📝 Description: Bloodline

Jody Lagreca’s Bloodline concludes the acclaimed BLOODLESS Series by returning to the swinging 1960s. The narrative centers on Daniel Peck, a vampire over one hundred years old, who reconnects with Georgia Gigi Carrington, a young artist whose blood type matches his specific needs. Their past romance had ended in a bitter dispute, but fifty years later, their reunion proves explosive and dangerous. Daniel currently lives at the Stardust Inn with his partner Annie Julliard, a motel proprietor, and their children, Clarice and Louis. The family faces a crisis when Annie’s nearby house, known as Vampire Ville, is threatened with repossession. In response, Annie declares her intent to turn Wall Street into Blood Street to reclaim her home. A subsequent financial argument leads Daniel to leave the household. This final installment draws on gothic horror traditions and supernatural fiction elements. It suits readers who enjoy complex family dynamics mixed with vampire lore. Those seeking lighthearted romance or purely historical accounts without magical elements may find the tone unsuitable. The story resolves long-standing character arcs through a bloodcurdling conclusion.
