This week went by way too fast. I'm seriously digging the NC winter. It is been like an Indiana early, frosty spring for months. I spent the week working from the kitchen table instead of my office. I should move all my stuff back downstairs, but the morning view out of five windows keep whispering, nope, to me. The table chair will probably be the reason why I go back to my writing den. LOL!

Title: One Bite with a Vampire
Series: Hidden Species, 2
Author(s): Louisa Masters
Length: 255 pages
Genre: Romance / Paranormal / Urban Fantasy / Vampire / Gay /
Notes: Loved this book and the series.
Blurb: Getting kidnapped was never part of my life plan. But being rescued opened up a whole world of crazy.
It’s not easy being the only human at the Community of Species Government—and especially not when you’re the rescue case. Two years ago, I was planning to go to college, have a wild time, then settle into a normal life. Instead, I was kidnapped, spent months being a test subject, was in hiding for nearly a year, and then found out that my whole existence is a science experiment conducted by the bad guys. It’s definitely time to reassess.
My rescuers at CSG have been awesome… mostly. They gave me a job, a home, and a support network. But the whole demons, vampires, shifters thing is not easy to get used to. Especially when one particular vampire makes me want to take up stake sharpening for a hobby. How can someone be over eight centuries old and have the maturity of a drunk frat boy?
The thing is, teenage mentality or not, Andrew is a fierce protector. With the bad guys still on the loose, I need someone like that on my side. Plus, did I mention that he’s not hard to look at? I could stare at him all day if only he never opened his mouth.
As we race to find my former captor before he can find me, life takes another twist and upends my world all over again. This time, though, I’m ready—after all, I’ve got an eight-hundred-year-old vampire at my back. What could possibly go wrong?
Title: The Segonian
Series: The Alderbarian Alliance, 2
Author(s): Dianne Duvall
Length: 506 pages
Genre: Romance / Sci-fi / Vampires in Space! / Action & Adventure
Notes: I have been waiting for this book. I actually squee'd when the preorder popped up on my kindle app! LOVE it. Can it be read as a standalone, yes.
Blurb: Eliana’s life has never been what one might term ordinary. At least, it hasn’t been for a very long time. As a powerful Immortal Guardian, she spends her nights hunting and slaying psychotic vampires that most of humanity doesn’t even realize exist. Then an opportunity arises that instantly makes her extraordinary existence seem downright boring. The leader of the Immortal Guardians asks her to guard a group of mortals who are embarking upon a voyage across the galaxy to the planet Lasara. How could she possibly say no?
In no time at all, Eliana is hurtling through space on board a Lasaran battleship and getting to know not one but two alien races. It’s the most exciting adventure of her long life… until the ship is unexpectedly attacked. Amid the chaos and destruction that follow, she valiantly helps everyone she can before an explosion renders her unconscious. When Eliana awakens, she finds herself alone, floating in space, clad only in a spacesuit, with no ship in sight. Alone—that is—except for the warm, deep voice that carries over the comm in her helmet.
Commander Dagon and the crew of the Segonian battleship Ranasura respond to a distress call from their Lasaran allies and join a massive Alliance-wide search-and-rescue mission. He quickly achieves communication with a lone Earthling female and races toward her. Every time they speak, his fascination with her grows and he becomes more desperate to reach her before her oxygen supply runs out. Her strength, bravery, and humor entice him, even more so when she defies all odds and they meet in person.
As he and Eliana embark upon a quest to find her missing friends, a bond swiftly grows between them that deepens with every laugh and smile and tender touch they share. But they are not the only ones searching for Earthling survivors. When Eliana herself becomes the hunted and their enemies begin to close in, can the two of them fight their way to victory, or will their enemies take everything?
Title: Wild Wolf
Series: Wolf Hunt, 2
Author(s): RJ Blain
Length: 219 pages
Genre: Paranormal / Mystery / Action & Adventure
Notes: this is a preorder I completely forgot I order until it popped up on my kindle app. LOL! The first book was really good and it left me with a bit of HFN-hang. It wasn't a cliff, but he... I cannot say else give away spoilers to the first book.
Blurb: After making his escape to Russia, Declan McGrady believes he finally has the chance to start over. Mysterious deaths in the place he’s chosen as home serve to shatter his delusions.
He can’t hide forever, and in Russia, folklores aren’t just tales of the past: they’re real. Alone, Declan has no chance of stopping the wild wolf preying on the innocent. For any hope of victory, he must rely upon those he’d abandoned on Bodwin’s mountain—if he dares.
Title: Lady Jackie
Series: Lady Jackie Chronicles
Author(s): Quirah Casey
Length: 176 pages
Genre: Dark Romance / Paranormal / Vampires / Magic / Med Burn RH / Bisexual
Notes: I started this one the other night. I've not read this author before and since I like vampires and this one seemed that the vampires were morally ambiguous, I thought I would give it a go.
Blurb: Some call me Madam, others call me The Devil's Spawn, but you can call me Lady Jackie.Being Gentleman’s Jack’s daughter has always made my life hard. So when he goes missing, I’m perfectly fine with letting him stay that way.
That changes when the Oliberos Coven appears on the doorstep of the brothel I now claim as mine. Beating down lowlifes looking for "Gentleman Jack" was one thing, but having the most dangerous vampire breathing down my neck is another.
Now if I want my five new stalkers out of my life, I have no choice but to find Daddy Dearest. But I don’t anticipate the new threats that lurk on Bourbon street or the way they force me to have to work with the Oliberos Coven.
And I certainly don't anticipate the dangerous attraction that ensues...
This is the first book in a dark, medium burn reverse harem series which will feature m/f, m/m, f/f, and everything in between. If you don't like chaotic, brothel owning vampire heroines with daddy issues this book may not be for you.
Title: Death Retires
Series: Death Retired Mysteries, 1
Author(s): Cate Lawley
Length: 298 pages

Or he was, until murder intrudes on his quiet retirement plans. Geoff's stalked by ghosts, and his former bosses have saddled him with the care of a possessed bobcat. With his beautiful neighbor Sylvie and his cat's help, can he solve a fiendish crime?
Click to see how Geoff becomes involved in his first murder investigation and all of the uproarious antics that ensue.

Title: The Unspoken Name
Series: (The Serpent Gates Book 1)
Author(s): AK Larkwood
Length: 498 pages
Genre: High Fantasy
Notes: This has been on my TBR for a little over a year. I even bought the audiobook when I put it on the TBR. It came up on the group's reading list for the month and I dusted it off. LOL
Blurb: A. K. Larkwood's The Unspoken Name is a stunning debut fantasy about a young priestess sentenced to die, who at the last minute escapes her fate; only to become an assassin for the wizard who saved her.
What if you knew how and when you will die?
Csorwe does—she will climb the mountain, enter the Shrine of the Unspoken, and gain the most honored title: sacrifice.
But on the day of her foretold death, a powerful mage offers her a new fate. Leave with him, and live. Turn away from her destiny and her god to become a thief, a spy, an assassin—the wizard's loyal sword. Topple an empire, and help him reclaim his seat of power.
But Csorwe will soon learn—gods remember, and if you live long enough, all debts come due.
Thank you for stopping by and reading!!
