Archer’s Lady (2012) Moira Rogers
This is the next book in the Bloodhounds series, and IS A BOINKING BOOK. LOTS OF BOINKING.
Just so you know.
Why do I keep reading this? Because I find the world she created fascinating.
Bloodhounds are humans who were created/remade/manipulated to fight vampires. They have keep the towns in the wild West safer (but not safe) from the vampires who prey upon these isolated groups.
Archer is sent to Crystal Springs, both to try to resolve the problem problem the town has been having with vampires boldly preying on the folk, and to attempt to redeem himself from the events in Wilder’s Mate. What he discovers when he arrives is a schoolmarm who isn’t quite as she seems, and a female bloodhound–something the Guild would very much like to know about, but which the woman’s protector had done her best to keep from happening.
Of course the schoolmarm (who is running from her past) and Archer, who is trying to redeem himself, are attracted to each other.
But that’s not what I liked so much. With each book, we learn more and more about the Guild, the scientists and inventors who created Bloodhounds and the weapons they use, and the men who became Bloodhounds (often when their only other choice was death.)
Rating: 7/10
