Quinn's Destiny (A Companion's Tale #1) by Emily Jean

Review

*****

This story is a cleverly woven with three main characters being Quinn A being created by warlocks, Desmond a warlock and Ralph a vampire prince.
Quinn is the central character, known as a warlock companion, created just a year ago to help the warlocks get the upper hand in the war that has been raging between warlocks and vampires. All seems straight, forward right?
It should have been, but fate has other ideas. A chain of events starts when Quinn’s warlock master is killed by Ralphs vampire brother. This sets Ralph on a mission to find Quinn, to see how his brother was killed.
When Ralph catches up with Quinn and takes him prisoner to question him. There is an instant attraction between them, a pull to each other.
Then the creator of Quinn comes after him and takes him back to Warlock territory. Where Quinn finds out he is not just a standard companion, He also has the same kind of pull toward Desmond his maker.
Quinn is caught between the two men, who are on opposite sides. Can they work a way for them to live together, can they find a solution? All this is happening in a bitter war that rages on around them.

The story is about trust, understanding and adjusting and hopefully finding common ground. The book paints a vivid story with three very different characters that weave a complicated life ahead.

The story is an exciting read, nicely paced and vivid descriptions.

Professor Blood (Ironwrought #2) by Anna Wineheart

Review

*****

This is the second book in Anna Wineheart  Ironwrought Vampire series.   I really enjoyed the first book, and this one was to me even more enjoyable.  I love the love hate relationship between Quinn a 200-year-old vampire and a young student that also hunts and kills vampires.

Quinn does not drink from humans, not since he accidently drained and killed his sister.  Quinn is a scientist and his ambition is to finally find a way of making a fake blood substance that will feed vampires as good as human blood does.

Branden’s parents were killed by vampires, and ever since he has been on a mission to kill all vampires and save the humans.

They really should not be attracted to each other, putting themselves in danger of other.  But we all know that if there is an instant attraction there is nothing we can do to stop fate happening.

Branden soon learns that Quinn is not like most vampires and is fighting a all mighty internal battle to keep to no human feeding.  But Branden cannot accept that he has feelings for Quinn and even informs the FBI about Quinn’s friends Seb and Oriel, Oriel’s blood is very addictive to vampires and puts them in a frenzy haze, The FBI wants Oriel’s blood to use as a weapon against vampires.

Branden realises after finding out that the FBI have caught Quinn, and have stolen Oriels blood that there is something very wrong going on, and that he actually is falling in love with his Vampire.  But has he realised in time to save Quinn and his friends.

A very well written paranormal / romance / thriller.  That is exciting to read as the tension builds and builds as you read the book.  As with the first book Forbidden Blood,  The characters are real and easy to connect and relate to them.

The Red Sun Rises Box Set

Review

A fantastic series, full of action, love, humour.   I loved every page of this series.  My favorite character is Corbijn,  Erins (not boyfriend!).  

Although the story is set in a modern world, you really get a feeling of the mystical world within the real world.   Very descriptive writing.   The characters are real and really do compliment each other perfectly.  We have snazzy dressed vampire Corbijn,  We have the cool logical Erin. leading the gang from Magic/ Vampire wars, to investigations to diplomatic missions.   And all three novels are tied up nicely in a surprising way, but you will just have to buy the books to find out how.  The author certainly put the characters through their paces, and there were heartaches along the way.  I heard a rumor that there may be more to come from Erin and Corbijn  and co.   I can not imagine what they might get involved in if they do return.   But I know I will be first in line to buy anymore of the series.
