Bloodlust Blues

Urban Fantasy and supernatural book fans will enjoy Bloodlust Blues, the first book in a new series by Luanne Bennett! Bloodlust Blues is a fun, entertaining and over the top (in all the right ways) book full of interesting paranormal/supernatural characters. There is a lot of fun and menacing banter between them. I had a good time reading/listening to this book. I had both the kindle and audiobook versions of this book which made for an enjoyable reading experience. This book felt like a mash up of True Blood and Cheers! Humans, wolf, and vampire live together in the town of Crimson, Georgia. Make no mistake, Crimson is not Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, it’s darker and more dangerous. This is the world they live in, and I was happy to visit Crimson as a silent observer watching as the you-know-what hit the fan.

The Stag is a bar owned by Charley who happens to be a witch. Charley’s bar is welcome to everyone including humans, vampires, wolves. It’s popular, welcoming and has a back room where sales are made. Things take a turn when a new restaurant in town and a new vampire group/empire and their intentions are far from good.

As I mentioned, this book was fun, entertaining, and a nice change of pace from what I typically read. It also had just enough danger, tension, twists, and turns to keep me invested and wanting to know how things would end. I was rooting for Charley and her friends and booing and hissing the diabolical characters in this book.

This was my first book by Luanne Bennett, and I look forward to reading more of her books.
