I really enjoyed
reading this book, it was gripping, thrilling and full of great characters. It
was a fun read as well as a thrilling read. I love reading books like this.
The main character
is Nina, she is a half vampire who kills full vampires that are a danger to
others. She works with a number of other people who are different paranormal
species. She comes under scrutiny by a member of the fbi when she is suspected
of knowing more than she should. Nina also has to face her past when the killer
of her parents enters her life hoping to kill her too. Nina is a fun character,
she is easy to read about and it was enjoyable to read about her adventures.
There are secondary
characters however I feel the ones that are most noteworthy include Max, Babe
and Marcello. Max is the fbi agent who not only is investigating Nina but also
has a crush on her. Babe is Nina's guardian, she has looked after Nina since
the death of her parents and engages in teaching her about her heritage and new
found powers. Marcello is the one who killed Nina's parents, he is the baddie
in this book who poses a threat to Nina.
The pacing in this
book is great keeping the readers on edge until the very last minute. I also
liked that it was not a ordinary pacing with more happening throughout the book
instead of leading up to something; I thought that was great as I was more
engaged throughout.
The storyline was
fairly original with a good mix of paranormal species. It was easy to understand
and entertaining.
It made for an easy
read and was very enjoyable. 3.5 stars.
#088 Tainted Blood, Karen Greco
I loved this book, I liked the first book in the series but
in my opinion this was so much better; this book had a lot more action, and
thrilling moments. It was mysterious and full of adventure and it was also a
great book for character development with the main character Nina showing lots
of growth.
The main character is the same as in the first book, Nina;
in this book she is battling with an illness that is affecting vampires. She is
still battling with the spirit who inhabits her body; she faces a person from
her past that puts her whole future in question. Nina’s aunt goes missing and
with the growing troubles between the love interest in her life there seems to
be not a lot she can do about her life as it is in this book. This book is a
great lead up and now I can’t wait to read the third book in the series. Nina
in this book is fantastically resilient and strong. Nina in my opinion is
turning into a real leading lady in this book even without a guy in her life.
The secondary characters include Frankie, Max and Leila.
Frankie is an important character in this book as they are a great friend to
Nina; they also come to discover Frankie is suffering from the illness
affecting other vampires, I’m still not sure if this character is female or
male but that does not retract from the reading experience. Max is the fbi
agent who was in the first book however in this book the relationship in this
book seems slightly awkward. Leila is the bad guy who readers don’t find out
about until the very last minute; for this reason I’m not going to talk about
her other than as a bad guy I love her.
The pacing in this book is superb; it offers lots of tibits
of action throughout the book and then giving us a huge climactic ending and a
cliffhanger.
The storyline was great, I found it much more fun to read
than the first book; the story included a lot more thrilling and fun moments
that made it great to read.
I found this book hugely enjoyable. 4 stars
