All Cole Warnecki wanted was to live out his vacation in one piece. What he gets is more than he ever imagined. For Cole has found himself in the middle of a war between things he only thought were in the movies, video games and books. Can Cole stay alive long enough to find out what the heck he got himself involved in?

BLOOD BLADE is the first book from a fairly new author, Marcus Pelegrimas and the first in his new series called Skinners. It was an interesting take on the normal vampires, werewolves and other bump in the night creatures that I love to read about. In his first foray into the paranormal Horror world, he creates a world where there are creatures we only read about or see in Hollywood movies that inhabit the darkness. Filled with an intriguing mix of characters that keep you entertained from the first page to the last; BLOOD BLADE delves into a world where evil is coming, mixed creatures are coming out of the woodwork and the Skinners are the only police force that the paranormal world has against them. But what they are up against is something they have never experienced before. I was enthralled with the fast pace Mr. Pelegrimas weaved in his storyline and the characters were continually growing on me as I read BLOOD BLADE.

I really enjoyed seeing the way this author made his mark on the paranormal world and he definitely delivers a book that will keep you entertained. I look forward to seeing what Cole goes through as he finds himself drafted into the Skinners. If you enjoy a paranormal horror story that will give you a twist on the genres, then grab this new series from Marcus Pelegrimas and see how a video game programmer has to deal with a world he only thought was a fairy tale. BLOOD BLADE will definitely deliver a pulse pounding ride into a world where vampires, shifters and other bump in the night creatures await you. I look forward to seeing what is next from this pleasurable author.
