My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hunted by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk is the first book in the Hunted series and was an incredible read! I was drawn in from the first chapter and had trouble putting this book down. This isn’t your typical vampire book, and I really enjoyed reading some of the quirks of vampire abilities I’ve never read in a book before. This book was jam packed with action, suspense, and a little bit of romance, enough to make this book feel like a very quick read. All of the characters were very enjoyable to read, especially Darren and his character development throughout the story. This was a great read and I can’t wait to read the next installment of the series!

I really enjoyed this story. It is a vampire romance which I always enjoy. The book drags you in and grips you from the beginning. The author’s does a great job writing the characters so you can’t help but feel the emotion they are going through.

Edith is a vampire. After her fiance dies in the war she is turned into a vampire and for 100 years she has lived with her “daughters” Hope and Angel.

Every year they hold a convention. Its seen as a role play weekend where people can see what the life of a vampire is like and if they want to they can also be turned.

However this time is different. Two of the people on the weekend are Hunters.

Darren and his younger brother Dan are trained as Hunters and its their job to rid the earth of vampires. When Dan goes missing Darren follows him and finds him at Edith’s weekend convention.

Things aren’t what they seem though and Darren and Edith need to work together to figure things out. The closer they work, the closer they become. Can a relationship between them ever work? Can Darren forget being a hunter to save Edith and her family? And what or who is working against them.

By Alexander Charalambides
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Eye of Death (Vampire State Book 3) by Alexander Charalambides. It is a story that pulled me in from the very beginning and I was hooked. It is the next exciting book in a series that I have loved since the first story. The book has an intriguing plot and storyline as well as wonderful characters. This story finds Rowena getting a new romantic interest as well as a new situation that happens in Sanguinia that puts the city in chaos. What does the future hold for Rowena and those she calls friends and allies? Read this book to find out. This story has action and danger. It had me turning pages wondering what is going to happen next. There are twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. I would suggest reading these books for you to fully understand the situations that occur in each story. Don’t miss out on an entertaining story that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

Hunted by Sarah Biglow & Molly Zenk – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur

HuntedHunted by Sarah Biglow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a tale of vampires and vampire hunters, two sets of people leading very different lives and each others lifelong enemies, but that is just most of the clans, however, the Heartsong Clan wants to change this perspective from one of violence to one of peace and coexistence, that is why they hold “Human vs Vampire” LARP reenactments so that humans can learn a bit about Vampire culture and then maybe chose to become one of them and this weekend is another of these events where humans and vampires mix together for a few days.

This book starts with Edith on her wedding day as she prepares to end her life, she has lost her love and sees nothing else to live for, she just wants to be with him, she is walking into the river with the stones in her pockets until someone calls to her from the bank, this person is Mr Heartsong, a vampire she knows from the VHA (Vampire Human Alliance) and he is trying to glamour her to convince her that Daniel would want her to continue to live and to be happy and also stop her from joining Daniel in death.

100 years to the day she turned, Edith is leading the LARP event with Hope and Angel her two daughters, they are just like any other family, apart from they are vampires and older than they look, as they man the booth where people sign up for the event, a young man, Caden comes to sit and chat with Parker, another vampire and the girls and it turns out he is there to help with the recruitment drive, Edith is initially reluctant to trust the young man, but decides to give him the benefit of the doubt when the girls say that they trust him with their lives, as does Parker. As the day goes on and more people sign up, they have their first “vampire” added to the list, Dan, he is friends with the girls and Caden and it seems that he wants to learn more about the vampire way of life.

Next we meet Darren who is Dan’s brother and only wants to chaperone him to the nerdy convention that his brother is interested in attending, but he feels uncomfortable as soon as he enters the building where he can’t tell the humans and the vampires apart and as a hunter, it is something that he hates. He realises that he has lost Dan in the crowds, but remembers that he spoke about going to meet some friends while there, but getting there that late in the day, Darren is a little worried about him and starts to stress out when he can no longer see him because of their history. Darren has intel that the Heartsong Clan are recruiting at the event and he prays that that isn’t why Dan is here, however, if he is, then it will be a great way to get some inside intel on the Clan while meeting his brothers friends.

