BLOODLINE

Author: Maggie Shayne ISBN: 9780778326182 5/2009 PARANORMAL Publisher: MIRA

Her last chance to live, her only chance to love... Lilith awakens cold, naked and alone, knowing nothing—not even who she is—except that she has to run, run for her life ...because someone is after her. When Ethan discovers the terrified woman hiding on his ranch, he knows immediately not only who she is, but what. He's never forgotten her, not in all the time since he escaped their joint prison, a clandestine CIA facility where humans are bred into vampires willing to kill on command. He refused to accept that fate, and since he won his freedom he's become a legend to those he left behind. With her own escape, Lilith has become a legend, too, and now—together—they have no choice but to fight those who would become a legend by killing one.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

I will keep this short. I don't like BLOODLINE at all. It is just like every other vampire paranormal that has been spit out the last few years. In case you have missed them, here is a short run down for you: Good vamps versus bad vamps, escapees from governmental experiments gone wrong, vampiric intense urging-to-mate with the lighter half of their being, mental telepathy etc.

I am so over this vampire band wagon that Feehan, Ward, and Sands created that unless someone can come up with something original (or top those authors, which doesn't seem possible), I am going to boycott them. Really.
