chez_jaeI began reading Blood Drive, by Jeanne C Stein, yesterday, and I finished it today. It's the second book in her series featuring bounty hunter turned vampire, Anna Strong. I have not read the first book in the series, but the author did a good job of providing enough back story that I wasn't lost.
In the midst of her regular duties as a bounty hunter, Anna learns that her deceased brother may have fathered a child, and that the young girl is in trouble. Her mother contacts Anna's family to ask for help. As Anna begins searching for the runaway Trish, she begins to unravel a sinister web of child pornography and corruption. Along the way, she encounters other supernaturals, including the shape-shifting Daniel Frey, who may or may not be involved in Trish's disappearance.
This was a fabulous story. I was riveted from the beginning. There were several subplots interwoven, which is something I enjoy. Anna is an engaging heroine. Strong, like her name, but compassionate and with a keen sense of justice. Other characters were portrayed well, including those that were likely only included in this story.
Favorite lines:
♦ Why do I feel as if we should be having this conversation on a moving staircase at Hogwarts, not here in a California classroom?
HP, ftw!
♦ By the time I've lost the pajamas, the only hard drive he seems interested in is the one between his legs.
Rowr!
Five stars!
