Ella Medler's BLOOD IS HEAVIER begins with an engaging introduction to Nick Hunter and the people in his life. Medler accomplishes that most difficult of tasks for a novelist -- she makes the reader care about her protagonist immediately, and then BAM ... in the space of a few sentences Nick's placid day turns upside down, putting everything and everyone he holds dear in jeopardy. The rest of the book is a rollicking roller coaster of one difficult situation after another. All the while I found myself wondering how the characters would or could come out all right, and hoping desperately they would do so. The characters show determination, ingenuity, and some mad skills they obviously learned in dark places. Medler kept me engaged the whole way through and the ending satisfies. If you're looking for an action-packed escape populated with interesting characters and complex, realistic relationships, you will definitely enjoy this book!
