Blood Runners Book 2

This is the second book in Rhyannon Byrd's "Blood Runners" series.  Loving this series!  This one is Jeremy and Jillian's story.  Jillian is the pack Spirit Leader and healer.  She is a witch and inherited her position from her mother.  Jeremy knew that Jillian was his life mate as soon as he met her after her return from school.  She was only eighteen and afraid of what it would m

A perfect followup to book one in the series.  Jeremy and Jillian are as appealing as hero and heroine as Mason and Torry.

In Book Two of the Blood Runners half/breed Jeremy Burns must reclaim his heritage and rejoin the pack in order to find the traitor within.

Jillian Murphy is the pack's healer/witch (Spirit Walker), and the mate who rejected Jeremy ten years before, after some of the locals set Jeremy up.

Jeremy and Jillian must work together if they wish to save the innocents.

Coming home, Jeremy Burns realized his life had all been an act.

     I had some difficulty at the beginning of the story getting into it, but it was because of how I was feeling than the story itself.  While I was fighting a bad case of reader's slump, I was also somewhat frustrated with Jillian's refusal to see that Jeremy was more than his reputation.  Now, this is by no means anyone's fault... Jillian was a very strong character and I felt like telling her to stop listening to what everyone else was saying and listen to her heart.  So glad that she listened....  
    As in the first book, there is a lot of action and tension... these stories could be labelled as paranormal thrillers; there's so much going on behind the scenes.  But the romance is very much the main focus ~ and it's very well portrayed; a strong hero and a heroine to match, and even though they are very much mates, they are people in their own right and need to learn to give themselves to their love.  I also like the closer look that we get into the life, the definition of the pack ~ as well as the people that are part of it.  Great and varied characters; good and evil; coming to terms with a past and a romance that won't let either Jeremy or Jillian give less than themselves.

RATING:
Excellence: Great to Excellent ~ 3.5 stars
Steaminess: Sensual
