Paul and Tiavano are back with a bang!

Fangsgiving CoverFangsgiving by Robert Winter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Robert Winter’s Vampire Claus is one of my favourite festive reads so I was delighted to hear he was returning to the series with a follow-up.

Fangsgiving has all the same elements which made the first one such a success for me, a complex vampire, a cute as a button human and a romance for the ages.

Here we discover Paul and Taviano are still as solid as they were at the end of the previous book but Taviano’s demon is still refusing to turn Paul and make him into a vampire. As the book progresses, strange things start occurring, leading to a confrontation with Taviano’s maker.

As Paul and his immediate family get embroiled in a centuries old vampire’s quest to rule over all, things get serious and decisions are made which will have major repercussions going forward.

I thoroughly enjoyed this second installment, even if it has a bit of an open ending as book three is on the way. Paul and Taviano are still madly in love and I enjoy the spark which crackles between them. We also got to meet two new vampires who look like they will be allies going forward and Malik was a super sweetie.

There’s the same level of dramatic action going on here as with the first one and the Boston setting is as strong as ever.

I’m eagerly waiting for book three now because I’m desperate to know what Paul’s new discovery means for him and Taviano, and the rest of the vampires, going forward.

Metal Heart Cover

Blurb

When stray human Matthew wanders into Black Dog shifter pack territory, he’s injured and vulnerable. The last thing Matthew expects is for the pack’s alpha to be the home he’s always been looking for.

Bram can’t believe his nose when the trespasser his enforcers drop at his feet turns out to be something entirely different. Nursing Matthew back to health becomes Bram’s priority, but the pack isn’t thrilled to have a human in their midst.

When the pack gives them an ultimatum—either Matthew joins the pack in truth or leaves—the only question is, if he decides not to stay, will Bram be able to let him go?

Metal Heart is the first novel in the Metal and Magic series, a dystopian urban fantasy romance filled with magic, adventure, and the perils of being human in a supernatural world.

Excerpt

The boy landed in the dirt at my feet with a wince and a sharp inhale. A strange metallic scent coated the back of my tongue along with the pungent odor of his fear. A dark head of hair bent forward and slumped shoulders trembled as he crossed one arm over his chest holding onto the opposite elbow.

“What’s this?” I asked one of my enforcers and friend, Cyder. The only raven shifter in our pack. He and Peyton, a tiger shifter and another of my enforcers, were standing shoulder to shoulder behind where they’d just dumped their quarry. The hothouse around me was full of growth and life, a warm spot in the midst of winter’s chill. The boy looked like he could use a bit of warmth. He had on a thick looking sweater, but there were holes and dirt smears all over him and his feet were bare. I raised my eyes, waiting for an explanation.

“We found this human inside the northern boundary,” Peyton sneered, her booted foot coming up to push at the boy’s rump and send him sprawling forward. His hands shot out, barely saving him from face planting. I understood Peyton had her reasons for hating humans the way she did, but I would not tolerate that sort of treatment to any person, human or otherwise, in our territory.

“Enough,” I growled. “Leave us.”

“Alpha…”

I straightened my spine. Not that I really needed to. At nearly seven feet tall, I towered over everyone in my pack. “I will not repeat myself.”

They both nodded quickly; Cyder gripping Peyton’s elbow like he was afraid she’d object again, and they left without another word.

The boy seemed to realize I was watching him, and for a moment, I thought he’d hunker in on himself even further, but then he huffed a breath and squared his shoulders before climbing slowly to his feet, still holding his arm. As he lifted his chin, a startled look crossed his face as he tilted his head back farther and farther to meet my eyes. Even standing up straight, the top of his head barely reached the middle of my sternum.

Upright, his shoulders were wider than I thought they’d be, and I was surprised to see dark, crinkly hairs sticking out of the tears in the legs of his pants and stubble on his jaw. Not a boy after all.

He had some balls looking an Alpha shifter in the eye, but to my surprise, I was glad he did. Some nameless longing stirred in me as his scent permeated more of the air, mixing with the earthy richness of the soil and pulling at something low in my gut. And to be honest, his eyes were just beautiful. A vivid, almost neon blue surrounded by thick chestnut-colored lashes that matched the untidy mop on his head.

“What’s your name?” I asked, keeping my tone softer than I ever did with anyone else.

He swallowed twice before he answered me. “Matthew.”

Cover - Blood Oath

Blurb

A witch, a human, and a werewolf. Three men connected by love, but two of them have never met, until now.

After losing his family and coven six years ago, Felix was finally happy again. He has a job he‘s good at, two boyfriends who love him, friends, and a place to call home. That is, until a mysterious stranger brings a job into the Assassins Guild where he and his lover, Ryder, work.

On paper the job is simple, take out the sorcerer who heads the most powerful dark magic church in the country. But magic is never simple, and Ryder and Felix enlist the help of a ragtag group of unlikely heroes, including Felix’s other boyfriend Luka, to complete the job before time runs out.

Will Luka and Ryder see what Felix has always suspected? And more importantly, will they be able to accept it, and each other?

*Blood Oath is Book 1 in the Legacy of the Assassins series. It is not a standalone and ends in a soft cliffhanger.

The story within the book concludes at the end, however, the bigger story continues in Books 2 and 3, which are available for preorder. This book is an urban fantasy/paranormal MMM romance story. It contains a polyamorous relationship and no cheating.

Excerpt

Luka was confused when it came to Ryder. He’d never had a problem with Ryder per se. He just hadn’t understood how Felix could feel so connected to someone who was part of the same community that oppressed and hunted them. But now that he’d met him, he could tell Ryder wasn’t like other citizens.

That morning, when Ryder had walked into Felix’s apartment, it had taken everything inside him to not outwardly react to Ryder’s presence. The man was beautiful but in a rugged way. Felix was beautiful with his nearly elfin features and soft skin and smaller body. Ryder was pretty much the opposite, although his skin had been soft when he’d shaken the other man’s hand. And the little arcs of electricity that detonated against his flesh as they’d touched had been unsettling, to say the least.

He’d also had the strangest urges to reach out and offer Ryder physical comfort as they’d spent the morning planning. He’d hated seeing the other man struggle, and instead of feeling jealousy or envy when Felix had touched and caressed Ryder in an attempt to soothe him, he’d been glad Ryder had someone, and a little sad that he couldn’t do the same.

It was madness. He wasn’t a tactile person. He didn’t touch anyone unless he was completely comfortable with them and trusted them. Hell, he’d waited two years with Felix before moving from their first kiss to when they’d lost their virginities to each other. He trusted Felix with his life, had since he was a kid, but it had still taken time for him to be able to accept that Felix wanted his touch.

“It’s okay.” Felix gave Ryder’s arm a comforting squeeze. “We’re not going to let you down.”

“He’s right, man.” Zane nodded. “Rivers is going down today.”

“We’ve got this,” Luka added, his voice rough.

He really needed to get his head in the game and stop thinking about whatever the hell was going on with him when it came to Ryder. They had a job to do. Then all this would be over, and he could go back to his solitary life with his pack and Felix.
