Tegan's Blood by L.H. Cosway

Book Title: Tegan's Blood (The Ultimate Power Series # 1)
Author: L.H. Cosway
Genre: Paranormal/Fantasy


Tegan's Blood was a freebie and I'm glad I got it.  Not only could I truly NOT put it down once I started it, it was a "quick read" for me, which helps when you're dealing with things that life throws at you.

I found the character of Tegan to be very real, going through a very emotional time, suffering the loss of a loved one.  It didn't seem contrived to me, what she is feeling is real.  Her friends characters are also as real.  They act the same way anyone would given the situation that Tegan is currently living through.  

I found the story emotionally engaging and I have to say, I was thrown by the character of Ethan.  I'm just not understanding him at all.  Ethan is not as well written as the other characters, other than knowing his age, looks, and that he "explains" this version of how this author believes that vampires are "made" and dhamphirs are "made".  Ethan also comes from a well respected Vampiric family, and this is basically all you get, except that his moods are mercurial.  I understood a body guard's character better than Ethan, who is suppose to be a "main" character.

There was quite a bit of mystery, which was fun and I enjoyed the bits and pieces of magic thrown in for good measure.  Starting the second in the series... so obviously, I liked it enough to purchase the second...  ;)
