Vampire Giveaway – Freeblood or Fastblood?

Posted on February 25, 2013 by fundinmental

Giveaway and Review of Freeblood by Marny Copal

There is plenty of blood, guts and gore for all of you gruesome horror lovers.

What does it take to kill a vampire? Are the stories you’ve heard really true?

Freeblood

Freebloods – drink from the same vampire no more than twice and have powers.

Fastbloods – drank more than two times and are bound to the vampire they fed from.

Kasey asked Quinn, her cousin. about the cell phone she had found. She played the message back and it was Jo Jo telling Quinn that they captured something on the recorder they had hidden in the Portland Underground. They were hoping to find some paranormal activity.

They went to meet her, and saw her snatched right in front of them. Quinn fought hard and did some damage, but she was outnumbered and they had powers too. Kasey wanted to call the police, but Quinn said no. The kidnappers were not human, they were vassals, someone that vampires feed on. The police would be useless against them.

Quinn had found out about the supernatural when her mother and brother were killed, but Kasey was unaware of any of the details.

Kasey convinced Quinn to let her help. She was very good at manipulating people, when she wanted something. They were going to Confluence, a club where the supernatural hang out. Quinn knew a vampire there who might be able to help.

She ran into William Kiigemagi, a warlock she had made an enemy of some time ago. Quinn sensed that he knew something of Jo Jo’s kidnapping, which was bad news for Jo Jo.

Del was there too. He said that he wanted to help, but she didn’t want his help. Nate ran the club and it was his help she wanted. Nate told Quinn to leave it alone, that the Portland Vampire Council would handle it. She talked him into helping anyway. He had helped her before and he required his usual payment. The name he gave her was a human name, Tyler Anderson.

Nate was going to keep his eye on her, whether she liked it or not. He had a soft spot in his non-beating heart for her. She had feelings for him too, but he was a vampire and she was a human, albeit, with special powers.

Del followed her home. He had feelings for her, whether she wanted to acknowledge them or not. He told her he was in town, because magic was being used and the Order had sent him there to investigate. The Order was a secret group that studied paranormal activity that was above and beyond the norm. They were the police, judge and jury of the supernatural in the northwest United States. Nate had told her to keep them out of it, but she couldn’t leave it alone. She needed Del’s help.

He told her how careless she was. That he thought she had learned more at the Academy.

Kasey asked what Academy? Quinn would be forced to tell her everything.

What was going on and who was behind it? It had become obvious that they would stop at nothing to make it happen, so it had to be something really big. What price would be paid to prevent it and rescue Jo Jo?

Animated Animals. Pictures, Images and Photos 4 STARS – Would Highly Recommend To Others

Quirky cover, but I like it. The title becomes apparent, almost as soon as you start reading the book.

The book is well written, easy to read and flows well.The plot is well-developed and will keep you guessing as to what comes next. It included things I have not seen in other vampire books, and that always counts as a huge plus to me.

Action packed from beginning to end. I could visualize the scenes playing out in my mind, because of watching Supernatural and Charmed on television. They are TV programs that deal with every kind of supernatural being you can think of, for those of you who have not heard of them.

When she talked about divining crystals, I immediately thought of Charmed. On Charmed, they use a crystal and map to locate people, they call it scrying.

Quinn is a kick ass and take names kind of character. She felt that, no matter what, she could and would do whatever was necessary to save her best friend. I am especially drawn to books where the lead character is a strong female. I rooted for Quinn, even though I felt she had one major character flaw, she………

Kasey was a hoot. I can just imagine what it would be like to be around her. She won me over big time. She is manipulative and persuasive, wheedling her way into things that are bound to get her into trouble. She is full of life and afraid of nothing. When she wanted something, she wouldn’t take no for an answer.

It is not always easy to choose which characters you will root for and which you hope get their comeuppance. Can a vampire be a nice guy?

I’m not sure how I felt about the ending. I sure didn’t see it happening the way it did. I felt sad for Quinn. She suffered such pain and loss, that you cannot help but feel her anguish.

Nate or Del? I am curious to see who she will end up with. I will be patiently (lol) awaiting the next book. Marny Copal is working on Book II.

I received this book from the author in return for an honest and unbiased review.

  I know. I seem to always be drawn to the bad boy, but he’s not a keeper. LOL Does add a little spice to life, though. ^_^

sounds like a new type of vampire story!
- Sherry on February 26, 2013 at 6:55 am said:
  
  It was for me and I loved it. I am always looking for something that is a little bit different.
Cassandra Loskot on February 26, 2013 at 5:10 pm said:

Ooo that is a tough question because I love the bad boy, but sometimes the clean cut good guy is more passionate and ‘bad’ in private. I’d take whoever is more passionate 🙂

Book sounds like it will be a great read 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win, I love free books 🙂

In my younger days I’d go for the bad boy. Now I know better, I think. lol
Great review Sherry. I liked your perspective.
Not entering the giveaway as I have the book.
Good luck!

