Then Alice walked in…

There’s always a little part of me that’s nervous about reading follow up books from a debut author that I’ve rated high. I absolutely LOVED Heart of Malice and was completely sucked in. Could I get the same high from subsequent books? Is the author going to be a one-hit wonder? Maybe I just got the timing right when I read the first book? Well, even though the two books I’ve read since the first have been shorties, I still managed to get that buzz and finish on a high.

Don’t get me wrong, I started, and I had some doubts. Charles is someone I’m a little wary of. He’s just so Vampirish… Of course, he can't necessarily help it, he is a Vampire. By this I mean he’s arrogant, obnoxious and a wee bit egotistical. Now, sometimes this can be quite appealing, and I have been known to fall for a few Vampirish guys in my time. It’s just that sometimes they can be so unemotional, and their attraction seems based solely on lust.

So, I’m reading along and I’m trying to get some enthusiasm up for good old Charles, but he still manages to leave me cautious. The first part of the story, we get to know him a little better, meet some of his associates and get thrown into a mystery. It’s all good, but I’m waiting…

WHERE THE HECK IS ALICE???

I kind of expected her to be there from the beginning and I found that I was looking around every corner expecting her to pop up. Up until the moment Alice walks in, I’m enjoying it moderately, but I felt like something was missing. She honestly is the magic of these books. Her character is so interesting and every time you meet her, another little part of her gets exposed.

I really enjoyed reading Blood Money but the one thing that really concerns me is that ending.

WHAT THE HECK DO YOU MEAN, SEAN AND ALICE ARE ON THE ROCKS???
(This is not a spoiler, it's in the blurb for the next book)

Lisa Edmonds you better not be trying to lure me into an Alice and Charles HEA!! Sean is the MAN…well, Alpha Man…well, Warewolfy Man. Don’t you dare be messing with my happiness…I mean Alice’s happiness. They were so good together. Sure, Charles may come good…

I best leave it up to you Lisa. I trust you…sorta…kinda…maybe (if you make me happy…I mean Alice happy).
