Early Review: The Untamed Vampire by Kate Baxter (Last True Vampire #4)

WILD AT HEART

Chelle is not your typical vampire. Turned not with a bite but an age-old magic, she’s the only one of her kind—and more powerful than most. Still adjusting to her endless thirst and lethal fangs, she’s desperate to discover what sets her apart. When she encounters a brutally virile alpha werewolf, she soon learns that she’s not immune to the mating call—and her own primal longing…

The leader of the ancient Forkbeard pack, Gunnar is stunned by Chelle’s lush beauty. The wild wolf inside him howls for her, but unions between vampire and werewolf are strictly taboo—even if their clans weren’t on the verge of war. Desire has never been so dangerous…but, as a malevolent new power rises, Chelle and Gunnar face an even more frightening threat. Together, they might find a way to save their clans. But can they claim their passion, in The Untamed Vampire by Kate Baxter.

Early Review: Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs

In the #1 New York Times bestselling Mercy Thompson novels, the coyote shapeshifter has found her voice in the werewolf pack. But when Mercy's bond with the pack and her mate is broken, she'll learn what it truly means to be alone...

Attacked and abducted in her home territory, Mercy finds herself in the clutches of the most powerful vampire in the world, taken as a weapon to use against alpha werewolf Adam and the ruler of the Tri-Cities vampires. In coyote form, Mercy escapes only to find herself without money, without clothing, and alone in the heart of Europe...

Unable to contact Adam and the rest of the pack, Mercy has allies to find and enemies to fight, and she needs to figure out which is which. Ancient powers stir, and Mercy must be her agile best to avoid causing a war between vampires and werewolves, and between werewolves and werewolves. And in the heart of the ancient city of Prague, old ghosts rise...

5 STARS

 

      Brilliant!  Silence Fallen is by far my favorite Mercy novel to date. Electrifying action from start to finish!  Mercy shines as she learns more about her own powers and at what lengths she will go to survive to be with Adam again.   Enjoyed the journey to Prague with it's rich history and unique paranormal elements. Briggs delves deeper into the whys and hows of Mercy's abilities and history as she continues to escape and be captured throughout Europe. Unraveling the mystery of who is to blame will be no easy feat. The chapter headings were fantastic, it drew a wonderful timeline to place the events of the story.  A must read!!!

Early Review: Etched in Bone by Anne Bishop

New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop returns to her world of the Others, as humans struggle to survive in the shadow of shapeshifters and vampires far more powerful than themselves...

 

After a human uprising was brutally put down by the Elders—a primitive and lethal form of the Others—the few cities left under human control are far-flung. And the people within them now know to fear the no-man's-land beyond their borders—and the darkness...

 

As some communities struggle to rebuild, Lakeside Courtyard has emerged relatively unscathed, though Simon Wolfgard, its wolf shifter leader, and blood prophet Meg Corbyn must work with the human pack to maintain the fragile peace. But all their efforts are threatened when Lieutenant Montgomery's shady brother arrives, looking for a free ride and easy pickings. 

 

With the humans on guard against one of their own, tensions rise, drawing the attention of the Elders, who are curious about the effect such an insignificant predator can have on a pack. But Meg knows the dangers, for she has seen in the cards how it will all end—with her standing beside a grave...

5 STARS

 

Outstanding story-telling!  Etched in Bone by Anne Bishop continues to delight!  Bishop has such a unique way of introducing the already familiar in an abstract and new manner.  Meg and Simon continue to intrigue readers as they once again work as a united force to save those near and dear to them.  The enemy gets closer and closer with every book, keeping those that live in the courtyard on high alert.  Absorbing!  Etched in Bone is another fantastic addition to The Others collection of riveting!  A must read!
