Stein, Jeanne C.: Blood Drive

Blood Drive (2008)
Writer: Jeanne C. Stein
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Pages: 297

The premise: book two has Anna struggling with what it means to be a vampire while still living a human life, and if that's not bad enough, she learns that her long-dead brother may have had a daughter, and this daughter is now missing and in serious trouble. Anna will do whatever it takes to find the girl, and her search teaches her there's more to the world of the supernatural than she ever imagined...

My Rating

Worth the Cash: Blood Drive is a solid, fast read and enjoyable, if a little predictable in its plot. If you're tired of the vampire stereotype, this series isn't for you, because it plays them up, especially the vampires = great sex element, although in this book it's done much, much better. It didn't squick me out like The Becoming did, nor did it piss off my inner feminist like the last one did, so I'll be happy to give book three a shot.

The full review, which does include spoilers for both this book and the previous one, The Becoming, may be found in my LJ. As always, comment and discussion are most welcome.
