The recently released monsters, Civil and Red (those who feed on blood), are trying to figure out who is on what side, how they should create a society, and life in the aftermath of meeting their psychopathic creator. Mariah's powers, always different, have magnified because of her connection to their Origin, and her vampire lover, Gabriel, is coming to an age where his humanity will be gone---and he will not even care. To save themselves from the repercussions of a murder, Gabriel and Mariah both flee. What will they discover back in the Bloodlands?

The Bloodlands Trilogy is a great series. It has such a fantastic mix of horrific and dystopic elements, and the character development is fantastic. The latest installment, IN BLOOD WE TRUST, keeps up the excellent reputation the previous two books developed. Up until the very end, the reader will not be sure how the last page will pan out. A wonderful series for any reader who is willing to risk the Happy Ever After ending.
