Fangirl Thursday with Melanie Gilbert

I'm a huge fan of Melanie's work.  With her new Blood & Magic Series, she takes her edgy clean brand a bit edgier and a lot steamier.  Melanie is bringing the heat with bad boy Gabe and his sultry huntress Lennon. Be still my heart! This series is comprised of three action pack novellas, each hotter than the one before. No worries though, while Gilbert's writing is saucier and darker, she still sticks to your clean brand.  You can read the series for FREE in KU or snag yourself the complete season one in a paperback.

Even the villain will do the right thing…for the wrong reason.

Vampires are driven by blood, and Gabriel Zach is no exception. In over one hundred years, he’s never smelled anything as divine and exquisite as the blood of vampire hunter, Lennon Stewart. And he’s never met anyone who drives his lust through the roof quite like her.

But Gabe isn’t the only monster who’s attracted to Lennon’s scent. An attack by a mysterious monster leaves the hunter in the arms of her worst enemy: Gabriel, the vampire stalking her. If he’s not strong enough, he’ll devour her before he’s ready.

Lennon’s job is to kill monsters, but Gabe’s job is to keep her alive, if only for selfish purposes. At the end of the day, will both make it to sunrise alive?

Once you choose, there’s no going back.

Gabriel Zach’s villainous past comes back to bite him with the arrival of a hunter intent on dusting him. Fearful for his life, Gabe makes a hard decision: stay home. But seclusion means no blood, no women, and no Lennon Stewart.

Gabe’s world deteriorates further when Lennon shows up on his front doorstep, covered in blood. With Berkley Stewart on board, Gabe and Easton begin to hunt down the monster responsible. Only, once bitten, there’s no changing fate.

Lennon is dying and the clock is ticking. Will magic be enough to save her or will Gabe need to drink his favorite hunter dry to save the huntress from a fate worse than death?

For fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vampire Diaries, and K.F. Breene.

Vampire retirement is a thing, right?

Lennon’s in need of help and Gabe’s the only one who can offer it. However, it comes with a price, a price Lennon will pay to help avenge a hunter’s death. But when they find out what murdered the hunter, even Gabe has the good sense to be scared.

As if a hunter-killing monster on the loose wasn’t bad enough, Gabe’s past is being revealed one piece at a time. Even Lennon can’t help but see the real man behind the arrogance. If Gabe can’t keep the walls up that he’s built around his memories, he could lose every relationship he’s built.

Protective roles have switched and Gabe’s not sure if anyone has his back. Still, one thing remains the same: hunters want Gabe dusted.

For fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vampire Diaries, and K.F. Breene.

Spooktacular Reads ~ The Collector Series by K.R. Alexander

I read The Collector last year as part of my Spooktacular Reads but since I am featuring book 2, The Collected, I am including it again! K.R. Alexander is the perfect author to feature for Halloween!

The Collector

Picture
​Josie always liked visiting her grandmother in the countryside. But when her mother loses her job in the city and they're forced to relocate along with Josie's sister, Annie, she realizes she doesn't like the country that much. Especially because Grandma Jeannie has some strange rules:
1. Never leave your windows open after dark.
2. Don't bring any dolls into the house.
3. And never, ever go near the house in the woods behind their yard.
Soon though, Josie manages to make friends with the most popular girl in the sixth grade, Vanessa. When Vanessa eventually invites Josie back to her house to hang out, Josie doesn't question it. Not even when Vanessa takes her into the woods, and down an old dirt road, toward the very house Grandma Jeannie had warned her about.

As Josie gets caught up in her illicit friendship with Vanessa, Annie is caught in the crossfire. What follows is a chilling tale of dark magic, friendship, and some verrrrrry creepy dolls.

The Collector is a spine tingling page Definitely not for the faint of heart or doll collectors. Part mystery, all horror.

I loved this middle grade horror and definitely plan on snagging up more books by this author.

The Collected

Picture
​From horror superstar K.R. Alexander . . . Something horrible happened to Josie -- something so horrible she won't talk about it. But when the horror returns for her little sister, Anna, she's back in the battle against a fearsome force that manifests in diabolically deadly dolls.

It's been five years since Josie squared off against the evil Beryl and her killer haunted dolls. She hasn't talked about it since, and likes to pretend it didn't happen. Too bad she didn't tell her younger sister, Anna. Because Anna is now the one being drawn in to the evil -- and the evil has some new tricks this time.

Review

5 Stars
The Collected takes place five years after book 1, The Collector. Told from the younger sister Anna's POV, we once again find ourselves surrounded by creepy dolls in the woods while under attack from Beryl. I like that in this installment we find out more about Anna and the secrets buried in her mind.

While not as scary as the first book in the series, I still enjoyed the creepy mind of K.R. Alexander. The character Beryl is a spooktacular villain who reminds me of the witch from the movie Darkness Falls.

DARK OF NIGHT
By Heather Karn & Melanie Gilbert
Release Date: September 29, 2021
PREORDER HERE
​Henley Stark is no angel, but she is a survivor.
Disowned by her witch coven as a teenager, Henley was driven to Amos, a vampire loan shark. There’s little Henley hasn’t done to keep a roof over her head and food in her stomach as Amos trained her for his purposes. It all comes to a head when Amos assigns Henley and Alex, her newly found mate, to a job that can only lead to death.
Going up against the greatest threat the vampires have ever known, it’s clear one or both of them will not survive the encounter. However, as Alex begins to soften toward her, Henley must decide if giving them a chance is worth the effort, especially when she’ll likely be dead soon anyway.
Can Henley find her worth and true love before the mission ultimately claims her life?
For readers who enjoy books by K.F. Breene, Heather Hildebrand, Jaymin Eve, and Karen Lynch.

My Review...

​An action packed, edge of your seat, twist you don't see coming, paranormal romance from the dynamic duo of Gilbert and Karn! I can't wait for more!

I started this book shortly before midnight and swiped the last page around 3am this morning.

I love the tough as nails, smart mouthed, witty MC Henley! The heat between her and Alex is on fire! And that twist!!!!!

Meet Heather Karn

Picture
Heather is a lover of all books YA Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy, but it wasn’t until she was in college that she realized this. It’s likely why the book she wrote in 8th grade was rewritten several times and then set aside to sit on her bookshelf to never see the light of day. Once Heather found the genre that she enjoyed above all others, she dove back into reading, and with it, writing. That’s why even her Christmas books are filled with dragons and shifters.
Currently, Heather and her writing companion, Gunney, live in Wisconsin. He’s her Pomeranian that loves to keep her company while she writes and edits. He also keeps her on her toes. They can often be found wandering the local cemetery to escape the apartment, sitting out on the back deck, or snuggling on the couch writing. If Heather isn’t writing, she’s listening to music while crocheting, making Christmas ornaments, or reading. Some form of music is always playing, and each book has its own theme song or album.
