Product Description

Genevieve Taylor is a Sidhe, one of the noble fae, and she's unusual, even in present-day London where celebrity vampires, eccentric goblins and scheming lesser fae mix freely with the human population. Genny is a rising star at Spellcrackers.com, where she finds the M' in magic - and that invariably leads to mischief, malice and - too often - murder. Spellcrackers.com is affiliated to the Witch Council, whose ancient tenets prohibit any contact with vampires. Genny also works as a volunteer at a clinic which treats victims of vampire attacks. Then there's her extra-curricular activity, extracting vulnerable fae lured by the local fang gangs. Genny certainly doesn't wants any closer involvement with the vampire community. But when Mr October, one of the hot calendar pin-up vamps, is accused of violently murdering his girlfriend, Genny's called on to repay an old debt and prove his innocence. And that means consorting with some of the sexiest vamps in London! THE SWEET SCENT OF BLOOD is the first book of SPELLCRACKERS.COM, a sexy, sassy new series guaranteed to spice up your reading life!

Customer Reviews

Great start for a new urban fantasy series
A very good book that has the potential to become an excellent series. And set in London which instantly gives a few bonus points to British readers of urban fantasy - currently I feel I know Seattle better than London and I lived in London for 18 years!
Great characters, led by Genny, the part sidhe, part other things (so as not to spoil it) and great locations - I loved the fact that Suckertown was really Greenwich. Lots of potential to develop in different directions.
My only debate is that it needs aspects of light to go with the dark - if it is permanent gloom and doom then you have no contrast to compare the terrible things with the good or happy things. In this it reminded me of Rachel Caine's Morganville Vampires series. For that alone I gave it 4*.

if you like vampires you will love this
A cracking debut and the first in a series .Definitely a must for lovers of vampire stories. Genny works for Spellcrackers.com which is run by witches and when investigating a murder she has to infiltrate the vampire Society (and Goblins too). Very Well written and gripping right from the start and through to the finish.An absolute must read for fans of Stephanie Meyer.If the next book in the series is as good as this one, then I am definitely hooked.

The Sweet Scent of Victory
Suzanne McLeeod has created a great read with The Sweet Scent of Blood.

The story is about Genny a Sidhe fae who works for Spellcrackers.com. An organisation run by Witches which provides Genny with protection from Vampires. Roberto aka Mr October aka Bobby a sexy vampire calander pin up is accused of the murder of Melissa his girlfriend. Genny is forced to investigate the mysterious death. This plunges Genny into the vampire world, a world that she is desperate to avoid at all costs. In the course of the investigation Gennys life is put on the line constantly. Her job is at risk and with her job in jeopardy the Witches protection it affords is forfeit. There are one or two secret that Genny is desperate do not see the light of day and unfortunately it is not only Genny's neck on the line but all her friends as well.

I highly recommend this book and found that from page one I was engrossed. The only problem I had with the book was that in some places you really have to concentrate as you may loose vital plot threads. For that reason I was considering giving this book four stars but overall the book was such a good read that I could not bring myself to do so. I highly recommend this book and think it is a great addition to the genre and have already pre-ordered the second in the series. Happy reading.
