Bitten by Books
The Order of the Blood by Nicole Vlachos and Lane Morris was a great book. The storytelling and background of the characters made for an interesting story. The writers spelled out their story in such a manner that you could relate to the characters and look forward to what’s coming next.
Ian and Robin had been friends as mortals over ten years ago. Finally they are reunited, and Ian is a newly turned fledgling vampire without a Sire while Robin has managed to stay human despite others’ attempts to do otherwise. The Brethren is looking for both Robin and Ian to kill them both. Robin takes Ian to Simon, an angry man who’s application to become a member of the Brethren was denied centuries ago. He is now the leader of the Order of the Blood and has a constant rivalry with the Brethren. He even went so far as to create an army to kill all the Brethren they could find.Now Robin has come out of hiding and relies on a man she doesn’t trust to take Ian under his wing and make him accepted into The Order of the Blood. Will Simon accept Ian into his exclusive order or will he kill both of them? What does the future hold for young Ian? Read on to find out.
The authors, Nicole and Lane, are masterminds at storytelling. They have you rooting for their characters and really involved in the story. They pulled you through the chapters, and before you know it, you’re done and left wanting more. Their creativity was evident in this story as it took many twists and turns throughout. I give it a solid B+ for anyone who enjoys vampires and fantasy.
