PJVs QUICKIE POV: Reminiscent of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Ford immediately sucked me into her stunning world of fallen angels, club owning vampires -- and nasty demons that are ever present and on a mission to spread hate and discontent. Ford titillated me with a wonderfully sexy novel that had me from page one.

REVIEW: Faith and Hope, born of a vampire father, a very powerful vampire father, are on the cusp of their change. Unbeknowst to their over-protective father they hunt demons. They are hunting a nasty one that has taken a liking to killing women in their neighborhood. When engaging this demon a very powerful demon that they are unable to defend themselves against, appears and they know they are about to die.

Bale a fallen angel, from the race known as the Grigori rushes to the rescue of what he thinks are two human women. What he finds is much more. He takes the women back to the Grigori compound, because Faith has been infected with a deadly poison and he finds himself immediately possessive of her. He refuses to let her leave his room and even allows her to feed off of him as the change quickly over-takes her because of the poison. Though it is immediately obvious that Faith is Bale's mate, both are in complete denial, but as they try to distance themselves from each other complications arise.

The entire relationship with Bale and Faith is very deep and intense. Bale is your typical old-world Alpha male. Faith is your very progressive 21st century female, together they clash...but clash good. I found the relationship real and very sexy. I wanted a Bale of my own. Sometimes I did find that their stereotypical roles did get a bit overwhelming, but this is my usual problem with Alpha ruled PNRs. While I think aggressively over-powering men are sexy, they can be a bit much at some point. I did like that Bale called Faith "baby" instead of some insipidly derogatory pet name like "little one."

On top of it they are surrounded by all these other hot Fallen Angels and Faith's twin that you know will just star in their own book, can't wait to read those!

Overall a great read, and I can't wait to read more from Madelyn Ford!

RECOMMENDATIONS: PNR fans. Black Dagger Brotherhood junkees. Adults only, there is a lot of biting, nipping and sucking ;)

Vampire Week - Guest Post Madelyn Ford

Blog with Bite would like to welcome author Madelyn Ford. Madelyn is the author of the sexy eBook Faith Revisited. That you can win during Vampire Week!

Thanks to Blog With Bite for inviting me to be part of your Vampire Week. I’m excited to be here. I have to admit, when Rachel (Parajunkee) first emailed about it, I wasn’t sure. I mean, my book Faith Revisited isn’t really centered around vampires but fallen angels. But since Faith is indeed a vampire, here I am.

Awhile back I read somewhere that angels were the “new vampires” (which is a good thing for me because I love my angels), but I haven’t seen a whole lot of evidence confirming this. I still think vampires reign supreme in paranormal romance. Why? I’m not totally sure because personally, I like them all; angels, demons, vamps, shifters, faeries. It’s the ability to take reality and shift it, mold it into something were soul-mates and love at first sight is the norm and happily-ever-after is expected.

Is it the thought of eternal life that draws us? The romanticism of living indefinitely? The vampire is forever young and forever beautiful. Or is it the sensuality of the act of drinking blood? That it has the ability to bind to people together forever? Or my personal favorite, they get to wear really cool clothes, drive really cool cars, and carry really cool weapons, lol?

In Faith Revisited, I’d like to think I took the vampire myth and added a little something to it. Vampires are born, not made and Faith, whose father is a vampire, is still human at the beginning of the book. She can walk in daylight (cause really, wouldn’t you be a little suspicious of your neighbor who only ever came out after the sun set :) ) though as a newly changed vampire, she does have some sensitivity. And the first vampire came to be from drinking the blood of an angel, which brings about an array of problems when she hooks up with Bale.

So what is it about vampires that makes you crave more? And I know I bucked some of the traditional trends when it comes to the myth. Do you like your blood drinkers to go up in flames at first light or does it matter? Me, I like them all.
