Blood Oath by Christopher Farnsworth
Ok, so who’s sick of the vampire books? I am!! But this one has s a whole new take and it works. The vampire part of the book is just an interesting side plot which adds to the main plot rather than takes away. It’s kind of a Tom Clancy type political thriller. Cade, the vampire, is a top-secret government agent who reports directly to the president. I can’t say much more about the plot without giving too much away, but basically there’s a plot against the White House (which involves more undead – a “biological weapon” as it’s called in the press release) and Cade is called in to fix things.
Maybe I’m just slightly giddy because this is the first free book I’ve received that I actually liked, but it was good! It was entertaining and exciting and intriguing. I also liked the way Farnsworth handled the vampire bit. I can’t help but compare him to the vampires in Twilight (I know, I know, not the same genre at all but still) and Cade is so much more likable and believable than Edward et al.
Anyway, if you like political thrillers you should definitely check this one out.
