After surviving a vampire assassin (not to mention an awkward affair with a hot FBI agent that ended worse than she could have imagined), witch/vampire hybrid Nina Martinez is reunited with the full Blood Ops team in Providence, Rhode Island. Her Aunt Babe is tutoring her in all things witchcraft, and her vampire partner Frankie is enjoying the benefits of daywalking, courtesy of a demon spell.
When a segment of the Rhode Island vampire population is marked for death by a tainted blood supply, Nina and her team race to find Patient Zero before the local vampire population is wiped out. But when a demon infestation threatens to take control of the city, Nina must join forces with newly elected mayor—and closet demon— Ami Bertrand before the city falls into ruin.
Filled with fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat action, Nina and her group of supernatural misfits battle a surprising new enemy that threatens their very existence.
No wonder she still can’t get a date.

One of my complaints in the first book of this series was the lack of background info on this World. At approximately the 82% mark in this second book, I read the following:"They created some serious monsters to do the Cold War dirty work, and then, not knowing what to do with them when the conflict was over, simply unleashed these same deprived creatures into an unsuspecting world. Blood Ops was created to clean up their mess."
Things would have been much more enlightening to readers if this little morsel had been at the beginning of Book 1. So this helps resolve my first complaint. Another issue I had with the first book was the Heroine not acting her age, being as she's a real inept hybrid. Sorry to say, she hasn't improved with this book--I actually think she's worse. The plot had a nice twist at the end, but unfortunately it then turned into the cliche 'Must keep the Bad Guy from revealing the Supernatural to the Humans' scenario.
I'm not sure if I'm willing to continue to the next book, as this was just an "OK" read for me.

Tainted Blood Hell Belle Book 2 eBook Karen Greco Reviews
I really enjoyed the first book in this series but the 2nd one was a huge disappointment. The smart and snarky heroine became a whining teenager who is letting everyone walk all over her. She keeps on acting all tough and then with just a little pushing she immediately does exactly what she just swore she wouldn't. If that wasn't bad enough, the book keeps on going over the events that happened in the first book, for pages at a time! I felt very cheated...it's one thing to mention what happened in the previous story but it's another too keep repeating parts of the first story almost word for word. I only lasted through about a third of the book before giving up!
Goodness gracious what happened? I loved the first book, Hell's Belles, but this book?? Good grief, could it be any more boring than it was? I had to drag myself through the first nine chapters and gave up and quit reading it. I read a lot of urban fantasy, and if you don't look forward to picking up a book and reading it, give it up which I did. I could not get interested in the story. How many times did we have to hear about the booze and what kind of booze she was pouring and she had to go down and get the booze and on and on and forget it! I quit! What a waste of my hard earned money! I hate when that happens. You pay for something and it bores you to tears!
I am not one of those people that can remember details from books I have read, unless I am reading a series back to back. So I may remember wanting to read the next in a series, but I don't necessarily remember why. I knew I loved Hell's Belle, the previous book in this series, and had been keeping half an eye out for the next one to come out, so I was really pleased when I saw it was now published. It didn't take me long to realize why I wanted to read it. The main reason being, how fun the whole read was. Laugh out loud moments, and snark can be fun in urban fantasy for sure.
Nina is a half vampire, half witch, who is working for a secret government agency that is tasked with cleaning up the messes that supernatural creatures cause. Her partner is Frankie, an old but still young and handsome looking, vampire. He cares about Nina a lot, more then Nina is comfortable with at times. Max is a recent recruit to the agency. He's still FBI, but since being turned by a demon in the last book, to berserker, he now works for both agencies. Nina and Max had a short lived thing in the last book, but that's all over with now. Or maybe not? This time around, Nina, Max and Frankie are forced by a demon, into being a protective detail for a rock star that's coming to town. Whenever the band plays, deaths and destruction follow. The rocker also happens to be Nina's cousin, one that she has never met. To make matters worse, someone is supplying beta vampires with tainted blood, and they are dropping like flies.
"Men. They wont ask for directions, but they'll ask a demon for a favor" is just one of the many snarky thoughts in Nina's head. I loved her sarcastic mouth, and thoughts so much, because they provide so many laugh out loud moments in this book. There are many of these moments, but the book is also very serious at times. People die, demons possess, and beta vampires literally explode. Mayhem literally reigns in the city at times. Through it all, Nina is a kick ass main character that thinks everything has to be done by her or it wont get done. I love Frankie's character as well. He was my favorite from the last book, and he still is. He has recently been given the ability to daywalk by a demon, and discovered the mall and shopping. That made for some of the lighter moments as well. Max is a total alpha male, and still getting used to his berserker side. There are lots of other good characters, Darcy, Nina's best friend, and a banshee, Casper(nickname), an eighteen year old ghost witch, that jumps in and out of Nina's body, and Bertrand, the demon mayor, are just a few more of the characters that round out this book.
As you can probably tell, the world building is extensive, and very thought out by the author. Most of it is doled out in little snippets, but at times we do get longer explanations as needed. I found this to be a well written, and interestingly plotted book. The ending had me chomping at the bit to get the next one asap, but I guess I just will have to wait patiently. If you decide to read this, make sure you have time to read, because it really does draw you in really fast. Adult urban fantasy fans are probably the target audience, but I think people that just like a fun read, with lots of action might also enjoy.(RabidReads.com)

This book was quite good. Even though it wasn't the first book of the series, I had no problem understanding and following the storyline. I would have given this book a solid 4 stars but it kept repeating some of the same information as though the author forgot having mentioned it in a previous area, making it iritating to the reader. Also, there was some minor inconsistency with Nina (lead character) in regards to her vampire related strengths. Specifically, at times Nina was able to do some amazing physcial things yet in previous sections she was unable to do something of less physical prowess due to her "living vampire" state. Enough of the negatives which I might add were actually minor and few. Nina is a great character as well as her supporting cast. The book has a romance story embroiled with 2 larger stories but it only adds to the other stories so in other words, it actually has a plot which I find refreshing. Nina's duality of person is also refreshing; she is part vampire and part witch who is independent and with family issues. The book started strong, throwing the reader into an action scene, as well as ending strong with some major familiar revelations and "world-changing" happenings. Now I really want to get the first book to have more of Nina's family story as well as see a next book of the series.
