Blood Relic by Lucretia Stanhope

5.0

So dark, and yet holding onto the light -- just like Alice. What I love about this series is the creatures are not just witches, vampires and werewolves in name only, prancing around with human emotions. They are dark entities and behave accordingly with no remorse. The story is dark, so be prepared. Yet, there is also the light that shines through -- due to love for Alice. It's such a great contrast of good vs evil, allowing both to reside in everyone involved without making anyone fit into a classification of either dark or light. I love that Alice struggles with her desire not to kill, yet will do what her soul calls out for her to do. She changes, yet remains who she is. Great storytelling all around. You'll want to start with book one to get the full story, even though you can read this one by itself.
