Not only did Gabriel want to find Abby, the woman who'd run
from him, he wants to find solace from the crazy world.
However, with governmentally-trained agents called
Shredders seeking to kill all the preternaturals left in
the country, this lone vampire knows his possibility of
redemption or even a semblance of humanity is slim to none.
Injured by local hoodlums in the vast Western wasteland, he
is reluctantly taken in by Mariah, one of a small
underground community. He hopes the members will know
something about Abby, but they are more than normally
paranoid about outsiders. They're being harassed by someone
known as Stamp, a cold man who asserts that he just wants to
be good neighbors, even as his wild associates torment
everyone in their paths. Even though Chaplin, Mariah's Intel
dog,
vouches for Gabriel, he finds it difficult to chip away
their protective armor. Despite his attempts to stay aloof
from their troubles because of his determination to move on
once he discovers what happened to Abby, the frenzied
passion and fear boiling beneath Mariah's surface intrigues
him and draws him dangerously closer.
An excellent novel that touches on a dystopic potential
future, BLOODLANDS depicts the gritty nature of survival and
secrecy and sets fire to a fabulous new series.
It was called the New Badlands, home to the survivors of a
cataclysm that altered the entire nation. Then the vampires
arrived, and it was rechristened the Bloodlands. Not
because of the vampire, but because of the gun-for-hire
who'd decided to slay every monster in the country by any
and every means necessary.
