Blood: The Sanguine Prince

  Book Cover





When an innocent game of Goofy Golf the summer before starting college leaves Adrian a vampire, coming out to the world, the openly gay life he'd planned for himself crumbles into a terrifying and exhilarating four year cross-country road trip of sex, secrets, and survival. 

Closeted teen Adrian has looked forward to coming out in college all through high school. After throwing back a few illegal brews with his buds playing miniature golf, the party abruptly comes to a screaming end as his friends drive away. Compelled to follow the undeniably handsome stranger into the woods costs him the loss of his virginity - and life as he'd known it dreaming of how it was going to change for the better. 

The sun's rays beating down on his blood-drenched face next morning decidedly unbearable, Adrian finds himself hungering insatiably for anything with a pulse. Unwilling to make his parents or friends his next meal, Adrian flees the familiarity of family and home driven by a thirst only the hottest guys on college campuses nationwide could satisfy in a heated, sex-fueled, life-ending moment. 

Thinking himself the only creature of his kind, alone in the world, performing at a poetry slam proves him wrong - dead wrong. Enter another, Sir Charles, a dapper little English nobleman, a grandfather-like figure, his gentle friend and sweet savior with horrors unimaginable awaiting his naivety just around the corner. 

Thrust into a game of deadly statesmanship and undead intrigue, hesitant Adrian must find his footing as the untested Dorian Prince. Others of his kind fearing he is the ancient prophecy made flesh want him dead at any cost, even if it means killing everything he's come to love in his second attempt at life. 

Originally envisioned as a screenplay, Blood: The Sanguine Prince is Steve's debut novel for publication. It's the perfect movie buff's read for fans of vampire or fantasy romance.

Review


The importance of family cannot be overemphasized. Most people can go to any length, even in the face of deadly odds, to protect their families. 
Taj's Sabbatical by Artell Smith and Troy Smith is a sci-fi and suspense thriller that tells the story of dedication to family and sacrifice above everything.

Taj, a 62-year-old enforcer, was enjoying his sabbatical when he got a message that his partner, Taddy, had been captured by Fayzaan, the evil and sadistic Crown Prince, who was hellbent on revenge. His only option was to surrender himself to save Taddy's life. Taj contacted his parents and brother, who swung into action. With the help of other enforcers and very skilled synthetics, they embarked on a dangerous journey to save Taddy and Taj.

I totally enjoyed the book. I particularly loved the fact that it was set in the future, with very amazing technological advancements and innovations. These innovations were at first difficult to grasp, but they were well described, which made them easy to envision. I also loved the bond between the family members and the core values, such as sacrifice and love, shown by the members of the family. Equally noteworthy was the sacrifice, bravery, and grit displayed by the other enforcers and synthetics, which was very heroic and commendable. The terms in the book were well described and explained, making it very easy to understand and enjoy the story. I totally loved the story.

I did not dislike anything about the book. Although I found a few terminologies a little hard to understand, they were adequately explained. There was a beautiful balance between action and emotion, which made the book way more interesting. The author's writing style was very refreshing, with very interesting innovations and technological advancements. I really enjoyed the book.

I rate this book 
five out of five stars for its intriguing and suspense-filled story. The book was expertly edited, and I found no grammatical errors while reading it. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for lovers of sci-fi books with intriguing technological innovations. I also highly recommend this book for individuals looking for a beautiful suspense-filled thriller novel. This book will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. -OnlineBookClub
