What the Fang? by Stacey Kennedy
4.0
What The Fang? is set in the American South about twenty years after a war between vampires and humans ends. Vampires have been given control of Charleston, New Orleans, and Savannah, ruled by The Vampire King who lives in a large plantation west of the Mississippi River.
Most witches steer clear of vampires, but not Willa Farrington. Having been banished by her own kind for her lack of magic, Willa decides to make her home right in the middle of vampire-run Charleston, opening a book store and making some new vamp friends.
One evening while closing up shop, a random vampire attacks Willa. The powerless witch somehow manages to send out a telepathic cry for help – a cry heard by the fearsome, silver-eyed vampire Warden of Charleston, Killian Constantine, who swoops in to rescue her.
The chemistry is immediate and intense between Killian and Willa and I was surprised by how long it takes them to give in to the heat between them (page-wise, in book time it was only a few days). Really the whole book takes place in a matter of days. From the moment she’s first attacked, poor Willa is hit with revelation after revelation, about herself and pretty much her entire existence, while trying to figure out her connection to Killian and why she’s suddenly the target of a group of vampires.
A lot happens for such a relatively short book (under 200 pages). There’s a lot of discoveries made, a lot of worldbuilding, a lot of action, a healthy amount of *spice*, and a whole cast of characters – my favorite part of the book was actually the secondary characters. From an adorable pet dragon, to a pair of ride-or-die vampire best friends, and even Killian’s staff, the secondary characters really give a lot of heart to the story and I would love to see them given more page time in future books.
All in all, What The Fang? is a fast-paced, quick read packed full of likeable, interesting supernatural characters and an intricate, twisting plot that left me invested in the series and eager to read what happens next.
*I received a review copy of this book through Netgalley. You can find this review and others like it at BookAndCoffeeAddict.com, along with recommendations for a fantastic cup of coffee.
