Eternal Blood

An Original Mark of the Vampire Novella Gray Donahue is crippled by the guilt he feels for his father's death. An Impure vampire cursed with the ability to hear the thoughts of others, he indulges in blood and sex to stave off the pain of his existence. He is then abducted by the Eternal Order of Vampires, who subject him to a nightmarish ritual. But when he is rescued by the icy pureblood vampire Dillon, he finds something that is worth living for, dying for, killing for.... "An addictive new series."-New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh Includes a teaser chapter from the latest Mark of the Vampire novel, Eternal Captive, and a letter from the author.

I’m going to try to keep this review short because this ebook was not very long. Eternal Blood is a quick ebook to read in between Eternal Kiss and Eternal Captive. It includes Gray Donahue and Dillon. If you are like me, you have been fascinated with getting to know Gray since he was introduced in the first book due to his sister. I loved that Laura Wright wrote a short story before writing his full-length novel later in the series. This ebook touches base on what happened to Gray in the previous book and what he deals with internally and externally. Poor Gray hears everyone’s internal thoughts, and in this book, he discovers the truth about how the Purebloods treat impures. He also finds out the truth about his family and what really happened to his father. I’m starting to question the Order even further after reading this novella. 

Overall, since this was a quick read, I give it 3.5 stars. It left me wanting more of Gray and Dillon’s story. There is much sexual tension between Gray and Dillon, but they both will deny it, especially Dillon. I can’t wait to re-read their story. It’s been so long that I don’t really remember it.

Cliffhanger: Yes.

Would I recommend this ebook? Yes. I recommend it if you’ve read the previous books in the Mark of the Vampire series.

Owner/Reviewer at A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog

I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
