I was thinking that I had given the things that go bump in the night their time to shine - it was time to spotlight those on the opposing side.
This weeks theme: Vampire Hunters
Drawing Dead by SM Reine - 4 Stars ****
The vampire slayer is turning into a vampire? Over her dead
body.
Dana McIntyre has been bitten by a master vampire. She's
infected with the venom. And after killing hundreds of vampires to keep Las
Vegas safe, she'd rather die than turn.
There might be a cure. But the only way to get it is through
Nissa Royal, a vampire with close ties to the masters of Las Vegas. Nissa is
dangerous -- too dangerous to be allowed to live, much less work alongside.
But if Dana dies, vampires win Vegas. If she doesn't die,
she becomes one of the bloodless. The cure's her only chance. In this deadly
game of hold 'em, Dana's drawing dead, and whatever happens next, there's no
changing her losing hand. Dana only knows one thing: If she's going down, she's
taking as many vampires as possible on her way out…
Dark of Night by Jex Lane - 4 Stars ****
All Kat wants is vengeance.
Kat dreams of one thing: driving a stake through the cold,
dead heart of the vampire lord who turned her father and killed her mother.
When she’s offered the chance to earn magic-laced tattoos that make her
stronger and faster, she jumps at it, even if it means working for monsters.
Incubi. Seductive creatures who feed off sexual energy. And one of them wants
her. If only she could ignore his ridiculously perfect body with those stupid
sexy abs…
All Darius wants is Kat.
Lord Darius of House Tarrick has worked hard to earn his title,
not to mention money, sex, and power—the incubus has it all. Until some new,
wild-haired hunter recruit strolls in like she owns the place, throwing him off
balance and igniting an unquenchable fire in him. He wants her. He needs her.
And he’ll do anything to have her…
Blood Warrior by H D Gordon - 4 Stars ****
When her home is attacked by murderous vampires, Alexa
Montgomery is forced to leave her mother for dead in order to save her sister.
She soon learns that she is the last known member of an
elite race of supernatural warriors, and is thrust into a world full of
vampires and werewolves who all seem to regard her as some sort of savior.
Meanwhile, Alexa battles a monster within herself that seeks
to gain control—a monster that seeks blood.
The hidden city she finds herself in appears perfect, but
Alexa's instincts tell her that all is not right within its walls. When she is
asked to attend a school of fighters, whose exams consist of gladiator-style
competitions, she must decide who she can trust among the smiling faces.
And, when she meets Kayden, a vampire she feels undeniably
drawn to, she must decide if she can trust herself.
Sanctified by David Bussell - 4 Stars ****
The city of London is infested with vampires.
Only one person can stop them from rising up and wreaking
havoc.
Too bad she’s a twenty-something goth working a desk job in
a lost property office.
When Abbey Beckett received a briefcase containing a
mysterious dagger, she should have left well alone. But no, she had to fiddle,
and now she’s got a brand seared into her palm and an angel telling her she’s
the only thing standing in the way of a vampire apocalypse.
Abbey soon finds herself pitted against the evil Judas Clan,
a coterie of bloodsuckers that refuse to play by the vampire rulebook. With a
unique agenda and a surprisingly heinous way of achieving their ends, the Clan
is on track to bring the city to its knees, and after that, civilisation
itself.
Does Abbey have what it takes to wield the hallowed dagger,
become the city’s protector and defeat a vampire army, or are the streets of
London about to run red with blood?
Red Ashes by J A Moore - 3 Stars ***
Being a vampire hunter is hungry work.
John Magnus was your
not-quite-so-average orphan-turned-Marine before his convoy was attacked by
vampires, leaving him as the only human survivor. John's journey as a vampire
hunter takes him to San Diego, where a vicious new foe--and a new family--await
him.
John's Uncle, a prodigious vampire hunter, trains John in the finer points
of slaying the denizens of the night until an unexpected ambush turns
everything upside down, and John is forced to fight against a new threat that
he was just beginning to understand.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you see something you'd like to try.
