How Blood Singer Began
The Blood Singer series sprang to life in 2010, born from the creative partnership of C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp, who met as paralegals in a Denver law firm. Combining their love for storytelling, they crafted a unique urban fantasy world under the pseudonym Cat Adams. Their goal? To create a heroine who was both relatable and extraordinary, navigating a magical underbelly of Los Angeles. The series’ gritty realism and innovative supernatural elements, like Celia’s rare hybrid nature, set it apart in a crowded genre.
The duo’s collaboration leveraged their complementary strengths: C.T. Adams excelled at tight plots and vivid characters, while Cathy Clamp brought sizzling action and emotional stakes. Their shared vision resulted in a series that feels both cinematic and intimate, earning praise for its fresh take on urban fantasy tropes.
The Heart of Blood Singer
The series kicks off with Blood Song (2010), where Celia Graves, an elite bodyguard, is ambushed by vampires while protecting a European prince. The attack leaves her as an ‘abomination’—neither fully human nor vampire—facing enemies on all sides. In Siren Song (2010), Celia discovers her latent Siren heritage, which lets her enthrall men and enrage women, adding new layers to her struggles. Demon Song (2011) sees her battling a demonic rift, while The Eldritch Conspiracy (2013) dives into royal intrigue as Celia protects her Siren cousin during a politically charged wedding.
Blood Singer shines through its themes of identity and resilience. Celia’s transformation forces her to redefine herself in a world that fears her, blending humor and heartbreak as she grapples with her dual nature. The Los Angeles setting, with its mix of glitz and grit, grounds the supernatural in a tangible reality, while the series’ fast-paced style keeps readers glued to the page. Complex supernatural politics, from vampire hierarchies to Siren clans, add depth, making each book a thrilling puzzle.
Why Blood Singer Resonates
Blood Singer has carved a niche in urban fantasy for its bold heroine and inventive world-building. Fans praise Celia’s stubborn determination and vulnerability, which make her a standout in a genre filled with larger-than-life protagonists. The series’ blend of action, mystery, and romance appeals to readers who love Kim Harrison’s Hollows or Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson but crave something new. Its exploration of identity speaks to anyone who’s ever felt caught between worlds, giving it a timeless emotional core.
Though the series paused after All Your Wishes (2016), its loyal fanbase and critical acclaim, including a 2007 Romantic Times award for Touch of Madness, cement its legacy. Blood Singer remains a hidden gem, perfect for readers seeking a fresh urban fantasy fix.
