It is World War II. Because of the Blitz bombing campaign of Germany against England many London citizens have relocated into the small town of Brytewood. The Nazi's drop a new weapon to cause death and fear in their victims: vampires.

Doctor Alice Doyle is stretched thin, doing her best with limited resources. After rescuing a man near death and then having him vanish while in her care, the government in its tactless insensitivity appoints her a First Aid Assistant. It is Peter Watson, an ambulance attendant and a Conscientious Objector.

Gerhardt Eiche's vampire hunger and ego turns homicidal, strictly against the Nazi's directives. He orchestrates an accident for his human chaperone and spy for the Third Reicht. The fall causing her to be sent away from her charge and to the hospital.

Billeted with Sergeant Pendragon, Peter is instantly called into service when a bomb is dropped on the town. Two boys are trapped beneath the rubble. He's given sole credit for saving them and becomes the town's hero and the target for the rouge vampire who must find a new domicile after his is damaged in the bombing.

Dr. Doyle's instant attraction to her new assistant conflicts with her distaste, thinking he is a coward and unpatriotic when even her brothers are risking their lives. Her Gran says to look beyond the obvious and to trust her instincts given to her through her Pixie blood.

Peter learns his job. Not an easy task when he is irresistibly drawn to Alice. Even finding out that their attraction is mutual, to keep town gossip at bay they arrange to consummate their physical desires. With the excitement of love and the danger of emanate death, Alice going to need her entire Pixie heritage.

BLOODY GOOD by Georgia Evans is a romance with mystery elements and paranormal and fantasy characters. The writing is well done. I kept finding myself smiling by the colorful use of time period slang. Be prepared for a bit of the blarney. On the other hand, I felt the storyline was predictable. The characters and their actions were black or white, obvious good versus evil.

Book Summary

In the first of a trilogy of the supernatural battle for WWII, Dr. Alice Doyle finds the power to fight evil comes from places she'd never believe...

While the sounds of battle echo through the sky, a lady doctor has more than enough trouble to keep her busy even in a sleepy hamlet outside London. But the threat is nearer home than Alice knows. German agents have infiltrated her beloved countryside—Nazis who can fly, read minds, and live forever. They're not just fascists. They're vampires.

Alice has no time for fantasy, but when the corpses start appearing sucked dry, she'll have to accept help where she can get it. If that includes a lowly Conscientious Objector who says he's no coward though he refuses to fight, and her very own grandmother, a sane, sensible woman who insists that she's a Devonshire Pixie, so be it. Indeed, whatever it takes to defend home and country from an evil both ancient and terrifyingly modern...
