The Monster and the Last Blood Match

Blood Type #1 / 3 ✓

The Monster and the Last Blood Match (Blood Type #1) by K.A. Linde
Unrated

Before The Wren in the Holly Library, there was The Monster and the Last Blood Match―the enthralling beginning to a world of passion, power, and secrets. When a human ventures into the world of vampires, she discovers that not all is what it seems.

For Reyna Carpenter, giving up her body isn’t a choice―it’s survival.

In a world where humans are currency and vampires rule from the shadows, Reyna accepts a high-paying position among the wealthy and ruthless elite. Her new job: a live-in blood escort for the enigmatic and dangerously powerful Beckham Anderson. She expects cruelty. She expects hunger. She expects to become his next meal.

But Beckham won’t drink from her.

He keeps his distance, his unreadable gaze shadowed by something far more dangerous than just desire. As the nights pass, Reyna begins to sense it―an invisible war being waged around her, secrets that twist through the corridors of Visage, and whispers of something far more valuable than power.

Because Reyna isn’t just rare―she’s the key to something bigger than she ever imagined. And the reason Beckham refuses to taste her blood?

It might not just change them―it might destroy everything.

K.A. Linde

K.A. Linde's writing invites readers to step into worlds where love is anything but simple. Her novels pulse with the kind of raw emotion and complex relationships that keep readers turning pages late into the night, eagerly seeking both the heartache and the hope her stories deliver. Known for her contemporary romance and fantasy, Linde's work balances intense passion with moments of vulnerability, creating a distinctive voice that resonates deeply with fans.

Born into a military family, Linde's childhood was anything but static. Moving frequently across the United States, with a brief stint in Australia, she learned early on the art of adaptation. But more than just adjusting to new places, she discovered her love for creating stories—imaginary worlds to ground herself when the world around her was ever-changing. By the age of 14, she had penned her first novel—a 90,000-word story sparked by a geography assignment—and from that moment, the idea of writing became inseparable from her identity.

Though her path to becoming a full-time author took some unexpected turns, Linde’s career has always been marked by a deep drive to tell stories that explore love in all its messy, beautiful complexity. After studying political science at the University of Georgia and working on a variety of projects—including coaching the Duke University dance team and spearheading campaign efforts—Linde finally returned to her passion for writing. Her breakout success came with the Avoiding Series, a deeply emotional contemporary romance saga that won over readers with its fierce, flawed characters and tension-filled relationships.

But Linde isn’t just a storyteller—she’s an architect of worlds where love and loyalty are tested to the brink. Her Wright series further cemented her place as a leader in the contemporary romance genre, while her more recent forays into fantasy with The Oak and Holly Cycle display her versatility and ability to blend magic with human emotion.

Living in Lubbock, Texas, with her husband, young son, and their Italian Greyhound, Hippo, Linde still finds inspiration in the world around her. When she’s not writing, she enjoys pole fitness, reading, and traveling—a perfect mix of activities that feed both her creativity and her sense of adventure. For Linde, writing is more than just a career; it's a way of navigating the highs and lows of human experience. Whether she’s exploring love, loss, or the beauty of self-discovery, her stories continue to captivate and inspire.

K.A. Linde’s journey from a young girl writing stories in her room to a bestselling author is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance. With every book, she draws readers deeper into her vivid worlds, making them feel seen, understood, and forever changed by the love stories she creates.
