When thirteen-year-old Ronan Truelove's seemingly ordinary mom snatches him from school, then sets off on a high-speed car chase, Ronan is shocked. His quiet, nerdy dad has been kidnapped? And the kidnappers are after him, too? His mom, he quickly learns, is anything but ordinary. In fact, she's a member of an ancient order of knights, the Blood Guard, a sword-wielding secret society sworn to protect the Pure, thirty-six noble souls whose safety is crucial if the world as we know it is to survive. Now all those after-school activities, gymnastics, judo, and survival training, she made him take make sense. For suddenly Ronan is swept up in a sometimes funny, sometimes scary, but always thrilling adventure, dashing from one danger to the next, using his wits to escape the Bend Sinister, a posse of evildoers with strange powers. Falling in with two unlikely companions, Greta, a scrappy, strong-willed girl he's never much liked, and Jack, a devil-may-care teenage pickpocket, Ronan is left with only his wits and his mom's last words of advice: Trust no one.… (mer)

This is the first book in the Blood Guard series. Ronan Truelove discovers that his mother is a member of the Blood Guard on this Earth to protect "Pures," who unknowingly maintain balance in the world between good and evil. A group called the "Bend Sinister" is out to upset that balance in order to start a new world order. Ronan accidentally gets caught up in the battle that ultimately leads back to his own family. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the next book in the series, The Glass Gauntlet. ( )

Evelyn Ronan Truelove is a kid with a weird name and even weirder hobbies. He prefers to be called Ronan and has fencing, karate and gymnastics for after school activities. When his mom picks him up from school one day and they're tailed by a mysterious van, that's when he learns the truth. His mother is a member of an elite organization called the Blood Guard. They're an order of knights who protect a group of thirty-six people called the Pure and an evil group called the Bend Sinister is after them and they have already kidnapped his father. From there starts Ronan's incredible journey with his friend Greta and a new accomplice named Jack. Before I even read book, I committed a grave sin and judged this book by its cover. I expected a magical boy narrative where a tween finds out they're the chosen one like Harry Potter or Percy Jackson but I was pleasantly surprised. It's full of adventure and the action is fast-paced so the story moves pretty quickly. People are not what they seem and there's a pretty good twist at the end. I would recommend for readers who are fans of the Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and the Hunger Games series. There's plenty of adventure, excitement and story to keep them entertained. ( )

Do you know the feeling you get when you start a new book, in a new series or by an author you have not read before, and you suddenly realize that you have stumbled onto a jewel of a book? And then you discover that it is not a stand alone, but the beginning of a series? A funny, exciting, delightful, action-packed series with characters you adore? That is the effect that this book had on me.

The writing is humorous, light, exciting, and thoughtful. The characters are admirable, fascinating and complex. Immediately, I wanted to know more about them, and cared about what was going to happen to them, It is very hard to put this down without reading the entire book.

Evelyn Ronan Truelove is the hero, approachable but still very admirable. Jack Dawkins is the perfectly written lovable scapegrace of a big brother figure. The Blood Guard itself is mysterious, powerful, ancient and a force for good. The enemies are fearsome and resourceful.

Ronan begins the story with no idea that the Blood Guard even exists, or that his mother is much more than she seems. Together with Ronan, we learn more about the Blood Guard and the people who work for and against the secret organization.

This is a must read for everyone, and especially great for reluctant readers and for older children and YA book clubs.
