Now, for my Review and Giveaway of
Vampire Blood by Kathryn Meyer Griffith
First off, let me tell you. Don’t ask questions, JUST DO WHAT I TELL YOU!
Go HERE and find the awesomesauce story of how Kathryn Meyer Griffith’s new author revised edition of Vampire Blood came to be in your hands.
Could there be a Dean Koontz sighting?
Michelson thought he had found a home.
But Irene had been a bad vampire, leaving six mutilated victims to be found.
Now they were running again.
They were going back to Summer Haven.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vampire Blood starts with mutilated bodies and ends with a………..Bite.
I had read Human No Longer and loved the book and Jenny. Kathryn Meyer Griffith told me she had written a prequel to Human No Longer and I was curious to see how and why Jenny came to be Jenny.
Vampire Blood tells the story of the theater and how it changed Jenny and Joey’s lives forever.
Rumors and mystery had surrounded the theater. The townspeople always thought it was haunted. Oh no, it was much worse than that.
Jenny is the main character and I loved her. She had courage, with a capital C. Courage means that you face your fears, you do what must be done no matter how terrified you are.
This was the first time Jenny had ever lived alone. She felt it was time to find herself. She was afraid of the dark. Sounds funny, because she wrote horror novels, Vampire novels to be specific. Just because she wrote about Vampires, didn’t mean she believed they were real. It was fiction.

Until the mutilated bodies were found.
Who would have thought it was all true?
I felt so sad for Joey and that surprised me. I did not feel that way when I read Human No Longer, but when I found out about his story, it may me want to wrap my arms around him and tell him it will be okay.
Vampires and shapeshifters. Some are so cruel and blood thirsty. They like playing with their food. Made me think of Orcas playing with seals. How terrifying can that be?
Others, like Michelson, just wanted to live and let live. Can a vampire have a heart?
A small town with lots of dead and mutilated bodies? My thought was – why weren’t they doing something sooner? I would have called in “Criminal Minds”.
Kathryn Meyer Griffith’s character and world building are not to be topped. Her writing flows smoothly and draws you deep into her stories.
5 STARS – Would Highly Recommend To Others
I received this book from the author in return for an honest and unbiased review.
