**Originally written for Book Bliss book blog. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**Review: 3.5 starsGeneral: I think Blood Guilt had an absolutely wonderfully original plot from start to finish I never saw the next thing coming and truly enjoyed that. While they state this is a book 2, other things indicate this a book 1 in a spinoff so I am a little lost  - either way be sure not to start with this one as there are details and backgrounds not fully discovered and discussed. However, based on the quality of the story telling and writing it would be safe to assume it is done prior and I will not let that reflect upon my rating of the book. That being said it had an original concept, but not terribly original players.The chemistry in the books was top notch and I really did enjoy reading the interactions between Mihaela and Max. I enjoyed the nitty gritty details about their imperfections as well as it added a bit of "humanity" to them. I enjoyed the book as a whole and will definitely be checking out the next in series to see how it pans out.Characters: Mihaela- Mihaela had a very original name but she felt a lot like a stock character to me. She was "tough as nails" and broken and hollow from her past. She was well written but I didn't think she any different than the other vampire hunter females floating around the book world. Her reactions were perfectly written though.Max- Max isa  tortured vampire. I felt he had the more intriguing background of the two as I'm yet to read his particular reason for guilt. A tortured vampire over his existence isn't totally abnormal though.
