Romance Paranormal

Knox Deveraux, vampire leader of an otherborn clan, believes in love and mates but because his people are dying he must marry another vampire. After the civil war between other and human, human blood was made to be poison for the vamps. The woman Knox loves and who happens to be his mate works for the FBI. For years Felicia Locke has resisted her feelings for Knox, now that his vampire wife is dead Knox refuses to leave Felicia alone. For too many years they have ignored the fire which blazes between them whenever they near one another. Felicia has been able to hold onto her values because Knox wouldn't push her, all that has changed and he's coming at her with all that he has. It does not help that Felicia's boss has put together a special team consisting of humans and others and Knox is their leader. Knox agreed to accept this job because of the promise of an antidote which can save his people and his other condition was that Felicia becomes a part of the team. Felicia knows what this antidote can do for the vampires so she accepts the assignment despite knowing that Knox is planning an all out war on her senses.

A compelling story with a fresh take on vampires and other paranormal groups. I found CHOSEN BY BLOOD to have brought something new and different to the vampire genre. Ms. DePaul creates a fascinating tale filled with hot sensuality and a cast of diverse characters. While I enjoyed CHOSEN BY BLOOD, the building of this otherworld made the story drag in places although I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

SUMMARY

United by fate. Bound by desire.

Five years after the Second Civil War ends, humans and otherborn— humanlike creatures with superhuman DNA—still struggle for peace. To ensure the continued rights of both, the FBI forms a Para-Ops team with a unique set of skills.

Leader of an Otherborn clan, half-breed vampire Knox Devereaux would do anything to find a cure for the anti- vamp vaccine slowly starving his people into extinction. When the FBI contacts him about leading a team of hand- selected Others on a mission to reclaim the stolen antidote, Knox accepts. His new assignment places him in direct contact with Special Agent Felicia Locke, the beautiful human he’s craved since their very first meeting.
