Exploited Blood #6
The Emancipation
A good person does what's right even when no one is watching. That goes double for Vampires...
Welcome to Book 6 of the Exploited Blood series
The Americas are crawling with the infected. New super strains are popping up all over the place. To top it off Chris and crew have managed to shatter the cardinal rule among the vampire elite. Killing other immortals without having the executions sanctioned by Anubis and the rest of the counsel is punishable by death. Which means that to survive they're going to have to fool a tribunal made up of ancient vampires who happen to be pretty good at reading minds. Minds that they make more susceptible to being read by injecting a whole lot of pain into them first. While everyone else is hyper focused on figuring a way out of all that Chris just sees it as another Tuesday in this crazy world he's somehow now a part of...

About the author
R.S. Merritt
37 books465 followersLiving in a lighthouse as a child led me early to a love of reading. Despite what you may have been told the life of a lighthouse keeper's son is not all Glamour and Parties. There's a lot of time when there really isn't much to do besides wonder if the fog horn has finally made you deaf or watch your dad pull fishing lures out of different parts of people's bodies. (You'd be amazed!)
Two of my favorite houses growing up!
I read. I read a lot. We had a 'reading caterpillar' around the room at my school where every time you read a book you put your name on your color paper and hung it up. The teacher had to give me two colors because it was looking more like a worm than a caterpillar. I devoured CS Lewis before moving on to Tolkien. Reading has continued to be a big part of my life. I've moved into Alternative Realities by guys like Stirling and my guilty pleasure is Zombie novels. I can't seem to get enough of them!
I like reading about the extremes people will go to to survive. The ones who can rise above the rest and keep their sense of right and wrong. When humanity crumbles around them these flawed heroes stand tall and try to make their way. They go from struggling to pay the phone bill to struggling to keep themselves and others alive. I like to see how this either hardens or breaks them. I think these stories speak at a very primal level. I enjoy the journey greatly as I get to tag along seeing how the survivors manage and how the experience forges them into something more than they were.
I look forward to sharing the journey with you all!
Sincerely,
R S Merritt

The writer is a very talented storyteller, they keep the reader’s interested page after page with plenty of action and adventure. Toss in a little humor, a few tears, good friends. Yeah that’s a winner for sure.
Downside? This is the last book in series.

Great end to a great apocalyptic series. Not your average zombiekalypse but with a fresh idea, humor and great characters. Looking forward to the next books from Mr. Merritt - I think I read almost every book now. ;)
Four stars because there a some errors and typies.
Thank you for another great reading time.

Loved the series and the ending. Kind of wished for an epilogue after spending so much time with the characters, but will just have to make up my own. Looking forward to what the author brings next.

A good alternative mashup of zombie/pandemic/vampire/apocalypse. However, the misuse of her and him instead of she and he was distracting. It was also surprising to see the word lie used for lay; "Chris lie on the floor" instead of "Chris lay on the floor."
