***5 Stars***
I asked, begged, pleaded for MORE and I most definitely got it with this baby.
More of not only Lenore and Absolon, but Wolf, Amethyst, Ezra, Odin, Yvonne...and even some others that I may or may not have wanted more of, but still...this was what I needed and more.
I already loved and adored Lenore and Absolon, and that didn’t change one bit. In fact, I ended up loving and adoring them more because we get to experience how they navigate their new norm. Both of their lives have shifted sideways ~ especially Lenore’s ~ and I really enjoyed how they worked through it together and became stronger as individuals, but also as a couple.
This baby is filled with a bunch of twists and turns, some I figured out, some had me going WTF?!? And then there were a few moments of well, that was definitely eye opening...opening being the operative word...but in the end I thoroughly enjoyed getting a deeper look into this rich and dark world and all those that reside in it.
And as for their crew, and a few new faces, I loved getting to know them all better and am thrilled that there will be more to come because while many things were dealt with in the end, there is still so much more that is possible and I’m totally here for it!
Note: This cannot be read as a standalone. Black Sunshine must be read first.

From the fog-shrouded bay of San Francisco to the dark cobblestone streets of Helsinki and all the hidden places in-between, The Blood is Love takes the reader on a sensual and twisted journey deep into Lenore and Solon's lush vampire world in this thrilling sequel to Black Sunshine.
When Lenore Warwick turned twenty-one, she expected lots of bar-hopping, parties with friends, and the occasional hookup. What she got was the realization that she's both a witch and a vampire, and that there are things in this world that want her dead. Thank god she has her enigmatic vampire lover, Absolon Stavig, to help show her the ropes. But while Lenore struggles to fit into her new topsy turvy world, full of blood, sex, and magic, she also has to contend with her messy and complicated love for a vampire who isn't always what he seems.
To make matters worse, her real father, Jeremias, a powerful warlock from the dark side, has professed an interest in her, while Solon's father, the depraved vampire king Skarde, is intent on destroying everything she loves. When Solon and Lenore have to travel to Finland to work alongside Solon's charming and vicious brother, Kaleid, in an attempt to defeat Skarde once and for all, the two of them enter a bloody new world that neither of them are prepared for. Even if their love survives the carnage to come, the chances of them getting out of there alive are slim.
Good thing they like to take their chances.
