Blood Junky is a character driven psychological thriller that pushes the edge of the vampire genre to new depths of horror. Linnet Pevensey is 236 years old, and she’s feeling every inch of it. Besieged by a wall of painful memories, longing for simpler times, she’s secluded herself off from the world. Z is unpredictable. A century-old vampire whose blood parasite has begun its last cycle, she is enthralled in every possible way to avoid the here and now. And fate is moving them toward clandestine events of their own making. Neither one of them could have foreseen how meeting Ryan Silva was going to impact their afterlives, but karma is a vengeful bitch!
Ryan Silva is a good looking, soulful songbird whose never had a problem getting any girl he’s ever wanted…well, that was, until he met Z. Now, he’s hooked, and locked on a downward spiral that threatens to destroy, not just his morality and soul, but his very life if he does not stop stalking the vampires. But their lives are inescapably linked.
Dominique De’Paul, the freed blood slave of the ancient race, is unsure if she’ll be able to hold back the tide of war and stop the coming genocide. Her Children of Evensong are in peril and the clock is running out. Pitted against her love for Linnet and a rueful protégé, Mother Night races to rescue their only salvation before all is lost.
Weaving through the consciousness of time, between the past and present, this intense journey of obsession travels the globe from modern day Los Angeles to the bygone eras of London, Tangiers, Africa, and the exotic lands of São Paulo, Brazil. Grand truths are unveiled as our story unfolds from millennia-old legends, flawlessly incorporating historically accurate places, people, and events with meticulous detail and lyrical fiction. With Blood Junky, Stavros has crafted an intricate web of vivid memoir and struggling passions, giving this most beloved genre new pathos and myths from which any story can be told.
The One Blood series was conceived as a single epic tale that spans the entire chronicle. Each book is designed to reveal a deeper richly layered vision as mysteries build, characters evolve, and plots thicken. Blood Junky is self-contained and can be read independently; though, be careful! Because, once you’ve started reading you’ll be hooked too…just another Junky, looking for a fix!
