This was my first published book. Of course I thought it was amazing. I am currently updating it and will have it available for e-formats very soon.
Also, I know it's asking a lot, but this edition is over 20 years old. If you purchase it, I make no money from the purchase. I hope you will think about supporting my writing efforts by purchasing a new edition, and/or the upcoming sequels. Thanks!!

I had to no clue what to expect when I started reading Blood Thirst and WOW am I excited I did. I have no clue why I took so long to read this book.
Angela is on location for her job taking photos when she is attacked and left for dead. She wakes up in her car under water. Not knowing how she got there. She gets out and goes back to her hotel room but gets very ill. She gets a visitor the next day telling her he knows what she is going through and he can help.

Blood Thirst was an interesting read. Don’t ask me how I did it, but I somehow managed to read these books out of order, which let me say will normally mess a person up in a lot of ways. While I might have missed some of the back stories in the other novels, reading this one cleared up a lot of the mystery. I found Angela to be a very intriguing character and as I move forward in the series, look forward to getting to know her better. The author does a fantastic job of portraying vampires in a v...more
Blood thirst is definelty like no other vampire novel I have read. I was drawn in from the very begining with such vivid descriptions and the way in which L A Freed got right into the storyline. THoughts and feeling where certainly well outlined. Im not going to go into much detail with the storyline, I found at first I was engrossed from the first pages, and after half way the read slowed down for me then gliding along at a steady pace.
The storyline still had me intrigued till the end, the bac...more

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
In a word: Page-turner. Once I started this book, I didn't want to put it down and had to force myself away from it to get other (urgent) stuff done. I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into with this book. The story starts off with a bang when Angela is attacked by a vampire and left for dead, and I was pleasantly surprised that I couldn't predict what would happen next. I don't want to spoil all the twists and turns the st...more

Blood Thirst is the first of The Charleston Vampire Chronicles. I have been anxiously waiting to read this book and was not disappointed. Blood Thirst follows Angela Trenton through her change into a vampire. In the book, aside from the very beginning she is referred to as Ainjul, I will be calling her that as well.
I absolutely loved this book! At first it was a bit hard for me to follow because of Elijah’s accent, which was a deep drawl and written that way, but after the first couple chapters...more

What a unique story. We are taken on a ride through the changes a newly made vampire experiences. Angela is attacked by a vampire one night and left for dead, her body is trying to make the change due to a counterattack on her part that allowed her to ingest some of the vamps blood, but she is not able to fully change on her own. Enter Elijah - who helps her become one of the undead by turning her completely. Angela is no longer and Ainjul takes her place. We follow Ainjul through the changes a...more
I just finished Blood Thirst by LA Freed, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.
Angela was heading to her car when she was attacked by a vampire named Matthew. She managed to bite him in defense and swallowed some of his blood, but as a human, she was no match for him. She was knocked unconscious and thrown into a river. She managed to escape her sunken car and went back to her hotel. Near death and almost bloodless, she was visited by a vampire named Elijah, who offered to change her in...more

ARC for Review. OMGosh Thanks for the opportunity to Read-N-Review this first Installment of Charleston Vampire Chronicles - Blood Thirst by L. A. Freed. I does NOT disappoint.
First off I went into this blind, not knowing what to expect. WOW! I was drawn in from the start when Angela Trenton is attacked and left for dead. As she wonders what is happening to her, Elijah, an older vampire enters her world and the story takes off into an amazing journey through Angela's vampiric transformation. Ang...more

I have read a lot of vampire stories but never one like this,Blood Thirst is in a class by itself. L.A. Freed has put together an amazing story with such realistic detail you have to remind yourself it's fiction. Blood Thirst is a work of art! I definitely recommend this as a must read!
Oh my god! I'm so excited this is finally available in ebook, and the sequels! Must read!
This book was the first vampire book I read as a teen and it got me into reading. It was a gateway to Anne Rice vampire books for me and I adored it. I purchased several copies because mine kept falling apart because I read it so much. I used to have it memorized!
I haven't read the revamp yet, but just from seeing the first page I can see it was heavily edited. I'm sure that will only make it better! I'm rea...more

This is one of my all-time favorite books. I read this book back in the 1980's when it first came out and I've re-read it many times since.
A vampire love story that stands the test of time with bits of myth and mystery about changelings.
Wonderful read.

This was the book that began my love for all things vampire. I was twelve when it came out and I bought it with money I saved from my allowance. We were on vacation at a lake that week and I finished it in two days.
ARC for Review.

This is the ebook version of Blood Thirst. This edition has been updated from the original version published by Pinnacle books in 1989. This is the first book of The Charleston Vampire Chronicles. Available at amazon.com or smashwords.com, it's priced right and is really a good read that will hook you on the series.
