Humans are for eating and I am not one to play with my food, so I'm baffledas to why one geeky mortal doctor makes me wish our kind could be togetherwithout my brand of love being toxic. As if suffering from human emotionsisn't problem enough, our world is about to engage in a war where ourchances of survival are slim at best. And no one wants to listen.But, I didn't become the general of the vampire Queen's army by beingdiplomatic. Everyone will fight in the upcoming battle, or they'll feed mytroops and me. Either way, all things living will do their part.I am, after all, the Blood Countess: toxic lover to humans, vicious bitchto my enemies, and my word is law.Toxic was not quite what I was expecting and I'm not sure if I should loveEve Langlais because of that or rant at her. The story was another stellaroffering from the author and I am a huge fan of her humor and tone. Thewoman has a wonderful talent when she creates characters and this book wasnot a disappointment. What did bring me to near tears was the abruptending, I wanted to throw a fit an all-out tantrum because I want more andI want it now. Ellie has to be one of my all-time favorite heroines; she isblunt and uncompromising and yet still manages to be very likable in an "Iwish I was as confident as her" kind of way. Rafe is fantastic. I love me asexy nerd and this leading man not only has the brain and brawn he knowshow to work both attributes. The setting is engaging and the supportingcast including the villains add to the entertainment. I cannot wait to readthe next adventure that this couple experiences.
