Publisher Description
Sleepwalking may be the death of me… again.
I thought things would get better now that I no longer had assassins after my head. Although it's fun eating people who misgender me, I'm just so thirsty all the time. And until I improve, I'm barred from seeing Jack, my were-jackal boyfriend.
My babysitter, I mean 'vampire mentor,' isn't much help either.
As if things weren't bad enough, the amulet that started this mess is whispering to me. Calling me somewhere. I think it might be my mysterious maker. Judging by the trail of bodies they're leaving across the globe, I don't want to know what will happen if I can't keep resisting.
Bloodline of the Ancients is the second book in the Changing Bodies trans-masc M/M paranormal thriller series. Content warnings for violence and sex. While there is a romantic subplot, the book is not a romance. The series is best read in order.

EXCITING!!!
“Bloodline of the Ancients” is the second installment in the “Changing Bodies” series from Roan Rosser. The story picks up with Jack investigating draining of vampires and Everett now living in a new place.
Everett’s not very happy about living at the house but he tries to adjust. The thing that makes him happy is when Jack shows up at the door. He’s making a delivery and bringing Everett his new identity. Everett is not exactly thrilled with the new name, Evan Truman, but it’s best for his unique situation.
Everetts is supposed to be under the guidance of Lin the house elder. He’s supposed to be instructed on how to deal with hunting and all things that go along with his vampire status. Lin is rude to both Jack and Everett and she’s very unsympathetic to Everett. It’s obvious she’s holding a grudge because she didn’t get her way when it came to her boyfriend. There’s also another “roommate” Trevor, who doesn’t seem very smart. But it’s apparent that Lin favors him more. Lin and Trevor both hate that Everett wears the amulet. Seems no matter how much Everett tries it just get’s him into more trouble and the amulet isn’t helping.
The one good thing is Jack is allowed to make deliveries to the house and he and Everett get to spend time together. But it only takes one time, with Jack’s help for Everett to feed at a party and trouble follows. Eric, a jealous shifter, will bring danger to Everett and the house where he lives.
Everetts troubles keep adding up: being chained in the basement; Stacy of the Paranormal Creature Alliance (PCA) has to steps in; Lord Pembroke and Isabella come to examine Everett and the amulet and it just doesn’t get any better. Plus, he seriously misses Jack, who’s off on investigations for the PCA. He’s tracking the deaths of drained vampires and suspects: Dolf, Kurt and an old woman. When Jack starts to follow the trail it takes him back to Portland. What Everett and Jack find will place them in the middle of carnage and an unescapable evil.
“Bloodline of the Ancients” just keeps getting better. It’s amazing how Roan Rosser takes a story of vampires, shifters, mages and the supernatural and melds it into a puzzling murder mystery. The novel is well written, fast paced, suspenseful, gory, action packed with danger at every turn.
Being a former cop, the plot gives Jack a chance to show his investigative skills and how his expertise in being a jackal relate. The relationship between Everett and Jack is still growing and there are those romantic moments. At times Everett doesn’t always share his issues with Jack, like being mistreated by Lin.
“Bloodline of the Ancients” has all the elements of supernatural entertainment. I am ready for more excitement with book three in the “Changing Bodies” series from Roan Rosser, “Goddess of the Ancients.”
