Natasha's Reviews > Blood Law

Blood Law is the first installment in the Alexandra Sabian series by Jeannie Holmes. When I found out we were going to be reading this for the Traveling Book Gnome, I was super excited. I did like the book, but I found myself straying at times. It wasn't because of poor writing, it was written very well. I just think the storyline sometimes dragged on(in my opinion). It is, in fact an original book. I just found something missing...

Alex is a vampire who works as an Enforcer for the FBPI (Federal Bureau of Preternatural Investigations) in small town in Mississippi called Jefferson. This world is aware of vampires, but not all loves them.
When Vampires are murdered in the area, all in a similar way, and the humans suspicion regarding the vampires get out of control, Alex needs help. Although, the help she get's isn't what she wanted.
Alex's Ex, Varik, shows up on the scene with directions to take over her investigation. Making it look like she can't handle the case. As if she didn't have enough to worry about.

I did in fact, love the characters. Alex is a strong heroine. I liked her from the start, and found I liked her even more throughout the book. She cares about the people in her life, and she's a tough enforcer.
Varik is my favorite of the book. He's a handsome, protective male with a big heart. I will be reading the rest of the series, mostly for him. One character I couldn't stand was Harvey, Jefferson’s bigoted sheriff. I know he was supposed to come off that way, but ugh, what a guy!

I do recommend this book to urban fantasy lovers. It was a good read, paced with action, suspense and romance. I found something lacking in the book, but I still liked it. It was a good read while camping, and I have a feeling the series will get better with each new book.
