We are getting down to the wire when it comes to Christmas. I have long been finished with my shopping - but I know a few people who wait until Christmas Eve to shop. That would make me a nervous wreck. :)
This weeks theme: Vampires
Not His Vampire by Annie Nicholas - 4 Stars ****
Magic is real. Shifters exist. Trixie Russell knows this.
Everyone does. But no one told her about the monster lurking in the basement of
the dragon’s castle. Not until it was too late.
Victor Petrov is ancient, and vampires his age should not
lose control of their hunger. And yet that’s exactly the problem which landed
him chained in a dragon’s dungeon. Then in walks a human female with cotton
candy hair who smells like sunshine, her pulse a sweet melody in his parched
ears, and the fragile thread of his control snaps. Again.
Like it or not, Trixie is now tied to Viktor's, and he seems
short a few marbles. She plans on making his eternity a misery until he reveals
they have an enemy in common. Trixie is totally on board with helping him
escape so she could get her revenge. After that, she’s done. They’re over. She
wouldn’t be his vampire.
Damned Either Way by Erin Hayes - 4 Stars ****
I’m finally free of my family’s curse.
Except now, the world is ending. FML.
Anthony, the vampire that killed my sister and my
brother-in-law, has won. I've lost everything. I no longer have my powers. I
have no idea where Amelia is. And the vampire I love has surrendered to the
hunger that is throwing the world into chaos.
The worst part? I can't do anything about it, because I'm no
longer the Harker. Sure, I'm not dying anymore, but I'm barely living at this
point.
But there may be one last chance to save us all. If only I
can find it in me to make one final sacrifice.
Girl Bitten by Knox & Miers - 4 Stars ****
Death has come for the undying.
As a genetics graduate student, Sasha Keleterina knows a
thing or two about blood. She’s courageous, capable, and not the kind of woman
in need of saving. But when she’s attacked in her lab, she barely escapes with
her life—only to find out she’s becoming one of the undead.
A deadly virus is poisoning vampires in the Portland area,
endangering them all. Master vampire Arsen Eskandar is desperate to prove
himself and save his people. Following the trail of a recent attacker, Arsen
encounters Sasha. She’s beautiful, intelligent, and a fighter, and the
attraction between them burns like wildfire. But when the master of a rival
clan declares Sasha is not only his—but the cure —a centuries-old war between
two ancient vampire clans rises to the forefront and a battle to claim Sasha
ensues.
But they don’t know her. The only one Sasha is willing to be
claimed by—is herself.
The Undead Detective Bites by Jennifer Hilt - 3 Stars ***
Unlucky. Unrelenting. Uncanny.
Silverthorne, like any other vampire, loved a good pandemic.
And why not? She’d lived through several of them in the past century. But now
she’s playing for the good guys as a medical examiner. A paranormal street drug
doing terrible things to her kind creates a different kind of
challenge—returning to Nowhere, Nevada where the murderer leaves her a trail of
grisly shifter corpses in this hick mountain community where she vowed to never
return.
Her suspects? A sumo wrestling sibling, the ex wife of the
sheriff (and her former lover) plus her estranged and oh so very psycho vampire
maker.
Soon Silverthorne is tracking a killer who wants nothing
less than everything she holds dear in her undead life. Good thing paranormal
murder most foul is Silverthorne’s specialty.
The Vampire Wants a Wife by Andie M Long - 3 Stars ***
Running a dating agency can be a killer…
Shelley Linley is sick of sickos. Yet another prankster has
applied to her dating agency. This one says he’s a vampire and he wants Shelley
to help him find a wife.
Meeting him for a second interview against all her better
judgement, Shelley discovers that he has no clue about women. A shame because
he’s super-hot, amusing, and has a lot of single friends he could recommend her
struggling business to, even if he does say they’re werewolves and demons. She
has to help him, even if he’s crazy.
If she can ignore his delusions, she’s sure she can help him
meet someone. But when death threats start arriving on her doorstep, Shelley’s
not sure she’s cut out for the job…then her dating algorithm states she’s his
ideal partner. Now she’s not sure if she should take the risk for love, or run
like hell.
There you have them. :) I hope you are reading something wonderful.
As always, thank you for stopping by.
