Blood & Guilt: A Modern Vampire Romantasy (Vampire of Montenegro Series Book 1)

*** "Not a one-sitting reader – until this book! I sat to read this book last night, fully expecting to read a few chapters- but mid morning, I had finished it. That’s not a normal occurrence for me, which says a lot about how much I enjoyed this story." *** "This book has passion, love, danger, a need for protection. The plot is engaging, and well written. I enjoyed reading this book!!!!" *** "Excellent vampire romance, complex characters and a plot that keeps you hooked. I will forever be a fan of Jade Christy, the word choices, the way the plot weaves, the build thru the series is just next level engaging." *** "A vampire story worth reading. I have already finished the second book… and the only thing I can tell you is that I'm thirsting for the rest of the tale." ----- SOME VAMPIRES CRAVE BLOOD. HE CRAVES ABSOLUTION. A guilt-ridden vampire hiding in a Montenegro crypt must choose between the darkness of his shame and the dangerous light of a fearless woman who refuses to let him disappear. He feeds from a priest and hides in a crypt. She lost everything — but refuses to lose herself. In the mountains of Montenegro, Luka has spent fifty years punishing himself for a single, catastrophic mistake. He believes he is beyond redemption. Then Claire, an American tourist sheltering from a storm while hiking, walks into his chapel, and sees him. Their connection is slow, intimate, and dangerously real. But the chapel is going to be sold & demolished, so his carefully constructed penance begins to crack. His sanctuary will fall and he will burn in the sun, or he must decide to leave. Will Claire help him? Can she? There are complicated dangers awaiting him... A mysterious vampire king offers a tantalizing but suspicious promise of absolution. Powerful immortals do not offer gifts without strings — and the price of redemption may cost Luka everything he is only just beginning to want. “Blood & Guilt” is a fast-paced, adventurous yet deeply sensual, character-driven vampire romance about trust, confession, and daring to love when you believe you are unworthy of it. The book delivers a lush Montenegro setting, a morally complex vampire hero, a heroine who refuses to back down, and a romance that burns slow and devastating. This is Book 1 of a four book series for fans of vampire romantasy.
