I found this to be a great quick read. It is not a short story but I read through it in hours. Max is a vampire investigator. He polices his own kind and runs into Erica who is looking for her twin sister. Her sister sent her message asking for her help. All she knows is that her sister is in a vampire bar but she doesn't know which one. Of course knocking door to door in these bars could get her killed. Max was attracted to her scent but can't turn away to her plight. Plus he knows she'll get her self killed or turned if he doesn't help her. On top of it Erica finds the vampire world appauling. Oh what fireworks this will ensure. The book was fun, exciting and fast paced. It kept you constantly reading. I look forward to La Vida Muerta, Elena, the twin's story. Won't give anymore away. Have to read it to find out. 2 to 2.5 stars - I actually thought I was picking up a different book (both books had the pair of roses on the cover) when I started into Fresh Blood which was a Kindle freebie a while back, but I did know that I was picking up a vampire book. Anyway, Fresh Blood ended up being really mixed with vampire cliches - dangerous nightclubs with feeding and debauchery - and a toooooo stupid to live heroine who is straight-laced with a hidden wild yet submissive side and a plot with a powerful bad guy who is apparently just as stupid considering how he decided to lure the heroine into his clutches. What kept the book from being a waste of time though was some decent steamy stuff - though edging toward a bit heavy on the dominance for my tastes - and a hero that I really liked.Don't know that I will pick up the next one, even though the next vamp leading man has potential, I am not sure if I can get past the fact that the next leading lady was a bit villainous in Fresh Blood - and while I like it when bad boys go good, I am not sold on the idea of bad girls going good.
What do You think about Fresh Blood (2005)?
the story had potential but the climax fell short for me
