Centuries ago a war was born between man and wolf.  As the wolves started to perish in great numbers, the Great Spirit guide of the Inuit, Singarti, made it possible for the wolves to turn into humans; for this was the only way their species would survive.  The human Slayers still hunt the Lycan, to this day.

Brother’s torn apart by treachery; Rafael and Lucien are the last remaining hope for the survival of the Lycan’s.  Both born Alpha’s, yet one must take a mate and conceive. Until they do none of the females in their pack will conceive.  Rafael knows he must take a mate for the future of his pack but he never expected his mate to be human or find her in the middle of a Slayer battle.

Falon Corbett is Lycan and Slayer yet she doesn’t know it.  All she knows is that there are some crazy people trying to take her.  Falon has an iron will and she’s nobody’s tool, she will fight for her survival.  She doesn’t know whether the guy who takes her is her savior or a kidnapper.  Rafael makes her melt and infuriates her at the same time.  She is determined to leave him but keeps getting pulled back into his arms and there is this mysterious Blood Law hanging over her head   Perhaps if she could get some answers from the indomitable Alpha she could make a decision about her future; if she even has one.

Blood Law is a sensuous erotic feast with an intense story of epic proportions; this is the stuff legends are made of!  I can definitely see where this story could go either way with people.  Some people may not be ready for this type of story.  Blood Law is not your traditional paranormal love story.  Karin Tabke breaks the standard paranormal shifter mold and creates a unique unforgettable story that will inhabit your mind and keep you guessing even after the last page.  Shockingly an erotic writer has decided not to make the hero and heroine fall in love at first sight and then mate like crazy for the rest of the story.  I like that formula as well but Blood Law takes things to a new and interesting level.  Blood Law features layer after layer of gripping storytelling.  The mythology takes you on an enchanted ride revealing the depth of story and engaging the reader.

Brother against brother has never looked so good.  Rafael and Lucien’s story is heartbreaking.  I want these two to be the brothers they were supposed to before the darkness came their way.  The dynamic between them is like being on a razor’s edge.  I had no idea what to expect from page to page and that is thrilling!  I loved Rafael’s battle between duty and love.  Lucien’s lust for revenge is harsh and encompassing but I can’t seem to hate him.  When you throw Falon into the situation it would seem she could become a pawn to be tossed around at other’s whims but Falon’s not that kind of girl.  Falon is a fiery woman about to discover exactly what she’s capable of.  I can’t wait to learn what happens next to all of these enthralling characters!  I will be counting down the days until the second book in the Blood Moon Rising series arrives.

Blood Law’s avant-garde storytelling sets these pages ablaze!  I am absolutely Joyfully Recommending Blood Law because I can’t get this story out of my head.  I cannot wait to see what is coming for these characters.  Be prepared Blood Law grips you at the beginning and will leave you breathless by the end!
