Dirty Blood (Dirty Blood #1) by Heather Hildenbrand

Dirty Blood (Dirty Blood #1)
By: Heather Hildenbrand

Synopsis from Goodreads: I killed a girl last night. I did it with my bare hands and an old piece of pipe I found lying next to the dumpster. But that’s not the part that got me. The part that scared me, the part I can’t seem to wrap my head around and still has me reeling, was that when she charged me, her body shifted – and then she was a wolf. All snapping teeth and extended claws. But by the time I stood over her lifeless body, she was a girl again. That’s about the time I went into shock… And that was the moment he showed up.

Now, all I can do is accept the truths that are staring me in the face. One, Werewolves do exist. And Two, I was born to kill them.


Goodreads:
reviewTroubles, love, and secrets seem endless for Tara and her long journey on finding her destiny.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat! I can't wait to read the rest of the series!!!!

I was skeptical at first because there are already so many books about Werewolves and such, but I found this fairly original. Her take on Werewolves and Hunters being balanced by strength and stamina may be a bit clique. And also that Werewolves and Hunters are eons long enemies may be a bit clique as well. But, the fact that Ms. Hildenbrand had more secrets to reveal about Tara and her family, the book became very suspenseful (for me). 

The romantic conflicts between Tara and George and Tara and Wes sort of made me irritated because Tara makes me second-guessing on her decisions. But, the action and suspense made up for it. 

The twists and the irony in some parts of the story surprised me because it was unexpected. The irony had made the book more enjoyable and made me want to keep reading on.

I just needed to keep reading or else I was going to die out of anxiousness on finding out what happened next. 

The romance in this was also very enjoyable, but I wish there was more...And that the conflicts of Tara's just keep on building up and that there were even more secrets to discover in the series.

Overall, there were parts of the book that had upset me, but the originality and the irony in the book had made it very worth while to read!

Star rating: 9 out of 10
