WILD VAMP (JADED VAMP BOOK 2) AUDIO BOOK by L.D. WOSAR – Review by Bridget McCullough

This is book 2 in the Jaded Vamp series and the action in this one takes place 50 years after the events of the 1st book. This is definitely a fast paced book, if you enjoy fast paced stories, this is for you! I personally would have liked to see more in each scene as these characters are written with such great intricacy that I’d like to see more of their thoughts and emotions.

I particularly loved Kaysee. Her character felt very real and raw to me. She wasn’t written to make every correct decision but she also didn’t fall into any of the normal tropes of female characters who make bad decisions. She generally made good and logical decisions but we got to see the why behind them and really experience the dark thoughts that make us all human even though we’d never admit it.

Then there was Dom. As a character he reminded me a lot of a high school jock who grew up to be a biker. Not that he was either of those things being an immortal vampire, but the personality was there. At different phases of the book I wavered between despising him and empathizing with him while agreeing with the decisions he made even though I didn’t necessarily like them. It’s rare that I find a character who elicits such complex emotional feelings in a book and I really hope that in the next one we get to see more of the inner turmoil of all of our characters.

There were of course several other characters in the book including our bad guys and with the head hopping writing style, we get a glimpse into all of them which affords us a unique perspective of not just the good but also the bad characters and what fuels them as well. It brings a unique perspective of humanity to the villains rather than just painting them as evil and writing their feelings off.

All in all, I quite enjoyed the writing style of this book; my only complaint was that there wasn’t more of it!
