I am now almost constantly on the hunt for spicy novels. Pretty much any time I get a whiff of a book that has a mature audience rating I find myself almost immediately researching what it is about and pondering if it is worth me buying. I think I may have found a decent series in the Blood Oath books by R. L. Caulder.
We are introduced to the young Alina Van Helsing, a family that is synonymous with vampire slaying, as she must endure the task of choosing a husband now that she has had her twenty-first birthday. A tragedy occurs while she is out celebrating with her friends, one which puts an immediate stop to the dreaded obligation of marrying young which she was very much looking to avoid. Her life changes incredibly drastically in less than a week, I am not quite sure how she manages to handle it. As you are reading, it is hard not to notice how fast paced everything is, with events progressing in a matter of hours and days rather than weeks. I would have enjoyed more detail and more of a drawn out plot, but at least the spicy scenes are well written and there are three more books in the series that I am looking forward to reading. I give this story a two out of five on my spice scale, and I hope that in the next book maybe that spice will go up to a three.
