Cold Blooded by Amanda Carlson

5.0

Cold Blooded is the third book in the Jessica McClain series and it’s the best one yet! This book continues in the same vein as the first two – action packed and full of twists and turns and plot lines braided together in an ongoing, richly detailed tapestry.

Jessica McClain, only female werewolf in existence and reincarnation of something important as foretold by ancient prophecy, is targeted by supernatural sects who all want a piece of her power – and they’re willing to go through her friends and family to get it. In this installment of the series, we spend a lot of time with the Vampire Sect and their queen Eudoxia, whom seek to entrap Jessica through trickery while she’s trying to save her father. Witches, Sorcerers, Werewolves, and Underworld baddies all make important appearances. Alliances are struck across Sect lines and the supernatural world as they know it is thrown into turmoil and war.

My favorite part of this book was finally getting some interaction (and action) between Jessica and Rourke and seeing how well they play off each other. I wouldn't mind seeing more of them together in future books, but I doubt I will since romance plays second fiddle (or even last fiddle) to action in the series - completely understandable since these are urban fantasy books and not paranormal romance - still, a girl can dream.

As old plots thicken, new plot lines are added, and the stakes get higher and higher, this series just continues to get better and better. Can’t wait for the next one.

*I received a free ARC of this book to review.
