From the opening pages, this book kicks you-know-what. The ingredients are intrigue, mystery, fangs, and sex. Overall, great!

Detective Victoria Tyler is investigating a vampire serial killer that’s been preying on human women in the Collins Bay area. The last vampire she wants to turn to for help in tracking down the killer is Michael, club owner and the enforcer of the vampire Mafia’s cosca. Victoria’s position is dangerous because she is an unclaimed human that knows that vampires exist, plus she almost killed Michael. To catch the murderer, Victoria must surrender her body and will to Michael to infiltrate their dark world. It’s a struggle to keep her heart from betraying her. Victoria is a woman carrying the painful scars of betrayal. Michael will need to fight every step of the way to win her love and trust while keeping her safe.

Angela Cameron has generated a shadowy underworld of sex, blood and intrigue with two very strong-willed and passionate characters that keep the action on the edge. The terminology, rituals and laws of Michael’s world is riveting. I was fascinated by the hot-blooded power struggle between Victoria and Michael, their sensuous and sordid history, and the consequences of their choices and bond. The best part is that the brutality is balanced out by deep love and fierce protectiveness. The vampire social structure seemed labyrinth at times; I needed to grasp a thread here and there to find my way back into the plot. Although the jargon added authenticity to the setting, it certainly kept me on my toes.

Blood and Sex, Volume 1: Michael races from page to page, bursting with loads of sexual tension, steamy sex, vile villains, Machiavellian schemes and paranormal thrills. The supporting characters such as Jonas and Jude are delightful while bringing to mind vamps from Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake series but all in a complimentary good way since Ms. Cameron adds a fresh twist to her vamps. And like the Anita Blake series, there’s a fair share of graphic violence. All and all, this novel carries its own weight without comparisons and will do quite well as a preternatural crime series.

BLOOD AND SEX, VOLUME 1: MICHAEL by Angela Cameron, is a book offering a pounding romance and enthralling suspense along a love of a vampire hero!

Michael is the first hero in this series set in Florida centering around Michael’s club called The Fallen. As owner of this club, he assures the rules of Allenza, their vampire world, is followed, especially foremost, the protecting of humans. The heroine Tori is a detective pressed in resolving these eight killings by the an evil vampire called the Bay Gnasher. As Tori suspects that it involves a villain that goes against what this vampire world means, Tori enlists Michael’s help in getting to that ‘underworld’. That ‘underworld’ is with another club called The Scene that involves crimes against humans from these evil vampires. As Tori has a past with Michael, she’s determined to keep her resolve to focus solely on solving this and keeping her wall of temptation up from Michael. Along with a past and a promise, Tori has a powerful pull and passion for Michael that is gives a fevered and romantic story.

BLOOD AND SEX, VOLUME 1: MICHAEL is an engrossing and breathtaking suspense and a romance that seizes the reader from beginning to end. Traveling the road with Michael and Tori was impressive and their relationship both and poignant and grew more and more as the story went on. Jonas, a secondary character, will be the hero in the next book who has secrets of his own about him. I’d have loved to have a bit of a dictionary that would help with some of the special terms used for the book. Similar that I’ve seen in those with the Cajun words. But as the story went on, I was able to grasp those terms better. With a theme of romance, suspense and paranormal, its a combination that makes for a great series.

Ok. First time I have read this author and let me just say WOW! I was really impressed with the story and writing style. Ms. Cameron created an awesome world that kept you wanting to see what came up next. Her characters are HOT…beyond hot actually. Michael and Jonas??? I would love to see a little tag team action with them and tori. (I’m just saying) Tori was a strong female lead and her personality blended well with Michaels. I have immediately started book two because honestly I just can’t get enough of Jonas. YUM!
