4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 86 ratings

The debut novel from USA Today Bestselling Author Elodie Colt – a dystopian slow-burn romance full of suspense, angst, steamy passion, and a futuristic world for fans of Veronica Rossi, Veronica Roth, and Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Her life: The system. Her job: A mysterious case.
Her problem… Sinfully hot Lieutenant Aiden Davis who watches her every step.


Ever since mankind found a cure for cancer, the world seems to be a better place. The price? Blood donations from the entire population. For the rest of their lives. And the worst thing? Jordan Lively has the rarest blood type, so her blood is extremely valuable.
She’s an NYPD detective with heart and soul, but then a mysterious case falls into her lap, one that could cost her more than her job if anyone finds out she even knows about it. She's compelled to get to the bottom of it, even under the watchful eye of her new boss—sexy-as-hell Lieutenant Aiden Davis.
Can Jordan solve the case that will threaten the system? A system that saved millions of lives? Duty or honor - a choice no detective should ever have to make. Now, if she can just leave love out of it…

If you like electrifying suspense, slow-burn romance, and fantastic futuristic stories, then dive into this Dystopian Romance readers call 'an edge-of-the-seat ride that can make you cry, laugh, and wet at the same damn time.'

Elodie Colt is a USA Today bestselling Paranormal & Contemporary Romance author from Austria. When she’s not busy writing books that go beyond run-of-the-mill alpha stories, she spends her time binge-watching the latest Hollywood blockbuster, playing the guitar, or hitting the gym. The fact that German is her mother tongue didn't keep her from giving her dream to publish in English a chance. Whatever she writes, she has one goal - to make you cry, laugh and wet at the same time ;)

    I received an Advanced Reviewer Copy of this book and am happy to leave my honest opinion and review. It was fantastic. The premise of the story intrigued me, but the story itself, I can honestly say pulled me in from page one, and kept me turning the pages to see what happened next.

    I felt like the futuristic aspect of this story was very realistic. It was subtle, not overdone, which helped add to the realism for me. Then there was the idea that, in the future, the cure for cancer is not without its own side effects, which turn people into virtual, real-life vampires, and not in a sci-fi kind of way. I also found it so believable the way that the agency who created the Cure kept the money coming in, so typical of that industry as we know.

    Then there was the romance. My favorite part of any good story, the Romance in this book was just the right amount of build-up. It wasn’t “insta-love.” It took them some time to work up to the good stuff, and the good stuff was very good!

    There was a good amount of depth to the characters in this book, especially the main character/heroine who we follow from start to finish. Her past and how it shaped her as a person, I felt was consistent throughout the book, and I felt like there were several things that made her very relatable. I was able to really sympathize with her and like her from the get-go. The stakes were set high immediately, and I was rooting for her to succeed from page one.

    I also found the pacing of this story to be just right. There was not a single point in this story that I can remember feeling like it was lagging in any way or wanting to skim over.

    Overall, this book is well worth the read. This is a book I can see myself rereading again. Very good work and well-deserving of every one of the 5 stars.

    I came across this book while doing a dystopian search on Amazon. The blurb sounded interesting and the reviews were very good.

    It started well and hooked me straight away. I did struggle a little with Jordan especially early on.

    It’s set in 2078. A future where cancer is rampant but a cure has been found. This cure is expensive and only available to those who can afford it. And it needs to be taken regularly along with the drinking of human blood.

    The entire population has to donate blood once a month every month. Unless like Jordan you have a rare blood type and then you have to donate every week. That’s every single week for your entire life.

    This was a different read and I have to say I really enjoyed it. It certainly helped that I just loved Aiden Davis.

    I am 69years old, have 14,000 kindle books, 6,400 audiobooks. I read every day and listened to audiobooks every night. I live through books (sad I know) and my favorite genre is paranormal romance such as J. R. Ward, Larissa Ione, K. F. Beene, Thea Harrison and so on. Why tell you all this, because "TRUST ME" buy and put on Auto buy anything this woman writes.
    This was so well written that I never skipped a sentence much less a whole page(we all do it). Ms. Colt grabbed me from page 1. When I finished I went and purchased all of her other books (wish there were more)
    Great suspense
    Great action
    Great romance (not too fast, not too slow).
    WELL written steamy sex scenes
    Great story line. Nice spin on paranormal romance. HIGHLY recommend this author and am enjoying her other series immensely. Good job Ms. Colt look forward to anything you publish.

    I’m thankful that this story was a stand-alone, because I could see myself easily going crazy waiting for second a third books to come out. But just the same it was a great read. The characters are likeable, and even though their struggles are ones we don’t currently have in the future, it shows exactly how much control technology will have over us, as well as how much more control the government will have over us in the future, should technology continue to evolve.

    I enjoyed the romance, however I wish more time had been spent building it up. It wasn’t as challenging of one as some of the other romantic storylines I’ve read by this author. I’d go as far to say that out of all 6 books I’ve read this romance is probably my least favorite. There just wasn’t enough tension built up, but I guess that’s difficult to do sometimes in a stand-alone novel. Otherwise, I loved it!

    Jordan is a sergeant with the NYPD who specializes in rape and murder cases. When her lieutenant retires and the too hot for words Aiden Davis takes his place, everything begins to change. Suddenly Jordan is involved in not one, but two, big cases and Aiden and she are growing closer and closer.

    In Blood We Trust is soo good yall! If you like dystopian futures with suspense and murder and hot af sexy scenes then this ones for you. The characters are real and damaged and just trying to do right and you'll fall in love with them long before they fall in love with each other. The action and suspense as they work not one but two huge cases is edge of your seat good. I caught myself holding my breath more than once as they faced down their perps. I can't say enough good things about this book. Congrats Elodie on knocking it out of the park. I hope you're writing more set in this wonderful world you created. And thank you Indies Ink for the chance to get my hands on this gem.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and Unique
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 5, 2018
    It is now 3.40 am and I've not been able to put this book down. A little too much sex for my liking but it was more than made up for by what was, for me at least, a totally original story line set in dystopian world, which still has too many similarities to the world we live in. Big pharma and rich men's greed never changes.

    Why Amazon insist on 20 words for a review via kindle, I don't know. Especially when I just want to say that I really enjoyed this book.
