Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Blood Lust in Books

Jan 7, 2021

This is my second book by the author, the first being Hooking Up, which I enjoyed. This was a little more gritty.

I wasn't so sure on the style of this. I know it was two gangs going against each other and they use different terms than other people but I wasn't exactly a fan of it.

The first 25-30% was a little off-putting, reading about what her boss had her doing and did to her, but then when she met Jace it perked up a bit. I liked him almost instantly, maybe because of my like of vampires, and I was sad that he didn't get as much book-time as he could have.

Nexess annoyed me a bit, mainly because of her loyalty to her boss after everything he makes her do. When she's not near him, she realises what's happening, but as soon as he comes back, she's fawning all over him again! She drove me a little insane.

Short and gritty.

167 of 200 Kindle Broken Beasts ( Xoe Meyers book 3) By Sara C. Roethle

 Xoe had hoped that after the events of the last few months, things would finally slow down. No such luck. The werewolves are out for blood, and so are the vampires apparently. Let's not even get started on the problems her own friends are causing. Regardless of the danger, Xoe and her rag-tag entourage are in Moab, facing the werewolf coalition. Their final ruling will change Xoe's fate, and the fate of her friends forever.

Here's hoping that's a good thing. I got the first 3 books in a set and I have to say I’ve really enjoyed them! They are the new Scooby gang a mismatch of supernatural friends! This one was a bit of a slow burner but still kept the story going! I’m looking forward to more demon action as you don’t get it as much as the usual vampire and werewolves! A good start to a decent series!

Merissa (12897 KP) rated Bad, Dad, And Dangerous Anthology in Books

Oct 6, 2020

This anthology gives you four amazing stories, complete by themselves, which definitely makes a nice change. All too often you get a story that ends with a cliffhanger in the start of a new series. Not here.

Each story is different but with a similar theme that ties them together in this anthology. From magical un-dead cats to peacekeeping wolves, from energy vampires to changelings.

As with most anthologies, there are some stories that I prefer but that doesn't mean the others are not as good. They are all brilliant and introduced me to two new-to-me authors so I'm very happy.

This was a great read that I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Vampire's Release (Undead in Brown County, #4) in Books

Jan 11, 2021

Since I read this after reading book 3, it made a lot more sense to me than the 18 months between book 2 and 3.

Anyway, I'm glad that Sarah finally made her mind up and chose Michael, he'd always cared for her so for them to end up together has made me happy for them. Team Michael!

As for the rest, everything that had been building up over the previous three books was brought to a head in this and we see the final showdown with the Council and some of the other Vampires. I'm glad a lot of it fell on the good guys side.

If you're going to read this, you should read them as closely together as possible to get the full affect of the story.

I've seen the author is planning on a fifth book, but I think the series has ended well enough without it so I don't think I'll read it if it does come out.

YES!!!!

OMG! How could you leave me hanging by a thread??!! I was so caught up in this fast-paced story that I didn't realize I was reaching the cliff-hanging end until I flipped the page and was greeted by bonus content!! Who are the parents of... oh never mind, as I simply don't want to share any spoilers. Charlie has no idea of the existence of vampires until it's too late to do anything but little does she know that this revelation isn't the last. This well-developed storyline has it all from three vampire clans that have different gifts to action and just the right amount of romance and I love the characters. I hope that the author doesn't take too long in releasing the second book because my curiosity is going to have me bouncing off the walls.
