Quick summary:

1. Lucian is an ancient vampire who finds a kindred spirit in human Frederik Berg. They are both sharks: fierce, self-centered, competitive, manipulative kinky bastards who form an immediate bloody connection. Lucian collars Frederik as his pet and begins his transformation to a vampire.

2. Lucian's son Emil, another vampire, is disturbed by the relationship and starts digging for dirt on Frederick. He uncovers two men who are sworn enemies of Frederik More...

I don't want to leave those two stars dangling there like an accusation, so let me explain my reaction.

For some reason, BLOOD RUN COLD felt like a small story being given a staggering page count (185k words!) and I couldn't always put my finger on why. The characters were pretty simple. The worldbuilding relatively familiar. The machinations straightforward. And yet I could feel the outline flexing under the incidents. Often complications seemed to occur (Lucian's children, the offer t More...

After reading Special Forces and Test of Faith, this one seemed rather weak. The characters were interesting, particularly Lucian and Frederick, the bad guys. But the balance between the good guys and the bad guys was off, for me. After going deeply into the relationship between Lucian and Frederick, the authors simply abandoned them for a long time, concentrating on the other three characters.

It's one of those books that has great characters, but doesn't quite jell (like many movie

Let me start out by saying that if you like nice, romantic vamps that ask before they bite, this book is definitely NOT for you. This vamp culture is savage, and I mean far beyond BDSM and safewords. Bloodplay? More like blood bath in some scenes. I have a feeling if vamps are really out there, they are more like these guys, and that they are different makes them extremely interesting to read about.

The authors did a great job with both characters and plot. I found the most fasci More...

A full-on read that kept me guessing all the way through. Loved the characters and their struggles and as always their discovery that they are capable of things they didn't dare dream of - love, emotion, pain, hatred, murder... Just fabulous

Wow...just Wow!!!
This was one intense read; so much action, passion and biting.
Definitely one hot; hell on wheels read.
I enjoyed the diversity of the characters. All of them played such an important role in the whole of the story.
I really really liked this book.
Highly Recommend.

Got about halfway through, and although it was written well it didn't grab my interest at the time. I think I'd like to have another go at it though.
