BLOOD BORN by Linda Jones

"Giving the vampire myth a modern twist has good battling evil for supremacy."

By: Linda Jones

Genres: Romance Paranormal

Posted: July 15, 2010

A battle is brewing on Earth, a battle humans are ill- equipped for, a battle waged by immortals for supremacy. But not all immortals are against the humans, some fight on the side of the Warriors in order to preserve humanity.

Luca Ambrus is unwillingly drawn into this battle. A powerful agent of the Council, the body that governs vampire-kind, he prefers the solitude of the world he has created for himself. But when a friend is brutally murdered under the noses of the Council, and it comes to light that human conduits, those who can connect to the spirit warriors who will protect mankind, are being murdered, Luca can no longer remain uninvolved. Chloe Fallon is a conduit targeted by the vampire assassins, and when Luca saves her life, they are bonded, ready to fight the battle to preserve humankind and the world as we know it.

Linda Howard and Linda Jones have created a fascinating paranormal world in BLOOD BORN. Taking the vampire mythology and giving it a modern twist, they've put together a battle for supremacy between good and evil, human and vampire. Initially, I was skeptical of the whole idea of another author (or two) jumping on the vampire bandwagon, and I only picked this up because I'm a long- time fan of Ms. Howard. I was immediately drawn into this amazing world of witches and warriors, humans and vampires and the struggle for survival by all. Luca and Chloe are fierce and powerful, reluctant heroes. I was engaged in this world from page one and look forward to the continuation of the saga and learning more about Nevada and Sorin!

Book Summary

When the human and the vampire worlds collide, there will be hell to pay.

Luca Ambrus is a rare breed: vampire from birth, begotten by vampire parents, blood born. He is also an agent of the Council--the centuries-old cabal that governs vampirekind, preserving their secrecy and destroying those who betray them.

When a cryptic summons leads him to the scene of the brutal killing of a powerful Council member, Luca begins the hunt for an assassin among his own people. But instead of a lone killer he discovers a sinister conspiracy of rogue vampires bent on subjugating the mortal world.

All that stands in their way are the conduits, humans able to channel spirit warriors into the physical world to protect mankind. Chloe Fallon is a conduit--and a target of the vampire assassin who's killing them. When Luca saves her life, an irresistible bond of trust--along with more passionate feelings--is forged between them. As more victims fall, Chloe and Luca have only...
