Basil (Silver Springs Pets Series) by K. Rose – Review by Ayla Phipps

Basil by K. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unique new twist on a classic genre. This is not only the first book I have read by the amazing K. Rose, but it is also the first book I have read in the Silver Springs Universe. Primary perspective Basil, but also glimpses of JJ, Theo, and Jo.
Basil was just a normal human until she woke up in the hospital after a fatal car accident and everything felt different, especially her body. Quickly discovering she was no longer a human but a vampire, her main fear was that she was a vegan, and she wasn’t about to change that now. Successfully becoming a truly vegan vampire, she starts over in the supernatural town of Silver Springs. Immediately after she meets her first employee and best friend Lainie. Soon after that she meets JJ and Jo, the owners of the local farm she got most of her ingredients from for her smoothie bar. They call her their flower, their mate. Still confused at the implications, enters Theo all in one day and is told again that she is his snowflake and mate. She never thought it was true vampires, shifters, clones, everything seemed out of a fairy tale, but the emotions were real and quickly she couldn’t resist the need and pull to claim them. Things were going great until hunters showed up and only saw her for the fangs and nothing more.
Can Basil succeed in surviving and living out her new life? What will her mates do to protect their queen? This town honestly sounds amazing and the new twists on supernatural’s brought a refreshing outlook on a highly enriched genre. While I haven’t read any of the other books in the Silver Springs Library (yet), I loved the little cameos by previous characters such as Amber, Violet, and Sugar. I look forward to going back and reading each of their unique stories as well as looking more into this amazing author’s personal works.
