In the Blood

Finished In the Blood (book 2 of The Maker's Song series) by Adrian Phoenix. Really liked it just like the first one (A Rush of Wings). Also like the first one, this is definitely an adult only book (sex, blood, torture, murder, etc.). The first book took place mostly in New Orleans, LA but this one only starts off there then moves mostly between Washington and Oregon. It still has a good bit of Cajun french words and phrases (and thankfully the glossary in the back) which I really liked learning. Here is the summary from the back cover:

A QUEST AS SEDUCTIVE AS HIS KISS, AS UNCONTROLLABLE AS HIS THIRST, AS UNFORGIVING AS HIS DETERMINATION TO PROTECT ONE MORTAL WOMAN AT ANY COST...

DANTE LIVES.

Vampire. Rock star. Begotten son of a fallen angel. Dante Baptiste continues to search for the truth about his past. When his band Inferno comes to Seattle on tour, FBI Special Agent Heather Wallace is drawn back to the beautiful, dangerous nightkind. But new enemies lurk in the shadows, closer than Heather and Dante think...and even deadlier than they fear.

DESTINY UNFOLDS.

Shady government forces have pledged to eliminate all loose ends from Project Bad Seed -- and Heather and Dante are at the top of the list. Elsewhere, the Fallen gather in Gehenna, intent on finding their long-awaited savior. And a damaged and desperate adversary, with powers as strange and perilous as Dante's own, plots to use Dante as a pawn in a violent scheme for revenge. Only one of these lethal forces holds the key that could finally unlock the secret of Dante's birth and the truth of his existence...or destroy him completely.
