Bloodshot by Cherie Priest
4.0
This book was a happy surprise for me. I picked it up for a little over £1 from The Works, mostly because I was in the mood for something new. I had never heard of Cherie Priest and in truth, I tend to find vampires quite dull (yes, even Anne Rice's books bore me...with a few exceptions).
Both the the cover and synopsis drew me in, and then I realised that the sequel was also in the store so I decided to take a chance on them.
Raylene Pendle is by and far one of the most intriguing vampires I've come across. She has quirks. A lot of them. She has faults. Plus, she's cool. The book ran along at a wonderful pace as Raylene gathered her supporting cast, including an ex-military drag act, and built up to an ending that would feel comfortable to any Urban Fantasy fan.
If you're looking for a vampire that stands out from the well known regulars, the Cheshire Red books are well worth taking a risk on.
