About the Book:

Liss Lorensson is a thrall–born to be a servant of the vampire crown prince.

Gregor Valdemar is a vampire prince who chafes under the strict rule of his sire and longs for a different life.

When the two finally meet on Liss’s 21st birthday, sparks fly. But blood magic, murder, and political intrigue stand in the way of their growing romance. Vampire seduction meets the power of the blood in this first volume of the Supernaturals of Las Vegas series.

My Review:

Thrall is a paranormal romance involving the crown prince vampire and his newest thrall. Liss is the 21-year-old daughter of Gregor's family of thralls. The book begins with her making her court debut. When Liss enters the room the air shifts between her and Gregor. Their chemistry is amazing and electric. I enjoyed their interactions. What follows is a chain of events that lead to changes in power, reveals in magical abilities, treachery, and just maybe, love. 

I enjoyed Thrall. The characters were interesting and written well. I enjoyed their development throughout the story. The world-building allowed me to imagine the scenery and feel the emotions of each character. The only issues I had were the abrupt changes in the scenes and the continued miscommunication between Liss and Gregor. I had to re-read several sections because the thoughts changed to abruptly that I thought I missed something. When addressing the nobles and the rest of the court, Gregor made some announcements that affected Liss but he didn't discuss them with her first. So, now we have a 21 year-old thrall trying to pick the announcements all apart and figure out what is real and what is fake. 

The story might be over 200 pages, however, the book reads quickly. I enjoyed the characters, story, scenes, and writing of the author. The book quickly fills with suspense, and I was on the edge of my seat during certain situations. If you're looking for a book filled with vampires, politics, suspense, and romance, grab your copy of Thrall.

About the Book:

A trip to Las Vegas can be the most fun of your life.

But what if you know witches? Warlocks?

What other creatures could there be in the Las Vegas paranormal underground?

Cassandra Sanders has witnessed a messy witch divorce. Things have blown apart behind her as her friends fought with a warlock. She rides to the Stratosphere with her witch and warlock friends thinking that the worst is behind her. Throw in an Elvis impersonator, and you already have a good time ahead. But she wonders, what about her? She’s all-alone in Las Vegas. What could go wrong if she played some blackjack?

The meeting of a mysterious stranger doesn’t alarm Cass. After a casual drink, she seems to start to lose her will. Is she losing her mind? Drawn to him, she knows that maybe, this was too good to be true. He was too perfect. But in the world of the paranormal underground, where witches and warlocks played, what else should she be afraid of? Will she find out when she reaches his hotel room?

My Review:

Cassandra is in Vegas with freshly divorced and newly married friends who happen to be a witch and a warlock. Part of the trip involves a pretty irate warlock who is destroying everything in sight. To escape his wrath, they head to the Stratosphere. To relax and get past the previous goings-on the group heads to the casino for some drinking and gambling. Cass meets a strikingly handsome man and the next thing she knows she's moving under someone else's volition, because she's certainly not the one in control. As the night progresses, Cass's life will forever change and "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" will ring true.

Never Date a Vampire is a paranormal story about Las Vegas's night life and the creatures within. The story was written well with a succinct storyline. I would have liked a little more about the battle between the warlocks at the beginning of the book but otherwise the story was great. I enjoyed Cass's character and really felt her joy, unease, and awe. Her friends meant well but the lack of preparation and permission brought calamity to Cass's door which may mean the end of her life. 

I enjoyed the book, the characters and the timeline of Cass's life. It will be interesting to see how Cass develops and what happens in future books.
