1st Nathaniel Cade series
What happens when you cross DC politics and the supernatural? You get the only Vampire employed by the President of the United States and BLOOD OATH by Christopher Farnsworth.
BLOOD OATH started off a little rocky for me. A lot of lead up and not a lot of follow through happened in the first 100 pages, typical of the first book in a series. However, after that initial drought of action the story took a turn and I was hooked.
Nathaniel Cade is a vampire who serves the United States, and has sworn a blood oath to protect the President of the United States going as far back as Andrew Jackson and all those who follow him. Cade protects the citizens and the President from those things that go bump in the night, and has done so successfully for a very long while.
Cade’s handler former FBI Agent Griffin is sick and retiring so we are introduced to a new fledgling handler in Zach Barrows who swears the reason he was assigned to this duty is for having a relationship with Candace, the first daughter.
BLOOD OATH is a book of bonds, and relationships. Those you are made to honor and those you choose to. I look forward to seeing where else Farnsworth can take me with Cade and Barrows.
