Follow Me When the Sun Goes Down Forged Bloodlines Book 5 eBook Lisa Olsen
I confess, I had my doubts when I met Anja Evans in the first book of the Forged Bloodline series. She was naive and struggling and out of control--and now I see that that was the point. By the time we get to this, the fifth book, she's got herself under control, not to mention most of the West.Follow Me is a tightly written, smooth, and ever so tasty read. Themes and characters develop at a good clip. Romances tangle in new and interesting ways. Anja continues to grow, and we get even more insight into the various characters while the plot dances along. (One gets good close-ups of Bishop's clay feet, and meets nasty new villains.) And yet, the author remembers to bring in past acquaintances in a meaningful fashion. And then there are the trials: You have to test and sometimes torture your figments to see what they're made of, and Lisa does a bang-up job without losing our trust in her as author. This book does not disappoint.
By now, I want to have Anja on speed dial. She's a modern woman who is dealing very well with faking it 'til you make it in a very scary community. Yeah, as Rob, her faithful Guy Friday says, she's got this one. Her voice comes through very clearly, with humor and real-grrl wit.
I sure hope that Lisa wants to keep this series going! Bravo!

Follow Me When the Sun Goes Down Forged Bloodlines Book 5 eBook Lisa Olsen Reviews
Overall this was an enjoyable book. It started a bit slow but picked up a little. The book is mostly vampire politics with Anja causing chaos by disrupting the current institution. The strength of this book is the last third. The build up to the end and the end itself was very good. I'm left wondering where the series is going. At the end it feels like everything that needed to be accomplished has been. There needs to be more of a big picture story.
This series is the absolute best! If ever a series I never want to end, this would be it. The storytelling, character development, everything is just masterfully written by Lisa Olsen. Thank you for continuing to write, even though I lose lots of sleep and I am zombie the day after reading all night, it is always worth it.
Anja is one of my favorite characters, sure she annoys me sometimes (just grab rob and kiss him yourself girl!) but that is the sign of a great character. She's not a real person yet she has me pulling for her as if she was.
I can't wait for the next book!!
I think this is the book that sealed my fate of being Team BiRoJak...They all have the good qualities, they all have those things that make me crazy, but the good seems to outweigh the bad by far in all of them.
Anja is the Elder of the West, and she thinks she is over Bishop, (I highly doubt it), Rob is so yummy and stoic, he keeps everything locked tight inside. And Jakob is..well Jakob. There are a bunch of fun new characters to love in this book and the adventure keeps on and Anja is still my dream BFF. I need an Anja in my life, and love this series so much!
Generally an entertaining addition to the series. Anja is certainly feeling her oats as the new Elder of the West, and dealing with her attractions to two men--neither of whom is likely to be a good match for her. The color and interest are there, along with several interesting characters in her growing entourage. My main problem with this whole story is that Anja seems much more interested in protecting the rights of vamps to procreate than she is on the potential devastation to human beings by this. She is always sad when some human dies because of a vamp---yet she has been dedicated to protecting the vamps involved. She leaves it up to others to do the "dirty work" about this. She has moral qualms about taking blood from paid volunteers at clubs, but has no problem in taking it from a nice innocent (unpaid) human she meets outside...and then making the human forget it. I'd like to see her deal with the problem of vamps as predators against a relatively ignorant and vulnerable human population. There cannot be TOO many, Anja...and you might try taking Jakob up on his offer soon!
I can't write a long review of this book because it really is just the continuing story of Anja and her life as a vampire, she takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
She is now the Elder of the West through almost misadventures and she still has some grievances to settle. I should say this is the best book of the series but I probably felt that way about the last book and the one before that one.
If you love cheering for the underdog, love unexpected surprises this is the book, you get a ton of romance and frustration in Anja's love life but she is a one of a kind heroine.
5 Stars and I am hoping she writes the next one soon as she did this one, it was beyond great.
NOTE This is one of those gushing reviews I hate to see people write but it is late, I am tired but I had to finish this book, no way I could sleep until I was done. It really was that good. I went back and reread the last 20 pages a second time, I can count on 1 hand the number of times I have done that.
I'm finding that the best way to review long series is to start with book one and update the review as I move through the books. In general Lisa Olson does a good job with this series. I have completed through book 10 but really feel like the series should have ended at book 8 (book 9 and 10 are 3 stars at best). Anja makes a good heroine, she does not completely fall into the trap of turning on the water works all the time, though there are more than I like in a strong character. My biggest complaint about the first 8 books is that if felt like the author held her punches. Powerful story arcs seemed to resolve themselves far to quickly (and neatly) at their conclusion, the romance(s) came up short of being really steamy (though I will say the heat turned up in books 9 & 10), and the back and forth - he loves me, he loves me not - seemed to drag on just a bit to much. My last qualm would be the timeline -at last count the entire 10 book series happens over about 2 years and I just can't figure out why it's so compacted, a longer timeline would have made events more believable. Olsen's work here is not up to the level of the heavy hitters but I have enjoyed the read.
