About to die during a failed attempt to kill one of the men responsible for her daughter’s death, Justine Kroft is saved by Simone Gireaux, a 350 year old vampire. Justine envies her rescuer’s strength and speed and convinces Simone to make her a vampire, as well. At first Simone is reluctant, but she knows what it means to lose a loved one to brutal murderers.
With the help of Justine’s only true friend, Teresa Diaz (a mortal whose daughter is missing) and Detective Harry Frazer (who has loved Justine for years), Justine and Simone join forces to find and kill the mortal men involved in her daughter’s death. But the real killer is Stephan Sinakov, the self-anointed Master of the Sinakov Vampire Family. In their final confrontation with Sinakov, Justine must make a choice between her daughter and the mortal man whose love for her has put his life on the block.
Revenge and vampires play key roles in Burton's horror-mystery-thriller blend, which follows single mother Justine Kroft's attempts to kill the men who raped and murdered her teen daughter. When Justine's first attack goes awry, Simone Gireaux, a centuries-old French vampire, steps in at the last moment to rescue her, and Justine soon persuades Simone to turn her undead. What follows is a fast-paced, mildly entertaining vengeance quest that quickly broadens from a simple murder case to a conspiracy with sinister blood-sucker Stephan Sinakov at its core. Purple prose ("his eyes... glistened as if permanently ready to overflow with tears, as if hurt and sadness lurked behind them") and vampire clichés mar the narrative a bit, but tight plotting and memorable characters help keep the blood from completely congealing. (Oct.)

Grab your favorite beverage and take a seat, my contemporary urban vampire novel review of Blood Justice follows.
CHARACTERS, PLOTTING, AND DEVELOPMENT:
Firstly, let me say, how much I enjoyed this novel. An original story-line, Author David Burton crafted a first-rate vampire thriller. Burton filled this novel full of emotion, and developed those emotions throughout the book. I could feel the anguish and desperation of Justine as the mother of a brutally murdered child. I could feel her resolve for vengeance and her need to become more to fulfill her resolve. Portraying the evil and cruel side of vampirism, Burton skillfully developed his vampire characters.
Also, including a human love interest for Justine was a stroke of genius. In almost all vampire novels, the love interest of the heroine's a tall, dark, handsome vampire, Burton changed up the standard premise for Blood Justice. Filled with nonstop action, the reader's brought further and further into Justine's world as he creates heroines worthy to fight the evil invading their world.
Additionally, in concluding my contemporary urban vampire novel review of Blood Justice, Burton included a few surprises near the end of the story. I would not hesitate to buy this book for anyone who enjoys vampire thrillers.
BLOOD JUSTICE RECOMMENDATION: STARS 4
In addition, I gave Blood Justice 4 well-deserved stars. This novel's well-written, with well-developed characters, an original premise and non-stop thrills. Although, Blood Justice includes love scenes and Burton crafted the scenes with skill. I recommend this novel for young adults and adults due to violence and love scenes.
FINALLY, PLEASE NOTE:
Additionally, I received this book from the author and chose to voluntarily review the book with an honest contemporary urban vampire novel review. Lastly, book reviews of any novel are dependent on the book review author's opinion. Consequently, all book reviews on-line and on my blog, are my opinions. In addition, the ARC did not affect my voluntary contemporary urban vampire novel review.
