I totally disliked this unrealistic book and am disappointed that the author did not, I'm assuming, write to the best of his ability. If someone handed me this book and told me it was from an anonymous author, I would have given it 2 stars for a first time author.
From the first page you get self indulgent writing.
David is a guy who is out shopping for a ring for his girlfriend Janine. "His gaze drifted to the white price tag beside it. Written in blue ink was a figure so astronomica...more

This is now my second Smith title that I have read and reviewed, and at this point, I can safely say that I am simply not a fan. Although I rated his previous work DARK ONES at one star, I gave him a bit of a pass because it was my introduction to his work and I didn't want to be overly critical in my assessment.
Well... I think at this point, I firmly understand what kind of writer Smith is and the things I really don't like about BLOODRUSH and DARK ONES. As a positive though... I did feel like...more

If you think:
-setting up the scene is a unnecessary drag,
-more horror means higher piles of body's,
-every scene should be stuffed with dismembered body parts, preferably naked ones,
-motives for characters actions are not important,
-having a plot is boring....
then you're going to love this!
From the moment you start this book you find your self in the center of carnage and it doesn't ease up until the end. First few scenes i was like really shocked and wondered what is happening and so on. Then...more

The ending of this book made me mad. Granted, some of my favorite books have endings that are the opposite of what I want because I'm often rooting for the real villain of the story and for that truly unhappily ever after ending.
If you think all vampire tales have been told - are the same, then drink this one in and be both surprised and shocked. Not for the faint of heart it's much more realistic in it's horror than the typical "vampire" story. I mean, they are monsters after all...

Bryan Smith’s Bloodrush is an elegantly straightforward horror tale of the seductive appeal of power. The reader joins David Rucker on his journey from average decent human being to vile narcissistic creature. Smith never cheats the reader and still manages to create terrific plot twists. The end was perfect and added immensely to the entire reading experience.
