Review for Crimson Siege (Blood Riders #1) by Jay Raven: ★★★★★

Crimson Siege by Jay Raven

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::

I was very kindly offered an ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I have given it 5 bloody thirsty stars!

This was my first foray into the world of Jay Raven and it will not be my last!

Crimson Siege was an incredibly exciting read that had me on the edge of my seat from the very first page!
There are no shiny vampires within these page, only fierce monsters who will happily chow down on anyone who stands in their way, especially where their family is concerned. This story almost had a "Van Helsing", with that dark and Gothic feeling reverberating down through the story, adding to the already tense atmosphere.
There were so many different characters in this story that each added something to the tale and complemented it very well, whether you loved them or not!
With so many twists and turns, Crimson Siege was addictive reading and I did not want to put it down, I would recommend this to anyone who liked a good horror story!

In the Godforsaken badlands of Transylvania the fragile truce between mankind and monsters is about to explode... 

When bounty hunters target one of 19th century Europe’s most feared vampire clans, the last place any lawman wants to be is caught in the middle… 

But for Anton Yoska, Lord Marshal of the Imperial lands south of the Carpathian Mountains, fate has trapped him in a supernatural stand-off that can end only in a bloodbath. 

A gang of mercenaries led by Anton’s former army comrade Milosh Drubrick have captured vampire aristocrat Stefan Modjeski, wanted for a string of frenzied murders, and have come to Anton to claim the reward. And as Stefan’s predatory undead kin lay siege to the jailhouse, Anton is faced with an agonising choice - hand over his prisoner and abandon the bounty hunters to their unspeakable fate, or stand and fight. 

The jailhouse defenders are outnumbered and out of options. It’s a battle that can’t be won, certain slaughter for them all, and Anton can’t trust his scheming allies. But Lord Marshal Yoska isn’t about to surrender. 

For he’s an experienced vampire hunter, a dangerous man when cornered, and a single minded warrior who knows there are worse things to fear than death…
