Synopsis
Deep
within the forest of the Pacific Northwest, two vampire coalitions battle for
supremacy – Guardian enforcers who safeguard humanity, and Darkblood rogues who
kill like their ancient ancestors. Now Guardian team leader Dominic Serrano
will be forced to choose between the vengeance he craves and the woman he can’t
live without...
No
one can protect movie location scout Mackenzie Foster-Shaw from the evil that
has stalked her family for generations – vampires who crave her rare blood
type. Until one afternoon in a wooded cemetery, she encounters an impossible
sexy stranger, a man she must trust with her life.
For
Dominic, a man haunted by loss, Mackenzie satisfies a primal hunger that
torments him – and the bond they share goes beyond heat, beyond love. She alone
can supply the strength he needs to claim his revenge. But in doing so, he
could destroy her...
my Thoughts (review)
Being
that I can’t describe it any better than her in her ‘Dear Readers’, part at the
front of the book. So here it is...
Far beneath the streets of the city, in an
unknown part of Underground Seattle, a team of vampire Guardians fights to
protect humans from Darkbloods – vicious members of their race who kill their
ancestors and sell the blood on the black market. The rarest, called
Sweetblood, commands the highest price.

So
that’s what the series is about, or so it seems, and it was really good, well
written. This book is about Dominic being hurt and having the only blood around
being a sweetblood he ends up nearly killing her, and then possessed with her
thoughts, a bond that he thought was a myth. As she gets hunted down by the
darkbloods he is out of his mind to protect her, even when she offers him
something almost too good to resist.
The
description, the way it’s written, hell even the characters are great and well
done, I loved it as I started but it ended up turning a little boring. Not that
the book was boring, just seemed to drag a little, and because I had started
drifting it made the finally, the main blow, you could say, it didn’t get my
heart pounding like all the other books that I have read. But that could just
be because she needed that info, and it was the first, so they might not have
to go through that all again. But who knows, I’d have to read it to see.
Though
saying that it’s very like the Sookie Stackhouse novels, more info, then you
wanted to have, or remember. Anyway I’m rambling about nothing.
The
book was really good, and as far as the boredom went I couldn’t seem to put the
thing down, still I needed to know what happened, how they ended up at the end
and all that. Who lived? Who died? And who was the informant?
But
I did love it, like her idea, her interpretation, thoughts, one what vampires
are and who they have live for so long.
This
book to me had a very deep feel of the midnight breed series but not, like the
way it’s written, maybe, or something in it made me get the feel of that, but
unlike the other series these vampires have things in them that make them
interesting enough to want to read more.
