This book begins where the first, Sunrise at Sunset, left off. Katrina and Caleb have defeated Chimalma; unfortunately this has left Caleb with nightmares and Katina with a wish to do more hunting. London vampire Alton has given Caleb advice on dealing with Katrina’s newly reawakened urges, and Paige also comes back to Atlanta for a visit.

Katrina and Caleb have been dating for several months now, and while they may have had a few disagreements they are still going strong. Caleb is not just another boyfriend for Katrina, he is her mate. Katrina learns to cook in order to do something nice for Caleb. She hasn’t cooked for centuries, but she wants to be able to surprise him with the unexpected. This may not sound like much, but remember, she’s a vampire and the smell of food cooking can be a very unpleasant experience for them.

Katrina’s view on Caleb’s love:
“For all of her strength, determination, aggression, and power, she was like a fragile rose before his needs and desires. It was a vulnerable feeling and one that as an alpha vampire she wasn’t accustomed to. And yet she embraced it deeply within herself and held onto it as if it were the very source of her life force.” (Kindle location 455, Page 27)

Caleb’s view on Katrina’s love:
“Katrina makes me feel loved, protected, and encouraged. She’s someone who’s willing to accept me just as I am without condition. And I feel desired and needed by her...’My relationship with Katrina is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and I’m completely in love with her.’” (Kindle location 671, Page 40)

Katrina and Caleb’s relationship is not the only thing growing and expanding in this book. Caleb is starting to become a stronger individual who is much more capable of taking care of himself. Not that he can stand up to vampires completely yet, but he can now hold his own against some mere humans. It will be interesting to see if Caleb’s “transformation” will lead into a much greater transformation into that of a vampire. Several hints were placed throughout the story that he already shows great promise at becoming a strong vampire himself.

Vampire politics start to come into play more in this book as well. Katrina and Caleb make a trip to London to visit Alton, and what begins as a spring break vacation ends up being a little more than any of them bargained for. The events that occur in London will play a major role in the next book in the series, Summit at Sunset. Alton is trying to bring the vampires together in a European summit, and I have a feeling that things will not go as smoothly as planned.

Overall, I think this was a nice, solid addition to the series. I can’t wait to see how things are going to develop with Katrina, Caleb, Paige, and Alton. It ought to be interesting to see how vampires come together during the summit, and what kind of vampires we’ll be introduced to. I also hope to see Caleb grow even more. He’s already developed so much over two novels, that I can imagine we’ll start seeing even more out of him in the next book. I also hope there’s even more of Paige. Her spunky self is still my favorite character, and I love it whenever she’s in a scene.

If you enjoyed book one, I definitely think you’ll enjoy book two and wind up looking forward to the next one. A Bloody London Sunset was an enjoyable read, and one that I would recommend to others.(less)

I must admit, I have become a fan of this talented author since I reviewed his first novel in this series Sunrise at Sunset in December. I have been waiting for the second, A Bloody London Sunset release, and I cannot say this book was anything other than what I EXPECT from Jaz Primo.

The opening premise of book #1, is that our vampire called Amber, became dissatisfied with life and planned to ‘journey into the sun’. She pulled her car over to an open field, and got out lying in a meadow, await...more

Firstly I would like to thank Jaz for sending me a signed copy of his book. Like the first in the series, A Bloody London Sunset has a lovely front cover and the book feels nice to hold.

Katrina and Caleb’s relationship continues to be strong, I really like what Caleb said to Tanisha when he was defending their relationship to her.... ’There’s usually more to a couples relationship than what’s presented to the outside world. There is always something that’s only known between just those two peopl...more

Shelves: written-by-me

I thoroughly enjoyed writing this novel! The continuing development of the main characters on their own personal journeys of self-discovery was refreshing for me, and it led me easily into the material (storyline, character development, etc.) for the next novel. Each character’s personal growth seems realistic to me, versus being contrived or forced merely for developing a story. In the end, my personal hope is that readers further embrace characters that they may not have liked as well from the...more

This is the second book in Jaz's vampire series, and I must admit it is quite fascinating. He has done a complete role-reversal in the male-female normal vampire relationship that we as a reader have come to expect. Hats off to that Jaz. I love books that widen the scope of things. So we have Katrina, who is a major alpha vamp. As I stated before, Katrina could never have an alpha as a mate. She is much too dominate and I could see her easily killing another male that constantly challenged her....more

