Summary
Mack might be, to all intents and purposes, a normal looking human, but she lives with a pack of shapeshifters in Cornwall in rural England after being dumped there by her mother when she was just a young child. She desperately wants to be accepted by her surrogate family, not least because a lot of them hate her for merely being human, but for some reason her blood just won't allow the transformation to occur. With a terrible temper to match her fiery red hair, Mack is extraordinarily useful in a fight, and when her pack alpha is brutally and abruptly murdered, she swears vengeance. Unfortunately, his murder also draws in the Brethren - the leaders of the shapeshifter world - who will slaughter everyone in Mack's small rural pack if they discover her true identity. Unfortunately Corrigan, the green-eyed muscle-bound Lord Alpha of the Brethren, doesn't let much slip by him.

Blood fire
I enjoyed the story , it was unique and Mackenzie was a great heroine .I thought in the beginning it was a little tedious because of the narration , but I persevered and it was worth it . It’s really not difficult to do do a Cornish accent , I’m from Cornwall and it was so far away from the accent it was laughable . I think if you can’t do some just don’t try! Any way I am going to read the next in the series because the storyline is great

British, Australian and Irish accent mix
The bizarre mix of normal English, posh English, Australian and Irish accents used for characters that were supposed to be born and bred in Cornwall made it a little difficult to concentrate on story. I did enjoyed the story itself but I found the performance a bit distracting, the mispronunciation of Celtic and a couple of other words were particularly frustrating. When she did get the accent right though it was very well read, reminiscent of Sophie Aldred who I adore.

A fantastic series
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this series. it's a great storyline that brings shifters, mages, fae, and odd magical creatures together to fight for the greater good. The narrator does help to bring the book to life, but unfortunately, I found her "Alex voice" pretty irritating by book 2 and a few mispronounced words. I think as a narrator, you should look up and learn the correct pronunciation of an unfamiliar word. However, I would still recommend this 5 book series without any hesitation.

Fun light hearted book, kick ass fights
Great little urban fantasy kick ass heroine with good fight scenes and without too much romance but seriously irritating reader.. Its set in Cornwall, the reader is Australian or New Zealand accent and mispronounces Celtic every time she says it. Lovely voice but .. really!!! there is Celtic (with a hard C/k sound culture) and Celtic (soft c/s sound football team...) Would have nice for it to have been read in a gentle Cornish accent with maybe a few words of Cornish thrown in.

Great story
Thoroughly enjoyed this story - the dilemmas, the angst, the slow-burn romance, the realistic world and the believable, well drawn characters. It was a good adventure. Narration was engaging enough to listen to, but like going along a road with unexpected potholes - mispronunciations that jarred every so often. Not just Celtic, but almost all slang words and a few others - it was a bit odd, but not enough to put me off - will be downloading the next in series.

What will the kitten do next?
Halfway through I was shouting at the storey line it was becoming so clear. I wish she did more like healing her sick pack mates before she went through the portal. I’m eggar to see what’s in stored or our little kitten.

Light sort of romanticy chiclit with fighting?
What made the experience of listening to Bloodfire the most enjoyable?
The narration was really good. The characters were fun, the action scenes were thought out.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Bloodfire?
The bickering.
What about Saskia Maarleveld’s performance did you like?
Good all round.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The Cornwall you never knew existed.
Any additional comments?
The heroine got a little bit whiny from time to time but it was nice to see her try her best and not need rescuing all the time like so many other heroines in this genre.
