"an entertaining ride with characters I won't soon forget"
Joshua and Jessie are a married couple in love. Their bliss
is interrupted
when Joshua is bitten by a werewolf, causing him to become
one as well. To
make matters worse, Joshua kills the werewolf that bit him.
This causes that
werewolf's clan to hunt Joshua and Jessie. They find refuge
where they can,
and help where it becomes available, finally culminating to
a battle for
their lives and their love. Blood Line, by Rie McGaha is an entertaining ride
with characters I won't
soon forget. The Hero and Heroine are vivid and intense,
driven by the
strength of their love. The love scenes range from hot to
scalding, spanning
the spectrum of human and wolf. Blood Line is a
thoroughly satisfying tale
set at such a fast pace, this reader was unable to put it
down. One of the secondary characters steals the spotlight.
Ganda, both witch and
wolf, is such a delightful character that turning the last
page I was
disappointed that her tale did not continue. The story is a
wonderful escape
into the imagination of Rie McGaha. The descriptions used
in the
transformation of humans and werewolves are wonderfully
detailed. The story ends with a brief look into the life of one of
the secondary
characters. I do hope it is a sign of what is to come from
this author.

Truck driver Joshua Kaine and his wife, Jessie, enjoy the freedom of the open road, until the night Josh is attacked by a rabid dog. Josh kills the animal, but his and Jessie's troubles have only just begun. Following the attack, Josh becomes deathly ill, but three weeks later he's feeling much better - much stronger - much more alive. When the moon rises full and bright, Josh experiences the change for the first time, his body morphing into that of a large, gray wolf. His appetite - for both food and sex - is enormous, and he spends every waking moment feeding his hunger. Jessie doesn't know what's come over her husband, but she's not complaining. At least, not until a clan of werewolves comes after her and her family, intent upon seeking revenge for the death of their leader. From a remote mountaintop to the swamps of Louisiana, Josh searches for a solution to their dilemma, but time is running out. When the absolute worst happens, Josh is forced to turn the tables and the hunted becomes the hunter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
