blood unleashedWho is the real enemy?

Marcus Anderson, chemical weapons expert and CIA handler of assets like world famous Kate Lindenstream, finds vampires troubling. He’d rather have nothing to do with them, until the world-class sniper known only as The Whisper takes a shot at him…and misses. While Marcus’ supervisors wrangle over red tape, Marcus follows the trail back and meets Ilaria, a hot-tempered, diminutive, smoldering Italian beauty who captures his scarred and defensive heart.

Meanwhile, Cyneric Pæga’s radar is prickled by a trail of clues that he puts together to reveal that Ilaria Scarvo, a vampire assassin just like Rick once was, is in town. He doesn’t know who The Whisper’s target is but Nial, leader of the revolutionaries, is at the top of the list. Then Rick meets Ilaria and finds she’s not at all a cold-hearted killer. Ilaria is a wounded woman with a terrible secret that binds Rick to her.

Is Ilaria working for the League for Humanity, or the Pro Libertatus? Is she involved with Menes Heru’s plans to use the doomsday weapon, the Blood Stone? Or is she as innocent as both Marcus and Rick want desperately to believe?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Blood Unleashed is the third book in the Bloody Stone series by Tracy Cooper-Posey.  I would definitely recommend reading the entire series. Many of the characters are from the first and second book in the series.  Their stories are important background to how and why this story progresses as it does.  The author doesn’t depend on the reader having read the previous titles in the series and actually provides a listing of people, terms, and events at the beginning of the book to bring readers up to speed before beginning this book.  I really appreciated that because this story as are the previous two are complex with multiple facets to their stories. It’s a testament to the author’s skill that she is able to interweave their stories in such an entertaining way.

This is a bisexual mmf menage paranormal suspenseful romance.  Marcus, Ilaria, and Rick bring out the best and worst in each other.  I love how Marcus was so paranoid about vampires until….Ilaria came along.  Rick was a human…well not quite human(vampire)… machine until…Ilaria came along.  Ilaria is sexy, mysterious, and an accomplished assassin.  She manages to ensnare both men with her seductive allure in part one.  The menage comes into play in part two.  This is where the culmination of their combined romances and a powder keg of excitement and intrigue take the story to another level.

Make sure to save plenty of time for reading this one because you will want to savor every word and action.  Many of the conversations, actions, and activities foreshadow a coming event.  This book is about 436 pages.  However, the plot twists and glimpses of my favorite characters from the previous books provided more than enough entertainment to keep my attention.  I was delighted to learn that there is another book in the series, and I look forward to reading it.
