A fateful encounter one night after work upends the direction of Stephen Cross’ life. He’s possessed “the gift” for as long as he can remember, the innate ability to sense things, but he’s always tried to suppress it. Now his special gift is beginning to manifest itself in a new and terrifying way making it impossible to ignore.He heads to New York on a special assignment where he is introduced to main player Katherine after a supernatural incident on the highway, before pairing up with an old friend and colleague, Ryan McDade. Thus begins the discovery of the evil truth behind Stephen’s transformation.You don’t even have to be a fan of the vampire genre to pick this up, because if you’re fascinated with myth and lore, you’ll really enjoy Blooded.  I’m having a hard time comparing it to anything I’ve read in recent time.  The novel is lengthy, but never a drag because the chapters are short and quick-paced. The characters are three-dimensional and the dialogue reads like natural banter.Overall, a unique and suspenseful read that is the first in a trilogy I look forward to completing.
