Blood Drive, is Tracy Houstons' first book, and I must say, I am excited about this author, and to pick up where the story left off. I feel like it has been a while since I read a good new to me book (and this book is brand spankin' new), I have been re-reading the same ol same ol over and over again. I am also still in my Vamp craze so this was a good newb for me to pick up.

The story was great, it seemed like the paranormal stuff was true to form, in a good way! It was consistent with what I have read in other things, less just put it this way, the vamps didn't sparkle, you can tell Mrs. Houston did her research. I wasn't overwhelmed with new characters with complicated names all at once (a huge pet peeve of mine) and she did a great job of focusing on the main four, and giving them their say, I feel like I got to really know the characters. 

This book is action packed y'all, and the women were strong as nails in this book. I hate when it there is a weak leading lady who is constantly whining about having to kick some ass, I didn't see that at all. I would say the women did the most ass kicking of anyone. It sends a good strong message to women that just because a evil vampire is hunting you down you don't need to run off to some rando guy, you can take the bull by the horns and form a plan to take him out! Love that!

Some might consider this book YA (young adult) but there is a pretty graphic sex scene in it, if you are okay with your kids reading that, more power to you. This girl though? Loved it! 

My only complaint is I wish we had more back-story on the characters and more about all their abilities. It did get confusing at times but was cleared up quickly. 

If you are a fan of ass-kicking women and hot vamp sex, leave a comment with your email address! I am giving away a copy of
