Bittersweet Blood by Nina Croft
4.0
The cover of BITTERSWEET BLOOD didn't really draw me in but I ended up enjoying it despite that. Tara really has no clue who she is and when she seeks out answers Christian Roth ends up turning her world upside down.
Tara has spent her whole life following weird rules her aunt drilled into her head. Now that her aunt is gone Tara wants nothing more than to be normal and finds herself breaking the rules one by one. Unfortunately she is anything but normal and slowly finds out why. Tara starts off pretty reserved but once she starts opening up she doesn't let anything stand in her way of living how she wants. Christian is the sexy vampire. He was protective and surprisingly understanding most of the time. Tara had no idea he was anything but human when she hired him to look into her past and her aunt. In fact Tara has no idea about anything paranormal in the world. Christian is instantly drawn to Tara while Tara has a little more hesitant about him. The relationship between the two builds slowly but heats up fast. Even though Christian and Tara are the main character focus we still get to learn enough about the supporting characters so that we feel like we really know them too.
BITTERSWEET BLOOD had a really neat world set in London. There are Vampires, Werewolves, Demons, Fae and other types of Shifters. We get to experience both the city as well as the country. The action was nicely displayed and the story had an easy flow to it. I'm hoping book 2 will still be focused on Christian and Tara but I wouldn't be disappointed if one of the other characters was the focus.
