Tainted Blood by Karen Greco
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Tainted Blood is one high adrenaline, heart-pumping, non-stop action read that will have you asking for more. After reading Hell's Belle, I was looking forward to this book. It did not disappoint!

Nina Martinez, a witch/vampire hybrid, is trying to balance both sides of her nature. It is a little difficult since vampires and witches don't play well together. Her Aunt Babe with the help of Nina's ever present ghost, Casper, are trying to improve Nina's witch skills. You never know when those will be needed or in Nina's case how often. Frankie, Nina's Blood Ops vampire partner, is still enjoying his day walking abilities. Tainted blood is decimating the vampire population, and a horde of demons are threatening to destroy the city. Nina, Frankie and the whole Blood Ops team will have their hands full trying to deal with the chaos that has hit Providence.

Nina is struggling with her own issues, but is always there for her friends. Her tenacity along with her willingness to help others is what makes her a good agent. Nina's family puts the "D" in dysfunctional, but they are a lively bunch. I love the inter-play between Nina and Casper. Definitely put a smile on my face! I will have to say that I stared at the last page awhile saying,"No that can't be the end!" Can't wait for the next book!

One Less Warlock by Judith Post

One Less Warlock by Judith Post My rating: 4 of 5 stars I think it's hard in a short story to create a unique setting, characters, etc., and still get some sort of story line in. In One Less Warlock, Judith did an excellent job of molding the story in such a way that we got a taste of a distinct world and character personalities, and a complete story to go with it. In this short story Judith was able to pack in witches, vampires, a sexy Were, succubus, voodoo, murder, and mystery, all in only about 20 pages. Pretty amazing. I enjoyed the story and Babet, the main character, and am looking forward to more of her in the future. View all my reviews
