Book Review : Bloodlust Bites by Luanne Bennett
Today I am on the tour for Bloodlust Bites by Luanne Bennett
Publication Day: 25th August 2024
Published by: Second Sky
Welcome to Crimson, Georgia. I’m Charley Underwood—witch, bar owner, and accidental demon hunter.
Crimson isn’t a regular town. With vampires, shifters, and humans living side by side, tensions always run high. I try to keep the peace, and most of the time nobody gets hurt. Most of the time.
Right now, Crimson is one bite away from all-out chaos.
A dangerous new wolf is stirring up trouble. A sexy vampire is on the hunt, with a gun full of sunlight bullets. And thugs from Atlanta are threatening my friends.
As if that wasn’t enough, my magic is running wild. One second it’s throwing bad guys through windows, the next it fizzles out to nothing. There’s only one way to get it under control—by taking lessons from Crimson’s terrifying old-school coven of witches.
I need to get a handle on it fast. Way out in the woods, someone is attacking young women, leaving them bitten and bloody. Is it a stranger or one of our own?
When police pin the attacks on one of my bartenders, it’s clear that none of this is random. Someone is coming after me and the people I love.
I’ll do anything to protect my crew. Even strike a deal with a vicious old enemy.
Because when I see what I’m fighting against, it’s clear I need all the help I can get.
MY REVIEW
I do love Charley and this series is one of my favs! This book mainly focuses on Charley and her powers. Yes, we have the story of Tucker, her ex-boss, dead people but Charley really came into her own here. Although I may need to have words with Luanne after the scare of one character, I mean dust!!!!! really!!!!
It was interesting to see outside Crimson vampires and how they affect the small town. Murphy had an extra bug up his ass in this book and I wasn’t and am not a fan of his character is behaving right now – he needs to look outside the box!!
The witch’s trial…well that was some psychedelic trip!! I mean why did it have to be spiders!!!!!!!
Dog and Candy are, still by far, my favs in this book and I was hoping for a different direction for Dog with a love interest but to be honest I quite enjoy how it’s playing out. This book is more about the characters, not the vicious murders that are happening or the dead people on Charley’s porch. It’s the lives of the people in the Stag and the Cauldron. They bring the book to life and they bring Crimson to life and worryingly they bring the baddies to life! I hope for more of Patrick and Samuel in the next book 😉
Luanne has created this fantastic series, I love her writing. I love her world-building I am so excited to see what happens next. I mean Beau – what the heck and that “present” Charley got….what the heck does that mean! OH MY DAYS!!!
Until the next time xxx
