It's the first novel in V.Anna's Valorian series. The chief of Otherworld Crime Unit, Caine Valorian, has a new case on his table. In order to solve this case, the OCU team has to work with a human, the member of the species none of the team members is willing to cross path..
Interesting and complicated conflict between humanity and the 'Others' is one of the main reasons which makes this novel compulsive. Nevertheless, somewhere in the middle of the book it started to fade.

The Otherworld CSI team consists of two vampires (Caine and Kellen), a werewolf (Jace), a witch (Lyra) and a human liason (Eve Grant). The sparks fly immediately when Eve is introduced to Caine and boy do they fly. The romance between these two almost eclipses the murder they are investigating. Though, of course, the team does solve the mystery and rescue Eve from the bad guy.

Blood Secrets is one of those books that, when searching for something memorable in a used bookstore, might drop from a rack high above and strike you upon your head. This book is rather thin but perhaps it could cause you enough brain damage to want to take it home and read about vampires and sex and vampires and sex and then some crime with vampires and sex. Forgetable, blah, nanana! I don’t remember much of this at all and I think I was drawn entirely by the title which isn’t always a good wa...more
The concept of a crime lab run by 'others' is intriguing to me. I'm not sure I like the idea of all the supernaturals living in a city apart form humans - I prefer ther to be more interaction between the species.
I'm marking Vivi Anna on my list so I can read the next story in The Valorian Chronicles.

This is the 1st book in the series, I must have read book 2 first a while back. Good set up for the series, and an interesting take on vampire, werewolves, witches. Internal conflicts were a little light, but the characters and plot are so woven together it didn't bother me
Just read this today it was just perfect to take along to the beach not very long but a good read. I plan on reading the rest of her books in this story line. This book has everything I could have asked for CSI, VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES, WITCHES And of course great LOVE!
Blood Secrets is the start of a paranormal series about crime scene investigators in Necropolis, a modern-day city of vampires, werewolves, and witches, closed off to the rest of humanity and situated smack-dab in the middle o' Texas. The closed-off city, the mutual mistrust and prejudices of the humans and the paranormals reminded me of the television series about those aliens with spotted heads with names like San Francisco. I liked this book more than I expected myself to, and look forward t...more

It was okay for a quick read. The focus was mostly on the crime and solving the crime. It is about a human assigned to work with a crime team made up of non humun characters. The human females falls for the vampire in the group. I just wish that they would have went a little further into the story and show whether she was turned or not.
Think CSI with vampires, werewolves, etc.
The whole giving the Otherworlders their own [closely guarded:] city smacks of apartheid but get past that and the story is a good one. Fairly fast read.
