Review: Disciples of the Damned – The Vypers (Ep #2, Season 1) by April M. Reign
The Vypers (Book #2 Disciples of the Damned) by April M. Reign
The Vypers – Book 2 in April M. Reign’s DoD series – finds Dom contacting and striking a deal with the head of the Vypers – who are a rival gang of the DoD (Dom previously came across Shane and a few of his boys in Book 1!)
Dom agrees to provide vampire protection at certain times when Shane’s gang are moving their ‘mysterious’ shipments – in return, once he’s done what’s needed, Shane will provide Dom with the information he needs to track down Florin.
Should he trust the Vypers – will he get what he needs from Shane? Do the Vypers trust him, even though they need him?
Some secrets, a few new faces, more questions….. The series continues on at a pace. Looking forward to Book 3 and finding out what April has in store next for Dominic!!!!

Review – Beyond Denial (Beyond Series #2.5) by Kit Rocha
Beyond Denial – Kit Rocha
A short freebie (deleted scene from BC?!) from the Kit Rocha girls – released as a ‘bribe’ during the early rounds of the DABWAHA. The short features Ace & Jared (and Rachel).
The events take place during the party Lex organised for the new potentials from Sector 3 and are as hot, sexy and steamy as you would expect from Bree & Donna!!!
Beyond Denial gives us an little insight into Ace and his past, his feeling for & attraction to Rach and sets us up for their story in Beyond Jealousy…
As with the series proper, this short was smokin’ hot and a lot of fun – and, as with the series, if you haven’t read it already, check it out now!!!

Bonus – as well as being able to read on the KR site, Beyond Denial can be downloaded to your Kindle!!! 😀

Review – Mathilda, SuperWitch by Kristen Ashley
Mathilda, SuperWitch – Kristen Ashley
I’m a huge fan of Kristen’s books but when I started reading Mathilda I wasn’t quite sure what to expect….
It’s a bit different from the series that I love – Dream Man, The Three, Unfinished Heroes (and I’m sure the upcoming Chaos series!!) – you know the ones: hot, heavy & sexy – but it’s still a fantastic read. Nowhere near as steamy as you would expect from KA but the romance was still there.
Kristen took a girl who had no idea she was a witch and threw her into the magic world. She chucked in a kooky family, a witch coven, some great & loyal friends, a trendy coffee shop and 2 hot and very competetive ‘bodyguards’.
The plot was really good – there were a few twists and turns, a lot of laugh out loud moments, a few ‘gasp & I can’t believe its’ – which had me a little bit teary eyed – and an ending that set us up for a future book on the life and times of Mathilda and her friends!!
Definitely in the ‘read again’ category…. Check out Mathilda now, you’ll be glad you did!!!

Book Recommendation – Crave (#2 VET series) by Felicity Heaton
Check out a fab series by an awesome author!!
Vampirerotique Theatre.. Book 2
Crave
by Felicity Heaton
His mind has been set on his work for the past one hundred years. Now a forbidden beauty has stolen his attention and is threatening to steal his heart too.
Callum has come to the city of romance on business, not pleasure, but when he sets eyes on a gorgeous werewolf in a nightclub, he can’t ignore the dark carnal craving she ignites in him. His work for Vampirerotique, the erotic theatre he runs with three other vampires, can wait. The only thing that matters now is satisfying his sinful hunger for a woman who most vampires would consider an enemy.
Kristina is on the run from her pack. Her alpha is intent on forcing her to bear his child and she’s not about to live through the same nightmare as her mother had. When a tall, dark and sexy vampire catches her eye, she can’t believe the ferocity of the desire he unleashes in her or the fact that she enjoys the feel of his eyes on her and his silent pursuit of her in the clubs each night.
When Kristina finally gets a taste of Callum in a forbidden kiss, will she be strong enough to resist the allure of the vampire and his offer to share his bed for a week of unbridled, wild sex, or will she surrender to her own craving for the safety and passion she finds in his embrace?

