Blood Drunk-Faded Blue

Review Brought to you by OBS staff member Autumn

Synopsis:

With summer waning quickly before the start of his senior year, a family emergency forces Blue Knightly to leave his small Midwest town and travel to New York City to locate his rebellious sister. From the morgue to Central Park to the underbelly of New York, he quickly discovers the big city is the least of his concerns as he reluctantly takes sides within a warring faction of vampires to unravel the mystery of his sister’s disappearance. In their underground world of abandoned subway tunnels, Blue finds himself falling for a femme fatale vampire whose vibe is seldom clear. Not knowing who to trust, Blue finds himself battling not only the undead, but his own heart, as the family crisis escalates and every decision could be his last. (Goodreads)

Review:

This book was unexpected.  It was unexpected in so many brilliant ways.  The characters, the plot twists and the ending….

Blue Knightly seems to be your All-American boy until he is called to New York from his normal Midwest home.  His gruesome task at hand takes a turn that leads him through the dark tunnels underneath the city to an unknown band of vampires hiding more than just their dark secrets.  All along, he tries to fight his growing connection to Kat, a female vampire that he is unsure of and soon he begins to question everyone and everything.  He could never imagine all that hangs in the balance.

Lovell’s writing is reminiscent of fast paced screenplays yet keeps the reader invested in the characters and the story.

I recommend this book to all lovers of the vampire/paranormal genre who want to read something a little different and off the beaten path.  This one was worth it.  I’m also crossing my fingers that we will get to see more of these characters because I seem to have fallen a bit for Blue.
