Okay, so I received this book as a goodreads first read winner back when I was pregnant and didn't have a chance to read it until just now. I'm glad I finally did!I thought the pace and format of the story was very interesting. I liked the strategic jumps in time-line and point of view. The narrat...

Zach Barrows never expected his government job description to include a briefing manual with the code name “Nightmare Pet”. One hundred and forty years ago Nathaniel Cade was just “turned” when authorities found him feeding on shipmates. When he awoke he found himself in a cell with the president ...

When I heard of the concept for this novel, I was immediately intrigued. A vampire who has given an oath to protect the president of the United States – cool idea. When a vampire protecting the president is the most believable aspect of this story, you have a hot mess on your hands. Where do I st...

With all the fluff, cutesy, sweet romance vampires out there it's nice to see authors like Christopher Farnsworth writing a vampire novel you can really sink your teeth into.

What if the terrorists can use dark magic to...

It read like a script, quick action.....a bit like Da Vinci code style. It was effective narrative if not overly elaborate. The biggest problem was that Cade wasn't believable as a vampire. Oh, he was deadly to be sure...just silently threatening. Despite my ranting I could not put the book down and...

Engaging and exciting, this political thriller / hardcore horror / espionage story is one of the most pleasant reading surprises I've had in a long time. Characters who don't act predictably, a refreshing twist on vampire mythology, plenty of dirty political tricks, some not-so-thinly-veiled jabs at...

I literally had to force myself to stop reading at 3 AM. It was gripping right from the start.The quickly alternating POV and short chapters make it really easy to get drawn into the book and you don't even notice it.The background information in the beginning of most chapters are interesting, Cane'...

Put aside the notions of vampires, Indiana Jones adventure tales, and Dan Brown style conspiracy thrillers. No matter that Blood Oath stirs up all three in a satisfying summer read. This is a moral tale whose moral should be taken very seriously by all aspiring political types.The Moral?Never sleep ...
