As an alien threat sends humans to seek
out the supernatural beings they have tried to destroy,
Jozef, the Prince of Blood is asked once again to be the
diplomat who works through the negotiations. Hesitant
because of their dark history, he still goes at the urging
of his lover Tigress, a shifter whose skills on the
battlefield are renowned and a female soldier that leaves
males quaking in their boots. Things go from bad to worse
when the humans kidnap Jozef and the resulting rampage will
be one for the history book. One that won’t end until
Tigress’ lover is safely back in her arms.
I must admit to normally shying away from books where women
take on the dominant role. So that is why I found it
interesting that Tigress, Tygon commander of the Queen
of Carnage was a character I actually liked. Her
relationship with her vampire lover Jozef seemed a little
playful even if it was also a little painful in the good
sort of way. In a story that was simple and to the point,
Mchael Barnette’s heroine took no prisoners as she risked
wiping out an entire planet if that’s what it took to get
the man she loved back. Outside of what seemed like a
conventional ending this is a great story that readers I’m
sure will find delicious. |
