Review: Second Blood

Second Blood by Jacquelyn Faye
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So much to love about this book

This second book in a series is as good as the first, if not better because now we know the main characters a little more than we did in the first book.

The new First Moon Coven is getting established at vampires have come to ask for help. The vampires have been attacked by rogue witches who want to drain their blood for spells forbidden by the goddess. Dot jumps into helping them straight away, which causes problems in the coven. They all have to find a way to work together with a very different high priestess than they had before. Bill’s deceased wife was a very easy going and lacked the drive and determination that Dot has. It’s going to take a little getting used to.

This book sees the coven start to gain new allies, from back home in Asheville, so the human inhabitants of Cedar Falls. Dot is determined to protect her coven, the vampires and her new home town, no matter the cost.

This book really builds of the relationships between the coven members, not just between Dot and her two lovers, Bill and Jimmy, but also between Candace and Josie and how they relate to Dot. We also get to know a little about the other members of the coven. All the characters are well defined and developed and I know I’m going to enjoy seeing where everything goes in the future, especially with Jimmy’s kinky self letting fly! There are quite a lot of hot scenes in this book, but the plot is still very strong and along with the world building and character development drives the book along at a cracking rate.

A really enjoyable read, especially if you like a little heat with your urban fantasy!
