Review: Toxic (Blood Countess #1) by Eve Langlais

Either you’re with me, or you’ll feed me.

Humans are for eating and I am not one to play with my food, so I’m baffled as to why one geeky mortal doctor makes me wish our kind could be together without my brand of love being toxic. As if suffering from human emotions isn’t problem enough, our world is about to engage in a war where our chances of survival are slim at best. And no one wants to listen.

But, I didn’t become the general of the vampire Queen’s army by being diplomatic. Everyone will fight in the upcoming battle, or they’ll feed my troops and I. Either way, all things living will do their part.

I am after all the Blood Countess, toxic lover to humans, vicious bitch to my enemies, and my word is law. 

My Review:

My Rating: 4 Stars

I thoroughly love a great story line with a strong female front and center.  Ellie is a vampire and the head general for the vampire Queen.  She's all business and emanates strength tenfold until she meets a man of science.

The inevitable attack among human kind is coming from the depths of the daemon hell. Ellie and the Queen are gearing up for battle.  Revealing their identity, appeasing wide spread panic, enlisting help from the Other races, training armies, tracking daemons, collecting intel and the list goes on- Ellie surely does not have time to do something as human as learn she has a heart and emotions other then the pang of blood hunger.

Toxic is equal parts urban fantasy and para romance and with a character like Ellie who throws curve ball after curve ball any reader will be entertained.  I will note that the ending certainly leaves an urge to throw a tantrum (like a baby who has lost their binkie) until the next installment is released.
