The war with the dark wizards is still raging, and the newly forged alliance between the good wizards and vampires is trying to turn the tide in their favor. The vampire-wizard pair made up of committed lovers Alain Magnier and Orlando St. Clair is by far, the most successful partnership formed. Many others are struggling to learn how to deal with their counterparts, while some are openly hostile and uncooperative, as they deal with misconceptions and resentments, often leading to arguments and dissention.
One man that’s determined his partnership be successful is Alain’s best friend, wizard Thierry Dumont. Despite the recent death of his long estranged wife, he finds himself drawn to his new partner vampire Sebastien Noyer, and they are soon devoted to keeping each other safe. But that’s not all, because each time Sebastien feeds, their bond strengthens, drawing the two ever closer together. It’s a bond Theirry doesn’t understand, as he’s never been interested in a man before, but he can’t deny their attraction, and he’s tired of being alone.
Covenant in Blood is the second release in Ariel Tachna’s four book series Partnership in Blood and this one takes up where the first left off. While the first book dealt mostly with the new relationship between Alain and Orlando, this equally well-written second installment branches out in numerous directions, touching on many different partnerships and the type of relationship each one experiences, whether good or bad. Unfortunately, most are not operating either smoothly or efficiently, and Ms. Tachna does a great job describing their problems and discords. She does an equally nice job in developing the relationships that do work, showing how they are growing and changing as the partners draw closer.
What I really liked was seeing more of the black wizards…who they are, what they want and to what lengths they’re willing to go to reach their goals. I also appreciated the introduction of one specific bad guy…a vampire known for his mercilessness. This particular vampire is one that you will love to hate and he’ll undoubtedly appear in the last two books, and I look forward to seeing what happens to him in the end. Something bad and painful, I hope!
