Summary

Sasha Trudeau knows all about working beneath the shadows, back-alley deals, and things that go bump in the night. She also knows that the world is unaware of the existence of the paranormal—and that the government would like to keep it that way.

As a highly trained Special Ops soldier, Sasha and her team are an elite group of individuals who are survivors of werewolf attacks, now trained to be loyal to only to each other and their government. But when she returns from a solo mission, she finds that her team has mysteriously gone missing. Shocking government conspiracies, double-dealing vampires, and a host of stunning revelations about who—and what—she really is are only just the beginning…

A brilliant start to a new relationship

Rating: Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

Bad Blood is an awesome tale. Weaved from campfire ghost stories & present day events like cell manipulation & gov't black ops, this book is a brilliant read & a great new series to replace the VHLS, which is nearing an end. LA is the best writer in this genre in my opinion. She has a poetic, lyrical style that makes reading her books like watching a movie. The characters are well developed & even the seeming most insignificant character has depth & sometimes turns up in unexpected ways in the story. Kudos for another super fantastic series. The CMS rocks!!!

Heavy on romance, light on fantasy

Rating: Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2

This book is categorized as Dark Fantasy, the description on the back
cover makes it sound like an Urban Fantasy. After reading it, I'm
classifying it has a Romance novel with paranormal elements, emphasis
on the romance. I was looking for an urban fantasy with some romantic
elements thrown it, not the other way around.

While this book takes a new spin on werewolf mythology that is
interesting if a little confusing, it is mostly a romance novel (70%
of the book is devoted to romance/sex). The writing was sub par as
well, especially in the first few chapters. I got pretty tired of
reading about someone's 'sexy eyebrow', or 'sexy smile', or 'sexy
grin', or 'sexy glance' etc. Beyond that, the plot could have been
more interesting had it been told in a different manner. As it was
the story took a number of rather pointless "sex breaks" that
detracted from the overall narrative. I'm going to take a pass on the
rest of this series and probably on any other L. A. Banks novels as
well.

Pretty boring and slow. I started it weeks ago and keep reading it but its really easy to put it down and forget about it. Some day I might finish it.I would not recomend this book.

Good start to new series

Rating: Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

The new werewolf series has a lot of promise. It is as good as the vampire books were back when they started.

Great way to start a new series

I have read a few books by LA Banks, from the romance to the paranormal and she is truly gifted beyond her years. I am also a huge VHL fan. Bad Blood is a great way to start a new series and I cannot wait for the next book which I have already pre ordered. If you are not familiar with her work and the way that she writes then you may not really 'get'it at first, when I first started the VHL series, I was intrigued but lost by minion, then the awakening, then when I read the hunted it all started to come together her series seems to unfold as the books go on. At first you will get that she is just saying evil is evil and good is good, but that is not so, thats more so a personal interpretation when your wanting the climax or the point to come before she gives it. In reading all of the books, you seem to see what one thing has to do with the other and why she was very detailed and giving deep backgrounds because later on, that will come in handy, if you have never read any of her other books, I'd say do that first, then start on one of the series. Otherwise you may not be in tune to her form of writing with all the explaining that does indeed become helpful later on. In the VHL series, the books gets better as they progress just as they should, Minion started off the series a little slow and almost confusing but ended interesting, like the characters, each book is a step of growth, them learning more and you the reader understanding more as time goes on....like life. I believe the Bad blood series will do the same, in the first book people are like okay, I'm a little confused, then the second book will come and the first book will make much more sense, then the third book will come and the second book will make much more sense and you'll start to understand the flow of the story. Ms. Banks is a very talented writer with a beautiful imagination, no matter the genre, across the board her books are hot. If you open your mind and have a little patience, you will be able to cross over into that other world with her characters...while your reading at least lol. I hope you all enjoy.
