17. Blood Oath by Christopher Farnsworth

Yes, this is the one I got last week. The one about the vampire who works for the president? Hee.

I’m shocked to admit it, but I liked this book. It was fast paced, the vampires weren’t all dramatic, and there wasn’t really a love-interest. It was straight action from beginning to end.

The vampire, Cade, swore a blood oath to serve and protect the president of the United States (he swore this oath to Andrew Johnson) and has worked for all the presidents since. Wacky premise! I liked it. It was very matter-of-fact. The vamp is used to fight against other dark forces who try to harm the U.S. so he doesn’t fight people. He fights monsters.

At the beginning Cade is introduced to his new handler, Zach Barrows. Zach is a pain at first but he gets into the part and by the end we’re all friends. The book was fast, had a sense of humor, and best of all it had vampires who weren’t all high school, teeny-bopper bullshit. It was blood and guts and laughs.

I’m certain we’ll see more of these characters soon.
