Make Me: Book Four of The Demon Underground Series by Parker Blue

Val made the mistake of falling in love with Shade.  She slept with him and lost not only her virginity but her powers.  Now all she has left is Lola, the part of her that is a Succubus.  She can control male vampires with that but not female.  She's called the Slayer and she's feared but she isn't what she was before...

BelleBooks and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published today.

Since Val works with both vampires and demons, the chances of her getting killed are good.  Especially since she's trying to create peace between not only them but humans, too.  She's also got two books which has spells she can use to help but Jack isn't teaching much and he's not teaching her fast.  He was the keeper of the books in the past and he hates to give them up.  Then there's the fact that everyone else wants them...

In the battle over the spell books, Micah and Gwen get kidnapped and a mage demon demands the books.  As they try to find time to create a counter play, Shade ends up being taken as hostage by the female vampire leader.  Val just isn't having any luck.  How can she save everybody without someone ending up dead?  She can't...

I don't normally read vampire or demon stories but Val and her antics really appeal to me.  She's only 18, doesn't know enough about the immortal enemies she's fighting to be successful but she never gives up.  She protects those she loves.  The ending in this book wasn't very satisfying so I hope I get to read the next in the series.  It may not be possible in the world of vampire and demons but I still like "happy ever after" endings.

Catch Me Book 6 of The Demon Underground Novels by Parker Blue

I love this series.  Vampires with magic like mind control, a succubus and incubus here and there, Val as a vampire slayer and more, these stories are always entertaining and busy.

Bell Bridge Books and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you).  It is being published today, so you can grab a copy now.

Everything goes to hell when the leader of the "good" vampires goes missing.  No one knows where or how he disappeared but they are all willing to work on getting him back.  Some more so than others.  The longer he's missing, the more one of the lieutenants is pushing to take over the group. Luis is willing to let him stay gone.

Austin, on the other hand, is going to find him and he asks Val to help him.  They've been trying to date but it seems each date gets interrupted by rogue vampires.  It's hard to be a vampire slayer and trying to get a night off.  This is an opportunity for Val to actually spend some time with him, so she says yes.  She also wants to save the leader but Austin is more important to her.

There are traitors, vampire attacks, demons to contend with and more.  Things take a shift in the story and I can tell the author is setting up for more in the series.  That's good, these are enjoyable read.  They're not that long, they're exciting and interesting and I find this world fascinating.

I have to admit, though, that my favorite "character" is Fang, the hellhound.  If you have one of those on your side, you can do almost anything.  I want one.

BITE ME, TRY ME, FANG ME by Parker Blue

She knew she was always different since she had some demon blood in her, but she still didn't understand why her mother didn't like her much.  She knew her standing in the family when she got thrown out of the house and fired from the bookstore they owned on her eighteenth birthday.  Some present, eh?


I got this three book series to review in eBook form from Net Galley.  It's published by Bell Bridge Books (thank you both for the opportunity to review).  It's out in paperback now and you can pick up a copy at your local bookstore.


I don't normally read books about vampires, but demons seem to fascinate me.  I think it's because there are so many types, most are unpredictable, and many of them are totally tricky and a bit sadistic.  Almost reminds me of some my relatives...


I really, really enjoyed this read.  Ms. Parker has a wonderful imagination and uses that to create a story that reads well, has good action and danger in it, and a side of romance as well.


Val is part demon.  When she finds a dog that will help her fight vampires, she's pleased.  When he talks to her through mental telepathy, she's amazed.  Turns out he's part Hell Hound himself.  Add in a cop and an undercover police unit that is searching for the bad vampires and you've got the theme of the first book.


By the second book, you have a mansion filled with good vampires who are using blood donations to meet their dietary needs.  (That's versus the ones that either drink their victims dry or try to turn them.)  This is also where Val and Fang (the dog) meet Shade, who is also part demon.  Soon they are fighting the bad vamps together.


By book three, you have vamps and demons trying to work together, a mage trying to steal the Magick books, Shade who can open portals to other worlds, and did I mention that Val is a succubus?


The stories are fast paced, follow each other logically and are fun to read.  There's humor, love, danger, lies, secret plots, and more.  Why not pick up a copy and read it yourself?


And, the good news?  There may be another book in this series.  I sure hope so.  I don't think Val, Shae and Fang are done yet...


Happy reading!
