But can Alexander keep Elizabeth safe when he’s chosen to mate with a vampire from his troubled past?

Review:

Drawing Bloodlines by Deborah Garland is the first book in her new The Princeton Allegiant series.

Alexander is stunned at finding “her” she is a rare human, her blood is so sweet and special that vampires would do anything to taste it, even abduct the host to keep that sweet blood all for themselves. But he’s here to do a job, and he resists the temptation to “taste” the human in front of him.

But Alex has left it too long between feedings, and after a hundred years of being a vampire he should have known better. But surely a sip wouldn’t hurt …… But he gets caught drinking one of  Elizabeth’s vials !!! Finding out where she lives is easy, intending to wipe her memory Alexander moves in ……but when Elizabeth opens her eyes, he doesn’t see fear or condemnation, he sees want and lust …..

The connection between Elizabeth and Alexander reminded me of another author (Lara Adrian, her midnight breed) and when he finds out his new commander wants him for her “mate” he’s left feeling torn (the feelings he has for Elizabeth or duty to his race?)

Alexander has a few things up his sleeve, he’s not going to go down without a fight. The magic he holds left me a few questions……. (was he born with it? Or does he practice?) Could this be the key to his being able to stay with Elizabeth ? To find out if I get my questions answered, you’ll need to read it?

There were a few surprises along the way? (don’t want me to spoil it?) but a really well written book. Looking forward to reading the next book.
