L.A. Banks serving up werewolves in Bad Blood!

Sasha Trudeau is a Special Ops soldier. She and her elite team of soldiers are highly trained and unique to their unit because they are sole survivors of past werewolf attacks. While on a solo mission Sasha receives important Intel relevant to their war on infected werewolves. Upon her return home and subsequent interview with her commanding officer, Sasha discovers that her team members haven't reported in from their mission and are MIA. Max Hunter is a shadow clan wolf who is also tracking infected werewolves for another undercover group. While hunting an infected wolf Max meets soldier Trudeau under very intense circumstances. Max finds Sasha both feisty and attractive, its love at first sight. Now Max and Sasha along with other select members from both sides must work together to end this senseless war on their kind. Government political plots, conspiracy, double deals, betrayal murder and mayhem, are only the beginning to Crimson Moon Series. Crimson Moon is a fast-paced, action packed series, with so many new plot twists and turns you will need to buckle up for the ride. L.A. Banks hits us with another awesome paranormal series. Banks introduces her fans to a new group of kick butt soldiers, in a new style battle of good vs. evil.

Ms. Banks does it again!

Bad Blood, a new series by L.A. Banks, had a very unique take on the werewolf genre. We are introduced to three types of werewolves. There are Demon werewolves, Werewolves and Shadow Wolves. We are also introduced to Sasha Trudeau. Sasha is tough, independent and a fiercely loyal Special Ops soldier who survived a werewolf attack. She is part of a werewolf pack that fights and hunts Demon werewolves. Demon werewolves cannot control their wolf and consume human flesh. As always, Ms. Banks has such a fluid grace to her writing. She always pulls me in immediately. Her love scenes are beautiful, never vulgar, and always erotic. She introduced two very fine male characters, Shogun a werewolf and Max Hunter, a Shadow Wolf. I am eagerly anticipating how these two males will play a part in Sasha's life. In my opinion, if you like her Vampire Huntress series, you will love this new series as well. I look forward to reading the next book as soon as possible.

What a ride!

I have not read any of L. A. Banks book before, but after what I have read so far of Bad Blood - that situation is going to change! I had to take a short break from the book just to get the tension to ease out of my body and my breathe back. This book is just fantatstic! I have always loved wolves which is what attracted me to the book. Combined with Indian lore, vampires, suspense, action, mind blowing sex? This is a book that should be given more than 5 stars. I can't wait to get back to reading it - darn shame we have to stop and eat and do mundane ordinary things first! Thank you L. A. Banks for a so far enjoyable reading session. If your other books are as great as this one - you have gained another solid fan!

If you think L.A. Banks Vampire Hunter Legend Series (VHLS) is hot.....Bad Blood is smokin'!

Continuing to prove that she is a force to be reckoned with in the paranormal genre, L.A. Banks is the MOST talented writer of the 21st century! In her latest series, Crimson Moon, she has found (yet again) the perfect combination of intrigue, suspense, a great plot, a little sex, a lot of romance and great writing. Her latest series centers around werewolves, and trust me, what she does with vampires, she does even better with these newly evolved shapeshifters! Sasha Tradeau, a Special Ops soldier is mourning the disappearance of her pact, who was sent to another country to stop "evil" from spreading. With the turn of her pact leader, Rod, Sasha sets out to find out who wants her unit dead and what she "really is". Here enters the very sexy, Alpha Male of the Shadow Wolves, Max Hunter who believes that he is the future lover, protector and life mate to Sasha (although she is resistant to the whole lifemate concept). It also it seems that Hunter and Sasha are connected in ways neither of them could imagine. While the two of them dance around (he accepts it, she resists it) their attraction to each other, they attempt to unravel the secrets of the "highly evolved werewolves" (superhuman/werewolf hybrid soldiers) and who is behind their creation. And although there are several novels about werewolves out there, none compare to this rollercoaster ride of suspense. L.A. Banks has created the perfect story and weaves a tale of double dealing vampires, government experiments gone wrong, cover-ups, mystics, murders, shaman and some general bad guys. And the fight scenes aren't bad either! This was perhaps one of my favorite novels this year. It was a FABULOUS (I can't say that enough) read and I simply can't wait to read the next one!
