Just found these
wonderful reviews of books by Vicki Kiere, what do you think :
Gifts of the blood: I read a lot in this genre/price range and was impressed with the story/characters/writing. If you love romance novels where the author spends about every other page hammering into your head how attractive the hero is then you won't like this. I, however, appreciated it. I loved the brother/sister relationship too.
Darkness in the blood: As a 2nd book in a triolgy you would expect a lot of answers and some resolutions. You get some of that, but a lot of stuff is left unopened. Instead of being annoying this is leaving me desperate for book 3! The characters get a lot more in depth in this book, leaving you loving some and hating others.
Here's the actual blurbs from goodreads:Gifts of the Blood (Gifted Blood 1): Caspia Chastain, art student and barista, is gifted (or plagued, if you ask her) with the ability to draw the future, usually at the worst possible times. Her parents are four years dead; everyday she watches her brother Logan fight his cancer diagnosis. Things get worse for Caspia the day she draws an angry stranger framed by planes of light and violent, bloody images. That exact same stranger walks up to her out of nowhere mere hours later knowing things he shouldn't, like her name, her brother's illness, and her strange ability. That's when Caspia discovers her hometown is a refuge for supernatural beings both Light and Dark, and she and her brother find themselves caught up in a war between the two that predates their very birth. In order to protect herself and her brother, she turns to the one who seems to have started it all: the man who walked out of her sketchbook calling himself Ethan.
But Ethan has his own agenda, Logan's getting sicker fast, and Caspia finds that drawing the future isn't the only strange thing she can do. Meanwhile, someone really wants all of them dead. In a town where Dark doesn't equal Evil and Light isn't always Good, Caspia and Ethan find themselves making strange alliances and even stranger sacrifices in order to protect those they love.
Darkness in the Blood (Angels Edge 2):powerful enemy steps out of the shadows at last, determined to build an army of Nephilim descendents that will conquer the Realms of Light. Caspia is the perfect weapon, except for one small problem. She doesn't want to join. Too bad the Dark forces that hunt her don't care.
As Ethan comes to terms with life in Whitfield and Logan learns to live again, Caspia finds herself both reluctant defender and coveted potential weapon as conflict escalates throughout the streets of Whitfield. Both Chastain siblings must push themselves to learn all they can about their ancestry and their abilites. Caspia, especially, struggles with the Dark nature of her gifts. Can she use Darkness to fight Darkness without becoming corrupted herself, even if it is in defense of her home, family, and the man she loves?
In Gifts of the Blood, Caspia fought for her brother's life and soul.
In Darkness in the Blood, Caspia must fight for her own
Another question, are they supposed to be the same series? Their referred to as such in the review, but labeled differently on goodreads, just a thought,
No longer active.
I now avoid any posts that give just a review for the same reasons the released doesn't take time to make sure his post is okay (book covers, books that actually open etc), and is just trying to make a profit, grrh
If you have read the book, giving a review can be difficult without revealing spoilers! I think it's okay to be contreversial if you've actually given the subject some thought, not just to sound off!
, atleast you didn't cry reading the last 'Harry Potter' book 
! And I admit to loving Laurell K Hamilton both 'Merry Gentry' and 'Anita Blake' series despite opinion about her style too much s**, too many men etc.
