Since his release from the paranormal prison he was held in for ten years, Pure Blood vampire Dante Toren has yet to find the peace he so longs for.  Leaving his brothers and the rebel Drone clan they now live with, Dante searches for some kind of mental and emotional equilibrium.  When Dante is captured by some sickeningly evil monsters, rescue and redemption come from a most unlikely source.  Brenden is everything Dante never knew he wanted, and the last vampire he should have.  The young, innocent warrior soothes the darkness in Dante, and soon the attraction between the two is too much to resist.  And when the repercussions of Dante’s rescue take hold of Brenden, it’s up to Dante to protect the male he wants as his mate.

Stephani Hecht ups the stakes in this sexy Drone Vampire Chronicles tale.  Mad Blood is everything I have come to expect from one of Ms. Hecht’s books.  It’s action-packed, sensual, and fun with two irresistibly gorgeous heroes I fell madly in love with.  Brenden is sweetness and light wrapped in a lethal, brilliant package.  He’s innocently sensual, which is a fascinating compliment to his military strength and razor-sharp mind; it’s easy to see why Dante is so attracted to him.  As for his mate, I was eager to see Dante finally find the peace and happiness he so craved.  The two males made me sigh over their romance even as they raised the heat in the room with the force of their desire for one another.
