"This book has passion, love, danger, a need for protection. The plot is engaging, and well written. I enjoyed reading this book!!!!"
"Excellent vampire romance, complex characters and a plot that keeps you hooked. I will forever be a fan of Jade Christy, the word choices, the way the plot weaves, the build thru the series is just next level engaging."
"A vampire story worth reading. I have already finished the second book… and the only thing I can tell you is that I'm thirsting for the rest of the tale."

SOME VAMPIRES CRAVE BLOOD. HE CRAVES ABSOLUTION.
He’s a vampire who feeds from a priest and hides in a crypt, full of guilt.
She is a woman who lost everything — but refuses to lose herself.
In the mountains of Montenegro, Luka has spent fifty years punishing himself for a single, catastrophic mistake. He believes he is beyond redemption.
Then Claire, sheltering from a storm while hiking, walks into his darkness and sees him.
Not the monster.
Not the hunger.
But his soul.
Their connection is slow, intimate, and dangerously real.
“Blood & Guilt” is a deeply sensual, character-driven vampire romance about trust, confession, and daring to love when you believe you are unworthy of it. This is Book 1 of a four book series for fans of "A Discovery of Witches".

This is my first time coming across this writer's work. First of all, I want to mention the care she has taken to produce an error free book.
