Type: Original Fiction
Rating: R
Genre: Adventure | Horror | Thriller

“We’re just recycling life,” Ruby always tells me, “Doing our part to save the environment. We’re altruistic, really, when you think about it.”

For some, a regular job isn’t an option. For some, the call of the unusual, the intriguing and the morally questionable is a call that they can’t avoid or get away from no matter how hard they try. They choose the jobs that others would kill themselves before doing, the jobs that regular society doesn’t know exist.

For Ruby Ranson and Opal Casmont, this phrase sums up their present and future.

When Opal wakes up in a bath full of icy, bloody water, she doesn’t panic, nor does she worry. She simply stumbles down the stairs to come face-to-face with two members of The Vultures, a group that work exclusively in the Red Market, a market that specialises in the bread-and-butter of living – blood and organs. Their actions are questionable and highly illegal, but they help the underdogs. Ruby and her gang are like a modern-day, grotesque Robin Hood – stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Except the rich are rich in blood and the poor are desperate for medical help.

Blood Money is the tale of Opal’s time with The Vultures and shows her devolution from horror to being just like them – a vigilante sitting on the fence between morality and evil. Throughout the story, sodapop curtis will have you on your toes and thinking hard about the outcome – an explosive ending with a twist that will literally blow your mind.

Coupled with a beautiful style of writing and characters that you will love, despise and everything in-between, Blood Money is a must-read for anyone who likes to be challenged on their moral beliefs and enjoys a good puzzle. From beginning to end, this piece will keep you hooked!
