Justine loves living at the palace with the Queen until she is attacked and runs away because she is afraid.

This night starts a long journey for Justine one she is not sure she wants to travel but has no choice. One dark night of her journey Justine is attacked again but this time she is attacked by rogue vampires but along comes Gascoyne her one and only true savior. He brings her back from the dead to live a new life a life of eternity. She is now a vampire but she is different than the vampire that attacked her she is like the vampire that saved her.

When she is first turned Justine is very upset about it and his mad at her creator and hates who she has become. She hates the dark person that she is now. But she soon learns on her journey with all of the things that she has to endure and all of the things that she sees that all creatures' humans and vampires are all alike. She learns that there are good vampires and humans but there are also bad humans and vampires. She learns that some have hearts and some don't. She learns that it doesn't matter if you are a human or a vampire that you can love and just because she has been turned into a vampire doesn't mean that she can't feel love in heart and she can care about someone human or vampire.

I have had the privilege of reading Carole's novels The Blackstone Vampires and was very happy when she asks me if I wanted to read Justine: Into the Blood. I love reading about vampires and have loved reading Carole's books. Carole knows how to pull you into her novels and make you feel as if you are one of the characters yourself. You feel as if you are standing off to one side watching and listening to everything that is going on. I love dark, gothic and horrific stories. The bloodier and gross they are the more I love it. If you like these things as well then you are going to love Justine: Into the Blood plus you will also love The Blackstone Vampires as well.
