About this listen

From Scott Pratt, the Wall Street Journal and Amazon best-selling author of the beloved Joe Dillard series, comes the first installment in a fresh new series featuring Presley Carter, a tenacious Southern heroine.

Lonnie Black, a man with a dark and dangerous past, has just been elected as the new governor of the state of Tennessee.

Shortly after he takes office, some of the state’s most heinous and vile criminals see their sentences commuted to time served, releasing dangerous men onto a vulnerable public.

Presley Carter is a bright, hungry young defense attorney plying her trade in the areas in and around Nashville. Though she’s haunted by a horrifying event from her past, she’s achieved local renown as a savvy, resourceful lawyer adept at handling–and winning–tough cases. After being approached to file a clemency petition by a father whose son committed a gruesome double-murder, Presley reluctantly agrees to file the document, knowing full well the request has no chance of being granted. When she receives a phone call informing her the convict’s release has been approved, however, she’s shocked to learn she’s been unwittingly drawn into an evil scheme that could reach as high as the halls of the state capitol. Presley must then make a difficult choice. Should she stand idly by and allow a shadowy syndicate of corruption to fester in her backyard? Or should she follow in her father’s footsteps and take a stand, placing her in the crosshairs of one of the most vicious, powerful men the state has ever seen?

Will Presley be able uphold the righteousness of her beloved justice system? Or will the weight of a diseased and brutal criminal organization crush her along with those she loves?

Blood Is Black is an addictive thriller filled with heart that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and Presley Carter is destined to become one of the most beloved heroines in the genre.

Entertaining but not believable

I look forward to all of his books. This one is not to missed, and the narrater is fabulous.

Wonderful story

I dislike a “hook “ at the end of a book. I’m sure authors design them to entice the reader to get the next novel in the series. It has the opposite effect on me. If the current book does that, so may the next.

Soured at the Very End

I thoroughly enjoyed the book from start to finish. The book is the perfect combination of underdog overcoming incredible odds, the good guys win, a feel good factor and leaves one hanging anticipating the next book in series. Presley Carter brings a lot of Joe Dillard qualities to the story. I love the Joe Dillard series and all of Scott Pratt’s works. There is lots of great authors but none greater than Scott Pratt. Thanks for another wonderful book.

I really enjoyed this series. I cannot wait for the second one to come out. I’d love the character of Presley, I think she’s confident, but also girly enough to enjoy her with intelligence and her empathy for clients.

Great dialogue nice twist at times
