First Sentence: I drew in a ragged breath and tried hard to surface from one hell of a nightmare.
Full Blooded
Jessica McClain is just the type of urban fantasy heroine I like. Kick-ass, self-confident, curvy, with a little bit of of snark and sass. Jessica is not afraid to go and take a world on her own and usually goes head on to resolve problems. Her honesty and bluntness was refreshing.
The only thing about Jessica that bugged me was that her wolf was a separate entity. Kinda like two minds in one body. And the wolf is much sluttier than Jessica - with some of her prancing and other comments there were a couple of uncomfortable flashbacks to inner goddess from Fifty Shades of Grey
Werewolfs are not the only supernatural creatures you will encounter in Full Blooded
With constant chase and action there is not much time left for love. Although some one-night-stand type sex to lower the adrenaline will happen, Jessica will not meet her love interest for half a book, maybe more. Because of the constant tension and how everything quickly happens there is a slight insta-love feel for it, but surprisingly it didn't bother me. It's easy for wolves when they can with one sniff determine if someone is right for them. :)
In The End...

Full Blooded sounds like a great new urban fantasy. I like my heroines with sass and spunk too. I haven't read an adult/urban novel for some time now, this one might be just what I need. :) Thanks for the great review and comment on my review Taken!
ReplyDeleteFull blooded was definitely fun and fast read. I think I read it in a day. Always intrigued to find out what happens next. If you read it, I hope you will enjoy it too.
DeleteHuh, usually the wolf and character are aware of each other and the character has control...this sounds interesting, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThey are aware of each other and talking to each other, but they are separate. Narration goes kinda: My wolf smirked while I was trying to understand what is happening... I totally improvised here it's not an actual quote, but I hope you get a better picture. :)
DeleteReally the only other time I saw something similar was in Fifty Shades of Grey (if you read it) when she talks about her inner goddess...
Yay, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Wait until you read Hot Blooded, it was even better :) I can't wait for the next book!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read Hot Blooded. More Rourke. Yummy! :D the I will be waiting eagerly for October like you. :)
DeleteCan I spoil you a little bit? Don't hope for more Rourke in Hot Blooded, he's not that present :( but that will change in book 3 hopefully :) But, still, it's actually quite awesome, and I think you'll love it as much as I did :)
DeleteHe was not much present in Full Blooded too. I don't mind, I mean I would love to have more romance but I like action and mystery in this series so I am not complaining. :) I hope so I like it too.
