I don't believe in evil. It's a word I use, certainly, because words are shortcuts and we all take the short way round from time to time, but that's... Continue »

Hottie vamp alert! I picked up "Magic in the Blood" after reading the blurb on the back of the book. I'm happy to say that the book was even better than the blurb!! Take one devastatingly sexy vamp, add a female mage, stir in a bit of mystery and a villain or two and you have a pretty fun read with some smokin' sex!

Liz is in trouble. Another mage has moved into her town and is searching for a 'treasure' and he appears to be willing to kill to find it. She's been keeping a low profile while trying to gauge the new mage's strength, but she's pretty sure he MAY be stronger especially since she doesn't use her powers to kill! She decides to approach her supernatural neighbor for assistance...until she finds out exactly what he is.

Avran has a pretty cushy life, despite not being able to eat some interesting looking foods for the last 600 years. On the plus side, he's old enough that he doesn't need blood very often. When he scents a woman spying on him, he's surprised to find he's suddently ravenous. When she comes in to speak with him, his hunger drives him to try for a sip...and he's shocked when she zaps him! That's when he realizes she must be a mage, and one in need of help. As they work together to stop a power-hungry mage, Avran realizes he's finally found the woman he can love...and she's one his brethren will never allow him to turn.

Entertaining read. Liz has a couple of TSTL moments, but I guess she gets a free pass since she's a mage herself and isn't totally sure she's not powerful enough alone to handle it. She also irritated me a bit with her waffling, but hey, it's a big decision and past hurts do tend to guide our present decisions. All in all, I enjoyed the story and the smokin' sex. Check it out and tell me what you think!
