Series Blood Coven 2

Two sisters—as different as the sun and the rain. For one, getting into the Blood Cover is to die for, but it seems destiny has something else in mind...

Rayne McDonald had it all figured out. Get turned into a vampire, become the mate of the Blood Coven leader, and live the high-life for all eternity. Too bad the head vamp took a bite out of her twin sister by mistake. Now, not only is Rayne still not a vampire, but she learns she's a slayer instead—destined to destroy vamps gone bad.

After being recruited by a secret organization, Rayne is given her first mission: infiltrate a seedy bar downtown and expose its vampire owner, Maverick, for purposely spreading a nasty blood virus. Luckily the Blood Coven sends some help—in the form of sexy vampire Jareth. Will vampire and slayer be able to settle their differences and work together to bring down the evil Maverick? Or will they find their own hearts on the line?


I picked this book up because Series

What I liked the Most? The blog style entries – it was different

What I liked the Least? I thought the teen speak would killed me – but I survived

Review: OMG – total LOL throughout this whole book. I mean yes it is a teen book and yes there is a lot of teen speak in it which can get really annoying, but it is seriously too funny for words. Where else can everything be “Buffy”ied and not sound like a clichĂ©.

As far as the story line – it’s a little predictable and a lot yeah whatever – but it’s still a good read. Rayne finds out she is the back up Vampire Slayer for Slayer Inc & then she’s paired up with tall, dark, and brooding to solve the mystery of the sick vamps. As the book blurb says “Will vampire and slayer be able to settle their differences and work together to bring down the evil Maverick? Or will they find their own hearts on the line?”

Recommended to: Anyone – can stand up on it’s on

Best Quote: "What are you going to do? Give the evil vampires splinters?"
