Book Blurb:

My Review:
A fearful mob murdered his beloved for witchcraft, but he's given a second chance at love. Nikolai watched in horror as his beloved Isabella burned at the stake for witchcraft. After he turned into a vampire, he wreaked revenge on all those responsible but his soul aches for her. For two centuries he waits and one day he finally finds his beloved. He approaches her, willing her to remember him. When she does remember, he kisses her. Now that he's found her, he won't let anything happen to her. But when a wicked storm repeats a fiery trap reminiscent of the past, will he save her in time?
Blood Tears is a magical paranormal romance from start to finish. Alyna Lochlan creates an interesting dynamic by starting the book with a fear-crazed mob kidnapping a woman accused of witchcraft and burning her at the stake. It really set the tone for this emotional story. The panic, guilt, and grief Nikolai feels were poignantly described in Blood Tears. The descriptive narration and the POVs were intense so the reader truly gets to experience every moment in the story. I connected with Nikolai right away. The plot moves at a good pace. Since the story is short, there's a small cast of characters. Don't be dissuaded, this is a complete paranormal romance. This is my first book by this author, and I was engrossed in the story and even thought about it long after I finished reading. I now have to go read more by Alyna Lochlan. If you love steamy paranormal romance, pick up Blood Tears. If vampire romances are your reading jam, you'll be captivated by Blood Tears. Highly recommend!
