When Blood Calls 3 Stars Synopsis: Prosecuting attorney Sara Constantine has just been promoted and will now be prosecuting vampires and other supernatural beings. Unfortunately, the suspect in her first case just happens to be Lucius Dragos, the sexy stranger with whom she shared a night of unbridled passion. Is Luke guilty of killing the retired judge or is he protecting someone he loves? Will Sara live to find out the truth? Review: Good world building with a compelling premise based on the idea that supernatural beings needing to be policed and prosecuted. Nevertheless, the actual story is predictable and the ending anti-climactic. The ultimate explanation for the murder and the identity of the villain is so obvious it makes me cringe. Moreover, none of the characters are particularly interesting and the romance is uninspired. Sara constant shifting between her desire for Luke and her need to convict him becomes annoying after a while. Also, her fear of him is irrational given that he has had plenty opportunity to kill her if he so desired. Luke is not a particularly likeable character. I love a dangerous hero as much as the next person and I don’t have any problems with the moral shades of grey that often permeate paranormal romance (see my review of Blood on silk) but within Beck’s world it is difficult to escape the fact that Luke is a killer with some questionable motives and past behaviors. The writing is descriptive but drawn out in places to the extent that I had a hard time finishing the book. I can't see myself continuing with the series. Good start to a new series. At times there were so many names and characters thrown out that it was a bit confusing, but in the end I enjoyed it and will continue to read the series. This series threw a few twists in that you don't see in other series that makes it unique and interesting to read. Here's hoping it continues in the next book! ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Attorney Sara Constantine is thrilled with her promotion -- until she finds out that she must now prosecute vampires and werewolves. The first defendant she has to try to put away is Luciu Dragos, a man with whom she recently shared a night of passion. When Lucius kisses a beautiful woman sitting next to him at the bar, he's only hoping to avoid the gaze of the man he's planning to kill. But what starts as a simple kiss ignites into passion. Charged with murder, Luke knows that Sara is determined to see him locked away -- unless he can convince her that he's not a monster. And that might mean making the ultimate sacrifice.
