The Captive and the First Blood Game

Blood Type #2 / 3 ✓
by K.A. Linde
The Captive and the First Blood Game (Blood Type #2) by K.A. Linde
Unrated

Before The Wren in the Holly Library, there was The Monster and the Last Blood Match and as the provocative, sensual Blood Type series continues, the rare bond between Reyna and Beckham is threatened by betrayal, greed, and twisted secrets.

Everyone wants a piece of her.
He wants it all.

Reyna Carpenter trusted the wrong people…and paid the price.

Held captive in the heart of a vampire empire, her freedom stripped and blood claimed, Reyna survives the only way she knows how―hope. Hope that she’ll find a way to escape. Hope that she’ll be reunited with Beckham. Hope that when she gets out of here, love will be waiting on the other side.

Except escape isn’t salvation. It’s only the beginning.

Because the world outside has changed. Lines have been drawn. Allegiances have shifted. And Reyna? She’s no longer the girl who walked willingly into the dark.

But she’d do it all over again for Beckham.

Now she has to decide how far she’ll go to reclaim her freedom…and the vampire she’s fallen for. Because power runs through Reyna’s veins, power others will do anything to control―which means she’ll have to do more than just survive.

She’ll have to fight back.

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.
