Bad Blood by Nikki Jefford

Bad Blood (Aurora Sky Vampire Hunter, #3)

by Nikki Jefford

A hunter in love with his partner. A vampire who can't stay away. A secret that changes everything.

I thought I could escape the past, but now it's time to face the music--and the mess I left behind. Apparently I'm a disaster magnet.

Naturally, Melcher's waiting with a new assignment that he swears won't interfere with college classes. Why don't I believe him? He could have at least warned me about my new roommate. Hell to the No! And guess which fanged fiend shows up at my doorstep? If only vamps required permission to enter.

Also, it turns out text flirting while at boot camp has consequences. I must have been in the desert too long because suddenly my goofy mentor looks like a bronzed Titan god with lips that could divide and conquer.

College is starting, and so is my undercover assignment at a network of swanky parties known as "Tastings" for high rolling vamps who like their blood laced with fine wine.

I'm not the only one on the prowl. An underground investigation is underway to find out who killed one of Anchorage’s most prominent vampires. Guess who is the prime suspect?

That's just the beginning. Things are about to get really messy with a side helping of messed up!

Arm yourself, pucker up, and prepare to go head-to-head with baddies who bite, roomies who don't respect boundaries, and hotties who never give up.

*Recommended for mature YA and up.

I’m glad to be back with Aurora in Bad Blood. Not that it wasn’t great that Nikki Jefford decide to write from the point of view of other characters. Which I highly recommend reading. The more this series develops the more interesting and unique the plot becomes. I really love this series.

So Aurora is a bit different in this book. She has kind of got herself in a funk. She is renewed a bit from boot camp but she has many things weighing on her. She’s not a natural born hunter and I think her moral code is something that really is a driving force for her. The fact that she often has to break that has been bringing her down. As the story progresses though we see her kind of find her way out fo that and by the end of the book she is the Aurora I know and love.

Nikki has a great cast of characters in her series. They are so well developed and different. I love how they stay in character no matter the situation. Do Aurora and Valerie get along better now, well ya but the characters still stay true to themselves. Valerie still does ridiculous things and Aurora still thinks she does ridiculous things. Noel was more in the background, especially with the falling out that Aurora and her had. Fane is still Fane. You can’t not love Fane, I’m sorry Dante I’m just not that into you but we can be friends.

Wow so talk about a three shades of crazy ending going on with this book. I would say around 80%ish stuff really hits the fan and I kept going what. What! This is nuts, wait I want to punch that guy. Wait what? It was really good. I couldn’t put it down, it’s one of those things that you can’t read fast enough. The thing that I love about this series is that it has never suffered from a slump. There is always something new and something interesting going on. Some kind of development that makes things keep moving along. You don’t feel like the series needs to wrap in any particular number of books. Especially with the novellas that are from different characters points of views.

Bad Blood was another great addition to this series and I’m still wondering if since I’m AB negative and have a chronic disease that maybe I myself am a Vampire. People do make fun of the fact of how young I look...hmmm.
