I just finished Reign of Blood, and let me tell you, it's VERY hard to put down!

Blurb:
"Never tease anything that wants to eat you. My name is April Tate and my blood is the new gold. Vampires and hybrids have overrun my world, once vibrant with life, but now a graveyard of death shrouded in shadows. I fight to survive; I fight for my mother and brother. The journey is full of turns that I am quite unprepared for. And I'm just hoping to make it to the next Vegas sunrise..."

In a post-apocalyptic world, a viral epidemic has wiped out most of the earth’s population, leaving behind few humans but untold numbers of mutated vampires. April is a seventeen-year-old girl who lives in the remains of Las Vegas one year after the outbreak. She has become a ferocious vampire killer and after her family is abducted, she goes searching for them. What she finds is a new breed of vampire, unlike any she has seen before. Unsure of whom she can trust, she discovers that her view of the world is not as black and white as she once thought, and she's willing to bend the rules to rescue her family. But in trying to save them, she may only succeed in bringing her fragile world crashing down around her.

My Review:
WOW! That's the one word that comes to mind as soon I finished this...and then...when the heck is the next one coming out?
Author Alexia Purdy took me on a wild and crazy ride, and the setting - Sin City... was perfect.
Like vampires? Not the glittery ones, but the creepy, horrifying ones? Well, I did. I don't want to give too much away, but I was captivated from the first page. I read until my eyes couldn't stay open, and then found times, during my busy day, to sneak away and read a chapter or two until it was done.
Reign of Blood was filled with everything a great book needs...Danger, suspense, horror, romance, mystery, and a girl who was not a wimpy girl, but a totally kick-a$$ heroine. I loved it, and can't wait for the next!!!

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your copy of Reign of Blood!!! You won't be disappointed!!! Click on the link below!!!
