Audiobook Review: Three Days to Dead by Kelly Meding
Three Days to Dead: Dreg City Series, Book 1 - Kelly Meding,Xe Sands

THREE DAYS TO DEAD's deck is stacked with tons of paranormal content, a funky 'work backwards' story telling style, and a tough as nails protagonist. I loved Evy; this girl has been lived through pretty much every crappy scenario you can dream up, and then some, yet she keeps her eye on the prize. Meding's DREG CITY world is vast, and exciting without being overpowering, and the urgency of Stone's situation comes through loud & clear thanks to the author writing the heroine's flashbacks in the present tense. I was iffy on the narrator for the better part of this audiobook, but I enjoyed it enough to continue listening to the series.

Vampires Never Cry Wolf by Sara Humphreys
Vampires Never Cry Wolf - Sara Humphreys

I had a lot of fun reading this one. Sadie was a great character. A vampire and owner of one of the city's hottest night clubs takes up a lot of her time - and now that a pack of werewolves has come to town (and her nightclub) she's getting a little annoyed at them. Vampires and werewolves don't really get along. But since one of those wolves, Killian, is the werewolf prince, she has to play nice.

This was a great relationship to watch grow. The verbal sparring and banter was so much fun! You knew they really liked each other and were just putting on a show - but it was a good one. Killian is everything I ever wanted from a werewolf prince. He is all Alpha and all Male and he knows he wants Sadie. If she wants to make it a challenge to catch her - well, that's even more fun.

In the background we have the tentative truce between the species and a handful on each side that doesn't care for it. Also, Sadie is starting to feel a bit weird after taking a sip from Killian - totally loved how this part of the story worked. The only minor disappointment was the werewolf king, Killian's father. He's been hyped up as the super bad-ass and then I just didn't get that from him - AT ALL. Minor complaint, but he had a fairly serious part near the end of the story.

*This book was received in exchange for an honest review*

5 full moons - "Vampire Trouble" by Sara Humphreys
Vampire Trouble - Sara Humphreys

Vampire Trouble is the second book to Sara Humphreys Dead in the City series and it was full of action, romance, and mystery.  Be prepared for a page turner while reading Vampire Trouble.

Imagine sitting in a line for a couple of hours waiting to go into a signing event (Book Bash) and wanting something to do in the mean time to make the time pass. You ponder if you should just wait to see if your daughter will strike up a conversation with you, but your daughter is in her own world with her iPod playing MineCraft.  Just then you realize, I remembered to pack my Kindle in my bag and there is this one book I have been dying to read, but college has made you put it on the back burner.  Yup…now was the time to finish it.  About 15 minutes before the line started going in for the signing, I managed to finish Vampire Trouble.  =)  Here’s hoping I didn’t freak out any of the fellow readers around me once I finished the book though.  I tend to get over-excited over the ending because I just devoted time with these characters throughout the book, and I was excited to read their HEA.  =)  Sara didn’t make it easy for them, but she did a darn good job on making the ending PERFECT for Shane and Maya.

Sara Humphreys Vampire Trouble is one book that kept me on the edge of my seat thanks to the characters, Maya and Shane, but the secondary characters as well.  I remembered meeting Maya in the first book and was anxious to read about her in Vampire Trouble.  Here is when I got to read all about Maya’s past and how she really came to be who she is.  She is the rebel of the bunch, but I learned why she was a rebel.  I also learned how tough she could be when she needed to be.  After reading Vampire Trouble, she has became a favorite female character in the Dead in the City series due to her personality and how she handles Shane.  =) (She handled Shane very well)  Oh…and let’s not forget the sexy four-century old sentry who won me over in Vampire Trouble.  Gosh darn it…can Shane be real!  He knows how to do his job as a sentry, but he also know how to romance Maya.  *sigh*  (He is complete opposite of Doug from Tall, Dark, and Vampire, and the way Sara wrote him…he was very swoon worthy.)

I won’t go into what Vampire Trouble is all about because I definitely don’t want to spoil it for anyone.  I will say this, if you haven’t read the first book, you need to and then immediately read this book.  You don’t want to miss out on the previous characters that show up in this book.  Sara gives us details on what is going on with Olivia and Doug in Vampire Trouble.  Sara even throws in additional characters to help Shane and Maya in their dilemma they are dealing with.  I LOVED Lottie!  She had the best attitude with what was happening, and she made the story really funny at times.

Vampire Trouble is full of humor, action, romance, heartache, and suspense.  Sara does an amazing job on keeping a reader turning pages to her stories and Vampire Trouble definitely kept me from going insane in the intense heat of Orlando, FL, while waiting in line.

I give this book 5 full moons and highly recommend it to paranormal romance readers out there.

I received a complimentary copy of the book from the publisher (via Netgalley) in exchange for an honest review.
