"Complex, highly sensual tale about werewolves is part thriller, part romance"

Fresh Fiction Review

Bad Blood
L.A. Banks

Reviewed by Patricia Woodside

Romance Paranormal

BAD BLOOD by L.A. Banks launches the Crimson Moon series, where Ms. Banks focuses her expert storytelling skills on werewolves. In this first story, Sasha Trudeau is a member of a unique Special Ops team charged with keeping the human community unaware of the werewolf community by taking down the demon-infected wolves that would threaten humanity. When she returns from her most recent mission, she discovers that all of the members of her elite fighting team are either dead or missing, and she's determined to find out why.

Ms. Banks gives a thrilling tale that is part thriller and part romance wrapped up in an entrancing paranormal bow. I was immediately taken with the complexity of the story and with the masterful, highly sensual yet hardly explicit love scenes. Like a movie that you get something different from each time you watch it, I could easily read this story again and again, discovering some new layer each time. I'm not a big paranormal fan but BAD BLOOD is a captivating good-vs-evil story. I will anxiously await the next installment of this series.

SUMMARY

Sasha Trudeau knows all about working beneath the shadows, back-alley deals, and things that go bump in the night. She also knows that the world is unaware of the existence of the paranormal—and that the government would like to keep it that way.

As a highly trained Special Ops soldier, Sasha and her team are an elite group of individuals who are survivors of werewolf attacks, now trained to be loyal to only to each other and their government. But when she returns from a solo mission, she finds that her team has mysteriously gone missing. Shocking government conspiracies, double-dealing vampires, and a host of stunning revelations about who—and what—she really is are only just the beginning...
