Goodreads Synopsis:
A blood-pounding tale of an unorthodox alliance between a vampire and an exorcist!
“Bloody” Mary, a vampire with a death wish, has spent the past 400 years chasing down a modern-day exorcist named Maria who is thought to have inherited “The Blood of Maria” and is the only one who can kill Mary. To Mary’s dismay, Maria doesn’t know how to kill vampires. Desperate to die, Mary agrees to become Maria’s bodyguard until Maria can find a way to kill him.
“Mary” finally appears before Maria, who can't bring himself to ask about what happened on the night his father died. While Maria is unable to face the truth, “Mary” offers him a deal: if Maria can get Mary to recall the forgotten memories of Mary’s past, “Mary” will reveal what happened the night his father died. Meanwhile, Hydra, who has also come to England, has a reunion with the skeleton of “Mary” in an old castle…

Review:
This series is definitely getting darker, the further we go. We're
learning more about who “Mary” is, and even Mary gets some of his
memories back regarding that. This also means that Mary and Maria
being around each other is growing more dangerous, when we find out
that vampires like him are destined to kill Maria. We also get glimpses
of what Lady Hydra is doing, and her words are rather unsettling. And
finally, the cliffhanger.
I am quite enjoying this series so far, and it's getting more and
more interesting. I must also comment on the intensifying sexual
moments between Mary and Maria. There are a few here that... they're
getting more intimate, and it's weird, but I'm definitely not against
it. Especially that extra chapter at the end? Oh man.
I'm excited for the next one.