This is where Edith and Darren come face to face and meet for the first time and although the insistent banging on her office door is giving her a migraine, she remains polite and as she opens the door, another wave of memories hit her. It is then that he asks to join in the LARP and reluctantly, Edith agrees and gives him a tour of where he will be staying for the weekend, as they do this, Edith explains the rules of the weekend and the game play, as well as what will happen and when. When they see a group with Dan in, Darren takes him to one side and they have an argument about why Dan is there and why he left Darren in the convention and neither of them is happy with the situation, but they both go to the dining room when the bell is sounded for the meal. It is later that night when Darren decides to go and check that Dan is alright that all hell breaks loose as the weekend takes a turn for the worse and this leads to Darrens worst fears, that Dan is in danger and he is realising that Edith is not like any other vampire he has ever met.

Will Dan and Darren be able to escape the convention, or will the vampires show their true natures? Will Edith be able to come to terms with the memories which are flooding back and be honest with herself and Darren and will he be able to be honest with her as they grow closer? The only way to find out is to read along and discover their revelations at the same time they do.

Donovan I’ve been stabbed why is what I want find out. Someone is targeting lawyers but why. The question on Donovan’s mind. Who’s out to get him. This is not your typical vampire book. Donovan is a lie about being a vampire by night. He’s s target in this killer attack but if he can’t be killed who is the next target. Donovan needs to find out before someone is really killed. Can he identify the killer before the next victim is met. This is fast paced and well written I highly recommend it to anyone.

First, We Kill All the Lawyers by Seelie Kay is a paranormal suspense story. It is an easy read with lots of suspense and intrigue. Seelie’s always gives us an adventure where the suspense it palpable and a cleverly woven plot that had me on the edge of my seat, as they race against time to stop lawyer killer. I loved every bit of the action and the danger. Even though it is a short story it definitely packs a punch and keeps you on your toes. Seelie’s writing makes it easy to visualize what is going on around them and the world in which she has created.

Hunted by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk is a collaboration between two fantastic authors which has resulted in a great fantasy story that will really grab your attention. I loved the combination of fantasy and geek with the LARP storyline, it isn’t something I recall seeing before but I definitely enjoyed the way they were brought together in this book.
The characters were strong and really connected well. Their worlds were completely adverse to one another and yet the way they tried to make something work was great to see.
I have read both of these authors previously and I loved the fact that they have combined their talents to produce this gem. This is a thoroughly enjoyable book and I hope to see more of them together in the future.

4 Stars!!!!

I have once again ventured into this vampire state and I was not disappointed. I really like the flow
and continuity of this series. I find that the author has a very original story. I really felt as though
the characters just jumped right off of the page. I was totally glued to the book from start to finish.

I once again found that Rowena really drew my attention. I felt the emotions as she went through them. The intrigue and the drama is really balanced with the romance. I found that the story really flowed and I felt as though I was right there in it. I really like the way that Rowena mixes with not only Vincenzo but also Antet and somewhat with Luka and there is a bit of mixed emotions and betrayals. The whole situation is so complex and I like how the author is able to draw everything out. I will definitely be reading more from this author and this series.

Hunted by Sarah Biglow & Molly Zenk is a paranormal vampire story but not the normal trope. This duo gives us something that is unique and original, exciting and with a fresh twist on the fang gang genre. It is fast paced but as I have come to expect from Sarah and Molly there is definitely nothing lacking in the story. The tale is well plotted and the characters are endearing. There is an air of tension, mystery and thrills as your mind bends to the fantasy world that Sarah and Molly have designed. I certainly can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

I couldn’t stop laughing through this whole story. The characters were hilarious and well written especially Crimson. From the first page she had me laughing. Her filter is missing. She is a clumsy witch but it hasn’t stopped her from being who she is. The demon anonymous was funny. I couldn’t help but to enjoy this story. Mike is an interesting character as well. I have fun with this one and can’t wait to read more. It put a twist on the supernatural. In most stories you hear about the paranormal not interacting well together. Here it’s a beautiful grouping of diverse characters. Rosemary can suck my toe with her serious control issues. She just did too much for me. Overall a good read with it serious moments but still making you laugh.

Life’s a witch, what a perfect title to grab your attention.
Well, Carrie Pulkinen has, yet again, out done herself. She has, again, created another soul grabbing masterpiece.
Honestly, the amount of creativity and feels Carrie puts into her stories and characters leaves me completely speechless. It is more than just words on a page but a sense of realness and perfectly done story telling. This story had me on the edge of my seat, burying my face into my hands while I laughed and fanning myself.
But seriously – it yanks you in with a ride or die friendship, recovering demons that go to AA meetings, a ‘kind of’ witch that is more than just what she can or can not cast, a spontaneous lust turned into love… what more could you ask for?
You will not regret diving into this gem. My only warning is this story will grab you and hold you captive until the very last page.

