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.

I read this book and I enjoyed it. This is an adventurous and mysterious book that you don't want to miss out on... So Ronan realizes his dad got kidnapped... he realized he needs to step up for all the time he had that "boring life.." In fact his mom sort of trained him to be a Blood Guard without him noticing such as these random extracurricular activities that took up all his time... It was finally his chance to use the knowledge he was given and use teamwork with Greta and Jack to find what's going on. Now the Blood Guard, a high prestigious team, has to protect Pure souls... however... (I'm sorry guys... but yes... there is a however) there are the bad guys as well... DUN DUN DUNNN... the Bend Sinister... And honestly you'll get a lot of suspense and mystery out of this book... And I really want to compare this to the "The Land of Stories" series... because they are eerily similar... not the plot.. .but how they pulled the ending... oops... I said too much... but there is a huge shocker throughout this book.. SO enjoy!!!

This book is amazing. I love the series so far. It is about a person named Ronan Truelove who is 13 years old that leaves school one day discovering he is a member of the blood guard which is an ancient order of protectors. He will acquire the invaluable skills, learns he has magical talents that he never dreamed or knew of, and also rescued his parents from a certain death finally falling for the wrong girl overlooking the right one. The plot thickens with every word. I love this book and is pretty amazing what Carter Roy could do with "The Blood Guards".

This book is about a boy named Roman. He learns that his dad has been kidnapped, and they are after him, too! The Blood Guard is a very adventurous and exciting book. When I read it, I was always wondering what would happen next! This book is very interesting and exciting. 5/5 and I recommend this book! I hope you enjoy it like I did!

Ronan is no ordinary boy. When his dad is kidnapped and his mother reveals that she is a member of the order of the knights, Ronan figures that he is in danger. He is told that no one is to be trusted but......

I really liked the book. The pace was nice, slow when I needed to take in information and fast when action was about. The characters were also very deep and developed. I really liked this book.
