This book was even better than I expected! I'm not usually into the whole horror genre but the wonderful interaction of the characters (especially Mina and Rob) kept me riveted to Ms. Clay's book. I also liked the fact that not all the vampires were like you see in the movies. Not all of them are perfect or even beautiful in this book. Well done, I hope this becomes a series.

Mina, who realises exactly after 23 years that the Council elders have expressed their wish to use her half-human blood to become daywalkers, tells the story of how the Council of Vampires reacted to her refusal to participate and cooperate with an experiment.

The first part of "Blood Donor" sets the scene by putting certain elder Vampires in the forefront, explains the purpose and benefits of walking in the daylight. Deep friendship between Mina and Rob is the reason I enjoyed this book, because their friendship is so unconditional and true.

"Blood Donor" is filled with a mix of fiercely devastating and interesting characters like psychotic and a loner Vampire called Greylin. Here's how Mina describes Greylin: "His nose was thin and somewhat beakish, giving him the appearance of a vulture."

Michel, Jamal, Becky Mills, Mr Smythe, Teddy, Berrod are all creepy and interesting, but the most important character in the novel is Mina's friend, Robert Neal. You get the feeling that Mina is telling this story because she wants the world to believe that she tried to do the right thing, to protect Rob's feelings and friendship even though her vampirism was grinding her down.

Mina is valuable to the Council. The secret about Mina's half blood and very special abilities is just one of the reasons you want to keep turning the pages to find out what happens in "Blood Donor." But if you want to know what the Master of Council will decide and what will happen to Mina, Rob and the kidnapped humans, those who escaped the brutal experimentation in "Blood Donor," you will have to read the book!

"Blood Donor" by Michelle Clay is an amazing and riveting story that catches your attention right from the start. Each spell-binding page keeps you eager to not stop reading and when the end finally does come, you are anguished that there is no more. "Blood Donor" is a must read and I highly recommend it to everyone!

I found this book interesting and full of fast moving action. I love vampire stories and Blood Donor didn't let me down. I was surprised to find the lead character somewhat sympathetic to the creatures she hunts. A few scenes were a little gory, but it didn't keep me from enjoying this book.
