Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 17, 2012
If you like your vampires bloody and unremorseful, then Drake is the one for you.  These characters are so over-the-top in the horror department, they're almost clichés...but it works.  So many terrific characters and no little space...  Jesse's man-crazy friend Janet becomes the perfect female counterpoint to Drake's own horrific schemes, easily lured to the vampire's dark side and feeling no loyalty to her friend as she responds to his allures.  Sam, the titular hero, is unique in that it's he who's the virgin and he's targeted by Drake for this very reason.  Reba is feisty and ready to fight for her life, only to discover love works better.  And then there's Charles...a villain who only needs the love of a good woman to turn him into a semi-hero.  Add in Countess Elizabeth Bathory, somehow misplaced to England, and you've got a great story.(Don't let my mishmash of a review daunt you.  It's a good read and you'll look forward to the sequel.)Born of Blood is available from Muse It Up Publishing.
