SummaryDeath cocktail is what the vampires call a witch's blood. It's poisonous a drop will destroy a vampire within minutes. Nikolaus Drake is the rare vampire who has survived his first taste. Now he's on the hunt for the witch who almost brought him to his demise -- Ravin Crosse. A witch who spends her nights hunting vampire tribes, Ravin has three obligations to fulfill to set her soul free. One of those obligations crafting a love spell twists her world upside down when Nikolaus draws the spell from her veins. Natural enemies rarely make the best bedfellows but is it possible their intentions are really, truly the same? Can Nikolaus's tribal loyalty survive if he surrenders to desires far darker than his own? |

good thing it was free
Rating:
When i started reading this book I felt like I just stepped into the middle of a story. There is no background to explain the paranormal world they live in. I was not impressed with this book.
He can kiss me!
Rating:
Okay, so maybe this wasn't the most romantic of romance novels, but I still liked it. Although, I have to say the whole 'Himself' kinda grossed me out a little. Otherwise it was good story. Steamy and full of ... lets call them love scenes. Hot and sweaty love scenes. So if you looking for a soft, romantic storyline maybe this book isn't for you. But if you're looking for dark and passionate encounters, full of steam and love despite all evidence to the contrary, it's a good read. And hey, you can't beat the price!
Completely unbelievable...and I'm not talking about witches and vampires here
Rating:
Thank goodness this book was free. The story was completely unbelievable. I like fantasy. I like romance. I don't mind witches, werewolves and vampires. But PLEASE give me some kind of plot and character development. Two people just wandering around and screwing a bit doesn't make for a great book. It may be free, but my time is worth something!
Squandered Story Idea
Rating:
I got Kiss Me Deadly as a Kindle freebie offer. I don't just download everything that's free, only those that seem like they will interest me. This was one, based on the description on the Amazon page, that I had been looking forward to reading. I ended up being really disappointed and I'm glad I didn't have to pay to read it. (Edit to add: I guess maybe I should have read some of the reviews before downloading!)
The story itself sounded very intriguing. I liked the whole concept of witch blood being poison to vampires and something happening so that a vampire became immune, setting up everything else. Unfortunately, the writer squandered a good story idea with poor execution.
The characters were shallow and not too far into the book I had significant difficulty maintaining any interest. The love spell idea was a tricky twist to do right, and in this instance I think it fell completely flat. There was an opportunity for a lot of humor there, but that was squandered too. In the end the book just wasn't written well enough to care about the characters or keep me interested in what was going to happen.
It's also extremely difficult to take a book seriously when the author writes such gems as:
"If his tribe ever got wind of this they'd flail him alive."
"She stirred the officious brew as it began to boil."
"It was designed to only affect the recipient, not the receiver."
The above examples also beg the question, how in heck did an editor let those things slide past? Did the book even have an editor?
If you're looking for a good read this one isn't it.
Tricky One
Rating:
this was my first read by this author, the book started off a little slow and the dialogue was hard to determine who was speaking, I found myself going back to re-read to determine who was saying what? By the middle and towards the end I was totally HOOKED! the passions and the tricky devil HIMSELF cracked me up! Read it to see what I mean
