How to Defy a Vampire by Alice Winters

4.0

 

4 stars - It was really good

After the past two books have been focusing on different couples in the VRC this book returns us to the OG couple, Marcus and Finn. Finn has stumbled across another crime scene and it brings back ghosts from Marcus’ past. While the normal grumpy vampire is closed lipped about his past, this time he has to open up and figure out what these vampires want and how it involves Watson. 

Finn and Marcus have been together for a while now and they have gone through a lot of shit.  Finn and Marcus are my favorite couple in this series and they really just can’t get a break, which they desperately need. After they got rid of Watson they both thought things would finally calm down for Finn but we quickly find out that the past isn’t done with him and he finds himself in danger again. 

This was another suspenseful book with Finn being in danger, the vampire council causing problems, and an evil vampire from the past returning a killing people.  I can’t really say more about what happens in the book without giving too much away, but it was a lot. I couldn’t put the book down once things started popping off and it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, which is always a good sign. 

Overall, this was another action packed and emotional book. I love that we returned to Finn and Marcus, but hope they get a bit of a break in the future because they have had a rough time lately.
