Blood Divine
3,3 stars
I'm not a big fan of paranormal books. But sometimes I get attracted by positives reviews and an interesting blurb and sometimes I could be even convinced.

If you enjoy more blockbuster-like-action-packed PARANORMAL books with a nice low steamed romance (because it is not a main focus of the story-line, but still is an essential part of it), if you appreciate good dialogues with witty comments that can lighten up the mood, you should give this novel a try.
But even if it was entertaining and good written, I got a bit tired as the the story unfolded. Bad vampires, good vampires, ghosts, spirits, numerous creatures and characters that have been added to the plot with every new twist. At some point it became too much: too many characters, too many of a complicated family history, too many actions, too extended finale. Less is sometimes more.
I knew from the beginning, it would be a HEA, but the author managed to surprise me at the end.
It is a book I would rather WATCH than READ. It is focused primarily on the outer world, my favorite ones give more insights into the internal world of the characters.
I think that the book would have benefited from a bit less fighting scenes and a bit more steam/romance.
Still a good read.
P.S AND I like Randy! He was the best!
