This story needed to be devoured in one sitting. There was so much fantastic drama that I just wanted to keep reading and reading. Unfortunately it was not meant to be.
Reading this book was very frustrating for me. I didn't want to put it down. I wanted to devour every thrilling page. It was packed full of suspense and who done it moments. Life kept getting in the way. Maybe it made it more exciting but I don't think so. The author packed this story with twists and turns, shock and awe, and just the perfect number of sweet moments to make a difficult time in my life a little bit easier.
Any book with Tenzin and Ben is a must read. Their adventures are a thrill a page and the sexual tension between them is reaching epic proportion. Bring on the next one and the next one. I am ready.

We're back with Benzin and they're on a treasure hunt.
Ben Veccio caters to the antiques collectors of the immortal world as a human amongst vampires he always has to be fully aware of his surroundings. I love Ben, I think even more than I love Gio and that is saying something. Ben is strong, loyal, sly and has street smarts. He knows how to con people but doesn’t always use those skills. But at the same time, he is trying to come to terms with his past and what it could mean for his future.
Tenzin is a bloodthirsty, totally kickarse, violent five-thousand-year-old vampire. Oh, and she is obsessed with gold. To the point of being narrow minded about it. She partnered up with Ben in the business and have been doing well ever since. I love Tenzin she has this vulnerability to her can be a bit childlike at times but at others is as wise as can be.
The attraction and chemistry between Ben and Tenzin is building yet Tenzin doesn’t know what to do about it. If she wants to do something, if she wants to have that weakness. Ben doesn’t want to become a vampire although we all know that he is fighting a losing battle. Everyone knows and deep-down Ben knows it as well. These two unwittingly overstep the boundaries that they set for one another.
I do have one tiny thing to complain about Tiny and Ben are so aggravating with ignoring their feelings/chemistry. The buildup is killing me but patient I must be.
Ms. Hunter's writing is flawless, impeccable and truly captivating. It’s like coming home every single time and hanging out with the gang or in this case the new gang. Chloe, Gavin, Ben and Tenzin. The plot is unique and each and every time the author brings Ben and Tenzin to hunt a new treasure in a new country I want to get on a plane and visit that country asap with Puerto Rico it is no different. They are to introduce themselves to the court of Los Tres to grant permission to seek for the treasure but there are also vampire politics at work. The pace is good not all of the time as Benzin’s antics got in the way a little too much but still spot on and never a dull moment.
What can I say? I am so biased when it comes to this series and the author there is no other option than to recommend this series. And I can only count my lucky stars that Ms. Hunter likes my reviews enough to let me receive an advanced copy before release date.

I loved this. I am a Benzin fan, but this book really offered some rough sailing for that ship! I was quite upset about the way things were resolved (or left unresolved) between them by the end of the book. I get it, Tenzin, but come on! No spoilers, just read it. Guaranteed Elizabeth Hunter goodness.

How I love this wonderful world Elizabeth Hunter has created! Ben and Tenzin are two of my favorite characters ever and if only they got over themselves and realized they are meant for each other lol
Blood Apprentice is a lovely and bittersweet story. We get to know more about Bem’s past while he has to confront it. While Tenzin tries to come to terms with her feelings for Ben and decide if she wants what she considers a weekness.
I really don’t want to spoil this story for anyone, I’ll just say it is definitely worth a read and I hope we get more Benzin as soon as possible!

A good story.
A good story. In all fairness, while I think this would work as a stand alone, if you like it, you are going to be drawn into reading the rest of the books.
Ben has more experiences, it's interesting with what happens with Tenzin, and I am still so curious about how Ben will proceed with his life. So many choices!
