…Cherie Priest introduced vampire thief Raylene Pendle in Bloodshot, along with Raylene’s charges, two street kids who were squatting in one of her warehouses; and Ian, a vampire who has been mysteriously blinded and can control the weather. We also met Raylene’s new sometimes-partner Adrian, an ex-Navy SEAL who is also a drag queen. Adrian/Sister Rose is one of the best urban fantasy sidekicks around. He’s tough, badass and really knows how to accessorize. This time, he’s willing to help Raylene because she might help him find his vampire sister… tiresome vampire politics and jockeying for influence reminds me too much of True Blood, but Hellbent was still an invigorating read with laugh-out-loud moments, and, at the end of the day, any urban fantasy heroine with a partner who can set a C4 charge, scale a building, and help her with her make-up is okay in my book. Read the rest.
