Fire in the Blood is the first book I've read by Robyn Bachar and the first book I've read in the Bad Witch series.I enjoyed Fire in the Blood a lot. I was surprised since this is the third book in the series and went into it, with no knowledge of the series whatsoever. Patience is a great character. She's snarky, funny and she's tough. I thought the series was about her as the heroine of the series, but when I went back and read the blurbs for the previous two books, I realized that she isn't.Patience is a witch who is the last man standing. Her lover is a faerie named Faust and she has a demon employee named Harvey. I really liked Harvey. He's a gamer and he's loyal to Patience. I liked how Patience interacted with Faust and Harvey.I definitely recommend reading the previous two books because I was a little confused while reading Fire in the Blood. The confrontations and tension between the characters didn't mean anything to me because I didn't know their history. Even though the author provided some background story about what happened to lead the characters to be where they are at this point in the novella, I still couldn't get the full picture or the impact of the characters actions.I liked Fire in the Blood and I am definitely going to read the first two books in the series. I will have to readjust my mind so that I won't expect Patience to be the focus of the books. I do recommend reading Blood Smoke and Mirrors and Bewitched Blooded and Bewildered before reading Fire in the Blood.
