Is his soul lost forever? Or can she show him the light? Raven Worth hunts the living every night. Their blood is his sustenance, and his appetite is insatiable. He is cursed to live this way forever-immortal, yet never truly fulfilled. But when Raven stumbles upon a traveling evangelist and his family at a big tent revival, he finds himself enraptured not only by their message of hope but also by Calandra, the evangelist's beautiful daughter. Betrothed to another man with her parents' blessing, Calandra cannot deny her sudden attraction to Raven. Though she should fear Raven because of what he is, she finds herself hopelessly drawn to him more with each approaching sunset. As Raven and Calandra grapple with their feelings and Raven's newfound faith, an ongoing manhunt for a dangerous criminal sends shockwaves tearing through their lives. Soon they each face a series of heartbreaking choices that will determine their fates forever. Can Raven break the chains of his dark past and be reborn in the light? Will Calandra remain on the lifelong path her parents have laid out for her? Or will the two of them join together at the dawn of a new day, eternally changed? Blood for Blood is Ben Wolf's award-winning debut novel, originally published in 2014 and now re-vamped. This blend of classic vampire lore, romance, action, and faith elements in the historical setting of 1885 creates a gripping story that will leave you breathless. Get it now.

I‘m not religious but I am a fan of vampire stories, and this one was really quite unique. Basically, Christianity saved Raven‘s soul, and he gradually (through good deeds and faith) became human again. Physiologically, not sure that makes a whole lot of sense but you know. I was pleasantly surprised that the romance between Raven and Calandra was so chaste throughout. I think Luco turning out to be a vampire actually dampened the story a bit.
