Grab Instantly Blood For Blood Engineered By D.S. Allen Released Through Hardcover

historical thriller, which fitted in well to what I believe I know aboutth Century 'British Isles'.
The plot had many stock historical themes from the Civil War and Protectorate periods, That isn't a criticism, as historical fiction without strong anchors in well studied events is very difficult to buy into.

The book is well enough written, conveying all the hardships and customary behaviours associated with those torturous times without every straying far into harsh graphic detail.
This creates a book for a very wide readership, We are given the colours and outlines, being left free to paint the stronger images for ourselves, That doesn't mean the story lacks bite, far from it,
The characters are drawn with a depth of individual and understandable emotions and prejudices, especially in the light of the historic backdrop.
As one living much of my life in one of the last country houses to hold to the King, in one of the strongest Royalist areas in the Civil War, I have always had an interest in that history.
I read nothing that grated against my preconceptions, I wish I had written this plot,
Of interest to me is the strong connection this book has with so much that is currently happening as a result of interactions between prejudiced religious beliefs and cultural intolerances.
I don't know if any of this was in Allen's mind as he wrote, but it was certainly in the mind of this reader.

To summarise: a good plot, with familiar historic anchors from an exciting period, written well,
This book was free from Amazon,

Whatever you do, Mr, Allen, do not stop writing!
The author's writing mechanics were good, There were a few grammatical errors of the most common sort: personal pronouns, The author's pick up timing was excellent, The characters had so much life about them that transitioning from character to character was easy and welcomed.
I think the storyline was typical for the time and setting, circath century England, Although England's system of laws and courts were settled, the mere accusation of witchcraft, loyalist tendencies, revolutionary tendencies, or other matters that came and went in vogue could end in disastrous outcomes such as the law should not have allowed, but it did.
That, to me, was the real tragedy of the story and that tragedy made this book a great read.


That matters would not bode well for the Davenports was clear when Robert White's part was played and ended.
I suppose Daniel's final meeting with Hugo exemplified both souls in torment, but only one soul remained there after the meeting was ended.


The story ended abruptly, and it took me a while to digest the significance of everything I had read.
The story was profound, and it ended profoundly leaving me with this remembrance about another cross borne

by another man: It is finished.


Thank you, Mr, Allen, for a Good Read, We are proud to announce that BLOOD FOR BLOOD by D S Allen is a B, R. A. G. Medallion Honoree. This tells a reader that this book is well worth their time and money! Blood for Blood recounts the story of the latter stages of the English Civil War when the country was out to seek revenge on those who continued to wreak havoc on a country torn apart by bloodshed.
What then follows is an interesting account of a troubled and dangerous period in English history,

The story starts well, the narrative flows, and there are enough twists and turns in plot to make interesting reading.
The story of revenge is well thought out and whilst the two male protagonists are very different men, they are each principled in their own way and their very differences will forever pit them against each other.
The inclusion into the story of the rise in witchcraft mania adds an extra dimension to what is in effect a story of bloodshed, revenge and maniacal retribution on a grand scale.



It is obvious that the author has spent considerable time and energy in researching this period in history and writes with great enthusiasm.

The Historicity of Blood For Blood,
The foundation for Blood For Blood came from two main ideas, The first of which was to include a witchcraft trial in the novel, Secondly, I wanted the plot to be driven within the backdrop of historical events, In other words, to weave the plot through historical events, which acted as a catalyst in the lives of the fictional main characters.
Some There are others, but I wont include them because of potential plot spoilers of these historical events include:

I came across Blood for Blood while looking for an adventure book full of action.
I was pretty much hooked from the first chapter with this book, The main character Daniel has lots of decisions to make and a lot on the line if he doesn't make the right one.
This book had a great plot with tons of unexpected twists and turns that had me turning pages practically faster than I could read them.
I would highly recommend this book if you enjoy action, adventure, drama, or just a plain good read.
I will certainly be looking for more from this author soon, I was willing to forgive a few glaring plot inconsistencies, but the tacked on, rushed ending really didn't make sense.
Don't bother. Blood For Blood is a B, R. A. G. Medallion Honoree
