Review:
Blood Shadows is a wonderful start to a
new paranormal romance series by Lindsay J. Pryor. Caitlin is an
agent with the Vampire Control Unit, and her goal is to capture a
master vampire named Kane. Kane has a horrible reputation, and the
VSU has been wanting to get their hands on him for a long time.
Caitlin has personal plans of her own though. Something is coming
after her, and she knows that Kane is the only one who can help her.
This book is dark, mysterious, and
sexy. Caitlin and Kane are both using each other for their own
purposes. Neither of them thought they would fall for each other –
especially Kane. He hasn't felt anything but hatred since his sister
was brutally murdered several years ago. Caitlin slowly breaks down
his walls. There is a ton of sexual tension throughout the book, and
the sex scenes are HOT. It's passionate and intense.
Weaved around the emotional romance is
an amazing plot. It has a complex storyline with twists and turns.
You won't be able to put this book down, and you'll be wondering what
is going to happen up until the last page. I was sad to see Caitlin
and Kane's story end. I'm really looking forward to the next book,
Blood Roses – however, it will be based around different
characters. I hope it's as good as this one!

How gorgeous is that cover! Sounds real good although I will probably wait before reading this. Vamps aren't my thing for now. Great review tho!
ReplyDeleteThanks Braine! (And yes, the review was awesome.) The cover was created by the very talented Henry Steadman who has designed covers for authors such as Dan Brown, Lee Child and Richelle Mead. I was very excited when he took the Blackthorn project on. I hope you change your mind about vamps in the not too distant future. Quite a few non-vamp fans have been converted apparently, so I'd love to know what you think if you ever decide to give it a go. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you did the cover reveal for that extraordinary second in this series. That cover is to die for!
ReplyDeleteLove this review and now I can't wait to get my hands on these!! Thank you!!
