When I first received the pitch for BLOOD RIGHTS (US | UK | AUS) back in 2009, I was blown away.  My first thought was, “I must have this. This is fantastic!”  Kristen’s pacing, the rich characters, the tense, steamy relationship between Mal and Chrysabelle, not to mention the rarity of finding such a unique take on the vampire myth… I just could not put it down.

Now, four books later, I cannot believe this is the end.  If possible, I’ve grown to love the characters and world of the House of Comarré even more, and the twists and turns in LAST BLOOD (US | UK |AUS) will leave you breathless.  It is always hard to say goodbye to characters, but with an ending this good?  Well, you’ll just have to read it and find out for yourself.

In the final showdown between the forces of dark and light, Mal and Chrysabelle face not only Tatiana, but the ancient evil that now controls her: the Castus Sanguis.

One of them will change sides. One of them will die. No one will survive unscathed. Can Chrysabelle save those she cares about or will that love get her killed? What price is she willing to pay to draw last blood?
