Have you heard of these novellas from 1001 Dark Nights? This was my 1st one and it won’t be my last! It’s a novella that is separate from an author’s books to give you a taste of their writing. What a clever idea. I will be checking out the back catalog for sure.
A Vampire’s Kiss is set in the same world as Zanetti’s Dark Protector / Rebel world. In this story we meet Athan Maxwell, a vampire who saved his fated mate’s life and became bonded, saving both of their lives. Now they only meet up four times a year to exchange blood to keep themselves healthy. Athan knows that his mate is a strong woman, he’s attracted to her independence & wit but his guilt over making her immortal makes him stick to the deal of only meeting up four times a year.
However, when he discovers a new threat on her life, his promise of sitting back and leaving her alone goes right out of the window.
A Vampire’s Kiss gave quite a bit of backstory on the world that perhaps isn’t necessarily needed in a novella. Thankfully the story was intriguing and fast paced. Did I mention there was some spice to it too? 😉
This books has:
♥️ Fated mates
♥️ “Touch her and die” vibes
♥️ Steam
♥️ Car chases
♥️ Vampires
All in under 200 pages!
I was gifted this book from Brilliance Audio and am so grateful. I was able to pop my head into this complex and detailed world. Narrator Stella Bloom was fantastic. She had American & Irish accents that transported me. Her inflections and intonations gave each character a unique voice that made for an enjoyable experience. If you have the opportunity, go check out the audiobook.
