A Bargain of Blood and Gold by Kristin Jacques

5.0

Jonathan is a novice vampire hunter. As part of the conclusion to his training he is tasked with getting rid of the vampire in Cress Haven. Once he sees the body of the first victim though, he knows it's not a vampire he's hunting.

Jonathan teams up with locals Vic and Alyse to try to find out who, or what, is killing young girls. Will they find the answers they need before someone else dies?

As mentioned, there is some MM romance, but no steam, mostly just some kissing and s3xual tension. I wouldn't consider this romance as the plot takes precedence and the romance seems to be more of an add on. There is a lot of gore and death as well.

I enjoyed this book a lot. There was a lot going on and it was very fast paced. There were also a lot of twists that I didn't see coming.

There's some mystery mixed in with everything and the ending was something I didn't see coming. Because of the ending, I can't wait to read the next book, but it's not a huge cliffhanger.
