Review: Refreshing Paranormal
Rating: 4 out of 5

If you are getting a little tired of reading the typical Paranormal romance book where girl-meets-Vampire and they instantly fall for each other with no rhyme or reason, then Tegan's Blood may be the little bit of fresh air that you need.  It is a refreshing read with a strong character that sticks to her guns and doesn't allow anyone to push her around, not even a very sexy Vampire named Ethan. Ethan, and all other vampires around her, is instantly attracted to Tegan and she can't trust that Ethan doesn't just want her for her blood. There are other worries as well; she has to deal with Witches, Dhamphir's (half human/ half vampire) and Vampire Slayers, all of whom are very interested in her and all of them could take her life if they find out what she really is.Throughout the story, Tegan is thrown into a world of unknown chaos and war. She is forced to make one difficult decision after another.  Without knowing who to trust, she has to rely strictly on instinct to protect herself and to keep her blood secret.  You can almost see that the author, herself, was unsure of what path to choose for her character as she walks a fine line between all opposing sides.I really appreciated that the author made Tegan seem so realistic. However, the writing style is a little robotic and doesn't flow as well as I would like.  The romance in the story isn't really there for me, but I think that it is almost done on purpose. You do get a good idea where the main relationship may head in a future book and you do get a good look into her life with other characters as well.All in all I think that Tegan's Blood, although it took a little getting used to, was worth it.  I am looking forward to the second book in the Ultimate Power Series.**Reviewed by Rochelle M. for VampireRomanceBooks.com**
