Sins of the Blood is a unique take on the vampire legend, but it could have been better. I liked the general premise (that vampirism is a condition of the body, not a condition of the soul) but the book, though technically well-written, lacked a certain something. It just didn't capture me the way it should have. I enjoyed it as far as it went, but I wouldn't read it again.
