Countdown to Babylon - A Drop of Red by Chris Marie Green

Vampire Babylon Series - Book 4

Chris Marie Green's Vampire Babylon Series is gutsy! Dilemmas faced by the characters are an interesting mix of the supernatural and reality, keeping the story line grounded despite some very odd situations and/or encounters. Readers will be able to relate to seeing a friend struggling with addiction, or a family coping with the emotions and fallout resulting from a failed marriage. Chris Marie Green does a phenomenal job at incorporating such real world issues into the context of a world where vampires and other supernatural phenomenon can and do exist.

A Drop of Red is the first installment of a new story arc within the Vampire Babylon series. While a new reader to the series will miss out on a portion of the character developments, evolutions, and the history behind various relationships, the overall story line is new and it is not necessary to read the first arc to understand the second. Those who have read the first arc will find a radically different direction in this new story line as the power is shifting and changing among characters. New readers beware, as the first installment in the second arc of the series, there will be questions left unanswered at the conclusion of A Drop of Red.

From the Publisher
If you run out of vampires to destroy at home, there's always work overseas...
Hollywood stuntwoman-turned-vampire-hunter Dawn Madison, along with her comrades, managed to wipe out the Los Angeles Vampire Underground-and uncovered not only her own dark family heritage but also a terrible truth about the man she loves. Now she's determined to find the next vampire lair, hoping it will help her to make more sense out of her life.

When a new Underground is found in England, Dawn and a vampire-fighting team are dispatched to carry the fight to the enemy in London. Dawn knows by now how deceiving appearances can be-and she is about to find out that it's not only the beautiful people of Hollywood who are willing to bargain with evil...
