For the Blood by Debbie CassidyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Excellent Dystopian Novel
One of the things I love about Debbie Cassidy (and it’s got to be one of the lowest items on this list) is that she is from the UK. She sets her books in this country and that means the frames of reference are easily recognisable to me. For instance, they refer to travelling to Bristol, somewhere I’ve visited several times. It’s a small thing, but it makes me happy.
This book is about Eva a young women who is travelling with her childhood friend Tobias to find a place called Haven. She grew up in a compound with her father and when their home was overrun, they started out for Haven. They had to live in a compound because 3 decades ago, after the supernatural came out to humanity as a whole there was a virus. It not only affected humans, but also the supernatural, in particular vampires and werewolves. They became feral, known as Fangs and Claws and they did the most damage to the human population.
So much happens in this book it’s hard to give information about the book without revealing too much. Basically Eva is a highly trained fighter who has been taught by her father to be ruthless in order to survive in a tough world. Her friend Tobias is a much gentler soul. I really like that Tobias is the softer of the two with the kind nature and that Eva is tough, relentless and ruthless. She is the action star and he is the sidekick.
There is a lot of action contained within the plot, so if you don’t like lots of sword fights, this might not be the book for you. It’s pretty gory in places.
I can’t wait to see what happens next, because this shows great signs of becoming even more interesting.