  I don’t know why so many of us are drawn to the bad boy, even when we know it is not good for us. lol Thanks for commenting Laura.
Denise Z on February 27, 2013 at 3:37 am said:

I would choose the good guy with the little devil glint in his eye 😉 Freeblood looks like fun, thank you for sharing with us.

  I love your comment. It is always nice to start the morning with a chuckle. lol
Pragya on February 28, 2013 at 1:41 pm said:

Sigh, so difficult to choose. Can’t I have both? Umm, maybe I will marry the good one and have an affair with the bad. Oops, did I just say that? *hides*

  I heard it and agree with you. LOL
  - Pragya on February 28, 2013 at 3:25 pm said:
    
    lol. You agree? *wink wink*
  - Sherry on February 28, 2013 at 3:30 pm said:
    
    The best of both worlds. Take a little walk on the wild side.lol
flmabon on February 28, 2013 at 3:43 pm said:

Sooo hard to choose! I guess bad boy. For instance love Damon but also like Stephan characters * but both can be good and bad *
- Sherry on February 28, 2013 at 4:03 pm said:
  
  I know what you mean. There’s just something about the bad boy. But I don’t know if I could take it every day. lol
Lily on March 7, 2013 at 9:54 pm said:

OMG Sherry….
Could you think of a harder question to ask?
Logically the good guy represents security, loyalty, respect and everything your momma wants to see in a boy you bring home….. But the bad boys…. they are soooooo sexy, impulsive, reckless, full of promises of adventure. AHHHHH how do you decide???
Lily
- Sherry on March 7, 2013 at 10:10 pm said:
  
  LOL. I thought it was a pretty good question too. I am torn. I don’t know how you decide. The bad boy sure has a strong pull on me, but is he a keeper???? The good guy will treat you right, but will he bore you to death???? HMMMMMM
Ebony Morton on March 7, 2013 at 10:14 pm said:

The clean cut guy. The bad boy has lost his appeal. 🙂
- Sherry on March 7, 2013 at 10:18 pm said:
  
  That’s what my honey is. The good guy. I had a bad guy the first time around. I learned my lesson, even though…. ^_^
jaxgrampy on March 7, 2013 at 11:53 pm said:

Well, personally, I wouldn’t choose a guy at all. But I’m beginning to see where I might have gone wrong in High School… too “clean cut”!
- Sherry on March 8, 2013 at 12:02 am said:
  
  LOL. Uh – oh. I forgot about you guys. Okay – tell me – would you want the mean tempered, cuss like a sailor challenge – or would you want the demure, sweet, honey what can I do for you woman?
  - jaxgrampy on March 12, 2013 at 12:20 am said:
    
    Can’t I have something in between? Neither of those sounds like a “partner”, and that’s what I always wanted (and have). Sorry to be so boring! Although, now that I think about it, I DID date a “cuss like a sailor” type once upon a time many moons ago, but after she hollered a racially derogatory slur to a friend of mine, out the window of MY moving car (for absolutely no reason other than she was a jackass), I dropped her like the sack of shinola she was. I threatened to turn around so she could apologize to the guy, but I didn’t trust her enough not to make things worse. Still, it was fun to see the spark of fear in her eyes for just a second there, when I told her I was turning around! 😉
    - Sherry on March 12, 2013 at 8:31 am said:
      
      lol You never fail to make me laugh. You can have whatever type you want. I just like to hear you talk. ^_^
  - fuonlyknew on March 12, 2013 at 12:26 am said:
    
    Sounds like Jax has a little bit of bad boy in him:)
    - Sherry on March 12, 2013 at 8:31 am said:
      
      I know what you mean. lol
Kellie Hirtle Harrington on March 8, 2013 at 12:04 am said:

Id pick the bad boy!!!! They are more fun! Kelleeh.73@gmail.com
- Sherry on March 8, 2013 at 12:26 am said:
  
  It sure wouldn’t be dull.
Marianne Houghtaling on March 8, 2013 at 3:08 am said:

Already had more than my share of bad boys, give me the clean cut type like the guy I married!
- Sherry on March 8, 2013 at 12:58 pm said:
  
  I got me one too. ^_^
crystalg78 on March 9, 2013 at 7:14 pm said:

I would choose the bad boy =) They always keep things interesting although not too bad of a boy!

  That is so true.
Beth Hoover on March 10, 2013 at 1:56 am said:

Clean cut for me, no more bad boys
- Sherry on March 10, 2013 at 3:23 am said:
  
  Me too. My hubby is a good guy. But I still find those bad boys catching my eye now and then.
Susan on March 12, 2013 at 12:56 am said:

Though I know the bad boy is usually the bad choice, it’s who I seem to always choose.
- Sherry on March 12, 2013 at 8:32 am said:
  
  There’s just something about us being drawn to them. I guess maybe because they are never dull.
