In The Blood Society, Sammy is a hunter, but not just any hunter. She's the young heiress to the entire D.O.V.E. (Department of Vampire Extermination). But she's struggling with the loss of her parents as well as her partner, and her grief causes her to make some pretty poor life choices. Can Todd (her parents' best friend and the man in charge) and the new recruit he's forced her to train pull her out of her despair and back into the real world?

I have to admit, I didn't like Sammy much for a lot of the book. Here she is, the one who is supposed be taking over the company tasked with protecting humans, and all she can do is wallow in her self-pity. But she grew on me by the end of the book, and I realize that this grief was a big part of her character. Without giving too much away, we'll just say that she has a couple false-starts and epiphanies that make you think she's going to be ready to step up. But she is ultimately still young and sorting through her pain while also trying to figure out who she really is.

This book, while predictable, was an enjoyable paranormal romance with a completely different take on vampires and how they were created. I can't say that any of the twists honestly surprised me - in fact I called most of them really early on in the book. But I still give this one ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 stars for being an enjoyable read in one of my favorite genres.
