overlords. Eventually, he must choose where his loyalties lie. I'm not going to give away any more of the plot than that, but suffice it to say, it's a great and interesting new perspective from Ms. Atwater-Rhodes. I've read every single book of hers (plus extra stuff on her website), so I can definitely say that this book offers a new and fresh perspective. Diehard fans of her books will be quite pleased with it.However, this book isn't really for “newcomers” to the series. In fact, in the past I was able to describe certain books of hers as okay starting points for people unfamiliar with her works, but with each passing book, it's become apparent to me that anyone who doesn't already have a background in her world will be awfully confused. This book is no different. I know some might claim that you could jump in right here and be fine, but that's not really the case (and judging by the other reviews where people were obviously confused, I'm quite right about that). That being said, I personally loved this new book, but I'm already very familiar with her world, and many of the characters featured here were introduced previously in other books (and indeed, for the dedicated fan, seeing all those cameos were great!). Many of the characters, though, were fleshed out much better in previous books, and I can imagine that a new reader wouldn't really understand these people without that prior knowledge (in fact, it's helpful to have even read all the supplementary information in the wiki page on her website). A new reader would probably not understand much of anything that happened in this book, and I don't blame them for being confused at all. Still, I did enjoy it.So...do I recommend “Bloodwitch?” Well, if you're already a fan of Ms. Atwater-Rhodes' writing and have read her other books, then yes, it's quite the treat! However, if you are new to her writings, I'd suggest starting with her very first book, “In the Forest of the Night” and just reading them in order of release. I know that reading that many books is a pretty big investment, but you'll know after the first two or three if her writing style is for you or not. I'm already a huge fan and love her work, but not everyone does, so I guess that's up to you. You'll just have to read and find out!
