Bloodscourge by Sydney Winward

      A thief with a deadly secret. A vampire willing to do anything for family.

Orphaned at birth, Elisabeta Trelles and her twin brother, Miles, turned early to robbery and pillaging to survive the mean streets. Now, after gaining information on the location of the famed Dragon Egg, Miles insists his sister infiltrate the secretive vampire society of Ichor Knell and the Egg. All Elisabeta wants is a better life for herself and her brother—one of honesty and integrity. Possessing the Egg will help her achieve that goal.

Driven to maintain, preserve and protect the vampire population of Ichor Knell, Dracula is relentless in his duty. His friends, and there are a host, are obsessed with hooking him up with the perfect mate. While family is everything to him—and he might be willing—perfection is difficult to find.

Vampires mate forever. If Elisabeta seduces Dracula, finds the Egg then leaves him, she will in effect rob him of his future because he’ll never be able to take another—and she will still be nothing more than a thief.

Our Review: In this third addition to the Bloodborn series, we are again treated to author Sydney Winward’s enviable ability to create diverse and multi-layered characters as well as building a world rarely seen in other vampire fiction. Ichor Knell comes alive in Bloodscourge, showing its top and undersides and becomes a showcase for the Vampire culture with all its customs and vagaries.

Well done. Very well done!

On a scale of 1-5, Bloodscourge deserves a 6.
