It's taken me forever to read this (I started it in May!), mainly because I like my paranormal books to have a romance subplot in them and this lacked one. However this still managed to grab my attention, which is why I've persevered instead of giving up. Admittedly my interest only grew enough for me to not want to put it down once Adrian was introduced around the half-way mark. The fact that Raylene had someone to interact with other than herself and phone-calls with contacts every so often was a big plus for me. I needed to read her bonding with someone because she came across as a bit heartless at times.Although I liked this, I don't think I'm going to read the second book in the series despite having it in paperback. Not really my sort of thing. 3.5 starsWhile I miss her steampunk novels, I am really enjoying her take on urban fantasy... Mostly because Raylene is rather a bad ass and she's a lot of fun to read.Come to think of it, Raylene and Adrian are hands down the most fun characters I've read for a while.To go with some pretty well-realised characters (expected nothing less from Priest, to be honest) is a pretty intriguing story line that sets up for the second book quite well and without feeling too explanatory.
What do You think about Bloodshot (2011)?
I'm usually not one for vampire books but I absolutely love the way Cherie writes.
