Book Review of Blood Oath.
Blood Oath was fun reading.
There are a few reasons for this but the main one is it feels almost like I’m watching a fast-paced action movie with plenty of likable characters and hilarious moments.
The pacing for this one was just right. Straight from the opening, there’s always plenty going on. But at the same time, the author manages to let us in on the main character’s past either through flashbacks or snippets of scientific reports. I really liked how the author manages to pack in so much information without drowning me in details.
Then, there’s the 2 main characters. I thought it a nice change to see a vampire being depicted as the monster he was. Nathaniel Cade may be fighting on the side of the good guys now, but if he wasn’t bound by his oath, there’s no doubt in my mind he’d be one of the enemy. Zach is another character that grew on me, changing from a whiny know-it-all to someone Nathaniel can depend on by the end of the story.
I’m definitely adding the next book, The President’s Vampire, to my wish list.

Totally agree! It is like you are sitting there in front of the tv or movie screen watching a movie! I think these would be totally easy to adapt to screen and fun to watch :)
