There are several subplots in Blood Rock, mostly relating to Dakota’s person life. The authors descriptions are vivid so the story has a visual element (if you have the imagination.) I loved the whole storyline and the conclusion is spectacular. I won’t even pretend to understand the mathematical concepts Francis uses to explain how it works (mixed with a healthy dose of magic) but it all seemed to make sense to me. The concept of magical graffiti is fabulous and the author has obviously put a lot of thought into it. Dakota is called in to consult by her uncle, since the tags seem to be using a magic similar to that used by tattoo artists, but she is out of her depth. Graffiti tags all over Atlanta are coming alive, trapping unwary humans, weres, and vampires including Revenance who is killed. This is a fast paced, action packed story that has Dakota frantically juggling murderous wall murals, a rebellious daughter, a pissed off Vampire Queen, a vampire lover, the Atlanta PD and her eccentric skindancer master. Having just finished Frost Moon I was happy to start Blood Rock on it’s heels, which picks up the story just a few weeks later.īlood Rock throws Dakota straight into a new magical crisis. Status: Read from September 21 to 23, 2011 - I own a copy If the graffiti isn’t stopped, Cinnamon could be the next victim. Saving Atlanta may cost her everything, including custody of her “adopted” weretiger daughter, Cinnamon. Dakota begins a harrowing journey to save those she loves and to discover the truth behind the spreading graffiti-even if that truth offends the vampires, alienates the werekin and creates police suspicion of her every action. The hungry, graffiti magick loves to kill, and the Edgeworld is no longer safe from its own kind.

Deadly magick is at work on the city’s walls, challenging even the amazing power of Dakota’s tattoos to contain it. Graffiti comes to life in the dark heart of Atlanta’s oldest cemetery, slaying one of the city’s best loved vampires before the eyes of his friend Dakota Frost. Synopsis: Dakota Frost is back, and the ink is about to hit the fan-again.
