Jessica Hartwell was just an average college student. Her everyday life was carefree and filled with her studies, her family, and her friends. Suddenly, Jessica's life changed forever. First, Jessica's mother dies in a senseless, ritualized murder. The police believe Jessica's mother had been part of some sort of drug activity gone wrong. Jessica, knowing her mother's opinion on drug use, doubts this hypothesis. Next, several of Jessica's classmates begin to act strangely, going to bizarre gothic blood drinking parties and taking drugs. Then, people start to disappear. 

BLOOD WORSHIP is a chilling vampire thriller.  The story is full of action with enough twists and turns to make the book a page-turner. The characters are very well developed and genuine.  A number of different personalities and lifestyles are explored during the course of this story. However, all of these personalities and lifestyles are well thought out, well researched, and appropriately described. I felt that the author even managed to disprove some common stereotypes, making the characters all the more realistic and the story that much more chilling.
