This was a fun read, not perfect but fun. It was a pretty standard romance although there is one thing I struggled with (which may be a me thing).
I constantly was confused what time period it was in. Sometimes it would feel like they were leaning more historical, but then a character would say something or mention something really modern. It was very weird to me.
This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance I wanted to try to get a review in real quick before I head off to work. So this will be a bit shorter than normal. I have of late been on the hunt for some good vampire romances lately, its been the type of trope I have been in the mood for. And when I saw a review for the most recent book in this series, I realized I hadn’t read this one yet…and that I needed to get a head start on it. So I grabbed it on B&N and started reading…and wowzers I was very impressed with the story. Now it’s not a J.R. Ward or Kresley Cole type romance…its fun and silly at times, romantic and sweet, dangerous and suspenseful and packed with a mystery that kept me guessing. The heat in the book I would consider “Warm” just because it’s not the primary focus of the story (which is refreshing)…I loved seeing more than just sex in a vampire romance…that there is substance and realism to the relationship. Or maybe just lately the paranormals I have been reading there is way more sex than story and it has just been too much since I like a good story and then great sex to make the story fabulous. What i found most endearing about this story was the charm and plot twists, at times it was predictable but others it blew me away and I kept thinking “I totally didn’t see that coming” and it surprsied me in moments that I was overwhelmed but in a positive way. I can hardly wait to get my hands on the second book…bring it on Alexandra Ivy!!
I want to read Viper's book, he seems like he could be very yummy, didn't get a lot of info on him in this one though
I was by turns annoyed and amused by this book. I wonder if the author was contractually required to use the phrase "bloody hell" at least once every page. Annoying. And mentioning how terrible Abby's childhood was at least once in each chapter? Also annoying. But the dialogue and characters reminded me of early seasons of Buffy and that amused me. I'm going to give the next book in the series a go.
