𝒪𝓃𝓁𝓎 𝒽ℯ𝓇 𝓁ℴ𝓋ℯ 𝒸𝒶𝓃 ℯ𝓃𝒹 𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒹𝒶𝓂𝓃𝒶𝓉𝒾ℴ𝓃. When Devin lost his love, Abigail, to the eighteenth-century witch trials, he was sure he had lost his only chance at love and being released from his immortal curse. But his return to Louisiana almost three centuries later fills him with hope once more after he tastes his truelove’s blood in another. Salena Saunders has always disregarded New Orleans’ plethora of paranormal legends until her lineage begins to haunt her. After a brazen encounter with a handsome stranger inside a phone booth, he begins stalking her under the veil of night like a carnal predator. He promises her no harm, yet he dominates her body at will, leaving her helpless to resist his mysterious voodoo. After learning about local women who were found exsanguinated with bite marks similar to the ones blemishing her alabaster skin, Salena’s fantasy turns into a nightmare. She suddenly realizes her alluring lover is a monster she has never believed in, but now she must. Desperate for answers, Salena visits the French Quarter to consult a Voodoo priestess and a Gypsy fortuneteller. Both point the frightened woman to her ancestry to solve the enigma enveloping her. Devin will let no mortal or immortal stop him from convincing Salena of their intertwined destinies. He will destroy the entities trying to shield her from him as well as the one who desires her blood and the vengeance it would deliver—his sadistic long-lost brother, Gabriel.
Dark Ink Tattoo is a steamy paranormal romance series in the vein of Sons of Anarchy or True Blood if everyone in them was a werewolf, vampire, and queer. Angela: I know fear well. It’s had me looking over my shoulder since the day I ran from The Pack, Nevada’s most dangerous werewolf motorcycle gang. As a single mom I’ve had seven years to build a life and my tattoo parlor with the help of my best artist, Jack. But I’m living on borrowed time. My biker ex-boyfriend may still be in prison, but that won’t stop him from getting what he wants—our son. Jack: I want her, I crave her, but as a vampire, I know I can never have her. So I wait and watch from the shadows. But when a friend is murdered by the same gang that’s threatening Angela, I vow that they will never touch her. Their blood will be mine first. She’s a wolf backed into a corner. He’s a vampire on a tight leash. Welcome to Dark Ink Tattoo, where needles aren't the only things that bite. Keyword note: Blood of the Pack is perfect for people who miss Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire Series, featuring Sookie Stackhouse, which True Blood was based on...only everyone in it is bisexual and it's 5/5 spice.
The word “blood” awakens ancient ideas, but we know little about its historical representation in Western cultures. Anthropologists have customarily studied how societies think about the bodily substances that unite them, and the contributors to this volume develop those questions in new directions. Taking a radically historical perspective that complements traditional cultural analyses, they demonstrate how blood and kinship have constantly been reconfigured in European culture. This volume challenges the idea that blood can be understood as a stable entity, and shows how concepts of blood and kinship moved in both parallel and divergent directions over the course of European history.
