Synopsis:

Aurora returns from boot camp to a new assignment, an unwelcome roommate, and the increasingly amorous attentions of a certain vampire hunter.

College is starting, and so is Aurora’s undercover work at a network of swanky parties known as “Tastings” for high rolling vampires who like their blood laced with fine wine. But Aurora’s not the only one on the prowl. An underground investigation is under way to find out who killed one of Anchorage’s most prominent vampires… and Aurora is a prime suspect.

***Don’t miss STAKEOUT, Vol. 2.5, a 54,000 word novella featuring Noel Harper and the entire Aurora Sky gang. Now available on Kindle, Nook, Kobo, & iTunes.***

My rating: ★★★★☆
Aurora is finally returning to Alaska after six long months in boot camp. She is properly trained and ready to kick vampire butt!

If you remember from Stakeout (if you read it), on their mission, Dante and Noel found out about this "Tastings" event where mortal women drink wine and then vampires suck their blood and they can taste the wine in their blood. Now, in Bad Blood it's up to Aurora and the gang to stop this crazy thing. But things wont go smoothly, of course. While this mission is ongoing, Aurora is also dealing with Noel and Fan's betrayal. Remember Northern Bites? Oh my gods! There is a perfectly plausible explanation for everything! Total plot twist, as I mentioned in Stakeout. If only Aurora would shut up for a second and let them explain things to her. But I get it, she feel betrayed and hurt. Her ex-boyfriend and best friend... yeah, that's gotta seriously suck (no pun intended ;)). Aurora doesn't want to see Noel's face, but it turns out that they're roommates! How crazy is that?

And then there's the thing with Dante... You all know I'm a Team Dante kind of girl, but when I say this I think I meant it as I wanted Dante for myself ;) This is what I mean: Aurora and Dante suddenly start this relationship that just didn't feel right to me. We know Dante had more than friendly feeling for Aurora, but Aurora didn't, not really. She liked him as a friend. Aurora and Fane just feel right (But I still love you, Dante)! And, well, I'm just not a fan of love triangles. I do feel that this one will turn out okay though.

Speaking of Dante, I LOVED him! He is just a fun, easy-going character that I adored since the first time he made an appearance! I honestly cannot get enough of him!! And Aurora's other lover boy, Fane... well, I have a confession to make: I am really starting to like him!! There was one moment in the book where he made me go "awwww!" I mean, it wasn't a full on swoon, but hey, it something! Over the last couple of books and novellas he really started growing on me when I saw how nice and what a sweetheart he can be. There, I said it... I LIKE FANE!

Also, lets not forget about that little something that happened in Northern Bites. Not only is Jared still out there somewhere, but Aurora and Valerie (who actually surprised me when I found myself sometimes liking her! She's still a bitch though) left... other things left undone that might come back for revenge.

Things go wrong, people are in danger, Melcher might be hiding something... it's up to Aurora and her friends to make things right.

I had my own plans to take them all out one by one until only the master remained, vulnerable and weak.

I didn't have my own army. I had something better. Friends. The kind that lasted forever. --Aurora

I really love this quote, especially because of the people she is talking about. It just moved me so much I had to take a moment...
