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.
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...
