Wilder is a bloodhound. Bloodhounds are men who have been changed by the government to help control vampires. <\/p>\n

Nathaniel has been kidnapped by vampires, and now Wilder and Satira have to go into the lands controlled by the vamps to get him back. The only problem is that the New Moon will soon be upon them, and Wilder will have to deal with his curse.<\/p>\n

This is a steampunk adventure, and I like Satira, and I liked the world building, but good grief was there a lot of boinking. I think a full third of the novella was sexual escapades, which just isn’t my thing.<\/p>\n

So as much as I liked the characters and world building and story, I’ll probably skip any new books, because that’s a LOT of boinking.<\/p>\n

Published by Samhain Publishing (and if I’d seen that, I probably wouldn’t have bought this book, because they publish primarily erotica, which isn’t what I’m looking for.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
