I was gifted this one as a giveaway winner. While I don’t normally read vampire fiction, I was up for the chance to “meet” new characters. And I was surprised how much I liked how Amy and Katie discovered a world of creatures masked as humans but were really vampires. It’s a thriller for sure, and I didn’t see all of the twists coming. But I found I lost a bit of interest 3/4 of the way through, perhaps because the part I enjoyed most of finding out who were the vampires and how they survived ha...

the Cull – Bloodline is the first book in ‘the Cull’ series by Eric J. Gates, and what a great thriller it was! When I read the word vampire, I was hesitant as that is not my type of genre, but this book by far exceeded my expectations. It begins with Amy’s dismissal from the FBI, and while we get to know her, we meet her new partner, Katie, who I loved right off the bat with her English accent and computer skills. The first couple of chapters were riveting, and it doesn’t stop there. The pace b...

Wow, this hunter becomes the hunted thriller should be a movie. Two female FBI agents bring a whole new twist to a vampire story which also involves the Vatican, government corruption, a serial killer, and a bit of paranormal. Action starts with what seems like a miracle cure, then speeds into a nonstop read of twists, turns and surprises. Very original, a fiendishly clever new take which I’d love to see on Netflix. Now I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. Well done, five stars!

HuntedThe Cull: Bloodline is my first audiobook, where the genre and scope of the story just hit the mark with me in terms of this being a mystery thriller involving a serial killer, and an element of paranormal horror.Amy Bree has a unique analytical mind for seeing patterns and connections, and with her computer whizz colleague Ralph, they’re employed by the FBI to study crimes and criminal patterns. Ralph introduces them to the files of a particularly gruesome serial killer, nicknamed the Blo...

I'm not into thrillers. Although I enjoy the odd movie with a fast-paced story line, good plot and solid characters, my reading tastes lean more toward sci-fi, fantasy and horror.So I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up Cull, Bloodline and began reading... and carried on reading. I honestly thought since it wasn't anything in my usual genres, that I would have to force my way through it, but this was far from true.I only have praise for this book.Mr Gates' tagline is that he writes thrille...

I couldn't put it down!The Cull Bloodline, starts off getting to know one of the main characters, Amy. Who she is and how and why she became a federal agent with the government. I really like the author's writing style of explaining a situation without being too wordy. It allowed the author to give as much information and more detail of this vampire thriller. Eric even made the computer jargon understandable and I know nothing about computers, how about that.I don't want to give any spoilers awa...

Eric J. Gates' "The Cull - Bloodline" is a vampire book with a difference.Instead of being presented with the sparkly vampires of "Twilight" fame, or swimming in the overfished waters of the Vlad legend, we are here given the vampire-as-serial-killer motif. Expunge from your mind the tired cliches of fangs and crucifixes. Gates' vampires are creatures of genetic mutation, and all the more deadly for that. No airy-fairy mysticism here, just blood, knives, bullets and the thrill of the chase. But ...

Amy Bree and Ralph Graham work for the FBI, but not as a Special Agent as they want. They work behind the scenes helping the FBI create computer programs/systems to help solve crime/looking for patterns in crimes. During one of his assignments, Ralph does some work for the Behavioral Analysis Unit Team where he comes across the files about a particularly gruesome serial killer case that has been nicknamed the Blood Sucker by the press and also has the Unit stumped. Amy and Ralph decide to look a...

I must admit that when I first picked up this book I didn’t know what to expect. It looked intriguing so I decided to give it a go. I was pleasantly surprised, enjoying every word that I read. I was captivated throughout the novel by all of the suspense and mystery hidden behind the words. This book is James Patterson meets Dan Brown, while remaining entirely unique.Gates’ writing style dictates your mood towards the story. At times he uses short, choppy sentences, making the action seem even mo...
