Book Review: Blood Legacy: The House of Alexander by Vicky London reviewer for Vampiregenre.com
Summary: 4 Stars
Blood Legacy is the follow up novel to The Story of Ryan. Ryan has been reunited with her father, Victor, and discovers that he has fallen prey to an unknown illness. Such an illness was thought impossible for their Kind as none of the eldest have ever died. Ryan calls on her human friend Dr. Susan Ryerson to unravel the mystery of his illness through Susan's knowledge of their unique anatomy. Meanwhile the Grand Council has been reconvened and they have chosen Ryan to conduct a Hunt. Not just any Hunt, this is a millennial purge to kill off the weaker offspring. Ryan must hunt and kill all of her kind that she can to strengthen the bloodlines.
Ryan begins to suspect that someone has betrayed her father and somehow infected him with the deadly illness. She will have to confront the most powerful of their Kind, including the darkly seductive Aeron who would like nothing better than to see her destroyed. Aeron is one scary guy who likes to seduce others of their Kind and consume their flesh. The other council members, Abigail and Marilyn, also want to possess her and set out to draw her in with their sensual charms. Ryan's vulnerability may turn out to be her greatest strength. As Ryan comes closer to the edge of death, giving in to her own desires may be the key to the survival of everyone she cares about.
This is another great book from Kerri Hawkins, her prose style brings the scenes to life with stunning visual imagery. Her vampires are a unique creation who insist that they are not vampires at all. They believe that vampire myth is actually based on their Kind. It will be interesting to see if Hawkins writes a book on Dr. Ryerson becoming one of their Kind. She also writes a comic book series called Blood Legacy that the novel is based on.
Summary of Blood Legacy: The House of Alexander
The sequel to the cult classic and fan favorite Blood Legacy: The Story of Ryan. The House of Alexander continues the story of the powerful and striking creature known as Ryan Alexander. Faced with temptation on an unimagined level, Ryan must deal with the political upheaval created by her mentor's sudden absence. Far younger than the Others who occupy the upper ranks of her Kind, Ryan must find the one who betrayed her mentor without falling prey to the seduction that stalks her every footstep. The House of Alexander continues in the Blood Legacy tradition by turning the legend of the vampire into something entirely new and creating an addictively compelling world.Literature & Fiction Books
