About Bitten Vampire:

Shattered by fate, transformed by blood. Can a feisty, middle-aged psychic survive her new life as a vampire — without losing herself?

Winifred “Fred” Crowsdale thought life couldn’t get worse after a decade-long relationship ended in humiliating betrayal. Then, her rambunctious husky chewed through a door, prompting her furious landlord to kick them out — and ban them from every rental in town. Her only hope? A mysterious, sentient house that offers them a home.

But Fred’s luck takes a deadly turn when a food-delivery gig in the Vampire Sector goes wrong… leaving her with fangs, an insatiable thirst, and a kill-on-sight warrant from the ruthless vampire court. Now she must fight to control her new supernatural powers while staying one step ahead of relentless hunters — and a dangerously enthralling vampire who wants her for himself.

Can Fred harness her evolving psychic gifts, protect her beloved dog, and outrun the lethal slayers?

Valdarr

My Thoughts:

Woo hoo! The Wizard House has appeared again! But... does that mean that Lark does not get to explore her powers with the Wizard House anymore??...

Valdarr is not my kind of alpha male. But, hey, to each his own.

This series is urban fantasy. I do not expect plot twists in urban fantasies. I expect plot twists in crime fiction. True to form, the books in this series is not thick on the plot. Having said that, this book, I think, has the most beautiful plot yet in the entire Otherworld series and side-serieses.

By now, I am an old Brogan Thomas fan. So, yes, I enjoyed this book!

Brogan lives in Ireland with her husband and their eleven furry children: five furry minions of darkness (aka the cats), four hellhounds (the dogs), and two traditional unicorns (fat, hairy Irish cobs).

In 2019 she decided to embrace her craziness by writing about the imaginary people that live in her head. Her first love is her number-one favourite furry child Bob the cob, then reading.

CURSED DEMON

Cursed Demon by Brogan Thomas
Book 2 in the Creatures of the Otherworld series
Narrated by Poppy Royana
Genre: urban fantasy
Format: ebook & audiobook

About Cursed Demon:

She enjoyed life as a demon’s pet. Until the cries of an innocent tore her world asunder…

Emma Case is freaking out. Being surrounded by monsters is risky enough without breaking the rules, but when the soft-hearted girl hears a pup in distress, she can’t resist trespassing on forbidden ground. And after discovering the unfortunate creature is a wolf-shifter, she’s stunned when the child’s pack accuses her of the crime and abducts her for interrogation.

Tortured for information she doesn’t have, Emma pleads desperately for her handsome tormenter to believe her. Yet as the naïve young woman tumbles deeper into the realm of supernatural intrigue, she unexpectedly manifests frightening powers she has no idea how to control.

Will Emma’s hidden heritage prove a blessing or a bane?

My Thoughts:

Most of what I am going to say about this book, I have already said in my review of the first book, Cursed Wolf. Both books have great story telling quality, wonderful world building, and characters to love! In this book the author has fully embraced the angels and demons theme but it looks like she is going to spin it slightly differently from the religious tropes which is an interesting twist!

My question is, why is the Big Ben in the cover when they were nowhere near London at all!?

The plot is a bit formulaic, but I don't care! I got a wonderful reading time out of this book!

I still like Poppy Royana's narration though this time her voice has morphed into Emma's. I also agree with her interpretation of the book and best of all, her sassy narration!

The Narrator

About Poppy Royana:

Born and raised in the South East but finding her home in the North, Poppy is a bi British Narrator based in not too sunny Manchester. With experience in musical theatre, Poppy is both a singer and a book lover and teaches singing when she’s not found narrating in her booth.

Poppy’s voice could possibly be mistaken at times for Olivia Colman’s so we’d like to think that, in our opinion, Poppy has an award-winning voice. She sounds warm and uplifting whilst being articulate and crisp; and not only that but she can nail sarcasm to a T. There’s really not much Poppy can’t do!
