Blood Seduction by J.M. Jeffries
Blood Seduction by J.M. Jeffries
Genesis Press, Inc., 2007
Major Ursula Carlson is a career military woman, who is heading a special ops team of vampires. She is trying to prove to the government that it would be beneficial to work with the vampires, rather than against them. That they could be great allies. After proving this, yet again, and pulling off a special job Ursula feels she’s in line for a promotion.
Unfortunately, her superiors feel otherwise and she is kept in the field and given a new boss. And to top it off they decide it’s better to eliminate the vampires and they want Ursula to head the clean-up team after they are destroyed. Shocked and dismayed at the idea of mass slaughter Ursula warns the vampires and goes on the run with sexy Solomon.
Blood seduction follows Solomon and Ursula as they race to save the vampire nation, and take down the head of the military branch that is running the operation.
Once again J.M. Jeffries has done a great job of sucking me in to a story. Although I have read Blood Lust, the first in this series, this book stands alone and there is no problem trying to catch up. Having read Blood Lust so long ago I was thrilled to remember some of the old characters, it felt like catching up. My favourite is Elder Turi. I think I’d really like to meet him. In any event, the pacing and action in this story are tight, and I felt the back-story was inserted at appropriate times. There were a couple of awkward phrases where I wasn’t sure if a word was missing or if that was intentional, but other than that the reading was smooth.
I picked this up and read it straight through to the end. I got a little less sleep, but was very happy with the story. The vamps are just like the rest of us, each flawed and real, but there is no horror-style gore. It is like many other suspense/adventure type books I read—it just has vampires. I look forward to the next installment, should there be one.
I give this a 4.5, Review for BE Reviews
