Not sure what my fascination is with horror lately, but I cannot say I'm disappointed, especially with Rick Reed's books.
In the blood takes vampires to a new level. Both, horrifying and yet, human. Strange combination, but Reed pulls it off flawlessly. What I find most intriguing about In the Blood is the detailed emotional content. Each character, the good intentioned to the evil, are painted with such vividness and their emotions and physical feelings are portrayed in depth that you can not on...more

“The one thing in the lives of you mortals you can never change, no matter how hard you try to deny it, is your desire for love”

Another great book by Rick. R. Reed. He really is an amazing author and his characterization brings every character to life with such crystal clarity as is if you are in the book with them.
I should have stopped reading this book after 20 pages. It felt like this was 184 pages of exposition and 2 pages of conclusion. Nothing really happened. Edward's story was unnecessary page filler. If Elise was going to be the main character, then the book should have focused on her more. Verb tenses were weird and everything just felt flat and cold. Overall, I just should have passed on this one.
