Exsanguinate Synopsis:
They can’t touch you. What could possibly go wrong at Orlando’s
beloved Global Studios Halloween Scream Nights theme park? Cheyenne
O’Cuinn’s task is to study fear even though she is the biggest chicken
on the planet. In order to carve out a slice of the billion dollar scare
industry for her online role-play company, she researches what causes
people to run screaming out of haunted attractions.
Determined to face her own fear of Oldhouseophobia, Cheyenne confronts
her bloodcurdling obsession - the dreaded haunted house. Her worst
nightmare manifested, Cheyenne is brutally attacked and left for dead by
a rogue vampire. Splattered across the front page of the Orlando
Sentinel, Cheyenne discovers her sisters are missing while she recovers
in the hospital.
The ransom call from the kidnapper sets into motion the rabbit hole of a
parallel supernatural reality she invades to rescue her family. In a
race against the hourglass, Cheyenne confronts a double-agent vampire, a
cyberchondriac werewolf, and a mafioso dragon. Can they be trusted to
help her, or are they a part of the twisted scheme?
With her sister’s lives on the line, Cheyenne has no choice but to beat
the kidnappers at their own game and ensnare them with her own brand of
deception.

My thoughts:
I was excited to read the Exsanguinate - World of Blood Series because of 2 reasons. First is because I was a fan of online gaming. I started playing an online RPG (role playing game) text-based game called Achaea when I was in highschool and then RAN online, an MMORPG type of game, when I was in college. Second is because I am a fan of urban fantasy books, specially those about vampires and werewolves.
Exsanguinate - World of Blood - Book One by Killion Slade made me want to read more. As an avid reader of novels and books about supernatural beings, specially vampires and werewolves, I can say this book is more unique and more interesting than other similar books I've read. I love the character development of Cheyenne, the female protagonist. I also love that there are other new supernatural beings included in the story like dragons. The story doesn't revolve around Cheyenne only, but to the other characters as well.
I am a fast reader so I read this book in 1 sitting. I can't seem to put it down once I started reading it so I just finished it throughout the night. :P Each chapter is shorter compared to other books I've read but it's well paced. I like that in some chapters, other characters in the book are highlighted. Reading Exsanguinate brought me fear (just a little bit, I promise :)), fantasy, romance, action and humor.
I am disappointed though because I was left hanging and craving for the next part of the Exsanguinate series. I can't wait to read the next book in the series on what will happen to Cheyenne, her sisters and her friends.
