Blood Law review

Blood Law was written by the author, Jeannie Holmes. This novel is in the supernatural crime genre. It was published in 2010. Blood Law is the first in the Alexandra Sabian series.

This novel has crime, has dark aspects, has the supernatural, has betrayal and has romance. The romance in the novel is between the main characters, Alexandra Sabian and Varik Baudelaire. Varik Baudelaire is Alex’s ex- fiancé and when he comes back into town old feelings spark up again.  Varik is made to be overprotective, way older than Alex, and handsome. Alex and Varik are both vampires and work as an enforcer. An enforcer is the equivalent of a police officer.  In the novel, vampires have, within the past fifty years, come out of the figurative closet.  At the end of the novel, they agree to give their relationship another shot.

This novel also comes with darkness and crime. The crime in the novel is from a series of dead vampires popping up in town. With an uneasy peace between the humans and vampires, these murders bring the tension between the two races to new heights. The humans almost forced the vampires out of town, which is just because these murders brought up their prejudice and fear of the vampires.  Alex is also haunted by the murder of her father many years prior. She begins to see connection between her current case and her father’s murder.   In the second novel, I believe the author will reveal more information about her father.  

Alex’s friend in the novel is Tasha. Tasha is the liaison between the vampire enforcers and the human police officers. Tasha is originally on the side of preserving the peace and of keeping the vampires in the city. Then with comments made by a police officer that is a public vampire hater, Tasha starts to gain a new view on vampires. This new view is about fear and distrust and causes Tasha to change evidence in the serial murder case.  This is the part of the novel about the betrayal.  This makes Tasha a very nice person to almost allow a murderer to almost kill again and get away with it (note the sarcasm).

This novel was personally not one of the better novels that I have read.  I did think that it was an okay novel. I would recommend this novel to those that like drama, romance, supernatural, and murder mysteries. Blood Law was entertaining.
