Blood Orange by Karina Halle
4.0
Karina Halle's words vibrated off each page as I devoured this book. This is my first read from Karina and I was so eager to read this one, not only for the blurb, but I've heard so many good things about her work. This is not your typical vampire story, but it's also not your typical Dracula story.
Readers are introduced to Dahlia and Val, interconnected souls destined to be together over spans of time. We are first introduced to other heartbreak as Val's first love is literally killed before his very eyes, raging the vampire blood, heating his insides as he transforms into a blood-thirsty killer. Val continues life through the shadows but soon learns to embrace his humanity, taking up the mantle of a music professor at the local university in Venice, Italy. In comes Dahlia, a witch assigned to hunt and kill Val. But once they meet, the sparks fly as heated passion blazes between them. The spice between these two is off the charts. I will never look at a cello bow the same way again!
I was so hooked to this story and once it ended I was so mad, not realizing a cliffhanger ending was in sight. Talk about torture!! I am eagerly waiting for the next part, Black Rose. December cannot come soon enough!
