Blood Ties by Mari Mancusi
4.0
reviewed by http://urbanfantasyinvestigations.blogspot.com/
I gave it 3.5 stars
This is the first book in the series that I have read, you definitely miss out on some background and relationship development but over all it was pretty easy to follow along with the plot. Sunny really wants to live a normal life but things keep getting thrown at her to make it clear she will never have one. There is even some background story in the beginning to help catch you up which really did help. A big part of the story is the love triangle that is going on between Sunny, Marcus and Jayden. Sunny is completely and totally conflicted and trying to figure out who she really wants while also helping to stop a war. The story as a whole was an easy read with a few slow points. I felt the way Sunny talks (slang wise) to be a tad bit annoying at some points but overall she was a like-able character as were all the rest of the characters I got to know. I liked how the book ended, it was the end yet the beginning of something else instead of being a big cliffhanger. If you have enjoyed the books in the Blood Coven Vampire series I'm sure you will enjoy the addition, if you have yet to pick one up yet but don't want to start at the beginning you will have no problem jumping in with BLOOD TIES.
