Opening Sentence TeaserIronically, If You Want Blood (You've Got It) by AC/DC was the song that blared out of Daniel Jericho‟s alarm clock waking him up. He moaned and stretched for a few moments before finally getting out of bed.ReviewI received this book as part of a R2R from the author in return for a honest review.  Jerry is you typical high school trying to make it through his days to graduation. One night Jerry along with his two best friends Steve and Goose are attacked by vampires. Thankfully he is always saved by a vampire as well but in the process he ends up getting bit not once but twice by the bad vampire as well as the good vampire. Jerry wakes up in the hospital with memories of being attacked by vampires, they all know vampires aren't real, until Clair shows up at the hospital asking for his help because he has special blood. His blood could be the cure to turn all the vampires into humans.When vampires drink Jerry's blood they get a short term increase of power plus loose all their weakness's that all vampires have. The bad vampires are called Black Forest they want to harvest Jerry's blood to make them more powerful. The good vampires in this case who are looking for a cure don't drink human blood anymore they survive on animal blood. Something in Jerry's blood calls to them, his scent draws them out and the good vampires have to protect him till they can find a cure. However with Black Forest vampires on the hunt for him, the only way to stay safe is train to use weapons and fight. Thankfully his uncle Joe is their to teach him and his friends how to protect themselves, plus they have a couple powerful vampires to protect them.It's a fast paced story that drew me in right from the start and I had a hard time putting it down. Jerry doesn't read like a teenager he and his friends come across a lot more mature so it's easy for teens and adults to relate to him. The characters in the story are well created, you get a good sense who they are, and I feel like I could visualize them.  I really liked the concept that Jerry has special blood that can change the balance for the vampires forever.  Blood Heavy is a unique twist on vampires that keeps you entertained through the whole book and left me wanting more. I look forward to seeing what happen next in the series.
