My Viking Vampire takes place in Texas 2096. It’s a different story with a bit of erotic romance. Bailey, the main character, is running from an extremely abusive relationship. She had nowhere to turn; women are considered property in 2096. They are commonly raped and slaved if they aren’t married by 18. It was only a matter of time before she is taken as well. Erick came right in time, protecting her from another supernatural. Erick himself is a vampire. Bailey had no idea how much her life was going to change from that moment.
I found the story interesting. I can honestly say that I have never read a futuristic Viking vampire paranormal romance novel. As erotic romance novels go, it was not bad. The story kept me engaged without pushing sex, but it did have a few well written steamy scenes (if that’s what you’re into). I did think Bailey was too quick to trust a vampire after all she had been through with her Ex. I’m not in any position to talk though because I moved in with my wonderful Husband after knowing/dating each other for three weeks. At the end of this novel, I was impressed with the writing. My Viking Vampire had a satisfying story, good imagination, and funny characters. If you are looking for a steamy paranormal romance with an interesting story, this is the book for you. 4/5

Erick & Bailey: An Instalove plot that actually works for me! - 5 Stars
The year is 2096 and Bailey is on the run from an abusive ex. As if things couldn't get worse, she attracts the attention of a djinn who is hellbent on capturing her. As fate would have it, she runs into a gorgeous Viking vampire named Erick. On his way home to a mysterious town called Sanctuary, Texas, he invites Bailey to come along insisting that she will be safe there. There is an instant attraction and the two develop feelings. What Bailey doesn't know is that she was always destined to come to Sanctuary, Texas since she was born. She soon discovers her true purpose for being in the town and the fate she cannot avoid.
I was ready for this book to be another one of those cliched vampire novels. I mean, the title is rather cheesy. But this book was absolutely amazing! I loved Bailey and loved the protective vibe given off by Erick. I thought Bailey being an abuse victim and the "theme" of the town was just pure genius. I loved how patient Erick was concerning her fears on alternative lifestyles and I'm so glad the book wasn't filled with a bunch of unnecessary sexual angst.
I'm very fascinated about the colorful characters of Sanctuary and loved the incorporation of all things supernatural! I definitely look forward to reading more of this series.
Happy Reading!

Loved this book by Krystal Shannon! Bailey is such a strong character and I always prefer books with strong female characters.

I enjoyed the story. It wasn’t your typical vampire romance and I liked that. I will definitely be interested to see how the story will progress with the adding of other books with other characters. I’m curious to see if it will over lap or be completely freestanding. The FMC dealt with trauma and came out stronger in the end. The MMC gave that “i have seen and felt a lot” vibe but also the “i will burn the world down” vibe. Good book. Good story. Loved the intro of BDSM too.
