Blood Law (Alexandra Sabian, #1)
by
"Why can't we all just get along??"
Alexandra Sabian is a vampire who works for the Federal Bureau of Preternatural Investigations as an Enforcer. She's in charge of making sure the vamps don't break any laws and when they do, she's on the case.
Vamps have been out of the closet for 40 years. There are people who don't seem to care either way, people who mingle with them and people who hate them.
The main feel of the book, for me unfortunately, was more of a hate-crimes story. But, it's basically a murder mystery with vamps.
There were some interesting twists on the vampires in her world, including the relationships between Hunters and Talents. I hope the next book focuses more on that and the "library" that Alex now has access to vs. the hatin', bigoted asses. LOL! I'm hopeful that it will, since, in the end, the murder mystery was solved.
Overall, I liked it enough to check out the 2nd one. But, if the feel of the story doesn't change, I'll probably skip the rest. There's enough hatin' goin' on in the real world, IMO.

I keep seeing this book everywhere. And it's sitting on Mt. TBR. I guess I should try to find it and read it, LOL. Great review, Steph.

Thanks, AH. If/When you do, let me know what you think. I wanted to love it. But, it was just 3-3.5★ for me. Not terrible, just not as WOW as I was hoping for when I finished. Definitely some stuff I'd like to read more about, so I'm sure I'll check out #2 at some point.
