I liked the first book 'Shelter', which encouraged me to read this one, but this book really frustrated me. There were even more editing errors than the first and the love triangle that started out as interesting quickly bored me. There was little character development from the last book and adding a further love interest that Alice (yet again) was in love with as well as the other two just seemed unrealistic. I feel the story was rushed and the interesting elements were not explored properly so that by the end of the book I was simply turned off to the point where I'm no longer bothered about what happens to the characters and therefore won't be bothering with the third.

I didn’t like this book as much as the first; it was less funny, and more eye-roll-inducing.
Alice continued to be a bit irritating in this book, and boy was she horny! Even two boys weren’t enough for her in this book! She had to add a third to the mix! How many boys can you swap spit with (and more), and proclaim you love, all in only 215 pages? I mean really? What a tease!
The storyline in this started to irritate me a bit. Everybody loves Alice, Alice is the centre of the known universe, and everybody would happily die to protect her. Does anybody say ‘you know what? You can’t make a choice, you have 2 other blokes on the go, I’m going elsewhere’? Nope, they all just try to outdo each other in the kissing championships, and wait their turn. The only one who ever complains is Kai, and he is such a whiny little brat!
The ending to this was yet another cliff-hanger. Not sure I can be bothered to go straight into the third book though.
6 out of 10

It's defiantly a possibility for Alice.
Two guys wasn't enough for her in this book, so she got a third. By the end of book four she'll probably have enough guys to name after days of the week!
The storyline in the last book was alright, and there was loads of parts that made me laugh (Even if they weren't intended too.) but in this one, it was dull.
Everything that happened, i didn't care about. Alice annoyed me, Her love interests annoyed me more (Kai, especially.) and i was just bored.
Overall, Dull and had an annoying Love square.

I don't know WHAT it is about the BLOOD HAZE series, but I just can't stop reading it!
In the first book of this series, we met an .. interesting ... assortment of characters. There was Alice, our kind-hearted vampire heroine who was slowly learning she has stronger powers than she ever knew she posessed. Then, there was Kai, her overly-moody, clingy, melodramatic vampire boyfriend, who tended to never leave her side (and actually moved into her parents' house -- creepy!). Soon enough she also met Max, a vampire hunter turned romantic-possibility who always lingered right outside Kai's bubble, but never quite close enough to become number 1 in Alice's heart. Obviously with Max being a well-connected hunter, and Alice and Kai being pretty obvious vampires, there were a lot of trials and tribulations for our little trio in book 1.
Now, book two is where it got a little ridiculous -- although, I can't deny that I HAD to keep reading anyways. So, it's bad enough that Alice has two fairly sane men trailing her around, "SO IN LOVE" with her that they can barely function in society, right? So, let's add a third -- this one, Alexi, has a bit more power and mystery to him, and he may have ties to Alice stronger than anything Kai or Max could ever imagine. He also has a brother, Liam, who is part of an organization seeking to capture Alice in order to cultivate and manipulate her deadly powers. Except, she soon learns that Liam and crew might be the least of her enemies out there in this crazy world...
I think the only problem I have with this series, for real, is the fact that the male characters are all a bunch of losers, honestly. I mean, none of these guys seem to have any identity apart from swooning over Alice (who none of them have really known, in person, for more than a very short period of time). Are we readers *really* supposed to believe that not only would these three guys give up their entire lives for Alice but that her new female friend from school, Liam, and this whole weird vampire organization would all be at her beck and call, even to the point of dying a gruesome death for her? Sorry, folks, this reader just doesn't buy it.
And, Alice, for crying out loud, let's go ahead and ditch Kai before he possessively chops you up in pieces, in some clingy act of passion, and gets you your own Lifetime movie memoir special, please! Of all these men, Kai is your choice? Really?
Although I hate the characters -- well, the men, at least -- I think the author has a knack for telling a story, and I'll definitely be starting the 3rd one soon -- so look for that review in a day or two!

As if Alice didn't have enough to worry about now she and her family are being hunted. Kai and Max vow both to keep her safe though from what loomed in the near future they had no clue. The hunter soon became the hunted and to keep him safe she risked her own life. Kai was getting sick of her feelings for Max and after they had been intimate not soon before. Thats when things get even more difficult Alexi introduces himself and tells Alice that they are to be wed... as if her love triangle wasn't hard enough now there was Alexi who laid claim to her too. Not wanting to lose her he excepts Kai and Max though they still had a hard time excepting eachother now there was another man on the scene... things get complicated when the council trys to take her for there own. Alexi's father Barnabas was a seir. Knowing how special she was he wouldn't stop trying to take her or kill her so the group decided they needed to run if it came to that. Not wanting anyone else to be hurt she gives herself to the council to save the ones she loves. She is trained to use her powers more effectively and things seem to be getting better until Demitri kidnaps her too. She escapes the cage he puts her in and they all return to a bunker. Little did they know that this was just the beginning. The whole council is killed by Demitri's wraiths and the end is near... Alice decides at the end to take the fight to him tired of being a victim and sick of people dying... Until next time with what seems to be the last book...

I usually don't write any reviews but I had to say that I could not even finish this book. I liked the first book but this was just horrible with now adding a 3rd love interest and all this running around. I didn't feel like I could even like the characters. Everything was rushed with no development. I kept rolling my eyes as I was reading. I had to stop reading about 3/4 of the way in...It was completely unenjoyable at that point. No offense to anyone but it was a big waste of $2.99 on my Kindle.

This novel was like 150% better than the first installment in the Blood Haze series. I was impress how well it was written after the first one being kind of a mess. The author definitely did a lot better or got a better editor.

This would have been a great series had the author completed her writing. She however never completed the final book for that she announced would be out in late 2011. I don't advise starting a series that the author has made impossible to complete.

Gotta read the next one
This was just as exciting as the first. Alice is a wonderful person she cares deeply for all who are close to her. But who will she end up with? Three men in love with one girl. Wow!
