Leela guessed how much time had passed, because it was high tide when she first wondered if that had been more than a kick. Even when under several meters of water, she sensed that the currents had died down and the pressure was low; signs that they were at slack tide. #AmEditing pic.twitter.com/B8xrQqkuIe

There was a song stuck in her head, one that featured the haunting voice of the woman who performed at the restaurant earlier. What a shame that she could not remember the singer’s name to find her music, and play the song over and over until excised from her mind.#AmEditing pic.twitter.com/gSf7Sy9j4J

Lately, I’ve not had much time for any light reading. So when my eyes fell upon the cover of Vienna Blood by K.C. Bloom, an erotica that features both lesbians and vampires, I found a reason to indulge.
I read The Taste of her Blood, the first book of the series, earlier this year and found it to be a delightful read. It reminded me of a dark fairytale that featured a bit of erotic heat to sell it.
Vienna Blood has a different feel to it, because the innocence expected of a fairytale’s main character slipped away with the first novel. Instead, the author changed the setting to a prominent European city filled with women and court intrigue. The characters adapt well to this new environment and are soon involved in a situation that is outside of their control. What happens next is exactly why this book is a must read.
K.C. Bloom is a wonderful storyteller, one who easily weaves action, intrigue and lust into a story that leaves you yearning for more. How fortunate for me, that there is a third book from the same vein that is calling out to me.
I found The Taste of Her Blood: A Lesbian Vampire Tale by K.C. Bloom to be precious little find. It reminded me of a classic fairy tale complete with foreboding forests, a hunter, brigands, and some sort of creature.
The similarities end there because the author turns this story on its head! I found the main characters to be believable and fleshed out. Their intimate interactions flow beautifully into the prose such that these scenes compliment the story.
I love the details that were specific to vampirism including the curse inflicted upon those who thirst for blood. I’ve never encountered that twist before and it provided a unique way to drive the story forward.
While a quick read, you’ll find yourself yearning for more. Fortunately, K.C. Bloom has written another story in the same vein!
Perhaps she’d like to borrow my Evelyn for some inspiration?
