And Raina's ability to communicate with the wolves and her knowledge of Donovan's mysterious past pretty much gives away almost everything else. The story follows them on their path to the inevitable as they seek out the hostile werewolves. Of course, Donovan and Raina are drawn to each other and quickly give in to their attraction. And that's really the best part of the book. The love scenes are good and the two make a solid couple in an us-against-the-world sort of way.

Unfortunately, they're in love at the speed of light, which detracts from its believability.

Other than the predictability of the story, my other big problem with the book was the abruptness of the ending. I wouldn't call it a cliffhanger, but the book ended very quickly after the climax with some serious lingering questions. And though I liked both main characters --and I liked them together-- I couldn't get very excited about how it all played out. The review that follows is a partial review.

So when problems arise with the local Weres, the clan must try to take care of things—without the humans finding out. One of their own, a fairly new vampire, Slade Donov The review that follows is a partial review. One of their own, a fairly new vampire, Slade Donovan, is put on the case. But he's not doing so alone, oh no. He'll be working with a local Game Warden, Raina Ravenwing, a normal human or so they think.

When the skeletons in his closet come out, no one's more surprised then Slade—and he might just have more in common with those mangy fur-balls than he ever dreamed of The Half-Breed Vampire was a quick read, and one that managed to capture most of my attention.

However, while the storyline by itself would have been interesting, the way it was told left me a bit disappointed and wanting more. The story seemed too rushed, with about a dozen twists and secrets thrown in within only a handful of pages. It was simply too much for me to take in—just when I'd start to come to terms with one sudden plot twist, another one was thrown in my face. And all these twists lead to a story that seemed bogged down by them rather than a fast-paced adventure, like it could have been.

Raina and Slade were not the deepest of characters. They could have used more development, more substance. And the chemistry between them seemed more like a joke. I just couldn't see it, though I dearly wanted to. Slade's declaration of love if you can call it that came out of the blue and had nothing to back it up. I was simply left wanting after reading their supposed love story.

Mar 15, Cocktails and Books rated it liked it Shelves: Slade always felt like an outsider within the Cascade Coven of vampires. Homeless as a small child, he was brought to the coven and trained as one of their mortal foot soldiers. When he was twenty-five, he was given the option of becoming a vampire, which he grasped with both hands. But since his transition he's been plagued every time there is a full moon and he can't figure out why. So it's close to the next full moon when Slade it assigned to work with a local game warden to hunt some large wo Slade always felt like an outsider within the Cascade Coven of vampires.

So it's close to the next full moon when Slade it assigned to work with a local game warden to hunt some large wolves seen running the Cascade mountains and and harassing the residents. Raina Ravenwing is a tough woman, but one that seems to calm Slade Raina has chosen her own path, which goes against that of her people who refer to her as the Wolf Whisperer. Raina knows exactly what happened to the last Whisperer and is determined not to have the same fate as her.

But as she tries, along with Slade, to determine where this new wolf pack came from, she comes face to face with the fact that there are more paranormal creatures in the world other than vampires. That probably is why I was a little lost with some things in the story. That said, you can still follow what is happening and engage fully with both Slade and Raina. I like the twist with Slade being the lost son of the pack alpha It added an emotional element for Slade as a man who's always looking for a way to belong. On the flip side of Slade, we have Raina, who finds out that everything that she's held dear is a complete lie.

When you put Raina and Slade together you can see the two pieces of the whole connecting. The romance was a bit fast I think they were trading I love you's within two or three days , but given how fast the overall storyline moved it fit right in. Mar 02, Shay Williams rated it liked it Shelves: This book or series of books are unique in my experience in that they are set up as a mini-series similar to what one would find on television.

Or course the reader has to wait much longer then a television viewer to read the next episode. The first thing that drew me to this series of books was the setting. I am from Washington state so I am familiar wit This book or series of books are unique in my experience in that they are set up as a mini-series similar to what one would find on television.

I do want to give Ms. Meyers kudos on how accurate her depiction of both settings are. I also very much enjoyed both the main characters, Slade and Raina. They are so very real with all their strengths and weakness. I do wish that Ms. Meyers had been able to dig deeper into their characters but she did a rather complete job for a novella. I especially enjoyed the dialogue between them. It was very sharp and witty. My only issue was their falling in love almost overnight. This was actually the first book that I read in this mini-series and it was complete enough that I could easily follow along.

The ending is a cliff-hanger so I will be getting the next book in the series so that I can find out what happens and I do intend to the first two also in this series. I do recommend this book to any readers that enjoy a quick paranormal romance just be warned that you will be sucked into picking up the rest of the series. I rate this book a 3. No monies have or will exchange hands. Feb 26, Marq ReadingRomanceinColor rated it it was ok.

Vampirism is treated as a virus. Humans can be injected with vampire blood, or Ichor, and get some of the vampire abilities while not turning into a full-blown vamp. Slade Donovan joined the clan when he was 10 years old and being a Shyeld and part of the clan is all he's every known. But there are mysteries about his parentage and his past that are finally coming to light and will rock his world to its core.

The Half-Blood Vampire was an okay read. I liked the spin on what causes vampirism and weres. The idea of it being a virus that needs to be activated is a new and fresh idea. Most of the plot was interesting yet predictable. I enjoyed Slade's character and his struggle to find out who he is. Raina was difficult to like due to her close-mindedness regarding supernatural beings.

Even though she was working with a vampire, she refused to acknowledge what was presented to her -- that other beings exist. I also hated how she trashed her tribe's lore and traditions by calling it "mumbo jumbo. Nothing about it wow'd me. My problems with the heroine ruined the book for me but Slade was great as the hero. His sweet tooth and affinity for candy won me over immediately.

Even though it's the third book in the series, it was somewhat easy to follow. I think reading the first two books would help give the whole picture about the vampires and the clan. This book is the third book in the Sons Of Midnight series, I didn't realise until I started reading it that I had obviously not read the first two books. So while I did feel like I may have missed out on some important information to do with the specific storyline and the lore of the vampires and werewolves, it was still an enjoyable story.

Slade who has no memory of his life before he was eight and found homeless will find out about his history, the fact that Raina knows who his parents are and the connection she has to Slade's past. I really liked that the vampires in this story are different from others I read about and it gave the vampire lore a fresh twist. I will definitely be seeking out the previous book in the series to find out what I've missed.

Both Slade and Raina are very interesting characters that are strong, and sell reliant but that end up complimenting each other perfectly. While intially they are at odds with each other, they come to work together as a great team. Both characters have surprises in store for them in the story and its fun to follow along and see where they end up. While I did read the two books previous to this. I do not feel it is a requirement to read them in order.

By reading in order you do find out more about what is going on in the world around them with vampirism and what mortals know about the paranormal world that exists.
