Review:
Angela Castle has created a new world in Blue Bloods of Archalon Book 1: Blood Rich, that mixes vampires and ancient aliens that lure and entice us to dip a little deeper and fall in love with the characters. I love her originality to give a different birth to ancient vampires than that of the typical. Her creativity has lured me to desire to know more about the history of her characters and to read more about their experiences.
I would like to see her expand more on their relationship instead of them jumping fast forward into their destined romance. A more realistic reaction and behavioral description about the characters towards each other, would make the story more attractive and not so rushed. However I do give this book a rating of 3 for its unique creation.
