BY: Ellen Fritz
OVERVIEW
Vampire Queen and Demon son – Together they
will wreak havoc and total destruction. Or at least, that’s what the prophecy
says. When a sex-seething succubus focuses in on Ella Grey, a half-breed
vampire and her Shadow Hunting partner, Micah McGregor, a power is released
neither can control or comprehend.
A chain of events is triggered, forcing Ella and Micah down a shadowed path riddled with unrestrained passion, violence and betrayal. The truth of Micah’s demonic origins will reveal a heart-breaking conspiracy within the Shadow Agency that once swore to protect humanity from vampires and demons. Ella and Micah are proof that nothing is as it appears.

REVIEW
“Blood
Lust Rising” contains all the elements of an exciting paranormal romance;
vampires, witches, shape shifters, lots and lots of demons and their half human
offspring, and enough action to keep you on the edge of your seat. To put the cherry on top, there is even a
prophecy.
Half
vampire Ella Grey and her co-worker Micah find themselves in the midst of this
prophecy as well as being the victims of a scheming employer and father. Going from a relationship of enmity and underlying
desire to uncontrollable lust in a few minutes, they are in for a rough
time. Add to this the jealousy of a
vampire sire, a vampire queen, and a perverted older man; the stage is set for
nonstop action. We even pay a visit to
another dimension and a demon club that caters for vampires.
The
well-crafted characters are realistic and described in such a way that I could
easily visualise them and their surroundings.
The descriptions of weather conditions in the story add to the mood of
chaos, despair and menace. The vivid
descriptions and often brutal fight scenes kept me turning the pages, and in
the second half of the book the author truly turns up the suspense to an almost
unbearable level.
“Blood
Lust Rising” is a fast paced and thrilling read that had my undivided attention
from the first page to the last.
Although I don’t have a qualm reading books containing adult content, I
wouldn’t recommend this as a read suitable for YA readers under the age of
eighteen, as it contains explicit sexual content described in a graphic manner,
as well as profanity.
I’m
looking forward to more books from this promising author.