REVIEW & Book Recommendation: UNDENIABLE by Madeline Sheehan
UNDENIABLE by MADELINE SHEEHAN
Blurb:
Warning: This is not a typical, sappy, love story. This is an all-consuming, soul-crushing, tear-your-heart-into-pieces story. It’s intense, gritty and raw, dark and disturbing, and it doesn’t happen overnight. This is an epic love story that knows no boundaries and has no time limits. It grows and develops—with hurt, sacrifice, and heartache—over the span of a lifetime.
Eva Fox is the princess of the Silver Demons Motorcycle Club. Growing up with bikers in the club lifestyle is all that she knows. When she’s a young girl, Eva meets the reason for her existence. Deuce West is the sexy, biker bad-ass of the Hell’s Horsemen Motorcycle Club. Like Eva, he was born and raised in the club—but that’s where the similarities end. Their first meeting is innocent, but as Eva matures into a woman, their chance reunions evolve into a fit of lust and love. Fate continues to bring them together time and time again, but their twisted journey is filled with pain, betrayal, and bloodshed that could tear them apart. Eva sees in Deuce what he cannot see in himself—a man worthy of love—and Eva spends her lifetime proving to him that her undeniable love is the one thing he can’t live without.
This is Eva and Deuce’s story.
It wasn’t easy.
Nothing worth doing ever is.
And love is worth everything.
MY REVIEW:
I picked up Undeniable after reading a fab review over at Herding Cats & Burning Soup BlogSpot – thanks for such an honest, open review, you were on the money with this one!! – the comments grabbed me and so did the book!!
Bought it late last night and have just finished it this afternoon – would have been quicker if only real life hadn’t rudely interrupted!!! I love both Kit Rocha & Kirsten Ashley – man, those 3 girls know how to write an ‘anti-hero’ type hero!!! – for me, Undeniable is quite similar in style to their books except for the fact it seems to be on mega doses of steroids!!!
What can I say but “OMFG, what an AWESOME fckin’ read”!! This was a book that was fast and furious (in some instances quite literally). Eva and Deuce have totally f*cked up lives with tons of issues. At points I really liked D (fell for him as hard as E did at one point!!) but at others I wanted to kill him with my bare hands… He was a total b*stard at times and at points I honestly wanted E to give up on him and forget he ever existed – yeah, right, like that was ever gonna happen!!!…….
Eva, what a truly great girl – brave, sassy & smart – she hasn’t had an easy life and during the 25 years the book covers, she has to put up with a helluva load of crap that no-one, especially not someone as good as she was, should ever have to deal with.
Frankie – not gonna say much about that crazy-ass psycho!! Kami – Eva’s BFF and a great character along with the MC club boys – Demons & Horsemen alike inc Cox, Ripper, ZZ and Jase – all add to the mix to make this is truly fantastic read!!!
The story involves gang dealings & issues, rape, cheating (so not something I can usually stomach in a book but, with Undeniable, I couldn’t stop reading and I just made my way through these times). The book had swearing, sex, violence, betrayal, hurt & heartache, tension and anger in spades.
Reading it I laughed out loud, I got mad mad mad, I felt desperately for both Eva & Deuce at times and I was in tears at a couple of points…. Jeez, it was emotionally destroying but it’s still one of the best books I’ve read in a while!!! Don’t get me wrong, Undeniable ISN’T for everybody and if you don’t like to read dark, hard, bad and dangerous you should probably look for another book… To quote Eva “It wasn’t easy. Nothing worth doing ever is” but for me, this book was SO worth the time and effort it demanded!!!!
Personally I think this is a 5* read (jeez I’d give it more if I could) and I can’t wait to get my hands on Madeline Sheehans’s next chapter in the ‘Undeniable’ series. I’ve got a feeling Danny’s story ‘Unbeautifully’ is gonna be as wild a ride as Eva & Deuce’s!!!!!

Coming Soon – ‘Dark Salvation’ by Katie Salidas….. Release Date: 1 April 2013
SYNOPSIS:
A gathering storm of violence is on the horizon. Whispered threats of the Acta Sanctorum’s return have the supernatural world abuzz. Only recently aware of the other world hidden behind our own, Kitara Vanders has barely scratched the surface of what being supernatural truly means.
A special woman in her own right, she possesses unique telepathic abilities, gifts that have recently come under the scrutiny of the Acta Sanctorum, a fanatical organization whose mission is to cleanse the world of anything supernatural. Targeted and marked for death, Kitara’s only hope lies with the lethally seductive yet emotionally scarred warrior Nicholas.
Knowing full well the atrocities of which the Acta Sanctorum is capable, Nicholas is all too eager for the battle to begin. Fueled by pain and rage from the loss of his mate, he’s itching for a fight, but one thing stands in his way: Kitara, a beautiful dark-haired woman with unique psychic abilities and an unusual link to the Saints. Despite his resolve to remain focused on his mission, a purely physical relationship binds them together in a way neither of them expected. And when her life hangs in the balance, Nicholas finds his own is teetering on the edge too.

EXCERPT
He looked at his arm. The wound was still there, but it had begun to scab over. Her blood was already working magic. “You took a dangerous risk.”
“I was armed.” She held the blade, a 10-inch chef’s knife up ready to strike.
Without warning, Nicholas lunged forward and grabbed Kitara’s wrist in a crushing grip. He pushed her backwards, pinning her to the wall with his body. She tried to struggle, but was no match for Nicholas. He took her free hand and held it firm against the wall.
Kitara’s heartbeat raced, vibrating through her chest into Nicholas’s body. The tantalizing thump-thump sent all of his blood rushing south. A new need arose within Nicholas. One he had not satisfied in a long while. Kitara’s breath shuddered. Nicholas felt the contracting of her muscles as she tried to fight his grip and bring the knife down upon him. Her human strength was nothing. Even in his weakened state he held her firm, but he admired her spirit. The smell of her fear, and her sweet orange and vanilla scent, called out to him. He bent his head low to take a better whiff. His nose grazed the soft skin at the base of her neck. She was a delicious temptation. He’d already sampled her blood once; he knew how rich and sweet she tasted, and he longed for more. He bent lower, drawing out the moment, savoring the anticipation, reveling in the frantic thump-thump of her calling heart, the pulsing artery in her neck practically begging for him to open up and devour all she had to give. Nicholas let out a slow breath and reined in his hunger. He gently pressed his lips against the soft warmth of her skin. Just a simple kiss, but that alone had its own satisfying effect.
Kitara’s body spasmed under his grip. She let out a strangled squeal, then went slack in his arms.
Nicholas held her firm, wrapping one arm around her waist, taking on her weight and keeping her upright. “Have I made my point?” Husky need filled his voice. Oh, how he wanted to slake his desire for her blood and her body! But that could not happen.
“Yes.” Her words came out in a whisper. The heat from her breath blew against his ear and her body pressed so close to his. Her warmth. Her scent. He was the one supposed to be in control, yet everything about her made him want to sit up and beg like a dog. All of his remaining blood had traveled down south, and suddenly his pants became unbearably tight.
