In Blood Sense Connie Suttle has once again created something wonderful, making me want to read this book over and over. While appearing to be so fragile, Lissa  has a core of unbreakable steel and the courage to back it up. The Vampire world Lissa is struggling to fit into and understand is unique from all others I have read of.  At times the Vampire characters seem warm and affectionate while the next so stone cold they are utterly frightening. I do not like the way Lissa so easily accepted Gavin and Merriell back into her affections after they agreed for her to be so brutally beaten as punishment(Blood Passage). Then the two expect thier actions to be forgiven and forgotten by the next day. Trust is not easily earned, however it can be lost in the blink of an eye.  I think Lissa needs to set a few boundaries for Gavin if thier relationship is to continue and if he cannot accept them, she should cut him loose even if he is the lesser of three evils. He has betrayed her twice already and she should never forget this. Also, if female vampires are so rare, why is the council so absolutely cruel to her? Sure, no one is above Vampire law but obviously the Council is taking too hard a position with Lissa. Understandably, it would be extremely hard to stand up to such powerful people, however would like to see Lissa start doing so. It will be hard to wait for the next installment of this wonderful series to come out in October.  No one will be disappointed when they read this book. It is as good or better than the two which came before it.
