About this listen
Before there was a modern-day town called Dark Moon Vale, there was an ancient kingdom nestled in the Transylvanian Alps. Before there was a primordial species called the Vampyr, there was a celestial race begotten of gods and men. Before light battled shadow, the sacrifice became mandatory, or the first Blood Moon adorned the celestial sky...
There was The Curse.
A punishment. An abomination. The ultimate act of vengeance.
And it was placed upon a people so corrupted by their thirst for blood and dominion that they awakened the souls of the slain and became the souls of the damned.
Young, beautiful, and in the prime of her life, Jessenia Groza is not ready to die. Yet she has been condemned by Prince Jaegar's men, slated as a sacrifice to the gods.
Timaos Silivasi would gladly risk everything - his power, his privilege, his celestial heart - to save his one true love, but fate has a plan of its own...
For this couple. For this civilization. For this lost race of warriors, who will never be the same.
Every legend has a beginning.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,633
"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

She seeks answers from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won't be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

Do you really know the curse?
What did you love best about Blood Genesis?
I love that we get to see how it all came to pass. Seeing it through the last surviving female. The ultimate sacrifice and promise of an ancestor to the Silivasi's.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jessenia without a doubt. Courageous and kind. Loving and forgiving. She is the ultimate heroine in my opinion.
Have you listened to any of Eric G. Dove’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Eric always bring great dimension to the books. This one is no different.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely, and I did. I was engaged in the story. Tessa Dawn's gift of storytelling is amazing and hearing Eric bring it to life kept me listening to the end.
Any additional comments?
If you've had a chance to hear the rest of the Blood Curse Series you MUST hear this audiobook, you won't be disappointed.

Outstanding! One of a kind
What made the experience of listening to Blood Genesis the most enjoyable?
Eric Dove is a master story teller, he breathes life to the amazing words Tessa Dawn writes I found myself utterly transported to a time and place that left me mezmorized
What other book might you compare Blood Genesis to and why?
I don't think I'd compare any book to Blood Genesis, it truly is a unique one of a kind and yet of course prequel to the Blood Curse Series.
What does Eric G. Dove bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Life and vivid emotion, its hard to read men's emotions from a female point of view but hearing it, theres magic in that.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I found myself enthralled from the very first words, it's not a long book by any means but it explains so much about perhaps how characters in the Blood Curse Series act the way they feel, the reasons that they are who they are. An absolute recommendation from me.
Any additional comments?
Tessa Dawn took this book out of the "ball park" it's beautifully written and has such depth and emotion. It can be read alone of as a prequel to the Blood Curse Series. I have already read it numerous times to take everything in and now I like to sit here and listen to Eric bring those magical inspirational words to life.

I would rank this book right at the top! I own both editions, the kindle version as well as the audible version and they are both AMAZING! (However, if I had to choose, I would choose the audio edition.) The narrator really has a knack of bringing the story's to life!
What other book might you compare Blood Genesis to and why?
I am not sure that I can compare any book to Blood Genesis; this is truly an amazing prequel to an INCREDIBLE series, The Blood Curse Series. Way to go Tessa!
Have you listened to any of Eric G. Dove’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
As I stated above, this narrator is incredible! Eric really has a way of making it seem as if you are in the book, actually visualizing the scenes as they "POP"off the pages of the books he narrates!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
And the story begins....
The Blood Curse... the dark, corrupted beliefs that started it all. Twin brothers of royal birth. One brother so sinister and evil that all he will be able to leave his legacy is to live on the blood of others and exist in the dark. The other brother and his posterity; while still cursed will rise above the darkness and be able to live and love in the light!
Any additional comments?
A classic tale of dark vs. light; good vs. evil! If you are looking for an edge of your seat series; The Blood Curse Series IS FOR YOU! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Oh Tessa..how you and Eric....tease us !
Short but Sweet.
This series is so freak- in …Good !!!!
I could talk about the characters “All Day Long”…LOL I don’t want to rob anyone the joy of experiencing it especially since it is short….so I'm going to take the advice of that biker guy that screams out…” Damn it Donny…..don’t ad-lib”. I normally hate prequels especially since they are usually too short to waste my credit on and always seem to be read by narrators that aren’t good or doesn’t seem comfortable in the story rolls. Eric Dove is reading so we already know that is not going to be the problem here.
It is a good story. It does give a little more information on the beginning of the blood curse and shines a little light on the connection between Napoleon and the Silivasi’s. I did wish it was a little longer because it leaves you wondering and now I have questions on more points than the story tells us about. It was however a really good burp, and didn’t leave me disappointed I spent my whole big credit on it. It is a good prequel.
I guess that is the trait of really good writing/narrating ….It makes you want more…thus…my addiction to the Blood Curse series, which is rivaled only by my addiction to the Blackdagger Brotherhood series.
I will be sitting here….with my celestial credits waiting for the next book in this series to come out.

Awesome Start to a the Great Blood Curse Series
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to all my friends...Even if you have read or listened to any of Tessa's books in the Blood Curse Series Blood Genesis really brings out raw and powerful emotions.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jessenia, so scared, so noble and so in love .... Oh my gosh I felt here every emotion.....
Which scene was your favorite?
Without giving spoiler...in the end when Jessenia realizes Timaos is there with her...I actually feel her relief!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Laugh no, cry yes but also I have more understanding of the blood curse and I enjoyed seeing a young Napoleon and seeing Marquis and his brothers thru Jessenias eyes.
Any additional comments?
Considering this was not a full length audio book it packed in a whole lot of emotion !!!

Hauntingly Dark and Beautiful
If you could sum up Blood Genesis in three words, what would they be?
My headline sums it up. Haunting, Dark, and Beautiful!
What did you like best about this story?
Jessenia's commitment to love. Her love and commitment both to Timaos and her people. Having the strength and courage to see to see things through even when it means truly loosing yourself.
Have you listened to any of Eric G. Dove’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Eric consistently delivers wonderful performances bringing the story to life. He is amazingly talented.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A love and duty like no other.
Any additional comments?
Tessa Dawn weaves such amazing tales. This story is so haunting, beautiful and macabre all at the same time. You know a book is good when you get taken away, transported to that place and time. Tessa really does that with each book. You get emotionally invested in the characters and fall in love with them. This book had me asking could I do that? Could I ever be that brave in the face of utter devastation. Both characters had such amazing courage and love for each other. Listen to Blood Genesis and I promise you will be asking yourself the very same question.

Some have talent - others have a GIFT!
Okay, so there is no doubt that this is a dark and tragic and triumphant story all in one, and it’s amazing how Tessa Dawn wove it together. The thing about her Blood Curse Series that is so unique and compelling is that she managed to completely reinvent the history and mythology of vampires while someone staying true to some of the popular folklore and history at the same time. There is simply nothing out there on the market comparable – these are not just another dime-a-dozen vampire story. For me, Blood Genesis simply underscored the brilliance of Tessa’s world building and imagination. This is where it all begins, and for those who might be worried that it’s a sad, tragic series…don’t! This was the foundation for all the later books, the story behind the Curse. What her vampires do going forward is as amazing and descriptive as her writing. Well done! Fantastic job, as always, by the narrator, Eric Dove. He really brings some extra spice that you just wouldn't get reading it in your head!
