I'm no coward. I want to make that perfectly clear. But after my life turned into a horror movie, I take fear a lot more seriously now. I finally became Dr. Carrie Ames just eight months ago. Then I was attacked in the hospital morgue by a vampire. Just my luck.

So now I'm a vampire, and it turns out I have a blood tie to the monster who sired me. The tie works like an invisible leash, and I'm bound to him no matter what I do. And of course he's one of the most evil vampires on earth. With my sire hell-bent on turning me into a soulless killer and his sworn enemy set to exterminate me, things couldn't get much worse...except I'm attracted to them both.

Drinking blood, living as an immortal demon, and being a pawn between two warring vampire factions isn't exactly how I'd imagined my future. But as my father used to say, the only way to conquer fear is to face it. So that's what I'll do. Fangs bared.

Don't miss the rest of the Blood Ties series, including Book Two, The Possession and Book Three, Ashes to Ashes, and Book Four, All Souls' Night.©2006 Jennifer Armintrout (P)2006 Audible, Inc.

Critic reviews

"This fast, furious novel is a squirm-inducing treat." (Publishers Weekly)

I am a huge fan of vampier genre. This is not the best, but fairly entertaining. The narrator was great in the main character. However, the supporting characters were ear piercing. I felt parts were a little drawn out. I am not even sure if I would listen to the sequal.

average at best

Character development for the doctor turned vampire was nonexistent. She was too accepting of her circumstances and the gore.
Narration was ok except that all the evil vampires sounded like Gollum. And some of the serious conversations sounded too upbeat.
Overall Ok, but glad it was a free listen. I would not have been happy had I paid for it.

Story had potential, but...

Great Vampire novel

I probably would not read this book, but I will probably listen to the next book. A little elementary in the writing, but interesting enough to keep me going. The audio talent was a little whiny, but the book was enjoyable.
