Blood Scent — Patty G. Henderson

Love beyond the grave.

Blood Scent takes the popular trappings of vampirism, romance and the gothic; bringing them together in a modern tale of a young woman's journey into the dark side of her soul.

Set in fictional Bayton Isle, off the coast of Maine, Samantha Barnes, a successful cover artist for romance novels, must come to terms with her manic depressive past and her obsessive desire to find true love even if it leads her to the grave itself.

When Samantha suddenly finds herself attracted to a woman with a mysterious and haunting past, she is whisked into a nightmare world of vampires, blood and murder. Thinking that she has finally found the perfect lover in Lara Karnov, the unholy pact she forges with the vampire nearly costs her the lives of those who love her most. Samantha slowly discovers that the infamous Karnov Family is a savvy group of vampires surviving for centuries on the blood of those who served them. By the time Samantha comes to realize the truth, the trail of blood has taken a deadly turn.

The Countess Lara Karnov brings to vampire lore a new and surprising twist in an ending that will haunt you long after you've put the book down.

Blood Scent delivers a bold and daring look into our own darkest fears.
