it was amazing
bookshelves: fiction

So far, this is my favorite debut novel of 2010 (even though it hasn't come out yet). I had as much fun reading Blood Oath and discovering Christopher Farnsworth as I did with Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell last year.

Blood Oath follows the story of Nathaniel Cade, a vampire sworn to protect the President of the United States. The novel reads like a Vince Flynn political thriller mixed with Hellboy and the Universal Monsters. If you ask me, those three traits are the equation for a great book.

This is the beginning of a great series. I can't wait to see what Farnsworth does with the characters next.

Christopher Farnsworth Thanks, Dane. That's high praise. I hope I can keep earning it.

And I loved Bazell's book, too. Absolute literary heroin. Can hardly wait to see more from him.

Love this! I am about midway through and can't get over what a page-turner it is.

Christopher Farnsworth Thanks, J. Really nice to hear.


Jenny I really enjoyed this book. As everyone said: fun, fast-paced and intriguing plot line. I want to know more about Cade and what makes him tick. Can't wait to read the next one!
