Bad Blood
I love the
book
L.A. Banks is by far my favorite writter. I can't wait for the next book in the series
Better than Damali???
I love LA Banks and think she gets away from the mushy stuff and writes about relationships as part of the plot. This new
book
/series is as good as if not better than Damali&Carlos. I recommend it to all LA Banks/women of the underworld e.t.c fans Cant wait for the next one
Strange bedfellows
Special Ops soldier, Sasha Trudeau is a part of a unique group of 'beings'; all soldiers for the U.S. government. At some point, they were bitten or scratched by werewolves, and contaminated with a werewolf virus. With that common bond, the team led by their Captain has always done assignments together. Sasha is a bit bemused when she is sent on a mission without them, but this is the military and orders are given and taken without question. So Sasha sets out to perform her duty; trying to contain the level of paranormal activity around the world. But, this assignment is becoming increasingly harder to control; werewolf DNA is the only DNA scientists think is capable of being fused with humans, which causes almost insurmountable risks.
The solo mission in Korea sets Sasha up for some personal drama, introduces her to a new breed of werewolf, and makes her question the authenticity of her pack family. When she returns home, she finds her Captain has turned, which forces her to change her loyalties and her mission. Her perception, of the people to whom she has given much credence, and whom she obeyed without a backwards glance, is being challenged. Sensing something akin to betrayal, bad
blood
is not only running through the team's veins, it's starting to claim Sasha's mind.
BAD BLOOD, the first of the
Crimson
Moon
Novels, focuses on werewolves, shadow wolves and the U.S. government Operatives. In Banks' indelible style, she manages to pull the readers into the story and let them share the 'run'. She gives the antagonist new powers and shares some almost believable myths, surrounding other-dimension phenomenon. As a confirmed reader of Banks, I've come to expect the thoroughness with which she writes. And while I felt a similarity between her werewolves and her vampires, from the Huntress series, it made me wonder if other-world creatures are as similar in nature as are humans; that was my take anyway... The characters bring the intrigue, mystery, and unabridged 'were-world' existence, to life and the ending will have readers hoping more is housed in another
book

Good solid start to a new series!
As a person who (very disappointedly I might add) was never able to get into Ms. Banks vampire series, when I saw this on the
book
shelves I had to try one more time and I am very glad I did. This was a much better read for me.
