Review: Unique psychological twist

This wasn't quite your normal Kitty book and yet it was. I think the main difference here was I just didn't like Nicole. Normally the female lead is a likable character that eventually finds herself in a Stockholm Syndrome situation. This time around it wasn't. Her persistent want for her husband I found eventually grating. As well normally the male MC is very dark and sinister. Instead I found myself feeling empathy for August. Cursed to kill, suffer the pain of his victims and he finally finds the one woman who can spare him the pain.What really drew me in and me riveted was the unique psychological twist Ms. Thomas injected into Blood Mates. The disorientation and confusions were simply FABULOUS! I won't go into details because frankly it would spoil the book for others. But let me just say, it's very different than her previous titles and that I simple LOVED it.I would like to make one minor suggestion for new Kitty readers. If you're looking to pop you Kitty cherry, read a few of her other titles first, then come back to Blood Mate. That way you can get a sense of contrast between her other works and this book. Anyone who is a Kitty Thomas fan will thoroughly enjoy Blood Mates and I do recommend reading this.
