Special Investigative Services agents John Benchley and his lover and partner Evan Garrett from "And Hell Itself Breathes Out" are back with another case from the files of the otherworldly and unexplained. In "Now I Could Drink Hot Blood", they join forces with a psychic assigned to the FBI, Dr. Gabrielle Dichenz, in order to track a killer. Their latest case finds them with bodies piling up and all the clues defying everyday logic. The victims in their case have had their throats ripped out by something toothy, and all of the bloody samples left behind catch fire in sunlight. Any other investigators would be baffled, but John, Evan and their team are far from normal. Can they solve the case before the death toll sky-rockets? Meanwhile, their new team member, Dr. Dichenz, has problems of her own in the guise of an abusive lover, a situation that John finds untenable. He insists on doing something about it. Will his efforts help or hinder Gabrielle sort out her personal demons? And can John protect Gabrielle from a psychopath and a monster without losing his lover Evan?

I completely agree with Blackrei. It was 95% about John and Brie's relationship, some about John feeling guilty about his and Evan's relationship and finally a smidgen about Evan and Brie's just friendship. This was not a menage relationship.
The story and it's mystery was good enough to keep you interested.
An ok book. John treated Even like crap and has serious anger issues. I was hoping for some kind of conclusion from the first book since one of the bad cultist college kids gets away.
