Okay, I found this thing by accident in one of those bargain bins where you can get ... in one of the local book stores. It was a good bargain, I got a couple of crime novels in the deal.

However, it turns out that this was a worthwhile investment of my hard won cash (I'm a student, okay? Ever penny counts)

One of the few things that surprised me about this novel is that it was all in context. There wasn't an inexplicable sex-romp in the middle that had nothing to do with the plot (Richard Laymon is guilty of that). I liked the way that the story is divided in the beginning, but then is slowly worked together, tying into one plot in the end. It makes me wonder if there is a seqel in the works, if so -- when, if not -- why not?

I tend to be a collector of vampire fiction (Anne Rice, LKH, Brian Lumley, Wendy Haley, Nancy A Collins...just to name a few) and this one stands apart, both by the rich imagery without the long-winded descriptions and the immediate action. It also has a new and interesting take on the so-called 'undead' without losing the preternatural twist that I so love.

Two thumbs up.

I bought the book while waiting for a delayed flight and I have been in search of books by the author since. The book made vampires REAL, seemed like they are just around you! Can find no other vampire stories like this one!

Readers of vampire tales rejoice: the lookout for yet another unique take on the now so overblown genre is right here. SINS OF THE BLOOD is its name and the author spares no expenses in bringing you a strong and unique story of one protagonist self-discovery among bloodsuckers. Written by sci-fi queen Kristine Kathryn Rusch, SINS OF THE BLOOD deals with more than vampirism. Individuality, inner strength, love of oneself and others are few of the themes the author successfully interlaces in her fast-moving plot. Her characters are refreshingly fleshed out and her pen never looses focus. To make a long story short, SINS OF BLOOD is a keeper. It will even impress those who are less keen on the genre. So do yourself a favor: grab a copy of this lovable book ASAP and dig in (pun intended); you won't regret it.-----Martin Boucher
