Kentucky, The "Bluegrass State," has turned red. A decade after a catastrophic experiment gone wrong, vampires now boldly leave emptied bodies in the street, and humans will soon cower in fear. The Guardians, a clandestine force intent on stopping the carnage, have covertly infiltrated the dwindling human population as they prepare for the coming battle. Some will have to make tough decisions. Some will completely question whether they are on the right side of this war. Both sides have their strengths, weaknesses, and pitch-black secrets-- but who will prevail? Warning: This book does contain some romance elements so it can be classified as a Paranormal romance however it is more focused on the characters and their journey.

Six hikers are trekking through the wilderness and make camp. Mark is awoken in the middle of the night and sees a wolf stalking them. When it attacks and kills one of the campers, Mark shoots the beast six times with his gun, but fails to kill it. The campers then realize that they're not dealing with any ordinary wolf. Throughout the night the werewolf picks them off one by one, and the survivors have to devise a plan to kill it before they all die.

A legion of warrior vampires must seek out the help of a mystical oracle to release them from their unwilling service to an evil creature known only as "The Seer." Cerrunos Mace has been the leader of the Elite for centuries and is desperate to free his warriors from the curse that he brought upon them before it's too late. Aron Ethos resents his responsibility to the temple of a goddess he does not believe in, but an event that threatens his sister's life forces him to choose between light and dark. Zackarius never wanted to be a part of the coven, but he never had a choice, and it will take a beautiful girl in white robes to give him a reason worth living. Eryka feels responsible for the unspeakable acts brought upon the people of Torrea, and is determined to make the Seer pay...at all costs.

THROUGHOUT HISTORY AND ACROSS CULTURES, the most common form of violence is that between family members and neighbors or kindred communities—in civil wars writ large and small. From assault to genocide, from assassination to massacre, violence usually emerges from inside the fold. You have more to fear from a spouse, an ex-spouse, or a coworker than you do from someone you don’t know. In this brilliant polemic, Russell Jacoby argues that violence erupts most often, and most savagely, between those of us most closely related. An Indian nationalist assassinated Mohandas Gandhi, “the father” of India. An Egyptian Muslim assassinated Anwar Sadat, the president of Egypt and a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. An Israeli Jew assassinated Yitzhak Rabin, the Israeli prime minister and similarly a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Genocide most often involves kindred groups. The German Christians of the 1930s were so closely intertwined with German Jews that a yellow star was required to tell the groups apart. Serbs and Muslims in Bosnia, like the Hutu and Tutsi in Rwanda, are often indistinguishable even to one another. This idea contradicts both common sense and the collective wisdom of teachers and preachers, who declaim that we fear—and sometimes should fear—the “other,” the dangerous stranger. Citizens and scholars alike believe that enemies lurk in the street and beyond, where we confront a “clash of civilizations” with foreigners who challenge our way of life. Jacoby offers a more unsettling truth: it is not so much the unknown that threatens us, but the known. We attack our brothers—our kin, our acquaintances, our neighbors—with far greater regularity and venom than we attack outsiders. Weaving together the biblical story of Cain and Abel, Freud’s “narcissism of minor differences,” insights on anti-Semitism and misogyny, as well as fresh analysesof “civil” bloodbaths from the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre in the sixteenth century to genocide and terrorism in our own time, Jacoby turns history inside out to offer a provocative new understanding of violentconfrontation over the centuries. “In thinking about the bad, we reach for the good,” he says in his Introduction. This passionate, counterintuitive account affords us an unprecedented insight into the roots of violence.

Not your cookie cutter vampire tale, BLOODLUST is infused with horror, history and romantic suspense. It will illuminate your senses and take you to uncharted worlds beyond the imagination. "I found it a diabolical touch that Michael McCarty and Co-author Jody LaGreca in their new book Bloodlust introduced legendary Marilyn Monroe into the tapestry of their horror novel. From the moment Monroe enters the early scenes of this strangely compelling novel to the final seconds when we find ourselves following the quiet movements of a black cat named Midnight. I predict you will be unable to put down Bloodlust. That's right, until you see it through to its very end. In a strange and mysterious way I have found my appetite increasing for their brilliant entree into vampires." -- The Amazing Kreskin, Worlds Foremost Mentalist "Michael McCarty and Jody LaGreca are masters at blending the macabre with the ordinary, the monster with the everyman with their vampire novel Bloodless. They can make a horrific killer seem quite affable, a dinner of barbecued human parts palatable, and a slit throat in lovemaking exquisitely erotic. McCarty and LaGreca write with inexplicably gruesome charm evident in Bloodless." - Patricia J. Espoito, author of the vampire novel Beside The Darker Shore "Authors Michael McCarty and Jody R. LaGreca have created a lovable roque in their character Daniel Peck, whose life is just about perfect until his former lover, Veronica shows up. Bloodless is a well written, fun read for horror and vampire fans everywhere." -Joan Mauch, author of Halifax
