Love and an Open Vein
Vampire and vampire-hunter Sonja Blue is back, taking out her rage on the demonic blood-drinkers who hide among the living. But her hunt is attracting attention: Morgan, the monster who remade her 20 years ago wants to bring his beloved daughter to heel, and Sonja has found her existence entwined with that of a mortal man. Part of her wants to love him, but when dealing with monsters such as she, where does love end and slavery begin? The answer is in the blood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous genre blend - private eye/vampire tale, December 29, 1999

By 

Margaret Fiore - See all my reviews

This review is from: In the Blood (Paperback)

This is an absolutely roaring high-paced page turner with the one and only Sonja Blue! Sonja is a vampire for the feminist within any female reader. This is no sultry seduction-artist kind of babe vampire; she's badder than bad, tough as nails mentally and physically, and yet has an admirable code of personal honor at her core.

I first met Sonja in "Sunglasses After Dark", which is excellent. "In the Blood" is even better! Vampire and private eye team up when Sonja meets Palmer, a P.I. with "the sight". Love and partnership build, blossom, and morph into various flavors as the action relentlessly continues. With Palmers help, Sonja continues her hunt for her roots - the vampire who callously created her, and her human parents as well.

A great vampire book, with a flavor all its own.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is one book where you find it hard to put it down., September 28, 1998

The chemistry behind the two main characters Palmer and Sonja Blue is incredible. Both characters help each other get through their personal pain while going on a joyride through hell and back. This book is definitely a page turner for Sonja Blue fans.

Supernatural team-up.

When you have a psychic detective vampire slayer, what else would happen? Team-up, sure, nookie too if they happen to be of the appropriate flavour for each other.

With a boyfriend around Sonja is not quite as nasty and unstable, and the search for monsters, especially the vampire that tortured her to start with, and her own parents continues.