Life's a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes, #3)Life’s a Witch by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the story of Crimson Oliver, a witch who just can’t catch a break with her magic and everytime she casts a spell, something goes wrong and Mike Cortez, a demon in rehabilitation who makes deals with the devil and owns a restaurant all at the same time.

The story starts with Crimson as she is about to go in front of the Council of Elders of her coven, which is in direct relation to her latest magical mishap. As the Council convenes and Rosemary takes her place as head priestess, she asks one of the other witches to read out the charges against Crimson which, if they are found to be true, will .end up with Crimson having her power bound and a life in exile away from other witches for the rest of her life and Crimson has no intention of letting that happen as she is not guilty of any of the charges and given the result of her questioning, it looks like that is exactly what will happen, that is until she invokes the goddess and the right to challenge the high priestess to a magic battle and the goddess deems that it shall go ahead, much to the amazement of the rest of the coven, especially Rosemary. It is decided that the two witches have one month to prepare for the challenge and the winner takes the role of High Priestess and the loser has their magic bound and must live in exile, but Crimson is sure that Rosemary only rules the coven without their respect and decides that there must be more to Rosemary than meets the eye and that she will both find out and win the challenge, all she has to do is practice, practice and practice some more.

Next we meet Mike as he is about to go to his meet with a group of like minded demons and remembers to take his angel cake with him, a way to sweeten the evening, he also knows that he is late with his freedom payment when his hand starts to burn and his spine tingle, a sign that the connection between himself and Satan is itching for it to be paid. As the meeting winds up, Mike heads back home, he passes a few guys who he could read and see whether there could be a deal to strike, but he figures that it isn’t worth sending Satan yet another testicle as payment of the deal, he already has enough of those! He also sensed no malice in them and as he normally only made deals with those who would already be damned anyway, he passes on the opportunity, however, as soon as he gets past the restaurant downstairs and into his apartment, Satan is waiting for him, although it isn’t because he is late on a payment it is because he has a job for him, he is in need of a new assistant as his jealous girlfriend has gotten rid of the last one and he will only accept a witch, if Mike can manage it, then he can be free, so now the only thing Mike has to do is find one.

As Crimson and Mike decide to go to the same bar for different reasons and unbeknown to the other, they run into each other and the old flame ignites between them, but soon they have to go their separate ways before one of them decides to do something they would regret. The pull between them is too strong and they decide that they want to see where things will lead, but there are mishaps along the way and when they talk about it, they accidentally make a deal and Mike manages to damn Crimson when she agrees to give her body and soul to the devil in exchange for winning the contest against Rosemary.

This is a romp from New Orleans to Hell and back again, but will everything turn out to plan, or will history repeat itself? The only way to find out is to join the ride and find out.

Hunted (Hunted Series Book 1) by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk
4 Stars

I’ve always enjoyed books written by these authors. They know the best way to pull you in and keep you interested. I found this story to be quite ordinary its take on vampires. The world knows of them and the vampires have been trying to integrate since prohibition. They have gained certain rights and are fighting for more. Trying to show the world that they deserve love and life even while hunters chase them down.

Even after one hundred years, Edith still mourns the loss of her love. She’s constantly living in the past until she meets Darren. He makes her want to shed her reservations and live in the moment. Being a hunter, Darren never thought he’d meet a vampire he didn’t want to kill; until Edith. Unfortunately for them both, they are breaking clan laws. The clan leader will do everything in his power to stop them.

This is a story filled with desire, longing and danger. It’s hunters versus humans. Will you choose to be the hunter or the hunted? Another excellent book to add to these authors collection.

First, We Kill All the Lawyers (Donovan Trait Series) by Seelie Kay – Review by Erica Fish

First, We Kill All the LawyersFirst, We Kill All the Lawyers by Seelie Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have read other books by Seelie Kay, but I have to say this one is my favorite one so far. This is not your normal vampire book. The storyline is interesting and fun. There are some points that I had to go back and reread because I did not see the twist coming right at me. The characters are complex and interesting. The characters really bring the story to life. Donavan is a lawyer by day and a vampire by night. He has stumbled across a case in which someone is killing the lawyers. This is not a problem for Donavan as he is already dead. However, Donavan’s duo life is not public knowledge. The lawyer killer is out there but who will be the killer’s target since Donavan can not be killed? Can Donavan find the killer’s identity before it is too late? I highly recommend this story to find out the answers to these questions and more.
