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, 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 evil doers 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.
That’s a lot for an ordinary kid to deal with. But then again, maybe Ronan’s not ordinary at all.

The Blood Guard (The Blood Guard Series), by Carter Roy From School Library Journal Gr 5–8—Ronan Truelove (please don't use his given name, Evelyn!) would like to believe he is a typical 13-year-old. But most 13-year-olds are not trained in krav maga, trapeze, and fencing. When bad guys show up, Ronan's mother reveals that she is a member of the Blood Guard, and instructs Ronan to board a specific train and trust no one. The action and humor never flag as Ronan locates gently sarcastic Jack Dawson, joins up with lockpicker/firearms expert Greta, and tries to stay alive as they make their way to safety in Washington, DC. The ending clearly indicates more books to come. Nick Podehl's fabulous narration will keep listeners on the edge of their seats. His accents and pitches bring the characters to life, from spunky Greta to threatening adults and Dawson's wry "English bloke" tone to nervous foster kid Sammy. With an action-packed story line, diverse and non-stereotypical characters, frequent humor, and Podehl's captivating accents, this book is easy to recommend for any public or school library with an audiobook collection.—Maggie Knapp, Trinity Valley School, Fort Worth, TX
From Booklist When Ronan Truelove’s mother reveals that she is a member of the Blood Guard, a secret society of warriors charged with protecting 36 pure souls who prevent the apocalypse, he is thrust into a world of danger and intrigue. Assisted by opinionated but competent Greta and young guard member Jack, Ronan must try to get to safety as the forces of evil close in. Roy’s first book hits the ground running and doesn’t let up until the end, and his writing is up to the job. His cinematic fight scenes are clearly written, which is deeply important for a book filled with action. While balancing that, he also pays ample attention to his characters, giving each one time to tell his or her history without slowing down the overall pace. One major revelation at the end is telegraphed a bit too early, but by that point, readers won’t care. They’ll just be eager to know how Ronan’s exciting journey will end and be left longing for the next installment. Grades 4-7. --Snow Wildsmith
Review “Roy’s first novel is the humorous and exciting start of a new trilogy.” —Kirkus Reviews “Roy’s first book hits the ground running and doesn’t let up until the end, and his writing is up to the job.” —Booklist“Breathless action, witty dialogue, and unabashed fun…” —Publishers Weekly“This is an adventurous tale with a bit of magic and mystery that will thrill middle grade readers.” —The Parkersburg News and Sentinel “THE BLOOD GUARD sure gets off to a great start.” —Common Sense Media“This is an action-packed book you never want to put down..” —Denver Post“This action packed thrill ride will hold the interest of readers young and old to the very last page.” —Monsters and Critics“Hits the ground running and doesn’t let up until it’s dragged you, gasping and astonished and delighted, over the finish line. Bound to get any kid who owns a flashlight in big trouble for reading under the covers well past bedtime.” —Bruce Coville, author of Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher and My Teacher Is an Alien “Wildly intense and deviously funny, The Blood Guard has real heart as well as characters you’ll fall in love with. This is cool stuff, very cool stuff.” —Michael Grant, New York Times bestselling author of BZRK and the Gone series “Packed with breathless adventure, sword fighting, heartless betrayal, and car chases – but what I loved best about this book is that amidst all the fun it’s also pure of heart. I enjoyed The Blood Guard tremendously and cannot wait to read the sequel!” —Sarah Prineas, author of the Magic Thief series “The kind of witty, fleet-footed, swashbuckling adventure my twelve-year-old self would have gobbled up. Sure to be a hit with middle-grade adventure fans!” —Bruce Hale, author of the Chet Gecko Mysteries and A School for S.P.I.E.S.: Playing with Fire “I love everything about this thrilling novel—its humor, its action, and especially Greta Sustermann. She is smart, sassy, vulnerable, and completely kicks butt. I can't wait to read the next book.” —Kathryn Littlewood, author of Bliss and A Dash of Magic

13 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Good fun, from the first page to the last By Quickbeam This book (which is #1 of a trilogy) is non-stop action throughout. The characters are engaging and are often in fish-out-of-water situations. There is magic, evil and purposeful quest throughout the book. It is very easy to read this book in one sitting. What makes this book suitable for middle school and YA readers? Clean, non-complex plot lines, charming characters, youthful protagonists and lots of action. There are good adults and bad, loving parents and neglectful.This book is a cheerful page turner for anyone, any age who likes action and plot. I found it well written.The author has a nice ear for dialogue. Even though this is part of a series, I felt the book did a nice job of standing alone as a work.
9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. My 12 year old LOVED it & wrote his own review! By Donna I received a finished copy of Blood Guard from the publisher for review. As soon as I opened this package and saw this fantastic cover, I knew that Blood Guard was a book for my 12 year old son, Damian. And I was right, he LOVED it! So much so that he’s already loaned it to his friend to read and he's recommended it to his middle school librarian as something he’d like to see on the NC Battle of the Books list next year. He was a little unsure about how to put together a review so I made him a kind of worksheet or template with questions for him to answer. He did a great job!Also, Any book that can inspire THIS kind of enthusiastic reaction from my son deserves nothing less than a 5 star rating and the highest recommendation from me!Damian’s review:Blood Guard was wicked cool! It was full of action and adventure and plenty of surprises. The main characters were Ronan, Greta, and Dawkins. My favorite character was Dawkins because if you killed him, he would come back to life! How awesome is that? Ronan wants to become a Blood Guard so that he can help to protect the Pures but he has a hard time becoming part of that society. The Pures were special people who were super important to the world or could trigger major events.The bad guys were trying to get rid of the Pures. They had this thing they could look through and tell if someone was Pure. The Blood Guards had something like that too so they knew who to protect. I was so mad at the bad guys but I can’t say why because it would be a spoiler.I can’t think of any other books, TV shows, or movies that was anything like this. That’s one of the reasons I loved it so much, it wasn’t like anything else! The fantasy world is pretty much like our world but with a lot of things that our world don’t have. I wouldn’t want to live there but I wish I could have been there when the Blood Guard infiltrated the enemy base! I would have fought right beside them to protect the Pures!I would definitely recommend Blood Guard to other people. This book was so good, I couldn’t put it down! I read it EVERYWHERE. I read it at home. I read it at school. I read it between classes while walking through the halls (and even ran into people or walls once or twice). I read it on the school bus, at breakfast and at lunch. I took this book with me everywhere I went until I finally finished it.If I could say one thing to the author, I would say send me the next book already!! If I could say one thing to a parent thinking about buying this book I would say to get it. If your kid likes adventure and excitement, your kid will love Blood Guard! I keep trying to tell my mom to read it because I think she would like it too.
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. My 10 year old liked it By Beccaboney (written by a 10 year old boy) I would recommend this book to people my age (10). Very interesting. It's about a boy who's mother is a member of the Blood Guard and gets captured, and he and his friends he meets along the way have to go and rescue her. And he needs to figure out the mystery of his missing dad. The only thing I didn't really like is it left off as a cliffhanger. But overall, it was pretty good.
