Review - Blood Line by Rie McGaha

Truck driver Joshua Kaine and his wife, Jessie, enjoy the freedom of the open road, until the night Josh is attacked by a rabid dog. Josh kills the animal, but his and Jessie's troubles have only just begun.

Following the attack, Josh becomes deathly ill, but three weeks later he's feeling much better - much stronger - much more alive. When the moon rises full and bright, Josh experiences the change for the first time, his body morphing into that of a large, gray wolf. His appetite - for both food and sex - is enormous, and he spends every waking moment feeding his hunger.

Jessie doesn't know what's come over her husband, but she's not complaining. At least, not until a clan of werewolves comes after her and her family, intent upon seeking revenge for the death of their leader.

From a remote mountaintop to the swamps of Louisiana, Josh searches for a solution to their dilemma, but time is running out. When the absolute worst happens, Josh is forced to turn the tables and the hunted becomes the hunter.

Josh and Jessie Kaine have an uncoventional lifestyle. As truckers, they enjoyed the freedom of the open road and the ability to spend all their time with each other making them a very close couple. When Josh is attacked and bitten one night by what he believes is a rabid dog, he refuses treatment, prefering to let Jessie care for him instead. When his fever is more than she can handle, Jessie takes Josh to the nearest hospital for treatment. At the point of death, Josh has a complete amazing recovery. He is voracious in all his appetites, but Jessie's take is roll with it. But will this change drive them apart or even closer? Can they survive the hate and revenge unleased by the pack of werewolves bent on destroying them? A great read, this book will have you on the edge of your seat every minute. Rie McGaha is a master of sexual tension and suspense, making Blood Line, one you need to read
