ETERNAL BLOOD by Laura WrightETERNAL BLOOD is book 2.5 (novella) and January 2012 release from Laura Wright’s Mark of the Vampire series. Gray Donahue is an Impure, one of the many Halfling breed of vampires. Along with his ability to hear the thoughts of others, Gray wants nothing more than to ease his pain with sex and blood. But his pain is multi-faceted. As an Impure Gray is hunted by the Eternal Order of Vampires; as a brother, he is heartbroken about his sister’s secret: and as a son, he blames himself for the death of a loved one. Hoping to rid the world of the Impure, the Order is known to abduct and perform inhuman procedures all in the name of purity. And when Gray is captured and held prisoner in the Order’s hidden cells, he is shocked and sickened with the knowledge that there are things worse than the pain of existence. But Gray is also numbed when there are others, like himself that know more about his family history than he ever knew.Once again, we meet Dillon-the cold and frosty pure-blood vampire who rescues Gray from his impending procedure only to be brought back into a vortex of sexual need and hunger. But this time-Dillon is his target and there is definitely a spark of something between the ‘unhappy’ couple.Eternal Blood is a quick read- the continuing story of betrayal and heartbreak for the Impure of the species. Laura writes a compelling story that only furthers our curiosity about the relationship between Gray and Dillon, and teases our senses in the world of the Mark of the Vampire. Looking forward to Eternal Captive.see all of my reviews at : thereadingcafe.com A quick bite that will leave you craving more!Without purpose and guilt eating away at him, Impure vampire Gray Donahue lives for nothing more than blood and sex. Cursed with the ability to hear other’s thoughts it is the only way to make his existence bearable. Even fighting for the cause of his fellow Impures cannot sway Gray from his current course. But when the Order flashes him out of a promiscuous limo ride and into one of their barbaric rituals, and the veana that Gray can’t get out of his mind comes to his rescue, Gray realizes that there are some things worth fighting for. Eternal Blood is a short novella that falls in between Eternal Kiss and Eternal Captive, and follows Sarah Donahue’s (Alexander Roman’s mate, Eternal Hunger) brother, Gray and the pureblood veana Dillon. It was an exciting peak into Gray’s mind and a great little nugget between novels but far shorter than I would of liked. A must read for Mark of the Vampire fans and a story that will continue on into Eternal Beast, and even a smidge into Eternal Captive. Filled with muy sexual tension, shocking scenarios, titillating dialogue and everything else you’ve come to expect from Laura Wright’s hot vampires. I can’t wait to see more of these two in Eternal Beast, it is sure to be blazing!
