Let me start by saying that I'm NOT typically a dark fantasy fan.  But the first paragraph of Born of Blood totally hooked me and from that point on, I couldn't put it down!  Yes the book is a dark fantasy but it's also a really good story.Jesse, the main character, is someone whom most women will relate to ... she's independent but still gets "checking in" calls from her mom.  She has work acquaintances and friends but no one "special".  When strange things begin to happen, she tries to find rational explanations and seems to give people the benefit of the doubt ... to find the best in people ... even when there isn't a "best" and her naivete becomes dangerous. Jesse is someone we all know ... perhaps she's us ... and that's part of what makes the story so compelling ... and frightening.I found Born of Blood to be a very good read.  The story is well developed and so are the characters.  There are scenes with sex and violence but ... what would a vampire story be without them.  I'm personally looking forward to books 2 & 3 of the series!
