Dirty Blood is a MUST READ for any fan of YA paranormal. Fully developed, lovable characters, a fantastic romance, and a super awesome plot- Dirty Blood had it all! I am so addicted to this book. I can easily see myself re-reading it and enjoying it over and over again.

This book is action packed, right from the very first chapter where Tara is unexpecdely drawn into a crazy fight. And that is just the beginning. I loved learning about the Hunters and the werewolves. and this dirty blood business is extra fascinating. I can't wait to see what is in store for us next on that front.

Tara is stubborn and I loved, loved, loved the fact that she never just blindly accepted the fact that Wes kept a lot of secrets and wouldn't always answer her questions. She continued to get fed up with him when he was being all mysterious. I loved it because I know that I would be the same way. Too often in YA books, a girl meets a hot mysterious guy and as soon as he shows an interest in her, she is willing to accept a lot of half answers and goes on blind faith without any basis for that. Not Tara. She is smart, and shrewd and she demands answers before commiting. Even though there is a very strong magnetic connection between her and Wes.

And Wes is just awesome. I really, really liked him. He was annoyingly mysterious at times but eventually he got the hint that he needed to share things with Tara if he wanted to be with her. I look forward to getting to know Wes even better in the next books. I snuck a peek at the summary for book 2 and i'm nervous to see this new guy Alex pop up. I have read a few reviews (because I became obssessed with the series after reading this book!) and everyone is saying that they LOVE Alex. This makes me scared. I really like Wes and I don't want some new guy swooping in and stealing the show. I am curious to see how I will like Alex in the second book.

Overall, Dirty Blood is such an epic and wonderful book. The writing is fantastic! The characters are fleshed out and realistic and the plot is so engrossing that you will easily find yourself sucked in. To say that I am excited to read book 2, Cold Blood is the understatement of the year. I need to read it right now! My only warning is to not start this book when you have other things you need to do. Dirty Blood is hard to put down!
