In the vampire world the Covert has been around for hundreds of years. They take girls off the streets and then sell them to vampires who are looking to “collect” women for unpleasant purposes. It is a nasty business but vampires see humans as objects so buying one from the Covert is like adding another car to your collection. It wasn’t uncommon to hear another girl go missing off the streets, but when girls from well-known families begin to disappear, the Supernatural Crime Division begins to take notice.
Blake Noble is assigned by her superior to investigate the disappearance of his niece and to take down the Covert. Blake being the daughter of Lucifer and a famous vampire mother uses her abilities to survive through the investigation. Between demon lessons from her father and falling for the Deputy Director she tries to find a way to take down a several hundred year old business. Only she soon realizes people she trusted are involved.
Blake Noble is a half vampire, half demon with a little witch thrown in for good measure. When we first meet her she is working for the SCD, Supernatural Crime Division and is going undercover to find out who kidnapped her boss’s niece. From there she gets betrayed, discovers new powers, gets kidnapped,kicks some ass,reconnects with an old friend,falls in love, meets her father, who just happens to be Lucifer.
What did I think about Blood Slaves? If you have had read any of my reviews you know I am not a fan of the “insta-love” aspect. Which we have in this book. Though Blake didn't go overboard like a lot characters tend to do, that he wasn't the only thing that mattered to her. Blake is independent, strong willed, snarky and has more courage at times than common sense. She tends to barrel into situations without being prepared. I felt that about half way through the book it was a bit rushed. I thought that something that needed more explaining was brushed over. Even with all of that I finished the book in one sitting. It kept my attention and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
