Lifeblood - Introduction and Chapter One

[kalinara]

So having finished with White Dragon, I decided that I really wanted a break from high fantasy for a while. Dragons and bards are fun and all, but sometimes it's fun to go for something different. And I mean, I'm still reviewing Drizzt and Mistwraith, so I'm not giving up high fantasy entirely.

I'll come back to Pern and the Chronicles of Cheysuli, of course. But right now, I need a palate cleanser so I'm going with a book that I hope to actually like! I liked the first book anyway.

So today, we're heading back to 1930's Chicago to see what Vampire Jack Fleming, Englishman Charles Escott, and the divine Ms. Bobbi Smythe have been up to since their run-in with the mob in Bloodlist.

Truth be told, I'm not sure what happens in this book. Vampire Files is one of those series that I remember binge reading once I managed to track them down, and because of that, it's hard to recall what events take place when. That might be good though, the less I remember, the less I can spoil ahead of time.

( I feel like I remember Jack going through a wringer, but really, when does he not? )
