This book is similar to the Sookie Stackhouse novels in that the protagonist is a human dealing with a variety of supernaturals...in this case, witches, vampires, sorcerers, and human-vampire hybrids.Another similarity is like Sookie, Tegan doesn't turn out to be the average human we might have imagined. As the title suggests, there's something about her blood.I was rarely bored while reading the book. It kept my interest.But I had some problems with it.At times, the dialogue felt awkward and clumsy. My other issue was the romance in the book. A vampire (Ethan) has feelings for Tegan, but the romance seems to be one-sided. At best, Tegan feels less-threatened by him. Trusts him. There seems to be some attraction, but no real love. I think I would have preferred for the love to be more equal. I think unrequited love makes for a good story, but I think maybe it's better when the one loving is the protagonist. Tegan is troubled. The man she loved committed suicide in their home and the guilt and sadness she feels is immense. As she tries to carry out her daily life, she unexpectedly gains the attention of Ethan, a vampire. Her blood is special and a lot of supernatural beings can sense it, putting her in danger. Tegan's Blood was an interesting book, but lacked originality. Now, I'm not knocking the book for this. It was a good read and I know that coming up with a complex and original plot is challenging in this genre. The characters were entertaining, but they felt a little one-dimensional. Ethan, yeah he's hot, but the author lacked any detailed descriptions as to who he was. Their relationship annoyed me a few times too - one minute she's all over him, the next she's being cold. Tegan was a hard character to connect with. Her pain was deep, but she was weak. She had a more laid-back personalty, rather then the "kick-ass, let's get this done," type. So, if you want a heroine, look to another story. Overall, I enjoyed the book, but it fell flat with regards to uniqueness and suspense. The writing was a little younger and at times clunky, but if you're looking for vampires, mystery and lust... this one is for you!
