Blessed Tantalize Cynthia Leitich Smith Books

"Blessed" is a great wrap up to the stories that were started in "Tantalize" & "Eternal." In "Blessed," Quincie Morris is learning to deal with her life as a new vampire, & Zachary (the angel from "Eternal") is assigned to save her soul. This pairing is the first attempt at saving a vampire's soul, so there is a lot on the line for both Quincie & Zachary.

Brad, Quincie's sire, leaves at the beginning of the book, but he soon begins to haunt Quincie in her dreams. She also learns that Brad may have infected some of Austin's residents with vampirism, & Quincie realizes she must stop them from making a full transition into members of the undead. With the help of Zachary, her werepossum friend Clyde, & his girlfriend Aimee (also potentially infected), Quincie sets out for a showdown with Brad.

"Blessed" is better than both "Tantalize" & "Eternal," & I love the references to Bram Stoker's "Dracula."

Blessed Tantalize Cynthia Leitich Smith Books Reviews

I thought about reading the first two books in the Tantalize series prior to this one but I already had a free copy of Blessed sitting on my shelf. So... I cheated and started with book 3! Lucky for me, this novel stands well enough on its own and the story is so good that I'll be checking out the first two installments sometime soon. There's not much werewolf action in this tale but from what bits there were I gather that I missed out by skipping ahead! Another reason for me to revisit this series.

The restaurant side of the story line really appealed to me. I enjoyed the way that despite all of the turmoil in Quincie's life, the center of her universe is Sanguini's. To outsiders her passion may seem a little odd. I mean what teenager likes working other than for the benefits of spending money? But, for Morris it's more than just a restaurant; it's her family business. I grew up in a similar environment but in a different industry. Regardless, I could easily relate to Quincie's dedication and entrepreneurial spirit. The only thing that perplexed me a bit was the amount of time that she spends at Sanguini's vs school. Apparently Morris is a full-time high school student but her trips to the classroom seem to be few and far between.

There are quite a few little extras scattered throughout the book that give it a personal touch. The snippets include the restaurant's menu offerings, correspondence letters and even a summary of the Dracula novel. These elements weren't crucial to the story development but I appreciated that they were there.

It's rare that I'll find myself in tears while reading a book and I most certainly didn't expect to shed any over this tale but surprise, surprise! There was one particular scene that just got to me. Fortunately for me I was home alone at the time so I was saved from the embarrassment of having to admit that a Young Adult book made me cry! That one chapter aside, there were some very uplifting moments as well. I like a novel that plays on my emotions and Blessed definitely achieves that in spades.

The third installment in Cynthia Leitich Smith's Tantalize series is intoxicating, expressive and has multi-layered meanings. Quincie, the main character, stands out in the sea of supernaturals which is a rare feat in a Twilight-esque novel. The links made between Blessed and Bram Stoker's Dracula are inspired and add a modern day twist to a classic tale. I can't vouch for the other two books of this series (yet) but if they're anything like this one; they deserve to be read!
Did get the right book, but got excellent customer service.
Loved this story for years! Will forever enjoy, eternally. Now on to book 4!!
10/10 stars would GLADLY read again!
Loved this book
I give this book five glorious stars.

I am very picky about the books I read,if the way they are worded,from the characters to the story plot doesn't catch my attention,or spark me in any way the book goes back on the shelf immediately,but the Novel had me spell bound the moment I picked it up.

I loved the story plot,I loved the characters,and especially Quince who proved that even girls can kick some butt,but still dress up for parties,and be romantically involved,even if the guy she loves turns wolf-e on full moon,LOL.

I would highly recommend this book to friends,family and supernatural story fanatics like me.
Cynthia Leitich Smith returns to her Dark Universe Series with Blessed the third and possibly last installment. Blessed brings us full circle and we are reunited with the original heroine and characters from Tantalize. Fans of Alex Flinn and her modern retellings of classic fairy tales like Beastly will enjoy Smith's contemporary take of Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Quincie, Our favorite teenage vampire restaurateur is learning to balance her new secret undead lifestyle with her old pre-death life. We pick up right after the end of Tantalize, Kieren is off to live with the pack, her uncle, guardian, and last living relative has met his true death. Her vampire sire Bradley Sanguini is gone leaving holes in her staff, and the weight of his world dominating plans on her shoulders. Quincie has some challenges ahead while she works to reopen Sanguini's, combat the potential fallout from the baby squirrel eaters, and maintaining her new dietary needs from Kieren's family. Fortunately Quincie has an angel on her side. Eternal's Zachary and a few of his cohorts join the fray and the wait staff to give Quincie the edge she's gonna need to overcome Brad's latest evil plans and Dracula Prime. It's the ultimate battle of good vs evil and the powers that be have Quincie playing an important role. What's left of her soul is at stake, and the redemption of Brad's victims.

Blessed is a highly entertaining book. Like Tantalize Blessed is outlined using the concept of a menu, which I found to be a quirky and a fresh take on creating a framework for the story. I like the merging of the two previous books and characters and how they combined to remake a classic. But the lull in release dates, prompts me to recommend rereading the Tantalize and Eternal before Blessed. I while I remembered Tantalized and recalled more as the book went on, I had a really hard time recalling Eternal. The two years in between really took their toll. Overall I think this book was great fans of the first two won't be disappointed. Though I think the story arc has come to an end, like the short provided at the end of Blessed, I hope Smith continues to write in her Dark Universe.
