Strange Fates by Marlene Perez

****

Nyx Fortuna has a plan: he wants to avenge the death of his mother, the fourth Fate that no one ever hears about, which means tracking down her three sisters (the ones he holds responsible) without them knowing who he is. Having followed the three Fates to Minneapolis, Nyx finds it difficult to keep a low profile, even with the occulo spell that obscures what he really looks like, when he defends a young woman in a bar, and ends up stabbed for his trouble. Given his status as an immortal, Nyx does not die from his wounds, but Elizabeth, the young woman, does not know this, and takes him to her home to recover. Despite his attraction to Elizabeth, and perhaps even because of it, Nyx leaves the house, promising to return. (more…)

Dirty Valkyrie by R.M. Sotera

**

Dirty Valkyrie is the third installment in the Dirty Series by R.M. Sotera. I highly suggest that you read the first two entries as it is not a stand alone novella.

Dirty Valkyrie starts with the wedding of Jett, a demon-slaying estranged son of Thor to Sophia, a human. His sister, Brandi, a demi-goddess Valkyrie is the Maid of Honor and her date to the wedding is Laurent, a Master Vampire ally of the twins. Laurent thought he was in love with Sophia, but realizes that what he thought was love pales in comparison to how he feels for the Valkyrie, Brandi. He sets out to seduce her and after initially denying her feelings, Brandi dives head-first into a relationship with Laurent. (more…)

Audio Review: Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Posted under Reviews by Hockeyvamp on Thursday 6 December 2012 at 3:15 pm
*****

I know every fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunters series has read Acheron. It is one of the most emotional romance books that I have ever read. With that said, it is not just a romance. It is a gut-wrenching Greek Tragedy. It is a paranormal romance that will tear you apart and then many, many pages later allow you to pull yourself together. And it is the most pivotal book I have read in this or pretty much any series. You cannot read Acheron without a tear or several rolling down your cheek. You cannot listen to Holter Graham’s voice as he brings this story to life without bawling your eyes out and curling up in a ball trying to keep yourself from feeling Ash’s pain.

Out for Blood by Kristen Painter

****½

There are several narrators in the House of Comarré series, so I’m going to structure this review a bit differently than normal.

Mal and Chrysabelle: A good chunk of their story revolves around their feelings for each other and what that means for the cursed vampire and former comarré, or blood servant. The main mysteries in their lives revolve around the possible identity of Chrysabelle’s brother, the effects of melting down the ring of sorrows and using it to replace Chrysabelle’s signum, and the attempted retrieval of the vampire baby.

Doc and Fi: Fi is, obviously, still not happy with the “benefits” Doc received when he became pride leader. She makes a pretty bold stance to get back what she lost, and I have the feeling the repercussions are going to be severe.

On a cruise ship, throw together Roman, Greek, Norse and Indian gods, stir in a few humans and one depressed Vampire, and you have a guaranteed recipe for a rollicking good time—on the deck, on a beach, on a table top, and occasionally under the sea. Unfortunately for Mercury the Messenger, he is in charge of security, and rollicking good times are exactly what he was trying to avoid during the “Deities International Conference and Kibitz, known affectionately as DICK”.

Blood Rights by Kristen Painter

Chrysabelle is a comarré, a human whose sole purpose is to please her vampire master — think a mixture of an ever-full refrigerator and a Geisha. Comarré are impossible to miss; their skin is tattooed with golden designs, identifying them better than any nametag could.

Chrysabelle is also a murderess. Or so the vampires think. Her patron was murdered and she’s the prime suspect. Instead of waiting around to be punished for a crime she didn’t commit, Chrysabelle runs to the only man who can help her: Malkolm, a vampire not only cursed to kill whomever he drinks from, but a vampire cursed with the joy of hearing the voices of said victims in his head.
