I was sent an ARC of this book, and I've heard nothing but great things about the first book in this new series, so I decided to read this right away.
Blood Feud is the second in the Drake Chronicles series. The Drakes are a family of vampires. That said, this book is much more "Buffy" than Twilight. It's full of action, and humor, with some romance. This volume deals with Isabeau, a Hound princess vampire who was created during the French Revolution and left in a coffin for 200 years, and Logan Drake (the frock coat wearing brother of the Drake clan). Told in alternating view points we find out about a new plot to kidnap Logan's sister, and usurp the Drake family to rule the vampire clans.
I liked the touch of historical fiction in here, and the action was strong. Isabeau was a bit annoying at times, and Logan was a bit too interested in his clothes for my taste. The humor is what really kept me going though. There were times when I had to read parts of this out loud just to share the lines with whomever was near me.
