Ilustration To Books Out for Blood (Drake Chronicles #3)
Favourite Quote: "His fangs lengthened, but only a little. I wouldn't even have noticed if I wasn't used to watching for things like that. And it didn't make me nervous for some reason. I wasn't scared, and not just because I had a purse full of small sharp weapons. There was something between us suddenly, and it wasn't merely a secret unraveling."I always have a blast reading The Drake Chronicles and Out for Blood is no exception. There are certain elements that I require for a good vampire tale and this book ticks all the boxes - fast paced plot, action and adventure, witty dialogue and a delicious romance.
First of all this is not your average vampire tale. It has such a unique concept with the Helios-Ra, the hounds, the Host, and the Hel-Blar. In this installment Harvey focuses mostly on the Helio-Ra Academy where they train teenagers the skills to kill vampires. While the writing is good and the plot captures your attention (I devoured it in one day), it is a tad bit predictable. Don't get me wrong, there are some little surprises along the way but you know in the end the guy and the girl are going to up end together and of course save the day. But I like it that way. It is nice to have a series that doesn't need to end of a cliffhanger or with a break up.
Each installment focuses on a different member of The Drake family (expect book one which had Solange and Nicholas Drake). Out For Blood is Quinn Drake and Hunter Wild's story. And let me tell you I have been waiting for Quinn's tale (I have been drooling over him since book 1). Apart from being delicious, he has an energetic attitude and is a big flirt. While Hunter is strong and fierce but a sweetheart. Not only can she kick some butt but she is the type of girl who you would want to be friends with. Quinn and Hunter relationship is filled with lots of flirting making for sizzling chemistry. It also a lot of fun and it is nice change from all those intense paranormal romances.
We also get to visit some of our favourite couples and characters from the previous books. I love getting a glimpse of what is going on in Lucy and Nicholas' lives. I love their snarky but sweet banter toward each other.
Overall, Out for Blood won't disappoint fans of this series.
Here are some other quotes I enjoyed:
"You are actually strutting", Nicholas muttered.
"Just a little. It is good for the soul."
"Quit studying- we haven't even started classes yet. Tell me about the Drake brothers. Are they as yummy as everyone says?"
"Totally." I didn't even have to think about that one. "It was like being in a room full of Johnny Depps. One of them even kind of dressed like a pirate."
Note: Book 4 - Bleeding Hearts will have 3 POV's Connor (Quinn's twin) Christabel (Lucy's cousin) and also Lucy! So excited as I love Lucy and wherever Lucy is Nicholas is sure to be! They are my favourite couple.

The Drakes are the coolest vampires ever written and each Drake brother is proving to be hotter than the next. With loveable characters and dramatic stories the Drake Chronicles are easy to love.Vampires have always been big in pop culture and after Twilight the good vampire has gotten even popular. With so many stories some people might get turned off of the vampire lore, I for one have only every read three vampire stories, the Drake Chronicles being the third. However I feel that AlyxandraAnother fantastic installment in The Drake Chronicles. I think this one might surpass Hearts at Stake as my favorite.After learning all about the Vampires in the first two installments it was nice to experience the world of the Helios-Ra (the hunters!). Much like it's predecessors, Out for Blood is told in alternating perspectives between Quinn and Hunter. We're first introduced to Hunter in Blood Feud when she is a guest at the coronation of Helena Drake. Hunter is best friends with Kieran, and
Trigger warnings: violence, blood. 3.5 stars. Okay, so here's the thing: this series is ridiculous. Like, there are vampires and vampire hunters. But there are also GOOD vampires and BAD vampires and SUPER BAD vampires. The series basically follows the Good Vampires, aka the Drake Family, who have a butt ton of teenaged kids. Each book follows one of the kids falling in love with someone vaguely inappropriate but ultimately perfect for them. This one follows Quinn, who falls for Hunter, who's
(I read this book in Ruling Passion which contains the first three books in the Drake Chronicles series) Number of pages: 292Time it took me to read: 2 daysRating (out of five stars): 5Hello? Give me a little credit. Vampire stealth, remember?Vampire arrogance, you mean.That tooOut for Blood is in the point of view of Hunter and Quinn. I find their story to be really sweet. I also love that there is a lot of action in this book and even a little mystery.Just like the last two books in the
Oh those Drake brothers. They really make you swoon! I liked this one better than the second one, but I still think the best has to be the first one. I am wondering if each book is going to set up the next one by introducing the next girl a drake brother will fall in love with. I think somewhere there will be a book about Chloe falling in love with one of them. Probably the computer Geek. Another great installment to a series I loved as a teenage Vampire loving book nerd.
Thanks to Kieran,Hunter gets to go meet the new royal family-The Drakes.Thats where she meets Quinn-one of the royal vampires.Theres been some kind of disease going around with the Helios-Ra members.Its been spreading from one person to another.Hunter goes to find help from somebody resulting with Quinn.During the mission to find out whats really going on and put a stop to it they fall in love. Ending: Everythings solved.Daileys the one behind the whole TH thing. Spence is saved but a
"Tell me about the Drake Brothers. Are they as yummy as everyone says?" "Totally." I didn't even have to think about that one. "It was like being in a room full of Johnny Depps."If those lines alone don't suck in you in, I don't know what else will...The story centers around Hunter Wild (yeah, I know, awesome name), a star vampire hunter in her last year at the Helios-Ra academy and Quinn Drake, pretty boy vampire prince and infamous womanizer. When the Helios-Ra academy is over run by a
