My comments: This was pleasantly different than the books I've been reading/listening to lately. Differing points-of-view, which I always seem to enjoy. A good mystery. Humor. But, throw in a vampire, national security, and the POTUS and what do you get? Blood Oath! Zach Barrows, the vampire's "human handler" is a riot! Cocky, sarcastic, and quick-witted. Flashbacks to 1867 when Nathaniel "became" a vampire give details that make Cade more believable and real. I will read the next in the series.
:Goodreads synopsis: Zach Barrows is an ambitious young White House staffer whose career takes an unexpected turn when he's partnered with Nathaniel Cade, a secret agent sworn to protect the President. But Cade is no ordinary civil servant. Bound by a special blood oath, he is a vampire. Cade battles nightmares before they can break into the daylight world of the American dream, enemies far stranger-and far more dangerous-than civilians have ever imagined.
Blood Oath is the first in a series of novels featuring Nathaniel Cade-the President's vampire.