This is book 2 in the Sunset Vampire Series. This book continues the saga of alpha vampire Katrina and her human mate Caleb, who we first met in Sunrise at Sunset. This book picks up a few months after the defeat of vampire enemy Chimalma. Katrina and Caleb are back home in Atlanta. Alton is in London and Paige has returned to California. Things have not settled down for the two though. Their battle with Chimalma has marked them. They are having trouble connecting in their relationship. Caleb seeks advice from Alton. Paige feeling the strain between the two returns to Atlanta to help, bringing a human with her. As if that is not enough to deal with vampires are turning up unexpectedly. A trip to London not only brings Caleb’s memories to the front but also brings in vampire politics and more danger.
I enjoyed reading A Bloody London Sunset. Katrina is still dominant but we see the softer side where Caleb, and even Paige, is concerned. Caleb is getting stronger. This was welcome to see. With someone as strong as Katrina it would be easy to make him wimpy. It is going to be interesting to watch his growth. There were several hints of Caleb one day making a strong vampire. It will be exciting to see if and how this transpires. There is action and intrigue in this book. The action is intense. However I had the feeling this book was more a building of and establishing relationships between vampires and vampire to Caleb. It seemed to be laying the foundation for book 3, Summit at Sunset. Vampire politics will come more into play and we will need this foundation.
I really enjoy this series. It is refreshing to have the dominant vampire be a female. A woman who can handle things on her own and does not mind saying so. Caleb’s acceptance of this could have made him weak but the author makes a point of making Caleb strong in his own right. This brings a unique and fresh storyline to a popular genre. The one drawback for me was the over use of smirk. About halfway through the book I was tired of it. I don’t believe this will continue to be a problem because I have noticed the excellent thing about Jaz Primo is that he improves his writing. In reading his first and second books you can see his growth as a writer. I am positive this will continue making each book he writes better than the last.

When it comes to prologues Jaz never lets me down. I am always fascinated with them. In the first book the prologue had a vampire that almost commits suicide and in the second one there is a recap of a previous fight with blood and a rolling head. Yes, blood and gore captures me.

In A Bloody London Sunset we are thrown back into Caleb and Kat’s romance. Kat is still feeling guilty and refuses to feed from Caleb because of her accidental attack towards him. Caleb is trying to come up with a way fo...more

A huge thanks to Jaz for allowing me to review his second novel. I truely loved Sunrise at Sunset and was really excited when I finally got this through my door. I could have kissed my postman. And I was not disappointed at all.

Set just a little after the events in book 1 we see Kat and Caleb trying to get their lives back on track. However, soon Caleb discovers the secrets that Kat has been hiding and he is finding life even harder to trust. With the help of Paige though they soon patch things up and escape to England. Things seem to be working out great for our couple but not is all as they appear in England and soon they find themselves in danger yet again.

So its no secret how much I love this first book and its mainly due to the wonderful strong characters. Kat is a strong willed bad assed Alpha Vampires, yet she seems to have softened a little more from the previous novel. Caleb, who was quite shy in the first book has really grown. He is more out going and just an overall stronger character. The two of them together is just wonderful. They are made for each other. Clearly in love and yet its not an overally romantic, sickly kind of love. Even when they are fighting they still adore each other. The big plus for me was the return of the favourite character, Paige Turner (and yes that still makes me giggle) I just love Paige. She is so cute and yet kind of scary. Her and Caleb's friendship is very interesting and they way they act around each other is sometimes so playful and sweet its almost childlike.

A Blood London Sunset is the kind of story that you can just lose yourself in. Its action packed and full of suspense and witty banter that its hard not to drawn into it. Even though the title is suggests that its going to mainly set in London, don't get to see London until about two thirds of a way in. Although I was so enchanted with the story that I honestly didn't even notice because Jaz has a way to building up and story and then just BAM the main event just hits you and its just plain awesome!!

If you love your urban fantasy with a fast paced, action packed story then please read this series. And support Jaz who is a wonderful and talent Indie author.(less)

Jaz has an excellent way of giving his readers an in depth look into his characters. He has a wonderful way of including all of the back story without being overly descriptive. He doesn't bore his audience with his descriptiveness and I love that about him.

I love the story between Caleb and Kat. The unique relationship they have has everyone in the vampire community amazed. I found that Kat wasn't as evident in book 2 as she was in book 1. She is a strong character but I thought that she had tak...more

I loved how Alton gave Caleb his great advice to spice up his relationship with Katrina, it had me entertained as much as Katrina was. I found myself wanting to play along with his 'Find Caleb' game.

I enjoyed the frist book in this series much better. I took weeks to finish this story. I usually finish a book in 24 hours.

There wasn't one thing that I can put my finger on and say, "that was bad." It is always nice to revisit ond friends from previous books. You expect them to grow and change as they develope. I'm afraid that Kat is more and more turning into a woman I'd tell any guy to run from.

She is a vamp that I could see fun to hang with, would always have your back, and just needs a hug sometimes.

I believe this was a fun read! I like that Paige took on more of a main character role. However, I feel like Caleb is kind of a pansy. Katrina is a bad ass and Caleb just falls in line...we know who wears the pants! It would be nice to see Caleb "man" up! Other than that, it was Fantastic!!!
