Blood and Fire by Carrie Clevenger & Nerine Dorman
Review by Gabryyl Pierce
5 of 5 stars
Blood and Fire is the new novella collaboration between authors Carrie Clevenger and Nerine Dorman, following 2011’s Just My Blood Type.Clevenger's character, Xan Marcelles, is a vampire and bass player in Crooked Fang, a rock band who play in a bar in Colarado. Dorman’s Ashton Kennedy is an Inkarna (a body thief) who was a woman in his past life. Ash and Xan are soon teaming up to defeat a cult of Egyptian sorcerers.
Dorman and Clevenger have done an amazing job with this novella, integrating their respective characters and worlds while staying true to their own voices. The story is fast-paced and well written and is a welcome addition to my library. Both characters will be reappearing soon in their own novels: Clevenger's Crooked Fang and Dorman's Inkarna.
