Synopsis
Sometimes destiny punches you in the face...
Or takes a big gulp from your jugular.
Bookstore owner Emily only experiences fantasies and supernaturals through the books she reads until she comes face to face with a vampire who bites her and then drops dead.
Upon hearing about her toxic blood, two vampire brothers kidnap Emily and force her to help them kill their master in exchange for her life and the life of her sister. But the longer she stays in their company, the more she realizes she was living a life she was never meant to and she needs to embrace her new normal. Even if giving in to her destiny will cost her hundreds of supernatural enemies who threaten to send her to an early grave.
Excerpt
"...dammit if I don’t want very badly to be kissed right now. I lick my lips and wait for him to close the distance. His breath washes over me, and his presence feels warm though he’s room temperature. I wait a long while, at least a minute, but when I’m sure the moment is gone, I finally open my eyes, and he’s no longer beside me. I exhale, disappointed and confused. I’m glad that he didn’t do what we both seemed to want but also devastated that he didn’t."
EDITORIAL REVIEW
"When Emily finds vampires in the alley behind her bookstore, she learns that nothing she knows about herself is true. Tainted Blood is a clever and erudite take on the modern vampire novel full of clever references, shifting allegiances, and powerful magic." Karen A., Line Editor, Red Adept Editing

Our Review:
I really enjoyed this story. Plain Jane girl gets attacked by vampires only to find out her life isn't what she thought it was...and down the rabbit hole I went. I gave it only 4 stars because...I am a HEA girl and while you get a small victory at the end...it wasn't what I was hoping for. Also, you see that Tainted Blood #2 will follow, but there is no indication that Emily and Sebastian are the main characters, likely it will follow Alexander. SO I am just sad that there wasn't more of a HEA for these two, because I really LOVE them together!
That being said. This was a fantastic story. It took me a couple days to read...and that is ONLY because I read at night and my husband has something plugged into his closet with red lights and I was a little weirded out about that. Read the story. You'll figure it out. Had this not been an issue for me, reading time would have been a little over 4 hours and binge reading it is not an issue. I found myself thinking, man I wish I had time to get back to that story.
I loved Emily in that she is a strong female lead. They are my most favorite. Anything that is less than strong can sometimes come across as annoying and so I really enjoyed that she was strong willed and pushed some buttons and thought for herself.
I can't wait to see what else is in store for this series. I am definitely putting Sara Hubbard on my watch list!
