Nothing could have prepared Eve for what she has become. At the hands of the most powerful vampire in the world, Adam Omega, she is now that which she detests. A vampire, the first one made in hundreds of years and the wife to a being that can’t stand her touch. Letting her anger be her guiding force, Eve proves to Adam she’s no longer a weak mortal who will fall back in fear of him. Now she has the strength of the undead and her magical essence to protect herself. An old alley becomes more when Sullivan, the vampire she conspired with against Adam turns into her confidant and lover.

Adam did not make it a thousand year by being weak. His inability to be with Eve tortures him to the depths of his soul but his long standing practice of not bedding vampire women stands in his way of showing Eve how much he loves her. His guilt allows him to give Eve a leeway until her time with his old friend turned foe twists into something he won’t’ stand for. Eve is his wife and he will prove to her, and her lover, that she will never be free of him or his love.

Not even death will come to claim what is his and Adam will demonstrate once again that his will is stronger than Eve’s desire to leave him.

I’m sitting here trying to decide how best to review a story I will admit continues to fascinate and engage me even though I can’t stand the male lead. Adam Omega, Eve and Sullivan make for an interesting love triangle, which turns into exhibitions of power, anger and love. In Blood We Trust continues the story of Adam and Eve, and their tumultuous relationship that seems built on pain more than the death defying love they share.  Adam continues to exert his will on Eve and she continues to rebel but this time she’s stronger and wiser. The new Eve is powerful and has wants and desires and she isn’t willing to set aside, mourning a Vampire who can’t stand her touch.
