Bonded by Blood 
 First Line: Mackenzie Foster - Shaw spotted the cemetery sign at the last minute and squeezed the brakes, spinning out her white Triumph motorcycle in a spray of dirt and gravel. 
 Why the Mad Scientist read this book: 
 I needed a adult fix and this book was it. Thanks the the lovely people at NetGalley and Harlequin I was able to get this fix early. With this in mind it had no effect on my already effected brain. 
 Concotion of a review: 
 Bonded by Blood was a wonderful debut novel & scrumptious beginning of the Sweetblood series by Laurie London. It starts off with dear Mackenzie taking pictures in various cemetaries. (I right then this book was for me, vampires & morbid cemetary.) But what will her wondering eyes find? Well, one simply to die for delicious hunk of a vampire who has been injuried by a silver bullet. She is drawn to him in a cautious way but he is drawn to her by her overpowering rare and extremely addictive sweetblood. You can't help your sweet tooth & neither could he. 
 From that point she felt odd, especially when she was missing a day of her life. Where did it go? Then she found herself oddly attracted to a stranger. The connection she feels for him is overpowering her stubborn rational self. Which may be a good thing for her. She quickly learns about a world that she never knew about & possibly were she belongs in it. 
 Bonded by Blood was crazy mad hot when it came to the wonderful chemistry between Dom and Mackenzie. These two pulled and pushed into each other in and tenseful passoinate way. I loved it! Laurie London builds their intense relationship slowly and explosive at the same time. Seems to be hypercrytical? It is hard to explain but too true. 
 The love scences were hot and steamy, just the way I like them. Nothing was over done, over the top, or reused when it came to Dom and Mackenzie's body twisting scences. 
 The world Laurie London created was also very believable. Behind a paranormal book there is a lore and this one was well thought out and developed nicely explaining everything that needed to be layed out so the reader, or the Mad Scientist, would not be too confused or left in the dark. We also learn of the world along with Mackenzie so the shock and wonder goes hand and hand. 
 Dislikes? Not really. If I had to pick something I would have to say that I wish Mackenzie kept more of the hardcore attitude as the story went on but I didn't think about it until after the story was over. We will see about book two. 
 Overall, Bonded by Blood was a story with a new twist of a vampire/human romance that had me flipping through pages faster then I could read them. I was recommending the book and now I'm stuck waiting for more Sweetblood action even longer then noraml since this book isn't even out yet!!!
