Description

I’m Sam, the werewolf book nerd owner of The Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore & Bar. My husband, Master vampire Clive, has been asked to go to Budapest to interview for a position in the Guild, a council of thirteen vampires who advise the world’s Masters. The competition for the recently vacated spot is fierce. I worry about Clive, as it quickly becomes apparent that the last person to hold the position didn’t leave voluntarily.

Ever the supportive wife, I’m tagging along. I researched Budapest and had a long itinerary of things to do. That is, I did. When we arrive, we find out that the Guild headquarters is in the ruins of an abandoned insane asylum. Awesome. If there’s one thing I love, it’s being hounded by mentally unstable Hungarian ghosts.

Let’s just say this isn’t the romantic getaway I’d been hoping for. With Clive in top secret meetings and a bunch of creepy Renfields skulking around corners, nowhere is safe. I want to help Clive because I know he really wants the job, but the other Guild members are ancient and scary powerful. Between you and me, I thought Vlad would be taller.

Wish us luck! We’re going to need it.

    Took me awhile to pick up story line. Been some time since I read the previous one. Look forward to reading more.

    This is one the best books of the series she has written about Sam Quinn(half werewolf/half witches) and her bookstore and bar: THE SLAUGHTERED LAMB BOOKSTORE AND BAR. ( and if you can’t figure out the name - I believe that the slaughtered lamb refers to her. All the books refer to her adventures, but read them in order. 6 of 7 are available for preorder. Trust me when I say, you will want to finish each book w/o putting them down. I’m not telling you more (see title of RBI’s review) they are spicy, gory, humorous, w/love, joy, sadness and horror. And the action never stops. Know this: the main character (and the author) are huge fans of the lor of the rings, as am I. Enjoy
  • I finished too soon!

    I was SO happy to get a new Sam book that I couldn’t put it down and now I’m done. Ugh! I should have paced myself as it was such a treat. I love this series! Sam’s transformation has been so great to follow. This series has everything - yes, it’s paranormal fiction but it also has history, fantasy and mythology. There’s love, romance, action and some pretty cool fight scenes too. The supporting characters are all interesting and some very fun twists on some familiar legends. Can’t wait for what comes next - Vlad ROCKS! ❤️
