Blood Slaves By N.L. Hoffmann Review

Blood Slaves By  N.L. Hoffmann

In the vampire world the Covert has been around for hundreds of years. They take girls off the streets and then sell them to vampires who are looking to “collect” women for unpleasant purposes. It is a nasty business but vampires see humans as objects so buying one from the Covert is like adding another car to your collection. It wasn’t uncommon to hear another girl go missing off the streets, but when girls from well-known families begin to disappear, the Supernatural Crime Division begins to take notice.

Blake Noble is assigned by her superior to investigate the disappearance of his niece and to take down the Covert. Blake being the daughter of Lucifer and a famous vampire mother uses her abilities to survive through the investigation. Between demon lessons from her father and falling for the Deputy Director she tries to find a way to take down a several hundred year old business. Only she soon realizes people she trusted are involved.

Blake Noble is a half vampire, half demon with a little witch thrown in for good measure. When we first meet her she is working for the SCD, Supernatural Crime Division and is going undercover to find out who kidnapped her boss’s niece. From there she gets betrayed,  discovers new powers, gets kidnapped,kicks some ass,reconnects with an old friend,falls in love, meets her father, who just happens to be Lucifer.

  What did I think about Blood Slaves? If you have had read any of my reviews you know I am not a fan of the “insta-love” aspect. Which we have in this book. Though Blake didn't go overboard like a lot characters tend to do, that he wasn't the only thing that mattered to her. Blake is independent, strong willed, snarky and has more courage at times than common sense. She tends to barrel into situations without being prepared. I felt that about half way through the book it was a bit rushed. I thought that something that needed more explaining was brushed over. Even with all of that I finished the book in one sitting. It kept my attention and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Book Review: Kiss Assitude By Trish Jackson

I won Kick Assitude over on Goodreads. When I got then book I didn't realize that it was a second book in a (hopefully) series. Even though I hadn't read the first book this one filled me in without it being an information dump for someone that had read the first one.Here is the blurb about the book:
Small town redneck P.I. Twila Taunton is hell-bent on solving her mother's murder. Accompanied by her canine companion, she follows the trail of a cold murder case and discovers a secret code on the skeletal remains--Cyder Hill 1952. Sexy cowboy Tanner Ferrano makes a concerted effort to seduce her and drive a wedge into her relationship with long distance boyfriend, hunky Harland O'Connor. When hard-drinking, weed-smoking Great Aunt Essie cracks the code, they head to a haunted mansion in the dead of night, mindful of the man-eating wild boars that patrol the grounds... Twila is not certain whether she'll succumb to Tanner's advances or end up rolling in the hay with Harland. She does know one thing, though. It's gonna be wild and passionate.

I liked most of the book. Once I started I had to finish.I was unsure of who the murders were until the end. I also liked how Ms.Jackson didn't make Twila out to be a "Saint" in her love life nor did she make a umm what is the word I am looking for..I will go with promiscuous.

Twila is what you see is what get type of woman. She is stubborn,loyal,strong and smart. She gets in a little overhead and knows when she needs to call for backup. If you like a want a book with a good southern girl,beer drinking weed smoking Harley riding Aunt,an adorable pup named Scratch and a mystery to solve well your search is over.
