"Nothing is easier than self-deceit.
For what each man wishes, than he also believes to be true."
- Demosthenes
As the first book in the epic One Blood Series, Blood Junky sets the stage to an original tale of vampires. Culled from over 15 years of research and development, the book is an easy introduction into the vibrant and realistic world of vampirism that Stavros has crafted. More of a psychological thriller, Blood Junky spans the globe, telling a unique tale of obsession and love from two distinct time periods in the life of the main character, Linnet Pevensey.
Blood Junky’s lyrical fiction is flawlessly woven with historically accurate places, people, and events, which is just one of the reasons why the book has been called “one of the best vampire novels ever written…I think that this one has the potential to become a new classic in the genre.” (Lori Bowland; LivingDeadMedia.com Review 2011) Blood Junky establishes new pathos and mythos for the immortal bloodsucker that present a more logical, and scientifically plausible, reality for how vampires could truly exist. Though each book of the One Blood series was conceived as part of an ever-widening, ever-increasing story line, Blood Junky is self-contained and can be read independently.
Linnet Pevensey is 256 years old, and she’s feeling every inch of it. Besieged by a wall of painful memories, longing for simpler times, she’s secluded herself off from the world. Lin’s roommate, Z, is unpredictable. A century-old vampire whose blood parasite has begun its last cycle, she is enthralled in every possible way to avoid the here and now. And fate is moving them both toward clandestine events.
Ryan Silva is a good looking, soulful songbird that has never had a problem getting any girl he’s ever wanted. That is…until he met Z. But getting the alluring punk’s attention is proving more difficult than he’d ever imagined. Seduced by desires to have Z feed from him, Ryan’s lines of reality blur, locking him on a downward spiral that threatens to destroy, not just his soul, but his very life if he does not stop stalking the vampires.
Dominique De’Paul, the freed blood slave of the ancient race, is unsure if she’ll be able to stop the tides of war and its inevitable genocide that have come knocking at her door. She can’t hide from the fact that her Children of Evensong are in peril! And the clock is running out! An emissary from the African warrior tribe has been dispatched to discern Mother Night’s threat to the human race, and it looks as if her darling Linnet will be sacrificed to the man’s passions in order to save her precious brood.
Weaving through the consciousness of time, between past and present, this uniquely intense journey of obsession & love travels the globe from modern day Los Angeles to the bygone eras of London, Tangiers, Africa, and the exotic lands of São Paulo, Brazil. Blood Junky is the first installment to an elaborate voyage of redemption, and the history of our world.

I loved this book. It was well written and reads like poetry. The author does a wonderful job bringing his characters to life and setting the stage. I felt like I was watching a movie because I could visualize what was going on… so clearly written. I would say this book is on my top 100 books!So, why only four stars??
I read this book a week ago and really struggled giving the fifth star and it may just be me, but it is how I fell. The story isn’t there, you learn the characters, but it feels like a history lesson. In that alone I wouldn’t have taken a star, but with what story he does give, there are no surprises. The story was to straight forward and I was at least fifty percent into the book before I even understood what the story or stories in the book where.
I really can’t wait to start the next book, because I really did love his writing style. I also feel that if in the next book there is more of a story, I will want to go back and give the fifth star. Sometimes history is what one needs to bring life to their worlds.
In the end I suggest to read this book, but beware you need to invest in half this book for it really takes off.

Däm'Um Song of the Vam Pŷr Blood Junky The One Blood Series Book 1 edition by Stavros Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Blood Junky is a chronicle about the lives and un-lives of three women who have become vampires, Dominique De'Paul, Linnet Albee (Pevensey), and Zia. It tells their stories over a number of centuries and creates an entire culture through their stories. The story of Dominique begins a thousand years ago with Dominique as a "blood slave" and continues to the 21st century. Included in those eras are their lives in the 18th century England where Linnet encounters a man who will make a sweeping change in her life. In Brazil of the same era where Dominique and Linnet find themselves making changes that will have grave consequences. It will also include America of the early 20th century where the reader will meet Zia.
This is an epic vampire tale which rivals LeFanu's "Carmilla" in sheer quality and is much better than most vampire stories. This has to be one of the best vampire novels ever written. I would even hazard to say that this novel is among such greats like "Dracula". I think that this one has the potential to become a new classic in the genre. The novel tells the story, primarily, from the experiences of an 18th century young woman named Linnet. She begins the story as a source of blood for the older Dominique. I chose to take my time with this story and savor the novel. I would urge others to do the same. Readers won't want to miss every nuance that "Blood Junky" has to offer. The only flaw that it has is that it gets a bit heavy on exotic terms, but this is only a very slight flaw. The author includes a glossary which explains and defines the terms he's created that helps the reader understand the terms. This is a novel that readers need to immerse themselves in. It provides a very different innovative world that readers can revel in. This novel has a distinct style which can be characterized as being like a very rich dessert. It's like crème brulee on a literary level.
The parts that are the most engrossing are the ones that take place in the 18th century. This is where the meat of the story is. I got to know two of the characters, Dominique and Linnet. These are wonderful women and very out of the ordinary. The vampire Dominique is very much a protective entity in the story which makes her very heroic. Linnet has a child that is in peril and Dominique takes on a parental role too and goes to bravely rescue the boy. This part is full of interesting conflicts. One of the more interesting conflicts entails one with the concept of slavery. The vampire vehemently despises the criminal practice and she takes steps to end it on her South American plantation. This is another aspect of this character which also makes her valiant. The bulk of Linnet's story is told here too. She's a very deep character and has as many facets and depth as any diamond. She's one of the most resilient and resourceful characters of the book. She's infinitely likeable. Zia's story begins in the early 20th century and continues into the 21st. She's very much a brat and one that the readers will enjoy following. She's the kind of character that one never knows what she is going to do next. She also becomes the obsession of a musician, Ryan Silva who goes to insane lengths to be with her. Each of these women is a huge pleasure in reading. I would advise those that desire excellent fiction and especially vampire fiction lovers to read this novel. It will be something that they will not regret.
I am so impressed by this astonishingly remarkable novel which boasts qualities of Bram Stoker's Dracula, within a historically evocative backdrop of atmospheric nuance. This psychological thriller interweaves historical accuracy with an undertone of literary genius, forming highly plausible philosophy and conception.
Unlike the majority of Vampire novels `Blood Junky' is so assured in its content (regarding Vampire history and plausible fact), that in my mind I am certain of it being labeled as a classic of this modern age. As part of a series that follows Linnet Pevensey through two different time frames that interconnect, the novel can therefore be read either as a continuation of the series or independently as a singular volume on Vampirism. Stavros captures the exact essence of Vampires and their nature; such as powerful strength, blood-lust and predatory instincts. Vampires in this novel are as far-removed from humans as possibly imaginable and so in contrast to books like Stephanie Meyer's Twilight or other Young Adult novels; he has delved back in time to original sources and perspectives. The author nurtures the ancestral myth of the Vampire and by bringing the legends of old alive once more, you feel in-tune with the clear image of a Vampire and their captivating instincts.
The true romantic concept, the feverish longing for blood and the fear that Vampire's bring is brought to the fore in this spectacular story. This intoxicating, spinechilling and hypnotic tale brings ghosts of the past back to life in such a way; it is as if Dracula is reincarnated for a contemporary readership whilst maintaining that strong link to history. Exceptionally well-conceived this deliciously detailed creation is nothing short of astonishing, with such passion deeply ingrained within the pages for you to revel in. Additionally the seven page `Lexicon' at the end of the book is most helpful, as well as making for interesting reading and understanding.
