This story has everything!

In Blood and Oak, Bettencourt’s vivid writing confidently balances a compelling cast of characters with well paced action that never misses a beat – by the final chapter, the only thing you’ll be looking for is the next book. The story is fast, focused and original. It’s also clearly rooted in solid historical research that’s woven into the details of the wide, rich world through which John Sullivan, Melisande Dufort and others adventure. The only thing that may be better than reading a good book is listening to one, especially with a narrator like Baldree. Other reviewers have mentioned the possibility of sequels. I’m really hoping this is the first in a series, that Bettencourt and Baldree team up again, and that there’s much more of John Sullivan and his adventures to come.
